Contract

Chapter 20

"Why did I feel that when he says that he means another thing?" Reina said to herself.

"By the way I am useful especially when dealing with an enemy. How about that would you consider it?" asked the White fox.

"Foxes are really cunning" Reina said.

"If you don't want it just get lost in here kid" said the White Fox impatiently.

"Ok fine I agree" Reina replied.

"Hmmmm….that's good to hear" replied the White fox.

The white fox chant the spells for the contract. Then a dazzling blue light appear from the forehead of the white fox and flew to Reina. She felt cold that cover all over her body.

"Now we are bound by an equal contract" said the white fox in Reina's mind.

"Is this an example of mental telepathy" said Reina excitedly.

The white fox was puzzled by what he heard. "May be" the white fox replied confusedly.

"Now I will guide you to mine this spirit stones. By the way always remember if you plan on using me into a fight you have to make sure you have plenty of energy. Because once you let me fight I consume large amount of spirit energy. You have to strengthen your body to contain your power and at the same time it will increase the strength of your spiritual blessings" said the white fox.

Reina was amazed of what she heard. She really need someone like a master who will taught her.

"Thank you Mr. White fox" Reina said respectfully.

"Call me Master Farron" said the White Fox smugly.

Reina's mouth twitch to the white fox smugness.

"Now ride on my back" said the white fox and lower his head. "But it doesn't mean that I am kneeling to you" he added sarcastically.

Reina rolled her eyeball to the tsundere fox behind his back and ride on him.

"My lady, where are you going?" shouted Sir Alabaster with worry.

"Don't worry we will just explore the entire area to look for more spiritual stones" Reina replied before she disappeared with the knights sight.

All the knights are alarmed of what they heard their lady say but they can't complain about it.

As Reina and the white fox explore the inside of the cave. She see an extreme amount of spirit stones. As the name it implied it strengthen a certain persons spiritual energy and magic. This is the reason why it is being coveted by other nobles in the story. But in the said novel, her stepsister Leonor and the Crown Prince are those who discovered this place. But because they are much more focus on their love affair the Jabalom Kingdom stole it easily.

Reina was mesmerized by the beauty expose in her eyes while the white fox formed a ball of blue spirit energy and fired it one by one to the spirit stone rooted on the ground.

The entire cave tremble violently and the knights and the people outside are alarmed.

"Hey, Mr. Fox can you be more gentle?" Reina said with dissatisfaction.

"What kind of gentleness would you expect to a beast like me?" the White fox replied with complain.

"Yeah right! What am I expecting?" Reina said to herself with disappointment.

"Hey kid are you dissatisfied with me?" the White fox replied in her mind.

Reina was stunned, she forgot that the white fox can read her mind. "Such a hassle" she said to herself.

"What again now?" the white fox asked again suspiciously.

"I didn't say anything" Reina said seriously.

She focused herself in exploring the spiritual stones that can be found inside the cave.

"Hey kid how about use your power in getting the spiritual stones" suggest the White fox.

"Can I really do that now?" asked Reina in surprise to the White fox.

"Yes, just focus your energy in your hand and imagine what you want to do to a certain object" replied the White fox.

"Ok I will try" said Reina. She extend her arm and open her hand. She focused her mind in gathering her spiritual energy in her body to her hand and think of uprooting the spiritual stone. Her energy goes to the spirit stone and cover it. The spirit stone tremble and as if being pulled upward then drop down on the ground.

"Wow! Did I really do that?" Reina said with surprise.

"Yes and you can do more than that if you train harder" said the White fox.

Reina was amazed on what she heard to the White fox.

"Then I will work harder in the training" Reina said.

"Very well kid, now just repeat the things you did in that stone to another one" said the White fox.

"Ok" Reina said then repeat the things she did for a couple of times. Then as time pass by her speed in uprooting spiritual stones increased.

The White fox was surprised with her speed and strength to withstand the amount of spiritual energy she released. He experience being with a lot of gifted beings but this woman has an abnormal strength that is hidden inside her small body.

"Hmmmm not bad for me for having this kind of contractor" said the White fox to himself.

"Are you saying something?" asked Reina. She heard a murmur from the White fox.

"I didn't say anything" replied the White fox innocently.

Reina didn't mind what he says and look at the spirit stones she uprooted in the cave.

"I think it's enough for now I didn't bring a large carriage for the transportation of this things" Reina said with satisfaction.

"Humans are typically greedy but this kid is different" the White fox mumbled to herself. He is moved from the kind of attitude Reina shows. "Kid I hope you won't disappoint me" he said to Reina using telepathy.

Reina simply smile at the White fox words "Mr. Fox let's go I will call my people to get the spirit stones" she said excitedly.

"Hmmmm" agreed the White fox and run outside the cave.

All the knights are startled when they see Reina riding at the back of the huge White fox.

"My lady, are you alright?" asked Sir Alabaster when Reina get near them.

"Yes, I'm fine thank you for asking Sir Alabaster" Reina replied then smile warmly.

"Where have you gone to my lady?" asked Sir Alabaster.

"I asked him to bring me to other spirit stones. By the way call the miners that my brother contacted outside the cave. Help them in transferring the spirit stones that I dig" said Reina.

"As you wish my lady. Leave it to me and please don't do something recklessly" said Sir Alabaster.

"Ok, don't worry I won't do it again" Reina replied.

In the Duke's Mansion....

Leonor knocked on the Seventh Prince room with food in her hand.

"Yes lady, what can I do for you?" asked the Seventh Prince when he opened the door.

Leonor smile sweetly at the Seventh Prince "Hello! Your highness I hope I didn't disturb you" she said shyly.

The Seventh Prince looked at her with disgust but he didn't show it.

"So what do you want from me lady?" asked the Seventh Prince.

"I brought you lunch because earlier you didn't eat breakfast with us. So I brought you something to eat forgive me for my impudence" Leonor said shyly.

Leonor knows that whenever she use this kind of move, most men will be smitten instantly to her. But the Seventh Prince is different he used to receive this same treatment to others. Men or women didn't have any difference especially when looking at him with their lustful eyes.

"This disgusting woman think highly of herself. Does she think I am that idiot Crown Prince who can easily be deceive" said the Seventh Prince to himself.

"I'm sorry lady but getting inside a gentleman's room is not good for a woman's reputation. Especially a woman who is engage to another man" replied the Seventh Prince.

Leonor face flushed, she felt her face being slapped with the Seventh Prince words. Although she didn't sense the sarcasm in his words but she still felt that his words mean something negative.

"Forgive me your highness. I'm just concern about your health" replied Leonor with teary eyes.

"Forgive me lady for offending you and thank you for your concern but I will go in to the dining room myself later" the Seventh Prince replied politely. "So, if you'll excuse me because I still have something to do" he added before he close the door of his room.

Leonor gritted her teeth "This impudent whore of a man really thinks highly of himself. I will let you realize that I am much better than that bitch" she said to herself with anger and jealousy.

"In the future you will be mine as my toy and you will beg for my attention. I'll humiliate you after that I will give you to the Emperor of Jabalom as a gift for strengthening the Crown Prince position" Leonor mumbled to herself.
