Chapter 141: Dekan's Whispers

Soon, Croix retrieved a spare contract from his bedroom upstairs, where he stored his luggage, and handed it to Dekan.

"Sign it, and we'll be even," Dekan said as he handed the contract and a pen to Judith.

He felt like this dialogue and action had already occurred twice today. Originally, when the three of them came to Tristin City, Dekan and the others planned to scout for talents in their leisure time. They wanted to see if there were naturally talented beauties on the streets of Tristin City that they could discover.

Unexpectedly, on the very same day, they found two powerful girls. Judith possessed a heroic aura while exuding a delicate appearance. Her noble temperament as the Holy Knight Commander was beyond reproach. Moreover, she could provide something that the energetic Flora and the pure "girl" Ice Princess lacked—being the team's sexy presence!

A blonde female knight always had an indescribable charm. Combined with Judith's absolute strength, whether it was a long live performance or high-intensity dance practice, she had no problem. She was truly a natural at being alluring.

Judith took the contract and decided to inspect it closely. If there were no major issues, she would sign it. She didn't want to owe such a big favor for too long.

However, as Judith flipped through the contract, her brows furrowed more and more.

"Idol? Planning groundworks? Did you grab the wrong contract?" she asked.

"No, no, no. I just hope you can become an idol. Sing, dance, and perform, let everyone see your cute side," Dekan replied.

"Are you kidding me?! I am the Holy Knight of the Goddess! How could I become an opera actor?" Judith exclaimed.

"This is a new way of spreading faith, and it can also let everyone feel the love of the Goddess," Dekan explained.

"Impossible! The church won't allow me to do such things!"

"You were seriously injured in the battle with Evans and temporarily unable to continue as the Holy Knight Commander. Transitioning to a civilian role is reasonable."

"That is not the true situation!" Judith declared firmly.

"Huh? I was planning to add to the report, 'In the process of killing Evans, Holy Knight Commander Judith risked her life, dealt a crucial blow to Evans that made the final blow possible.' If that is not true, I won't write it like that," Dekan shook his head, his eyes filled with regret.

Judith seemed to suddenly realize something. Hesitating, she mumbled, "Ah no! Actually, that's more... authentic. I recommend you add that section..."

"Then it's decided. Sign the contract quickly; you've already achieved success. It's time to consider the next stage of your life."

"No! Absolutely not. I'm already thir... thirty... How can I sing and dance like a girl?"

"It's fine; there's someone over two hundred years old who hasn't said anything. What are you worried about? You look like a pretty girl, your voice sounds like a pretty girl, so you are a pretty girl."

"Over two hundred years old?"

Judith obviously noticed the crucial point.

"You made Ice Princess an idol?"

"Yeah, she has joined our agency. There's nothing to be embarrassed about a tier 8 Idol."

"How... could this happen?!"

Judith couldn't believe it and covered her forehead, swaying slightly.

She felt that everything since coming to Tristin City today was too surreal. Was there something wrong with the world?

Just as Judith was in a daze, Dekan asked again, "Miss Judith, did you not swear upon the gods?"

"Spreading love and peace to everyone, coupled with our company being legal and compliant; it's neither against the law nor against morals."

"Or do you want to violate your oath to the Goddess?"

"I believe you wouldn't want her to be ashamed of you, no?"

Dekan approached with a smirk, speaking by her side.

"I... I..."

Judith felt like she had been tricked by Dekan. Should she refuse to sign, she would feel guilty. But she also knew clearly that signing this contract meant the end of her life in a certain sense.

"This is a punishment from the gods."

"It is also a trial from the gods."

"Most importantly, a responsibility from the gods."

"Acknowledge it."

"Accept it."

"Let the gods see your calmness and loyalty."

"Go embrace a new life."

"You are the luckiest girl favored by the Goddess..."

Dekan's voice seemed to linger around her ears like a demonic whisper.

"I... I..."

Judith's brain seemed to be on the verge of burning out. She was operating with a heavy load, rendering her computing memories insufficient.

However, Dekan had just noticed that Judith's emotional fluctuations seemed most significant during the last few sentences. Could it be that she had always secretly wanted to become popular?

Is this the dilemma of an older pretty girl? Because of her high status, her overly serious profession, and overwhelming strength, she can't even find a boyfriend? Dekan seemed to know how to persuade her.

"You will become very popular, no longer admired as the Holy Knight Commander but loved by thousands and thousands as a cute girl... This opportunity to take a step forward may be the only one in your lifetime."

When Dekan said this last sentence, he clearly felt that Judith's thoughts were a bit chaotic. It seemed like he guessed right. So, Dekan secretly used the extremely narrow range of the [Rampant Desires] to affect Judith.

"Ah, I got it. I'll be an idol!"

Judith gritted her teeth and fiercely took the pen, signing her name on the contract.

"Let's make it clear; this is only for the Goddess, for faith, to repay your favor, and to express my apologies!" While handing back the contract, Judith declared.

"As a loyal servant to the Gods, you likely wouldn't breach the contract, even if you can afford the penalty, right?" Dekan asked with a smile on his face as he received the contract.

"I will not! You can trust my loyalty to the gods!"

"Great, then our Rejoice Group's idol group is officially formed today."

Dekan nodded satisfactorily. Not only did he gain a clear mind, but he also got a very nice employee. Tonight, he could sleep soundly. A fulfilling day! Working, studying, and living all require diligent efforts.

Dekan suddenly thought of another issue. If the two new members were to gather in the royal capital later for dance practice and record their first MV, it might scare Flora. Oh, no. That idiot might not even recognize her two partners as Ice Princess and the Holy Knight Commander.

Dekan was starting to look forward to the meeting between the truant Peter Pan and the two new members.
