"Holy... Your Holiness, why... why..." Ward couldn't help but be speechless, or rather, couldn't complete a sentence, to be exact.

Upon hearing her name being called by this person, Alia glanced at him, but the next moment she replied in confusion, "Who are you? Do we know each other?"

Do we know each other?

Know each other?

Huh?

Echoes reverberated in Ward's mind, a throbbing pain he couldn't control.

"Your Holiness, don't you remember me? We had contact during the mage convention half a year ago!" Ward extended his pinky finger, not knowing if it had gone unwashed for half a year.

"At that time, my pinky finger touched the magic emanating from you. Don't you remember?" Ward asked desperately.

"That's crazy. Who remembers such things?" Alia's words struck like a blow, leaving a shadow in Ward's heart.

"Are you her lapdog?" Luo Wei looked at Alia with interest. Indeed, Alia was beautiful and cute, exuding the aura of a saint. It's not unreasonable for some people to dream of her.

"Darling, don't misunderstand. I only like you!" Alia quickly clarified, Luo Wei didn't mean that.

"I guess so. Who would like such a moron?" Ward's heart was shattered, but it was really heartless to say such things in front of him.

"Ward, what are you doing here? Get out!" Ward's father, Lord Voss, suddenly became angry. He didn't expect his son to embarrass him like this as soon as he entered.

"Wait, Count Voss, is this your son?" Luo Wei intercepted him.

"Yes," Voss hesitated. He wasn't sure what Luo Wei wanted to do.

"His name is Ward, is it? Ward, my son, you came at the right time." Luo Wei said.

"Luo Wei..." Ward stared at Luo Wei viciously. In his eyes, Luo Wei was the enemy who had taken away his Holy Lady. He couldn't tolerate it.

This was absolutely unacceptable.

"Count Voss, didn't we say we would play Landlord to settle the bet? We are short by one person, and now it's perfect." Luo Wei said.

"Is the Holy Lady not coming?" Voss asked.

"Alia, as the notary, cannot participate, and besides, she doesn't know how to play cards." Although Luo Wei didn't understand why poker still existed in this otherworldly realm.

"Like this..." Voss wavered. What Luo Wei said made sense, and he wasn't confident about winning against the Holy Lady in a gamble.

It would be much better if it was just Luo Wei.

However, he had a feeling that everything was under Luo Wei's control, which made him uneasy.

"What's wrong, Lord Voss? Are you giving up now? It's fine, then you can give me back my things, the previous bets don't count," Luo Wei taunted, not believing that this greedy man would return them willingly.

"Let me confirm once again. If I win, you will genuinely admit your defeat, right?" Luo Wei asked.

"Of course, otherwise, you can sue me. Alia, prepare the contract," Luo Wei readily agreed.

"Of course, I hope the sincerity is mutual," Alia nodded, using her magic to draft the contract. Although this magical contract didn't compare to a soul contract that could make life and death choices, if someone reneged on it...

It is estimated that not only will the title be lost, but also imprisonment is imminent.

"Alright, sign it."

Luo Wei quickly signed the contract and handed it over to the other party. Voss hesitated, but Ward snatched it and signed it.

"I bet! Luo Wei, don't think I'm afraid of you. I will make you lose miserably in front of the Holy Lady! Holy Lady, just watch closely."

Although Ward said so, Alia didn't even glance at him.

Emphasizing once again.

House does not belong to bootlickers!
