I handed her my blood as I waited for what she wanted to do with it, especially this ritual thing and what she meant by familiar
Even though I really don't want her to be fixed on that stupid bet because I myself didn't take that bet seriously
after losing I didn't think that she herself would take the initiative to talk about the bet and submit herself to me but a slave is the last thing I wanted
But she was persistent, maybe she is because of pride that she can't go back on her word as she suggested me to take her as a familiar
I want to tell her that she didn't need to do anything but after seeing her eyes which were full of desire like it's saying she wouldn't take 'no' for an answer
So I couldn't help but finally agree to her with a tired sigh and since I didn't feel that she would back down until I said 'yes'
Right after that, there was an awkward silence for a few minutes but I got a feeling that she was waiting for me to do something
And my prediction was right after she asked me about some ritual which I needed to do in order to make her familiar
Since I don't know then maybe she is doing it and maybe my blood is needed for this so-called ritual
she took my blood, she chanted something as a red circle appeared on the floor and this circle looked like some kind of magic circle since there were many weird symbols in it
This magic circle has 2 empty spaces without any symbols inside of them in one I am standing while in order she is standing in the other
As dropped my blood in the centre of the magic and the moment blood touched the magic circle, the whole magic circle turned black and purple similar to my shadows
I looked at her and saw her eyes sharpen because of this as she looked at me and opened her mouth and said "With this I will be your familiar, assisting you in any kind of situation will be my responsibility from now on"
she said this whole magic circle suddenly disappeared as I felt a small dragon mark appear on my left shoulder and I could feel an invisible link between me and her
It's like between me and shadows but unlike my Shadows her mind is not affected even in the slightest which is fascinating after all this means she can also reject my commands at will if she wants which is something my shadows can't do
as a drawback of this, she also doesn't get any powers like my shadows in return which means she is not immortal and nor does her powers increase even a bit but luckily her potential has increased
"With this ritual is over now" she said as she took a pause like she was preparing herself for something and after a few seconds she finally spoke in a very low and embarrassed tone"...master.."
What? Why is she calling me master? Wait her previous statement to assist me in any situation, is familiar and is similar to a servant that makes sense why she suggested this since with this her promise also got fulfilled
Wait ....Why the hell did I get another maid All of a sudden!?! One was already plenty but now I have another one who will call me master from now
I don't know what Grayfia will think of this after all she takes her maid job too seriously
and if she knew that I got another maid then I am sure her reaction wouldn't be good maybe she would think that she is not doing a good job and that's why I got one more maid which will hurt her after all her dream is to become a perfect maid and this sure will hurt her heart
But on the other hand, she will be excellent as a sparring partner for Grayfia which will help her to grow and control that 'thing' better
"By the way, what's your name?" I asked this since from the beginning she never told me her name even after asking mine
"Tiamat" she replied in an ice-cold tone which made me think that she was angry at my question for some reason
"Then Tiamat, I will be going back now" I said this as I planned to go back now because it's already been a few hours since I got out of Grayfia and if I don't get back then somebody might find me missing Tʜe sourcᴇ of thɪs content ɪs 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩⁂𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢⁂𝔫𝔢𝔱
"I will follow you," Tiamat said making me stunned because if she came with me then I have no way to explain about her to Grayfia or to her family
"No" I immediately replied as I rejected her idea otherwise unnecessary trouble would be created which I wanted to avoid
To my rejection, she got confused and asked "Why? It should be normal for familiar to follow their contractor's "
"Not now, wait till I complete my unfinished business" I said this as an excuse because even though she may be a good sparring partner for Grayfia but now is not the great time to let Tiamat meet her
First I need to talk with Grayfia and let her know the whole thing beforehand otherwise if she sees her before any explanation then she might get the wrong idea
"Fine, if you require my assistance then you can call me as you like" She said this as she finally decided to accept my excuse to not go with me
"Alright then," I said as I waved my hand towards her and disappeared from that place and teleported myself back to the same guest room in Grayfia's house where I previously was
