Lawrend Horiel is a red-haired teenager who lives in the wealthiest merchant family in Lanika City
One day his father left, he said that Lawrend shouldn't think about getting any maids, and that he would be back after six months.
The night when his father left, an assassin named "Aleshia" visited him.
She was a beautiful and professional young woman at the age of 18. She was known to take assassin jobs that the other assassins in Lanika City would not take.
As a result, she landed the mission to assassinate Lawrend, the son of the wealthiest merchant in the city.
She tried to kill Lawrend, but he offered to bribe her. Because of her need for money, she accepted it.
But when she left after getting the money, she dropped her pendant. It contained the picture of her little sister that Lawrend promptly used to his advantage.
With the picture in hand, Lawrend set a bounty that would greatly anger Aleshia. He put a bounty to capture her little sister.
Because of this, Aleshia visited Lawrend again. This time, he was ready.
He immediately offered her a deal. She would escort him on his dangerous journey, and he would remove the bounty on her little sister.
Aleshia didn't think that was enough. To further convince her, Lawrend promised her to save her little sister.
In the end, Aleshia agreed and she became his first maid. The two then set on a journey to Sheron Port City.
Throughout the journey, Lawrend kept acting naive. This made Aleshia speculate that he was doing it in purpose.
In this time, Lawrend adopted a pet slime named "Allen". He was bouncy and liked to eat grass.
Adopting Allen further infuriated Aleshia.
Since he wanted to buy a Beginner Mage Spell, Aleshia led him to a black market. It was an illegal establishment that only lasts for a year and caught visitors are jailed by the kingdom.
Taking advantage of this fact, she forced him to sign a blood contract that would be in her favor. If he didn't sign it, she would report to the kingdom that he visited a Black Market.
With no other choice, Lawrend signed the blood contract. In the terms of the contract, he would help save Aleshia's little sister after their journey, provide them their own house, and he was forbidden from touching Aleshia's body.
If he violated any of these terms, he would die by bleeding to death in all of his orifices.
After that, Lawrend was pretty bumped throughout the journey. He felt stupid and annoyed that she tricked him.
He opened the Beginner Mage Spell "Shock Arc" he bought from the Black Market and practiced it. Its great power baffled and scared Aleshia, so she didn't annoy him that much.
Then the two of them encountered a group of goblins that ambushed them. In this fight, Lawrend wasn't able to fight against the goblins as there were too many.
Aleshia knew that she also couldn't fight against them head on as she was just an assassin. She teamed up with Lawrend and she used her assassin techniques to incapacitate the goblins.
After that, they piled the goblins on a pile, and Lawrend used his Shock Arc on them.
The Shock Arc was a very powerful single target spell. It created a powerful purple arc of lightning that burst the bodies of the goblins and created a shower of blood and gore.
The falling body parts reminded Lawrend of human children and realizing that he took a life, he went berserk and broke down before falling unconscious.
