Mila's Plight

Mila POV:

I stared in shock at the young boy in front of me. He had a mana core, something that should have been impossible. As if that wasn't enough, his body seemed to unconsciously absorb mana. What kind of monster was this kid?

"Now now let's get to the business shall we? Let's take the oath. I have more important things to tend to."

I seethed with anger at his dismissive attitude. What could be more important than me?! I needed to teach this brat a lesson.

I put on a fake smile and said, "Ara ara mast~er, you've won! Let's take the oath. I hope you know the recitation?"

"How is it Mila? Are you satisfied?!" He said with a smirk. I don't know if I was mistaken but his eyes had a red glint in them.

I felt my face flush with embarrassment from his words. Before I could say anything, he interrupted me.

He didn't reply but got closer to me step by step. I kept my guard up, watching his every move. He slowly reached for my hand, and as he held it, my heart trembled. No man had ever held my hand before.

' Mila, get your head straight. Your Life depends on this boy now ' I reminded myself, but I couldn't take my eyes off the boy. His gentle, cold eyes made me forget everything.

I was melting under his gaze.

'Why is this boy attractive now? Am I dreaming? If I am, then...' I increased the grip on his hand. "I want to dream more."

He looked at me and smiled, and suddenly, my heart began racing. 'What is happening? Why is my heart beating so fast? No, I can't be falling for a 10-year-old!!? Wait that red glint, could it be a spell?' My thoughts raced, but his words interrupted me.

"Ready?"

"Yes," I replied.

"In the presence of Mana, the powerful witness of all oaths, I, Mila Banther,"

" And I, Lloyd Richmond,"

"Make a pact that shall be bound in blood and magic."

"I, Mila, shall assist Lloyd with anything he wishes, and in return, Lloyd shall aid me in acquiring something I need."

A white light spread around the room, indicating the oath had been established. To check the oath, I said "status."

My status appeared before me, and as I read through it, I couldn't help but feel the urgency. When I got to the oath section, my mind was filled with shock, surprise, hate, anger, and confusion. It didn't take me long to realize that this bastard had tricked me.

I could feel my aura running rampant in the room. I glared at the boy in front of me, who was just smirking under my pressure. Suddenly, I felt a powerful jolt of shock.

"Arghhhhh! You bastard, how dare you trick me?! What kind of sorcery is this?! I'll KILL YOU!!" I took out my daggers and leaped at the boy to rip his throat out.

*ZING

But before I could strike, I was punished by mana for not keeping my oath. Tears started streaming down my face, and I felt helpless.

*TAP TAP

That bastard walked to me and pulled my chin closer and whispered in my ear "Don't worry I'll treat you gently."

"You!! Don't you dare come near me!! " I said, gritting my teeth.

" Don't worry I can't do much with this 10-year old body anyway. And the longer I save, the more tasty you'll be. " His twisted expression made me afraid.

' He's not a human. He's a devil. '

I need to run.

" Don't you dare run. Come here and sit " . My body involuntarily followed his orders.

He patted my thighs and rested his head on my thighs.

And he whispered to himself before closing his eyes

" Thank You Mephisto. I'll keep our promise."
