Chapter 2833 [Trembling Contract]
Carina frowned slightly as she looked at the paper, as if she remembered something, but she was not sure yet. However, Luvia and Vanessa came back soon. After listening to the description of the relic, the purple-eyed fortune-teller immediately knew what it was:
"When I was still training in the association, the few angel-level relics I came across included this. This is the [Trembling Contract], which is one of the few relics that is recognized as 'uncontainable'.
It usually appears randomly in books, disguising itself as a piece of paper inside the book. When the reader reads the book, once the thoughts of "I hope to get something" or "I am worried about something" appear in his mind, the contract will automatically be established.
Your fears will be heightened, but equally, once they are overcome, your desires will be fulfilled.”
Luvia's purple eyes looked at Ajelina, who was sitting at the long dining table in the banquet hall with a cat squatting above her head.
"The problems she is experiencing now are caused by this contract."
The little red-haired princess asked pitifully:
"Is it okay for me to not have any wisdom? If I can overcome my fear of being ignored, can I return to my normal self?"
Karina, who also remembered what this was, nodded:
"In theory, that's right, Ajelina. You're lucky. If Leicia hadn't brought Mia here, we probably wouldn't have seen you until now. You would have become more and more worried about being ignored in fear until you disappeared completely."
She was not trying to intimidate Ajelina. If an angel-level relic didn't even have this much power, it wouldn't be worthy of being an angel-level relic:
"Luvia, what you said just reminded me that if the contract is successfully terminated, the paper will automatically turn into white ash and disappear. But the contract has a time limit, Luvia, I remember the time limit is 7 days, right?"
Luvia nodded:
"Yes. If the problem cannot be solved within seven days, Ajelina will remain as she is now forever. And the contract itself will turn into white ash until one day, it appears again in another book.
Therefore, the secret keepers of the association even believe that the relic itself is a concept rather than an entity. "
According to them, the way the problem is solved also corresponds to the value of the reward obtained later. "Overcoming one's own fear" can actually be solved in many ways, even through hypnosis, personality modification and other methods.
But taking shortcuts means little gain, but at least it is feasible. After all, the greatest danger of this relic is not solving the contract content, but realizing that it has signed a contract.
Now that there is a solution, Leisia certainly wants to rescue Ajelina from this terrible state as soon as possible:
"Who among you is the best at hypnosis or personality manipulation? Or how about I take her to find Siris who is still in Tobesk and let her implant a memory into Ajelina?"
She looked at Carina and Vanessa with hope, and finally asked for Shade's opinion. But Ajelina tugged at Resia's sleeve, raised her head, and said in a low but firm voice:
"Sister, since there is still a week left, can you hypnotize me later?"
Seeing that everyone was looking at her, Ajelina mustered up the courage to explain:
"I know it's dangerous, but I want to try to overcome my fear in my own way. Sister, you were right yesterday. I also need to grow up. I can't always hide behind everyone.
Let me try it first, and if it doesn't work, I can solve it that way. And as long as Mia is above me, I can be seen by everyone, so you don't have to worry about me."
Shade looked at Resia and let her make her own decision. The red-haired princess pursed her lips for a long time without saying anything, and finally looked at Carina. This surprised the Duchess very much. This was probably the first time that Resia asked her for help because she was an elder.
So Carina Cavendish helped them decide:
"Ajelina, we'll give you five days. If you haven't solved your problem in five days, do as Leicia says."
"Siris can indeed solve this problem. She is good at manipulating memory and can also temporarily modify personality. Let Siris help you when the time comes."
Vanessa also said this, and the little princess immediately nodded, and she was very polite and did not forget to thank the Witch of the Earth.
"But in this case, Ajelina can't stay in Tobesk."
Carina reminded again:
"What's the point of her walking around the Yodel Palace with a cat on her head every day? And I don't think Mia would like to be away from Shade every day."
"Can I stay in Vista Glade for a while? I promise not to wander around and I'll follow Shade's instructions in everything!"
Ajelina then continued, and Leisia hesitated for a moment but nodded:
"I'll ask Dorothy to look after you, Shad. Please also let Little Mia work hard for a while. I'll treat her to a big meal when this is over."
From beginning to end, no one wanted to explore why this cat's perception was stronger than Shad's, and why Ajelina could be observed by everyone as long as it squatted on her head.
The cat's performance in the Battle of Moon Bay had already made everyone know that it was very powerful. So as long as Shade didn't mention it, the ladies wouldn't speculate on what Mia was.
In short, Ajelina was arranged to live in the Shining Emissary. As for her brief absence from Tobesk, Carina would write a letter to King Larus III to explain the situation, and to the outside world, she would use the excuse that "Princess Ajelina had caught a cold" to explain her absence.
Although Leicia was worried, she quickly returned to Yodel Palace to help Ajelina pack her luggage.
She did not bother Grace and Helen anymore, but asked Shade to call the chocobo and ride the chocobo to take her to the tree cave in the forest. After all, the Yulun Lake where the boat was located was not far away.
The two of them rode on a chocobo each. During the short journey through the forest, Leicia asked Shade with great concern:
"Am I usually too harsh on Ajelina?"
Xia De smiled and said:
"I'm usually strict with her, hoping that she can become a better person. But once something happens to her, I start to reflect on myself. Leicia, the relationship between you two sisters is really interesting."
"That's my sister. I just care about her."
She had really complicated emotions about this matter.
Shad simply sent Leicia back to the tree hole and left. Leicia and Dorothy had the ability to exchange items in each other's hands and even other parts of the body, so the luggage would be delivered directly in this way later.
However, this way, Ajelina would not have a personal maid. Although Carina could let her maids take care of her, Ajelina really decided to take this opportunity to change herself, so she refused the maid.
Several witches were quite satisfied with her determination, and Shade had always believed in Ajelina's potential.
In the past when Leicia was not around, Ajelina became the queen and was suspected of unifying the entire Old World. This shows that what she lacked was not ability, but determination.
That afternoon, Grace and Helen also brought Mother-in-law Cassandra and Miss Swift and their group over, but the two sisters stayed in Midhill Castle for the time being and would come back when Shad needed them.
Including Flora, Vestal Glade has gathered the five great witches of Balance, Light, Darkness, Death and Earth.
According to convention, a banquet is needed to welcome such a big event. Originally, everyone wanted to hold the banquet on the Radiant Emissary, but Flora wanted to welcome everyone herself:
“This is my home ground.”
So she had asked Miss Bell to book the almost unused banquet hall on the fourth floor of the Accordion Hotel long ago, and had also found a local chef to prepare the dishes for the banquet.
That evening, after everyone had put their luggage away, Shade went into the city with the witches.
Although Miss Danister had no relationship with the witches, she still attended the banquet. This was not only because of Flora's relationship with Shade, but also because of Grandma Cassandra, the old witch who was a distant relative of hers. The two did not talk much during the last rescue at Love Lake.
At the beginning of the banquet, when everyone was holding their glasses and greeting each other or making various jokes, the red-haired duchess looked at the red-haired 18-year-old girl sitting across the long table filled with sumptuous food with a scrutinizing look:
"When I was eighteen, I was much prettier than her. My hair color was better too."
"what are you talking about?"
Miss Aurora asked with a smile. The great witch with big wavy brown hair wore a gorgeous golden dress today. And because she was the tallest witch of this generation, she looked even more charming:
"That's Xia De's teacher. Are you overthinking it?"
She certainly saw what the Duchess was thinking, and Carina snorted as expected:
"Shad has never been able to resist a young, beautiful, red-haired girl like me. Look at his attitude towards Resia and Ajelina. That's proof."
"This"
Miss Aurora, holding a glass of champagne, looked at her friend and felt that she was indeed too narcissistic sometimes.
However, Carina did not continue to "criticize" Miss Danister. She had not yet done the most important thing in attending this welcome party.
Soon, Miss Danister received the news and temporarily left the hotel to go to the forest to pick up Emilia. So the Duke, who had just pointed fingers at the sorceress, took a glass of wine and found Flora who was talking to Shade and Luvia.
"Miss Owl" knew the importance of today, and because of a certain degree of "comparison", she also dressed up specially and was not inferior to Miss Aurora.
Seeing Carina coming, she wanted to greet her generously, but then she saw the Duchess walked directly to Shade, stood with Shade, facing her and smiled brightly:
"Flora, thank you for taking care of Shade here during this period of time."
