Leon's True Identity

After a moment of silence, Lia spoke in a calm voice, "Because it seems interesting."

Leo raised an eyebrow after hearing her puzzling words.

"Interesting? Risking your life is interesting?" he asked in a baffled voice.

She silently nodded.

"Also, I trust you, so I don't mind it."

Leo swallowed nervously, and he sighed inwardly, 'Her head is more messed up than I initially thought…'

Sometime later, Leo handed the slave mark back to Lia and spoke, "I'm not going to enslave you. That seems too wrong and immoral for me."

Lia looked at the slave mark but did not accept it back.

"If you don't put a slave mark on me, will I truly be yours?" She suddenly asked.

"Huh?"

"I was defeated by you, and I promised to become yours if I lost. If you put a slave mark on me, then I will physically and spiritually be yours."

"You don't need to take that bet so seriously… You can just consider yourself mine. There's no need to do something like this."
