Chapter 274: The War that Decides the Fate of \'The Bridge\' Part 77
Without wasting any more time, Wesley started swearing his loyalty to Kayn.
"I swear…"
The ceremony for the <<Cost of Loyalty>> doesn\'t really take that long.
All the target has to do is say a bunch of words that imply they swear eternal loyalty to the holder of the Kingmaker, which is Kayn, and then it is over.
"It\'s done," Wesley stares at Kayn, hoping for the latter to let him go now.
"Now you go back to my charm," Kayn activated his charm to Wesley once more.
"What…?!" Wesley expressed his shock before his eyes turned to a daze.
"Was that really necessary?" Maria can\'t help looking at Kayn suspiciously.
"Yes, because we are going to sleep," Kayn walks to his room. He can\'t afford to let a conscious Wesley walk around without any restrictions in his room. Just Maria alone has already caused him not to have enough sleep, another one might just mean he won\'t have any sleep.
Along the way, he sent an order subconsciously to Wesley to make him go to sleep on the only sofa left after Maria cleared almost everything yesterday.
Maria can only look at Wesley in pity before going to her bed and calling it a day.
…..
The next day, while Kayn and Maria were eating their breakfast, he finally relented his control over Wesley, allowing the latter to take control of his body once again.
"A bastard!" Wesley finished what he wanted to say last night.
"I guess I have to take control of you again,"
"No, no, no! Wait!" Wesley hurriedly uttered to stop Kayn. Looking around his surrounding, he immediately noticed that it was already morning. He then senses that his body had ample rest last night, which is why he is rejuvenated and also explains that Kayn didn\'t mistreat him while he was under his charm. "I promise I\'ll be good,"
"Come and eat," Maria invited Wesley to the table.
As he approached the table, Wesley immediately saw his favorite sweet and sour fish amongst the dishes served. He is already aware of how great Kayn\'s cooking skill is. So, without any hesitation, he grabbed a plate, put some rice on it, and immediately started devouring his breakfast.
"Told you he\'ll fall for it," Kayn opened his palms to Maria.
"What was I thinking," Maria felt stupified of herself as she handed Kayn a pouch full of a hundred coins.
"You two…" Wesley instantly understood what just happened. He looks at the sweet and sour fish while fighting the tears that desire to get out of his eyes right now.
Unbeknownst to Wesley, Kayn had added Undead Apple to the sweet and sour fish.
All of a sudden, the trio heard a knock on the door.
"That must be Christopher," Maria quickly went to the door.
Wesley momentarily paused from eating his breakfast and remembered Kayn mentioning that Christopher has already fallen victim to his charm, prompting him to continue eating again.
As soon as Maria opened the door, both Gilbert and Christopher quickly walked inside.
"Thank you for sending someone reliable to fetch me," Gilbert expresses his appreciation to Kayn.
"No big deal," Kayn went to Maria\'s bed. "So, what\'s Old Mayor George\'s respond?"
"He agreed, but she\'ll have to—" Gilbert looks at Maria. "Be under Kayn\'s management and supervision until the war is finally over,"
"That will prevent me from being free to do whatever I want," Maria looks at Kayn hopeful that he would reconsider.
"He basically meant that yes, but I\'ll take full responsibility," Kayn smiles at Maria.
"So, our alliance is done?"
"That\'s right," Kayn nodded. "Starting today, we are officially allies,"
Maria instantly became delighted. "So, how about your charm over me?"
"I remember last night you said that you\'ll let it remain in you," Kayn chuckled.
"That…" Maria was only joking, but she is afraid Kayn took it seriously.
With a wave of his hand, pink-colored smoke drifted out of Maria\'s body before disappearing into nothingness. That pink smoke was the charm of the Undead Apple.
"You…" Maria stares at Kayn in disbelief.
Even Wesley looks at Kayn in doubt and shock, wondering why the latter did that.
It wasn\'t only the duo who didn\'t expect such a thing to happen, Gilbert immediately jumped close to the door out of fear that Maria will threaten to throw him out of the window once more.
"Don\'t misunderstand, I didn\'t remove all my charm on you," Kayn shook his head. "There\'s still some left, twelve hours to be exact, which should be more than enough for me to kill you or to run away as far as possible from you,"
"That won\'t be necessary," Maria assures that there won\'t come a day where Kayn would have to use that to her.
"That charm will also prevent you from doing things excessively," Kayn added.
"I understand,"
With that being said, everyone quickly finished their morning routines.
Once they were done, Kayn returned to the tavern along with Gilbert and Wesley to continue with their plan of Charming Freedom. On the other hand, Maria returned to the Daze Village to take care of her own matters.
The commotion caused after Wesley\'s disappearance still continued as the Freedom Wings Brigade search expanded throughout the entire Daze Village.
It was the latest and hottest news that welcome everyone the moment they woke up and take the first sip of their coffee.
Because of the risk factor posed by Wesley\'s disappearance, Chief Kylo had no other choice but to pretend that they have found Wesley and revealed a fake one to the masses.
In fairness, the fake Wesley looked identical to the real Wesley, albeit the real reason for that was because that man possess the Gift to copy someone\'s look after possessing a part of their body, including but not limited to their hair.
"Patter…" Wesley muttered.
Patter, the fourth member of the Assembly Knights, his Gift allows him to copy the identity of someone else for an hour.
It is a pretty convenient Gift, but it\'s not practical considering it can only allow one to disguise as somebody else for one hour.
Kayn needs more than an hour, so he abandoned the thought of copying Patter\'s Gift.
