258 THINGS RUTO HAS TO DO

[THE BURN stings like hell.]

Ruto was mad– mad that Neoma had to experience something as painful as this just to make a contract with the Devil. If he knew that she would end up needing the help of the Devil, he would have done it in her place.

But it was hard to predict Neoma's actions lately because she was very different from the one that he remembered.

"I bet you'll regret this later," the Devil taunted him while happily folding the new contract that he had with Neoma. The content was still the same except for the payment that he had asked in return for lending Her Royal Highness his help. "I heard Princess Neoma likes handsome men. Do you think she'll look at your way now that your face looks like that?"

"It's true that Neoma likes good-looking people," Ruto admitted while looking at Neoma who was still deeply asleep in his arms. "But she's not a shallow person."

"It seems like you're confident that Princess Neoma will still like you."
