"Were you trying to hide the fact that you've been taking this kind of medicine?"  Knave asked.

Hearing this, Shaun's face was covered in despair, but his eyes displayed amazement at Knave's knowledge.

"Are you shocked that I recognize this kind of rare pill?" Knave asked

"It's actually very simple. I've consumed this pill once too." He answered.

Knave nonchalantly uttered this alarming sentence and Shaun's face was shocked, but then turned sceptical.

"I ate this medicine in a different way though. I took the pill and split it into five pieces, using them one at a time. Taking the pill in small doses reduces the side effects to almost nothing. I took it because it has a different kind of effect on the man. It helps in the regulation of the blood in the body.

However, I had a deep impression of this pill because of its strong scent. Until now, I believed no one apart from me had taken the medicine before, nor would they even if they knew of its existence. But now I unexpectedly find it on you."

After saying this, he looked down at Shaun and felt both admiration and pity for him.

Shaun didn't wish to see Knave's gaze any longer so he closed his eyes, and only his chest moved with his breathing. After hearing this explanation, his mind was in total chaos.

"So, it seems like our elder senior brother turns out to be an elder senior sister, huh!"

Hearing this Shaun had completely given up hope and his eyes were now filled with despair but a tint of killing intent could be seen in them.

Looking at the reaction that Shaun had shown Knave was satisfied, as this was what he truly wanted to see.

"You have already taken this medicine for several years so I don't think you can get up to kill me even if you wanted too." Knave said with a devilish smile on his face.

Seeing him like this Shaun was frightened to the point his body was shaking. It was like he was the prey that had just been spotted by the predator.

If you sign the slave contract with me and be under me for 10 years I would not only help you hide your secret but I can also, can try to find a remedy to help you with this pills side effects.

Although you won't be able to get off it's urged that easily it should still be possible to stop it in half a year.

This will be at the cost of your body functions, going through severe pain though. If you instead continue to take this pill, you will continue to suffer flare-ups.

And if you don't stop now you will at most be able to be normal for five to six more years, though after that if you don't take this pill once every day then the pain you will experience will be hundred times worse than what you are feeling right now.

Since you decided to eat this pill in the first place, you must be a resolute person." Knave explained his intentions.

Then he pulled out a talisman paper from his bag of holdings.

"Now, make a decision." Knave said.

Shaun's eyelids twitched and his mind flew into chaos as he tried to make a decision.

After a moment his two tightly closed eyes opened and he fiercely gazed at the talisman in Knave's hand. Within his eyes were a fiery, zealous look.

Knave silently brought the talisman near Shaun's hand.  When both of them put their hands at the opposite ends the talisman started to shine.

"My name is Knave"

With much difficulty Shaun spoke, "I Shauna Swift take Knave as my Master for the next 10 years and shall never disobey any of his orders. If I do shall heavenly lightning befall on me and I die."

"I Knave accept Shauna Swift as my servant"

As soon as the pledges we're over the talisman burned and two locks came from within and went towards Shauna's heart and brain, while a chain was formed from Knave's divine sense which got connected to Shauna.
