Summary
My fourth regression.
To survive, I had to become independent.
To further my goal, I picked up a man who was woefully tormented and about to die.
I wanted to become an âextraterritorial territoryâ in a world full of villains.
I wanted extraterritoriality rights so power, money, honor, and even the law couldnât reach me.
Thatâs where I wanted to stand.
âWhat exactly are you?â
âI donât knowâyour fate, maybe?â
âWhat?â
âMiraculously appearing and saving you just before death, isnât that fate?â
Ahaak Osvold, the tyrant who would rule with cruelty, proposed an unexpected contract.
âI want to make a friendship contract with you.â
âWhy would you want to be friends with me?â âŠItâs what I thought, but in all honesty, I needed him in order to gain my âautonomous region.â
âDonât regret it later.â
Then, Iâll raise you as an emperor.
But it seems I raised him too well?
Amid the imperial succession competition, Ahaak kissed my hair and said,
âTia, what are you looking at?â
âI mean, tonight⊠Iâll be waiting for you in my chambers, Tia.â
âSince Iâm the only friend in your life, itâs enough.â
âŠWait.
It didnât say anywhere that the friendship contract with the tyrant would be exclusive, right?
