"Honorable sir, your companion has returned safely, what a joyous occasion. How could the illusions of the Rainbow House withstand your divine power?" Slaikum, eager to make Angel believe it had truly pledged allegiance, seized every opportunity to flatter and praise.
Angel: "This is just a trivial matter, is there anything to be joyous about? Or is it that deep down, you hope this small matter would turn into a big one? Hmm… preferably, none should return?"
Slaikum frantically shook its snake head: "How could that be? Absolutely impossible, I have never thought that way. I'm about to become your most loyal servant, naturally hoping everything is safe and sound."
Angel: "Is that so?"
With that, a parchment scroll emitting a faint glow appeared in Angel's hand.
"No need for 'about to', you can become my servant now if you sign this contract."
