The straightforward rejection left Miha and Yiluo montarily stunned.
The twins never expected Arthur would give such an answer.
According to their thoughts, Arthur should have readily agreed by now.
After all, they were very curious at the ti, which led to...
'Wait a minute!
It!
This guy made us miss the biggest clue!'
In the midst of thinking, Miha and Yiluo suddenly realized sothing, and their [Spirituality] observed the [Blood of Doting]. At the mont they 'saw' the [Blood of Doting], the twins understood why Arthur would reject so decisively; Arthur was certainly not lacking in curiosity.
Being human, you'd be curious.
Unless you know the answer.
Arthur naturally already knew the answer.
Not only did he know the answer, but he might have already started acting, looking for the breakthrough—just like they did originally.
Indeed, a person capable of designing traps against them is definitely not as simple as they seem.
Even...
Perhaps what they are able to see is exactly what they were ant to see.
An extrely familiar sense of oppression erged, causing Yiluo, the twin sister, to shiver in her soul.
That kind of [Spirituality] chaos would make 'it' appear once more.
However, it ultimately chose to refuse.
It was trembling as well.
Or perhaps it was fear.
The buried mories resurfaced again, breaking apart the many seals it had set, plunging its [Spirituality] into complete chaos.
In such a state, being an independent 'it', although becoming more independent, it had no strength to resist.
Especially when facing Arthur, 'it' did not want to confront Arthur.
Moreover, since 'it' had already beco independent, why should it help them, why should it beco that useless umbrella?
'It' refused!
'It' is independent!
'It' could even promote to 'He'!
Sharing the sa origin first made Yiluo feel 'its' malice, and imdiately, this twin sister cried for help.
'Sister, what do we do?'
'Don't panic.
Keep an eye on it.
I will strive for a situation most advantageous to us!'
Miha comforted her sister.
Then, the twin sister spoke again—
"Sorry, I was rude.
My and Yiluo's state isn't well, and it's easy for us to overlook so of the facts right before us, please forgive us.
If it's here, it shows you already know the situation at the ti.
We certainly can't use these matters to trade with you anymore."
Miha spoke clearly.
Arthur remained expressionless.
As a Spirit dium, Arthur understood that silence at this mont was the best choice.
Even though he was extrely curious about the person behind Glast, the sa principle applied.
Suppressing his curiosity, Arthur picked up the pipe Marinda had given him, rubbing his thumb on the small engraved letters wrapped in wave patterns.
The na was Marinda.
Arthur believed Miha and Yiluo could 'see' it.
Thus, the young Spirit dium began to adjust his breathing.
From rapid, he beca long and steady.
The coldness and madness on his face were thoroughly restrained, becoming peaceful.
Only the deep eyes seed unchanged, just staring fixedly at the na 'Marinda'.
'Marinda?
Does that lady bring peace to the frenzied Spirit dium before ?
So that's it, no wonder there's such strong affection.
The Spirit dium before must have realized his state was not right, thus needing soone he loves to calm his emotions!'
Upon realizing this, joy surged within Miha's heart.
Crazed individuals cannot be talked to, let alone negotiated or collaborated with.
But calm individuals can be.
Just like right now, it's a rare opportunity.
It's well-known that soone who completely calms down during negotiations becos a tough nut to crack.
So, the best chance for negotiation is this ti when soone is about to calm down but hasn't truly cald down—
"Lord Kledos, you may have already investigated who stands behind Glast, and know why Glast incited the 'Seven Years' War'.
However, I can assure you, you absolutely don't know why the person behind Glast is doing this!"
Miha spoke with confidence.
Hearing Miha's confident words, Arthur adjusted his expression with a slight frown.
Arthur knew Miha was using so negotiation tactics, but he was more concerned with why Miha was so certain.
'Contract?
Or...
Everyone present knows each other?
Even back then, in a very peculiar space environnt, so everyone present knows each other?'
Arthur gradually pieced it together in his mind.
He leaned towards the latter.
Though contracts are convenient, they are not completely secure.
Especially since Miha could say this at that mont, obviously having no contractual constraint.
Thinking of this, Arthur's brow quickly relaxed.
Though just fleeting, it was caught accurately by Miha.
Miha was very certain that Arthur cared about this, yet Arthur didn't know this.
And this was their opportunity.
"Yiluo and I have no intention of being your enemies.
We are just poor souls who were forced into a defensive reaction at that ti.
And now?
I hope for my sister and I to live safely."
Miha spoke with utmost sincerity.
Arthur, however, let out a cold laugh.
"Verbal promises are not the best guarantees.
Moreover, in your current state, even contracts are easy to break.
If you want to reach a deal, I hope you show so sincerity."
Miha understood Arthur's words.
Clearly, their peculiar state made the Spirit dium before them extrely cautious.
After a brief hesitation, this twin sister spoke directly—
"It was created by and my sister to protect us.
It originates from our flesh, soul.
But now, it's beco totally useless, instead turning into poison for my sister and .
It has co out on its own, peeping at everything about us.
Our special state before was caused by it.
And now, it still continues its peeping."
Miha explained.
'Personality division?
Twins jointly splitting off a personality?
Hmph!
Should I say, worthy of the Mystic Side?'
Arthur sighed inwardly, but spoke aloud.
"I don't need such explanations, I'm well aware of your state, so I need sothing more tangible to reassure .
And that is the basis for our cooperation."
After roughly understanding the character of the twins and their current predicant, Arthur started to press closely.
Miha and Yiluo should have suffered from inhuman abuse since childhood.
Thus forming a character of passive endurance.
Even strong Miha was just a bit stronger.
As for Yiluo?
Without Miha, perhaps only tears would remain now.
Indeed, it's how it seed.
Faced with Arthur's pressing actions, Miha felt no resentnt, instead a sense of inevitability.
Imdiately, this twin sister stated—
"We need to peel it away, which will leave increasingly weak.
We hope you can protect us during this ti.
We will agree to sign a contract with you!"
Hearing this, Arthur laughed.
But it was still a cold laugh.
