Hearing Guild Leader Loki’s words, Emilia Clarity immediately started to feel panic deep inside of her. There are only two choices left for her to choose from. Either she signs an Oath with Guild Leader Loki or risks losing Eme Clarity, which means doing a favor for everyone. Though there is also the choice of simply giving up in the Survival Games, doing so would mean that the Clarity Noble Household has been eliminated and could no longer fight to become champion, while at the same time also doing everyone a favor as Guild Leader Loki has already mentioned a while ago that they only need to eliminate three players, with Edgar Pierce being the first, and Eben Nero being the second.
In Emilia Clarity’s opinion, regardless of what choice she will choose, the Clarity Noble Household would still end up losing something. Needless to say, she naturally knows that what she should choose now is the choice with the lesser lost. The problem, though, is which choice between the two would result a lesser loss for them?
Emilia Clarity thought of it a while ago while she was waiting for the staff to come; even if she signed an Oath with Guild Leader Loki, there is no telling yet whether he would really not ask something unreasonable. After all, she doesn’t know him that well. If he indeed demands something like that, then the Clarity Noble Household might be able to save Eme Clarity, but in turn, they will risk losing her instead, once she can’t honor the Oath that she has signed with Guild Leader Loki.
Although the Clarity Noble Household would end up losing the chance to become the champion once she chooses to let Eme Clarity give up in the Survival Games, but Emilia Clarity knows clearly well that such a loss is the only loss that they will have to incure, which honestly speaking, isn’t really that much compared to the uncertainty they will have to face once she signs an Oath with Guild Leader Loki. However, that might not be what the Clarity Noble Household wants…
“Damn it! If only Eme had her items with her right now, then things wouldn’t have turned out to be like this! Who on Celestial World was the one that thought of the Survival Games?! I want to ask for an explanation!” Emilia Clarity expressed her displeasure to the game masters who created the mechanics of the Survival Games. After all, she can’t blame Guild Leader Loki anymore as that would cause him to kill Eme Clarity, and neither could she blame the Evergreen royal family as well.
“Tick, tock! Tick, tock! Time is running out for you, Emilia Clarity. Make your choice now before it is too late,” Leo interrupted Emilia Clarity from her thoughts.
All of a sudden, a man’s voice unexpectedly interrupted, “No need to contemplate further, Emilia,”
“Grand… grand protector Lucid…” Emilia Clarity’s voice stuttered, “What… are you doing here? Shouldn’t you supposedly be at the Clarity Fortress right now?”
“No, I have always been following you from the moment your group left the Clarity Fortress. Don’t worry though, Patriarch has agreed, telling me to protect her daughter as she is so rash and might accidentally make a bad decision,” Lucid replied.
“Father…” Emilia muttered while sounding displeased and relieved at the same time. Evidently, the relief part was because she doesn’t have to deal with the problem concerning Guild Leader Loki personally anymore now that Great Protector Lucid is with her.
Emilia Clarity quickly took off the communicator from her ear and passed it to Lucid.
Receiving the communicator, Lucid immediately put it onto his ear and asked, “Young man, I will be the one to sign the Oath with you. Would that be okay?”
“Is your status high enough to make decisions in the Clarity Noble Household? Because if not, then I am sorry, Emilia Clarity would have to sign the Oath with me,” Leo replied. He, in fact, doesn’t have a problem with who he will sign the Oath with as long as they can provide him with what he wants.
“Rest assured, my status in the Clarity Noble Household is even higher than the Patriarch himself,” Lucid said with an assuring tone in his voice.
Shocked, Leo asked, “Is that true, Emilia Clarity? You are not thinking of just grabbing some random person to sign an Oath with me, aren’t you? Because if you are, then I will kill Eme Clarity this very instant!”
Emilia Clarity quickly denies by saying, “I don’t have any reason to lie to you, Guild Leader Loki. As a matter of fact, you can even ask his Highness, Elmont, in your side for confirmation right now,”
Hearing Eme Clarity’s words, Leo quickly turned to look at Elmont and asked, “Brother Elmont, do you happen to know this man with the name Lucid in the Clarity Noble Household?”
Jumping to the rear in order to create a bit of distance from Edgar Pierce, Elmont then replied, “If you are talking about Lucid, who is the Great Protector of the Clarity Noble Household for tens of generations now, then yes, I know him. Are you perhaps talking to him right now?”
“Yes,” Leo nodded his head.
“Then I suggest that you’d be respectful to him. Otherwise, even father won’t be able to guarantee that he can protect you if ever Great Protector Lucid wants to cause trouble to you,” Elmont reminded Leo before clashing with Edgar Pierce once again.
Whoooosh!
Clanggg!
“Indeed! Guild Leader Loki, you should listen to his Highness, Elmont,” Osborne added while bashing Eben Nero’s head to the ground and throwing it in the direction of Emir and Dominic, “Watch out!”
Whoooosh!
Bang!
“Okay,” Leo finally understood that Emilia Clarity wasn’t lying to him. He turned his attention to the communicator again and said, “Then we can proceed,”
“Understood,” Lucid replied.
With that being said, Leo and Lucid quickly proceeded to sign an Oath together at the same time.
There was only a single condition that Leo wanted, which was the Clarity Noble Household would give something beneficial for him or the Mischievous Lion Guild. Thus the signing of the Oath didn’t take that long to finished.
As he was already done with the Clarity Noble Household, Leo then changed the subject to the Light Magic Guild, “How about you, Guild Leader Floyd? Do you want to sign an Oath or not?”
While saying that, Leo slowly pointed his bow towards the direction of Faye, ready to do the same to her as what he had done to Eme Clarity just now in case Guild Leader Floyd repeated the same mistake that Emilia Clarity had made.
“Yes, yes, yes,” Guild Leader Floyd replied hastily. Needless to say, after seeing Guild Leader Loki’s action on the light screen, he naturally doesn’t want to offend him in any sort of way, lest the latter immediately run out of patience and shot Faye’s head without giving him any chance.
