    <span style="font-weight:400">"That contract is the most dangerous and strongest of all of them," Sohma added. That caused Keith to tilt his head.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Seeing his clueless expression, Sohma exined,


    <span style="font-weight:400">"By linking yourself with your familiar''s lifeforce, you strengthen one another. That was what you did with Diana. Once the contract was activated, your lifeforce and mana strengthened hers."


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Wait, if it''s that good, why didn''t you guys use it on her?" Keith tilted his head. He was confused. Cadmus and Sohma clearly had more mana than him. They could easily activate the contract like that.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Cadmus and Sohma scratched their heads, "Of course, we wanted to use that contract to save her. But it''s impossible for us. The two of us would have died."


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Huh?"


    <span style="font-weight:400">Aidiun exined, "The life and death contract is so dangerous due to the initial process. If the familiar doesn''t ept the contractor, thetter will die."


    <span style="font-weight:400">"..."


    <span style="font-weight:400">"You have to have an affinity with contracting with the familiar. Plus, the contract required an absurd amount of mana as well. Not having enough mana will kill you in the process."


    <span style="font-weight:400">"..." There are too many kill words.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Cadmus continued, "That''s why we couldn''t do it. We didn''t have an affinity with contracting spirits."


    <span style="font-weight:400">"People who have an affinity with contracting with spirits are rare," Sohma added.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"I see," Keith nodded.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Cadmus added, "And if I did try to do it, that woman would reject me instantly. She does not like me at all."


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Eh?"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"She''s really arrogant and haughty."


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Indeed, don''t forget about explosive," Sohma nodded.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"..." Keith looked at the two. For them to say the same thing was a rare urrence. And Aidiun was nodding his head as well! But as he was thinking about what happened,


    <span style="font-weight:400">"How rude!"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Hmm?" Keith looked around.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"How can you talk about me behind my back?" Diana suddenly appeared right beside Keith,


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Keith!" "Po!" "Ho!" And with her were Fira, Aria, and Mir. The three jumped onto his body.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Woah!" Keith hugged the three, "Why are you here, Mir?" This was a surprise.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Po!" Mir licked his face.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"I see." I have to thank Miyukiter. Keithughed. Miyuki had sent Mir over to watch over him. As he hugged them, Keith looked up at Diana,


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Hello, Ms.Diana."


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Hello, Master," Diana bowed slightly to Keith.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Eh?"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"What''s the matter?"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Why are you calling me Master?"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Do you not like it? How about King? Prince? You''re my master now," Diana answered. They were in a contract.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Keith waved his hand, "You don''t need to call me master or anything like that. I don''t like it."


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Then what do you want me to call you?"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Call me Keith. You don''t need to do anything else. It would be weird if you called me anything other than that,"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Why?"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"That''s because you''re a beautiful woman. If you call me anything like that, it would look weird,"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Oh, thank you. But I do have one request," Diana asked.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Hmm?"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Please call me Diana. You don''t have to be formal with me,"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Understood, Diana." Keith nodded, but he questioned, "But should you be out like this? Are you alright?"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Yeah," Cadmus and Sohma looked at her in worry.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"It''s fine. When Keith brought me to the garden, the fresh air helped me out," Diana smiled.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"That''s- wait, you know I was the one who brought you out?" Keith questioned.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Of course, I heard everything. You were so thoughtful, unlike a certain dragon, tiger, elf trio." A little sneer was in her voice as she stared at the three.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Cadmus and the two coughed, "How were we supposed to know you were awake? And we had to do something. If we let your magic run rampant, the ind would be destroyed.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Tsk, tsk. You could have sealed me in the coffin and ced me near a garden." Diana shook her head.


    <span style="font-weight:400">But a small chuckle came soon after, "But I''m grateful you guys kept me alive." Even though she was peeved, Cadmus and Sohma did their best to keep her alive.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"No problem," Cadmus smiled.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"What are friends for,"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"By the way, where are you going to stay?" Aidiun questioned.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Of course, I will be staying on Keith''s ind. Even though I''m awake, I still need time before I fully recover." Diana wasn''t at her full strength. It was only a day since she regained movement.


    <span style="font-weight:400">


    <span style="font-weight:400">Diana turned to Keith, "Keith, I''m sorry to ask this of you. But can we keep the life and death contract active until I''m better?" The life and death contract was nourishing her body.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Sure, I don''t mind." Keith smiled.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Diana smiled even brighter, "Thank you so much,"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"..." Cadmus and Sohma stared at her in wonder.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"You should get some rest now," Diana turned to the small animals, "Keep him safe, you three."


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Understood!" "Po!" "Ho!" Like that, Diana pushed the rest out of the room.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"What are you guys staring at?" Diana noticed the three''s stare.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"When did you be so giddy?"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Who are you?"


    <span style="font-weight:400">Diana looked at them strangely, "Do you want to die?"
