Chapter 1141 – Uncivilized
Lux smiled. "Neither do you."
The formation pulsed beneath their feet.
Once.
Twice.

[Contract Established]
[Type: Sovereign Accord]
[Parties: Lux Vaelthorn / Lilith]
[Authority: Equal]
[Mutual Betrayal: Prohibited]
[Contract Status: Binding]
[Authority Recognition: Ancient Demon's Equal]

And now, through their contract, Lux stood beside her as an equal.
That was the maximum such an agreement could grant him across their difference in status.
And it was more than enough.
His Greed went silent.
