Ayen also hummed, indicating his agreement. He watched as Devion's face became serious and a red hue flickered in his eyes. He cupped Ayen's and Aegi's joined hands together.
He did not know what the principles of the contract were, and Ayen could not sense or feel anything. Ayen watched closely, despite having no idea of what Devion was doing or anything.
As he said, he trusted them enough now that they would not harm him.
Seconds, then a minute, had passed. Suddenly, Ayen almost flinched and pulled his hand away when something came out at the back of his hand.
Looking closely, it was a drop of blood. It moved and circled in midair. Ayen's mouth parted slightly. He wondered how Devion did it when he did not feel any pain, and there was no wound either.
Ayen glanced at Devion's face, and he still had that solemn expression, and his gaze was almost blank.
"Ah!" Aegi exclaimed, blinking in surprise. Ayen turned to him and saw that a drop of blood floated in midair.
