Winalene stood in the center along with Romeo and Theraclede…although the other two weren’t exactly standing. No, they were lying on an altar in the middle of the stage in a clearly sacrificial posture. Was she really going to go through with it?

“Woof!” Jet landed on the stage on Fran’s signal.

Thick magic surged around us. The ritual was already underway. Were we too late?

“Winalene!”

“Ah…Fran. You’re here.”

“What are you doing?”

“Sealing the beast. Do not interfere.”

Theraclede had been cuffed with water manacles. He couldn’t fight back if he wanted to.

Fran narrowed her eyes. “What are you planning to do with Romeo and Theraclede?”

“They are cornerstones of the ritual.”

“You mean sacrifices?”

“That’s right.” Winalene admitted it with a quick and guiltless nod. “It must be done, Fran.”

“But—”

“Wait.” Theraclede, of all people, cut her off. “You don’t have to worry about us.” Unlike Romeo, he was fully conscious.

“What do you mean?”

“I’m the only one who will die. Romeo will live. Did I get that right?”

“Yes. If you take the full brunt of Evil One’s Communion, Romeo’s life will be spared.”

“That’s how it is. It’ll be all right.”

So Theraclede would die in Romeo’s place?

“I thought Romeo would die if Theraclede died?” asked Fran.

“That contract has been nullified. But the bond between them has yet to fade. It can be used to transfer Romeo’s burden to Theraclede.”

A special contract had been formed between Romeo and Theraclede which allowed them to share each other’s pain. That was why Romeo would die if Theraclede died.

Winalene had nullified said contract, but she would reuse the remaining mana connecting them to transfer the damage to Theraclede.

Honestly, even I thought it was a good deal. But a ­certain someone objected to it.

“But…is there a way to spare both their lives?”

“What? You want to save Theraclede?”

“I swore on his life to take Romeo to the Bulbola ­orphanage once they were released from their contract. His life is mine.”

“So?”

“So I can’t have him up and dying without my say. And—”

“And?”

“I feel bad for Romeo if he wakes up and finds Theraclede gone. I’d be sad too if I woke up without Teacher.”

“Is that so?” Winalene muttered. “Will you fight me for it, then?”

She unleashed a fearsome wave of mana. Her bloodlust was enough to kill a grown man.

Cold sweat trickled down Fran’s brow. Regardless, she fixed her gaze on Winalene and didn’t pull away. “I’ll ask you again. Is there a way to spare both Romeo’s and Theraclede’s lives?”

“No.” Winalene answered immediately, maintaining her vicious pressure. She was completely unrelenting, but I knew the truth behind her words.

Fran…she’s lying.

Winalene?

Yeah.

There was a way to spare Romeo’s and Theraclede’s lives.

“Liar.”

“I’m not lying.”

She is.

She was even lying about not lying.

“Tell me how you can save them!”

“There is no way.”

“Lies.”

“…Tsk.” Winalene squinted her eyes. She could tell from Fran’s expression that she had seen through her. “I’m telling you there is nothing. Does my word mean nothing to you?”

Fran didn’t back down. “Tell me.”

“Ugh…” Winalene was clearly agitated. Still, she couldn’t bring herself to eliminate Fran…or maybe she couldn’t attack because she had her hands full with the ritual.
