The minister smiled, "Of course, Your Majesty, but before taking action, we can sign a contract first."
Saying this, he pulled a scroll out from within his coat.
Rune's pupils shrank slightly.
*He had prepared everything; the Faceless One calculated every step, yet as king, he found himself the most powerless of all.*
The contents of the contract were simple: once the commander of the Undead was killed, Rune would become one of the Faceless Ones.
Rune picked up the pen and signed his name on the scroll.
The contract was completed and disappeared instantly.
Rune continued, "Alright, I hope to see results within the next two days. You wouldn't want to die inside the city, would you?"
The minister nodded, "Naturally, arrangements will be made from above to resolve this matter."
"Hmph, it better be so."
"Then, Your Majesty, I shall let you rest. I won't disturb you any further."
The minister finished speaking and exited the study directly.
