Ice Princess Fell for Dekan at First Sight

Ice Princess's emotions are currently extremely complex.

Several conflicting emotions were roughly mixed together, leaving her completely unsure of how she was feeling.

Although she is currently maintaining her suppression of the Devil King of Ruin on instinct.

But her brain is completely shut down right now.

Dekan temporarily left Isabel behind, letting her face reality.

There will be plenty of time to educate and correct the behavior of bad women later.

Now, Dekan wants to settle things with Ice Princess first.

After all, he was quite angry that morning.

He also had to work overtime because of Ice Princess.

Dekan hates working overtime, especially when he's traveling or working on holidays.

Dekan walked to the opposite side of Ice Princess and waved his hand in front of her eyes:

"Miss Artemis, are you thinking about me?"

Ice Princess's gaze gradually focused on Dekan, and it became somewhat mournful.

Why did you lie to me like that?

Ice Princess's voice choked with sobs.

"Oh."

Dekan sneered, turned to his right and said to the air, "Ice Princess, I have..."

The conversation ended abruptly there.

Then, Dekan immediately took a step to the right, looked to the left, and said coldly with a stern face, "Get out."

He even deliberately imitated the tone of the Ice Princess.

Then he stood back on the left, looking somewhat worried, and said, "The Resurrection Church is trying to capture you."

"Get out." (Cool)

Dekan, in front of Ice Princess, played both roles and performed for her what had happened that morning at the Tristin Magic Academy.

"Waaah..."

Ice Princess's eyes began to redden again.

She has already discovered it.

Dekan's earlier act of feigning enslavement to trick her into tears, and his current merciless Taunt, are all retaliation for her foolish behavior this morning.

Despite how awful Dekan's behavior was, she couldn't bring herself to hate Dekan.

She had never met such a wicked good person.

She couldn't quite sort out her emotions.

Regardless, after seeing that Dekan was safe and sound, the strongest feeling she could be sure of was relief.

"So tell me, whether it's compensation or repayment, how are you going to take responsibility for your actions?"

Dekan didn't bother teasing her any longer and got straight to the point.

"I owe you a huge favor, and I'll do anything you ask to repay it."

Ice Princess sniffed, her gaze firm and composed as she spoke.

"Anything? You won't regret it?"

"I always keep my promises."

Ice Princess's answer surprised Dekan slightly.

Such a promise, coming from an eighth-tier master Card Crafter, carries significant meaning.

It can drive countless powerful and wealthy people crazy.

Its value cannot be measured in numbers.

"Before that, I'd like to ask you a question. Why were you so rude to me back then?"

Dekan doesn't like to take advantage of good people, nor does he like to take advantage of honest people.

He would decide how to make Ice Princess her promise based on her answer.

"I... am shy around strangers..."

Ice Princess stammered out those words.

She would never have said such a shameful thing.

However, it seems that he, Dekan, and Croix had just gone through a life-or-death battle.

We've gotten to know each other better, so I don't feel as resistant towards them anymore.

"Well."

Dekan was somewhat stunned.

He then clutched his head and leaned back in disappointment.

His expression seemed to say: How could this be?

He gathered his thoughts for a moment, then looked at Croix:

"Croix, do you have the contract you mentioned with you?"

Croix nodded, took a document and a pen from the inside pocket of his jacket, and handed them to Dekan.

Dekan turned to a page in the document, presented it to Ice Princess, and then handed her a pen.

"Sign it, and we'll be even."

"Good."

Ice Princess barely managed to remove her right hand from the Chain Staff, grabbed the pen, and signed her name on the document without any hesitation.

"Aren't you going to read what kind of contract it is before signing it?"

Dekan seemed somewhat surprised by Ice Princess's decisiveness.

Ice Princess shook her head:

"You saved my life, so I'll do whatever it takes to make cards for you, no matter how long."

Dekan: "No, it seems you haven't..."

Ice Princess: "I always keep my word. Even if you treat me like a tool, I have no regrets since I signed the contract."

She didn't need to look to know that this was simply a card production agreement.

Since she wanted to repay the kindness, she wouldn't object to the timeliness or the amount of work involved.

Dekan: "..."

"Alright then."

Dekan nodded.

"Furthermore, we are a legitimate and ethical company. We haven't even set the penalty for breach of contract very high. With your financial resources, paying the penalty would be a piece of cake. After all, for someone as important as you, whether you choose to abide by the contract is your choice, and we cannot bind you with a piece of paper."

Ice Princess: "Please rest assured, I will never break my promise until the deadline."

Upon hearing Ice Princess's reply, Dekan nodded with great satisfaction and gave Ice Princess a bright smile.

"Miss Artemis, we are very happy that you have joined our Idol Agency. From now on, I will be your manager. Congratulations on your official debut."

Ice Princess: "????"

"What is an idol? And what's with this contract?!"

Ice Princess had already realized that something was wrong.

"You need to sing and dance, complete the company's plans, and bring smiles to thousands of fans."

Dekan replied with a smile.

"No! Impossible, I can't do it!"

Ice Princess screamed in alarm.

Although she heard utterly absurd things from Dekan.

You want an eighth-tier master Card Crafter to sing and dance?

Moreover, if you asked someone with social anxiety like her to sing and dance in front of countless people, she would faint on the spot!

"So you want to break the contract?"

Dekan's expression betrayed his disappointment. He looked away from the Ice Princess and sighed deeply.

"No... I won't break my promise... but please, can I do something besides singing and dancing? I can make cards for you, give you Gold Coin, and even cook for you."

Ice Princess pleaded, her voice trembling with tears.

"I wanted you to contribute to love, peace, and art, but all you wanted to do was settle things with money. It's disheartening."

Dekan still looked very disappointed with Ice Princess.

It seems that the disappointment with her has escalated to a broader level.

Looking at Dekan's disdainful expression and recalling her earlier solemn promise, Ice Princess felt dizzy, and her vision gradually blurred again.

"... Waaaaah."
