After all this was done, Natsuki Minamiya's gaze swept back and forth between Abel and Aurora's faces.
The Fourth Progenitor is the Demon God-Slaying King.
Looking at the two, Natsuki Minamiya sighed softly in her heart.
Then she lifted her skirt and bowed to Abel, "Natsuki Minamiya greets Your Majesty, the Demon King."
Abel raised an eyebrow slightly, looking at Natsuki Minamiya bowing before him.
However, Abel didn't say anything.
It was normal for her to know his identity.
"Mm, no need for formalities," Abel nodded.
Then he casually pulled out a chair, sat on it, and crossed his legs.
He would deal with his and Natsuki Minamiya's matters later.
Right now, the most important thing for Natsuki Minamiya was Aurora.
Natsuki Minamiya looked at Aurora and didn't say much.
Not many people knew that the Fourth Progenitor was Aurora.
She was one of them.
The Lion King Organization and the King also knew.
However, once the news of the Fourth Progenitor's awakening spread, the small Itogami Island would attract many individuals.
For example, the Ophiuchus from the War King's Domain.
So, for safety's sake, Natsuki Minamiya decided to have her stay at school, and being with the King after school would also be completely safe.
Natsuki Minamiya slowly spoke, "Aurora, would you like to come to school here?"
"Yes."
Aurora answered directly without hesitation.
Such speed was unexpected even by Natsuki Minamiya.
Shouldn't the two of them have some back and forth before she agreed?
Why did she agree directly?
Then she heard Aurora say, "Because Abel is here; he makes me feel at ease."
Of course, besides that, they had discussed this matter in the morning.
Listening to Aurora, Natsuki Minamiya paused slightly.
She quickly reacted, pondering silently.
Perhaps having Aurora stay at school, by the King's side, would allow for better monitoring of the Fourth Progenitor's movements.
"In that case, Aurora, welcome to school," Natsuki Minamiya said.
Abel watched this scene, a slight smile playing on his lips, finding Aurora quite cute like this.
Of course, it would be even better if she didn't insist on drinking his blood.
"Since you've decided to stay and attend school, you must abide by the school rules."
"Okay, Abel, I will abide by the rules."
Aurora expressed her trust in Abel.
Since Aurora's enrollment was settled, it was now time for his and Natsuki Minamiya's matters.
"Aurora, could you please step out for a moment?"
Abel said to Aurora with a smile, then looked at Natsuki Minamiya and continued, "She and I have something to discuss."
Aurora nodded after hearing him, "I understand."
After saying that, Aurora obediently left the office.
After Aurora left, only Abel and Natsuki Minamiya remained in the room.
Now it was time for their private matters.
The scene was silent for a moment.
Finally, Natsuki Minamiya spoke first: "May I ask what business Your Majesty has with this humble one?"
Abel stretched and said with a smile, "Of course I have business."
As he spoke, a white light flashed in his hand, and then a parchment scroll appeared.
That's right, this was Natsuki Minamiya's soul contract with a certain demon.
The moment the parchment scroll appeared.
Natsuki Minamiya's calm eyes showed a slight ripple.
This... this was her soul contract.
Perceiving it was one thing, but seeing it with her own eyes, Natsuki Minamiya was still moved.
She looked at the scroll, then at Abel.
Natsuki Minamiya took a deep breath, trying to remain composed: "Your Majesty, you've brought out this soul contract, are you trying to..."
Abel raised the scroll in his hand, a smile on his lips, "Of course, it's for a transaction."
"A transaction?"
"Exactly, a transaction."
As he spoke, Abel tucked the scroll back into his spatial dimension and continued, "However, this transaction should be discussed by your true body, not... a magic clone."
Saying that, Abel stood up, walked over to Natsuki Minamiya, knelt down, and pinched her cheek.
The texture was nice.
Feeling the touch on her face, Natsuki Minamiya was slightly startled but didn't react.
After all, her lifeline was in his hands.
Similarly, Natsuki Minamiya's expression was somewhat complex.
Was she going to make another deal with a demon?
Last time, she offered her soul, and now her true body was in the Prison Barrier, sleeping in another dimension.
And now...
Natsuki Minamiya looked at Abel, a hint of wariness in her eyes.
Abel smiled at Natsuki Minamiya and said, "You can believe, or you can not believe; I respect your choice."
Listening to Abel's words, Natsuki Minamiya took a deep breath, her eyes filled with helplessness, as her soul was still in his hands.
She couldn't stop him from doing whatever he wanted.
As for how he knew it was a magic clone.
Please, a demon's magical perception was not to be underestimated.
Natsuki Minamiya was silent for a moment, looking at the demon king Abel before her, then said, "Let's go."
Abel's lips curved into a smile, and he stood up straight.
Natsuki Minamiya softly chanted a spell, and a five-pointed star array appeared beneath their feet.
With a flash of light, the two arrived together in a mysterious alternate dimension.
Faint mist permeated the air here, and the surroundings were indistinct.
In the mist, a massive Prison Barrier faintly emerged, and at the gate, on a red chair, a larger Natsuki Minamiya sat with her eyes closed.
Abel watched this scene with interest.
The one before him was not the true body either.
After all, due to the contract, the true body was still around eleven or twelve years old.
Abel smiled, then snapped his fingers.
The space before them shattered.
The originally larger Natsuki Minamiya broke apart, and a person identical to the magic clone sat on the chair.
Natsuki Minamiya gained new insight into Abel, then sighed helplessly.
Immediately after, the clone disappeared.
The Natsuki Minamiya on the chair slowly opened her eyes.
She jumped off the chair and came before Abel, looking directly at him.
"Tell me, what kind of transaction do you want?"
Abel looked at Natsuki Minamiya, his arms crossed, and said unhurriedly, "It's simple: become a demon, become my person, become my familiar and my property."
Natsuki Minamiya's eyes flashed with shock after hearing him, but she quickly regained her composure.
"Become a demon, become your familiar and property? This is no small matter; I need to consider it."
She stared intently at Abel, trying to read his intentions from his expression.
Abel continued to smile, "There's plenty of time, but not much. The soul contract is in my hands; you have no choice."
Listening to Abel's words, Natsuki Minamiya fell silent.
Meanwhile, Abel surveyed the barrier prison before him, this prison that confined demons and other races.
The Underworld had already moved towards peaceful development.
So... this barrier could be dismantled.
Of course, Natsuki Minamiya was unaware of these tidings.
After a while, Abel pinched Natsuki Minamiya's small face and said with a smile, "Nayue-chan, you wouldn't want to spend your entire life in this barrier, would you?"
