    Princess Cassandra finally realized something after looking at Leo''s mischievous smile, "You... you n this all along!"


    "What n?" Leo smiled while acting innocently. Ha! who in their right mind would even tell the truth that it was all part of their n!


    Indeed, Leo had made such a n the moment he saw the unconscious princess Cassandra. But it was just a thought that passed by his mind for a second. It was really out of his expectations that he can really use such a n. He didn''t dare even thought of really making it happen. If he didn''t hear her situation, then his n would have never even taken ce at this moment.


    But again, Leo''s n has its pros and cons.


    The moment that Madam Silva heard about the Blood Contract, she smiled and also proposed the same n to princess Cassandra, "The Sword and Magic will also ept you if you sign a Blood Contract with me."


    However, Princess Cassandra shook her head in response to Madam Silva''s offer. Though she was a bit foolish awhile ago, she was called the strongest of the Crimson Rose Kingdom for a reason. The strongest doesn''t only describe a person''s strength, after all, but also their wisdom. And she was called the strongest because of her wisdom.


    If princess Cassandra chooses Sword and Magic, then she would bepeting with a lot more people with the resources since the organization doesn''t only have her as a Mage. But if she chooses Leo, then she will only be sharing resources with Leo. Though the resources won''t be the same as Sword and Magic, but her freedom though wouldn''t be threatenedpare to Sword and Magic.


    Choosing Sword and Magic, princess Cassandra would be the organization''s tool at their disposal. But, choosing Leo, she might not really be a tool. As long as a chance is possible, she would naturally choose it. She might have been foolish before, but that was only because she was desperate and she thought that she could fool Leo with her beautiful looks.


    Well, everyone who has a devilishly beautiful face and body like princess Cassandra would also think of the same thing, using their beauty to their advantage. Unexpectedly, Leo wasn''t someone that falls on such traps easily.


    Leo''s thoughts were simple, "She''s a princess and I''m just an ordinary Noble. She has a Kingdom and I have a town, hence the moment she gets stronger to the extent that she can take back her Kingdom back from those people, then she will also obviously be able to threaten me to stop our cooperation. If that day indeedes, I will be helpless to do anything since I''m weak and she''s strong. Though I would still be able to get some benefits, but it would be nothingpared to her bing my ve."


    By making her a ve, Leo would not only be getting a princess ve or a beautiful woman to potentially be his wife, but also a Kingdom. It was all worth the investment!


    However, it was not only Leo who thought of such a n, but also Madam Silva.


    Madam Silva was the Head of the Silver Kingdom branch of Sword and Magic, after all. Obviously, she was put into that position since she possesses the capability.


    That was why Leo became unable to agree or disagree with princess Cassandra''s choice of signing a Blood Contract with him. He was afraid that the moment that he agrees with her, Madam Silva would dispose of him within the next hour.


    After all, Leo still values his life more than anything. What''s the use of possibly getting a kingdom if he''s dead! He was waiting for Madam Silva to talk before giving his final answer.


    Naturally, Madam Silva also understood Leo''s thoughts.


    "It''s your life, so your choice." Madam Silva said before turning to look at Leo, "But I also want to get some benefits!"


    Leo breathed a sigh of relief as he said, "What kind of benefit could I offer to the kind Madam Silva?"


    Madam Silva smiled, hearing him calling her kind. She was indeed kind, but she was also cruel if ever her personal or the Sword and Magic benefits is threatened.


    "You!" Madam Silva pointed her finger towards Leo while wearing a smirk on her face.


    Leo can''t help blinking his eyes many times. He was taken aback immediately after hearing what Madam Silva had said. He didn''t anticipate this situation at all. Is this perhaps what they call ''If I can''t get the ve, then I would make the master the ve'' or something?


    Leo became stuck in a dilemma, "What a troublesome thing!"


    "I''m sorry, Madam Silva, but I cannot offer myself in exchange for her." Though being stuck in a dilemma, Leo was still able to choose a thoughtful answer.


    "No? Do you really want to disagree with my proposal without even hearing its content?" Madam Silva replied, sping her hand as if telling him that she was serious.


    "Since Madam Silva had put it that way, then I would like to hear the contents of your proposal." Leo agreed to listen to the content of her proposal. Maybe her demand isn''t that unreasonable, right?


    "My proposal is simple, I''ll help you both enroll at a Mage Academy, hence getting more resources for getting stronger as a Mage. But, in exchange, I want you to help me if ever I need one. Of course, it''s up to you whether you feel like epting my call for help or not." Madam Silva exined.


    This was Madam Silva''s thoughts after princess Cassandra disagree with her proposal. In fact, she was even d that princess Cassandra didn''t agree with her proposal. Because she had unexpectedly given herself the chance to propose a much more advantageous n to Leo.


    Madam Silva''s mind was telling her right now that she should rather invest in Leo, simply because of the feeling that keeps on telling her that he would be capable of doing big things in the near future, hence her investment in him would be more worth itpared to princess Cassandra.


    ''He was already capable of making a n to get a possible Kingdom at his age!'' Madam Silva can''t help but imagine what Leo would possibly be able to get on his hands in the near future. Considering the possibility that he can sessfully get the Crimson Rose Kingdom in his hand. Then, his help would really be helpful for her in the future.


    Hearing the content, Leo, without any hesitation, nodded his head in response. Though he doesn''t know what Madam Silva ns to do in the future that might require his help, but since such a deal was to his advantage, he would naturally dly agree to it. Helping her would also mean that he can establish a rtionship with the branch of Sword and Magic in the Silver Kingdom, hence getting himself a powerful backer. Not only that, he was the one to decide whether he will help her or not, hence his life would never be in danger at all.


    Not to mention getting enrolled at a Mage Academy. Even the weakest of the Mage Academy in Silver Kingdom would be able to provide Leo more help than his meager 10,000 gold coins at this moment. Ha! Even a blind person could see clearly that Madam Silva''s proposal was a path made out of gold.


    What was a Mage Academy? Just like what its name suggested, it''s an Academy for the Mages. Being able to enroll and bing an official student in a Mage Academy was the number one goal of all the Mages in the Celestial World.


    Throughout the entire Celestial World, a Mage Academy could be found. Human race or Foreign race, a Mage Academy was a must have for every race.


    A Mage might be a powerful person, but every race in the Celestial World was aware that they needed a ce to cultivate these Mages in order for them to make the Mages powerful.


    Let''s put it this way. A Mage was a product and a Mage Academy was the factory. Since a Mage was an in-demand product use by every race on the battlefield of the War of Races, all the businesses naturally need plentiful of this factory called Mage Academy to produce such stuff.


    It''s already a given that the affinity of bing a Mage doesn''t really mean that a person can automatically be a Mage at that exact moment they learned of their affinity and hereby bing powerful, too. Every Mage naturally needs tons of resources to be one. A Mage Academy was the ce where they can get the tons of resources they needed. So, being enrolled and bing an official student in a Mage Academy had be the number one goal of all the Mages.


    Even though Leo has just learned of his affinity of bing a Mage for less than a day. He was still aware of just how important a Mage Academy was for the Mages. He had even considered of just investing all of his 10,000 gold coins to princess Cassandra after hearing such a proposal from Madam Silva.


    But of course, Leo wasn''t really nning on really investing everything in princess Cassandra. But, he might consider investing more than half of his ie or a bit of his city tax to her, since he would be enrolling in a Mage Academy anyway, hence getting more resources easily.


    After hearing such a deal, even princess Cassandra was tempted to think of not signing a Blood Contract with Leo anymore. But of course, she just shook her head at such an idea. She was naturally aware that Madam Silva won''t allow her to be enrolled in a Mage Academy if she doesn''t sign a Blood Contract with Leo.


    Who in their right mind would even be stupid enough to invest in something with a less return when they are given the chance to invest in something with a huge return investment that also has the same percentage of chance to the less return? Moreover, this huge return investment could even get just by investing a little amount of moneypared to the less return investment.


    Even princess Cassandra was aware in her mind that even if the Sword and Magic would help her take back her Kingdom, they would still gain less and lost more. Not only that, after taking the Kingdom, its strength wouldn''t be the same as before, hence they need to invest more money again to build it back again to its former glory.


    In short, the loss outweighs the gain. It''s not worth the investment!


    Madam Silva would rather choose to make Leo invest in princess Cassandra, while she on the other hand would invest in Leo, princess Cassandra''s future master.


    If ever Leo fails, then Madam Silva would only lose a meager amount of gold coins and resources. But if he could be sessful in the near future, then Sword and Magic would surely have a powerful ally.


    In short, it''s worth every gold and resources that was invested! It''s even like betting in a lotto knowing already that the number would win in the end. Though it''s a bit exaggerated, it was indeed a win-win situation.


    So, at this moment, princess Cassandra could only ept her fate and be a ve to Leo, full of unwillingness and reluctance.
