"Magic Emperor Zakriel?!" Roel exclaimed in astonishment, not expecting to hear something like this.
Magic Emperor Zakriel, a legendary figure from five thousand years ago, was the sole being in the world to reach Mage level 12, also known as the Celestial Lord level Mage!
Why is it referred to as the only being in the world? It's simply because, throughout this entire world, despite variations in level names among different races, their greatest strength doesn't surpass that of humanity's Arcana-level mage.
Whether it was the dragon race, the demon race, the elf race, or any other race, their highest attained power only matched that of an Arcana level mage or level 11.
Even Freya, the current Black Dragon Lord and leader of the Black Dragon clan, had already been confirmed to possess power on par with that of an Arcana Mage.
Of course, even though her level may be equivalent to that of an Arcana Mage, Freya, being a dragon, possesses extraordinary mana capacity, magical power, physique, and various other aspects that far surpass the average Arcana Mage of mankind.
Therefore, when Freya revealed that Magic Emperor Zakriel had a wife from the dragon race and had even formed an absolute contract with her, it left him deeply astonished.
After all, this information had never been mentioned in history or recorded in ancient literature.
'What a revelation! If this news were to spread, wouldn't it cause a tremendous shock?' Roel took a deep breath, smiling faintly at the thought.
He trusted Freya's words implicitly; there was no reason for her to deceive him about this.
Moreover, considering the dragon race's history being more distant from mankind's and more comprehensive, it was highly probable.
Observing Roel's surprise, Freya chuckled softly, her gaze gentle as she looked at the two white-colored soul orbs.
"The incident involving Magic Emperor Zakriel and my ancestors occurred five thousand years ago and hasn't recurred since. However, now, a similar occurrence is unfolding before us..." Freya spoke softly, pausing for a moment before directing her gaze towards Roel.
"Roel, do you understand what that implies?" she continued, posing a question.
Upon hearing this, Roel grasped immediately what Freya intended to convey.
In his previous life, he had witnessed a romantic drama where the heroine posed a similar question to the main character.
He vividly recalled how the main character, naive and oblivious, failed to comprehend the heroine's inquiry.
This misunderstanding then catalyzed the ensuing romantic scene, prompting him, at that moment, to entertain thoughts of destroying his television.
Therefore, aware that Freya seemed to be following the same script as the romantic drama from his previous life, he decided to feign innocence and play along!
With a quick motion, Roel shook his head and adopted a skeptical expression.
"I'm not sure, Freya. Could you enlighten me?" He responded, feigning confusion.
Roel's response elicited a beautiful smile to blossom on Freya's lips.
With graceful strides, she approached Roel and came to a halt directly in front of him.
She lifted her face, gazing affectionately at Roel.
Behind her, the two white soul orbs trailed along, circling around both Roel and Freya, creating an uncomfortable atmosphere that left Roel feeling unsettled.
"Freya, what's happening—" Before Roel could finish his sentence, Freya abruptly enveloped him in a tight hug.
"Roel, just because of this incident, doesn't it mean that our future relationship will mirror the beautiful and loving one between Magic Emperor Zakriel and my ancestors as recorded in the history of my dragon race?" Freya's tender words momentarily caught Roel off guard.
His face flushed slightly, and his heart raced.
While he confessed to often indulging in love movies and fantasy-romantic novels in his previous life, he lacked firsthand experience in matters of love.
His previous calm demeanor was a facade to evade being manipulated by Freya in every situation.
However, in the present moment, he had to admit that his face felt flushed and his heart was racing.
Fortunately, Freya had him wrapped in an embrace that shielded his flushed face from her view.
"Cough! You're absolutely right, Freya. These signs do suggest that our future tales might echo theirs." Roel feigned a cough and concurred with her words, despite his uncertainty about whether their future would truly unfold as Freya envisioned.
He could only cling to the hope that it would manifest.
Freya giggled at Roel's response, embracing him for a few moments before gently releasing him.
"Alright, Roel. Since it's already late, I'll return your soul orb immediately. Our absolute contract is now complete." With those words, Freya focused on Roel's soul orb, guiding it back into his body.
As Roel watched his soul orb re-enter his body, he experienced a profoundly new sensation, feeling an unusually intimate connection with Freya.
Similarly, Freya also guided her soul orb back into her body and experienced the same sensation as Roel.
The two gazed into each other's eyes, experiencing a dramatic surge in their mutual affection, particularly pronounced for Roel, who felt the impact most intensely.
Initially, Roel's feelings for Freya hadn't reached a significant level, as he aimed to nurture them gradually.
However, after his soul orb re-entered his body, he felt that his affection for Freya had unconsciously increased dramatically!
'Is this the power of the absolute contract? It's incredible!' Roel praised silently.
Turning his gaze toward Freya, he suddenly noticed her expression had become rather peculiar.
"Um, Freya? Are you alright?" Roel asked, his worry tinged with fear of potential unknown side effects from the absolute contract.
Upon hearing Roel's question, Freya smiled mysteriously, her red eyes displaying a subtle fluctuation.
"I'm fine; it's just that I'm overjoyed that my dream can finally come true," she replied cryptically, leaving Roel somewhat perplexed.
Your dream? What do you mean—" Before he could finish his sentence, Freya swiftly pushed him down, sending him tumbling.
Freya then straddled his body, a slightly lopsided smile gracing her lips as she charmingly licked her lips.
"I mean... I've been longing to taste you, my dear Roel~"
