"…Hmm? It's nothing, I was just thinking about something."
"Master, don't let this man's words affect you. He doesn't know what he's saying."
"I know Alexios, I know..." But, despite having said that, he was still thinking about Victor's words.
Without Victor knowing or intending to do so, he ended up planting a seed of doubt in the king's heart.
"Victor, why did you say that?" Scathach asked curiously.
"I just wanted to tease him a little, it's no big deal now... Whether he has any doubts or not, that's not my problem." Victor completely ignored the subject. After all, it wasn't his problem.

"Yes, Master." Alexios opened the box he brought and took out a black parchment.
"That's..." Scathach immediately recognized what it was.
"Yes, this is a magical witch contract, the same thing you signed in the past, Scathach."
