Oral Promise
"Are you fucking kidding me?"
Jake nearly drowned in the lava sea when he heard the solution proposed by the Zhorion woman. Obviously, she had anticipated his reaction because her lips had curled up into a smug grin.
"Don't turn me down without knowing all the details. "She explained when she saw that her lack of transparency could put an end to their exchange prematurely. "It is I who will sign the Servant Contract."
" You ?! "Jake gasped when he heard such an absurd promise. "What's in it for you to be willing to make such a sacrifice?"
He had already grasped why she had offered to turn him into a Zhorion Viscount. Based on his folkloric knowledge of mythical creatures like vampires or werewolves, he knew that there was usually a form of subordination from the transformed to the transformer.
