The Legend Buried by Time
"Then why would I force a magical contract on you?"
The room became quiet.
That... actually made sense.
Natalia pointed toward everyone.
"The information we're discussing isn't some forbidden secret. It's simply difficult for ordinary people to obtain."
Ruby sighed.
"She's right."
Natalia nodded proudly.
"By agreeing in front of us and each other, you've already made your promise."

Everyone blinked.
"We can't casually create divine contracts. Those require enormous mana, divine authority, resources, and approval from higher temple authorities."
Ruby nodded.
"People really overestimate what holy maidens can do."
Natalia leaned back comfortably.
"What we can do is trust."
Her gaze swept across the room.
"And remember."
Something about the way she said it made Brinda sit up straighter.
Videl exchanged a glance with Eon.
