"Then please do, Lady Ophelia," Vaan calmly replied, unaffected by her charms.
"My, you're all quite cautious, huh?" Ophelia glanced at Vaan's tensed group before nodding with a smile. "Alright, I don't mind. However, Contract Magic works both ways. If I swear I am not your enemy, your side also has to promise the same for my side."
"Very well, Lady Ophelia. Start the spell," Astoria agreed.
Shortly after, Astoria acted as the representative and entered a contract with the Witch Mother to prove they were both willing to be friendly to each other.
"Alright, you've gained our trust. But only for as long as the contract spell is in effect. Once it loses its effect, you will also lose our trust," Astoria stated.
"Likewise, Lady Astoria," Ophelia calmly replied before saying, "Nevertheless, it's clear that your kingdom has a misconception about Fallen Witches. Not all of us are evil or on the demon's side."
"Aren't you?" Hester glanced at her suspiciously.
