57 Saitos Promise (1/2)

Contrary to what she expected, there was a cold look in Saito's eyes. She thought he would accept her in a blink of an eye. She knew how many people looked at her with lewd eyes.

Even though she wasn't a pure woman, she was sure that no man would be able to resist the charm she still held. She was sure of her beauty, yet here Saito grasped her throat and asked her with the ruthless intent, ”Do you find it easy to say those words? Do you even know what you have just said?”

She had some difficulty in speaking, and she coughed out, Saito let her down as he felt a sudden shockwave from one side of the Wooden Dome. She took the opportunity to take a deep breath and started speaking tearfully, ”What can I do in this situation? I am just a slave of that man… I can't pay you back through Gold Coins. This is the only way I know!”

”Listen, woman! It is not that you can't. It is just that you haven't even thought about it. Couldn't you have just given me a mission to kill Carl Warren and all his wives? The remaining property left would have been yours. Do with it as you wish! Can't you think for yourself at all? Did you want to leave your son behind?” He gave a surprising suggestion.

Sure enough, even though on paper, she was legally his wife. If he and all his wives died, the whole property would be inherited by her alone.

”I-I didn't know if you would accept this or not. Those women are also innocent. I do not wish to have them killed just so I could pay the reward that should be given by me alone.” She stared into his eyes and spoke out with a strong sense of morality.

”I see… So, you do not wish to kill that man's other wives, huh. Very well… I will accept your mission. As you said, you will be my slave after I complete this mission. I hope you do not regret it.” Saito said to her while she looked straight into his eyes.

”If this saves the life of my son, I shall never regret it and serve you for eternity.” She didn't look like she was going to back down from those words.

Alferd was careful enough to not speak right now, he was scared. He didn't think that so much was going on… He knew that his mother was unhappy with his new father, but he never expected this to be the case.

Hearing that his mother was going to become a slave for his sake caused him to start crying. He couldn't stop himself and begins to sob, ”Sorry mother… Because of me, you were threatened. Sorry… Sorry…”

”Idiot son… You don't need to be sorry.” She embraced him a little tightly to comfort him. Her robe was drenched by the tears of her son.

Saito approached him very slowly and bends down. He gently starts to pat on the top of his head, ”Don't worry… I will surely save you.”

It was unknown, but slowly, Alferd started to calm down. The reason why Saito had actually accepted her as his servant was very different from what Sophie was expecting.

Sophie thought that he wanted her to satisfy him sexually. She was even willing to do that if this meant that her son could be saved.

There were two reasons, first was because she didn't have any way to repay him back. And if he wasn't compensated again, there was a high chance that he wouldn't even accept this mission.

If she was captured by that man once again after the death of her son, she would be devasted and would be violated by that man or perhaps get sold to some other man.

Saito was very handsome with a fair complexion, even though he was young. He had the look of a man which drew her close to him, if she had to do the sexual service for the men anyways, she would instead do it with a handsome man like him.

Furthermore, from the shockwaves, she could feel. She understood a great deal, the wooden dome was solid. The shockwaves were strong enough to vibrate through the wooden dome and the earth for them to feel, but the force-generating it still wasn't able to break it.

This made her sure of Saito's power. Sophie felt that she and her own son would be safe as long as they were under Saito's care.

However, what caused Saito to accept her as his slave was because he wanted Sophia to do the household work. He couldn't really remain in Chloe's house for very long, he was planning to buy his own home in the Vermillion kingdom where he could live.
