Scarlet Heart: What It Means To Be With You (TCF Fanfiction)

VII.

Gratitude II

As they seated in front of the priest who was clad in white priest garments, Cale then raised his hand, informing the priest that he was the one who will put his life on the line. The priest then nodded at him in acknowledgment. 

The priest then gives them a piece of paper each, there were written rules of the vows.

{For the person who was putting their lives on the line, the hand of the God of Death will touch the one who came with you. Once that happens, you can say your vow. Should you break your vow, death awaits you.}

'How vicious.' Cale thought as his face twitched. The priest then began his work. Dark shadow-like smoke embraced the two.

"...Is this the power of God?" Choi asked nervously.

"That's right," Cale answered.

'So if I break the vow, I'll die huh.'

Cale then began to say his vow simply stating that if he lies, he would immediately die on the spot as its price which made Choi Han gulp nervously as he look at the redhead who looks like what he just said did not even bother him one bit.

Cale then contemplates what information he should tell the other party. Thinking of saying things such as "I am actually a Korean who was transported here by the GoD." to "This is actually inside the novel I happened to read." to "The continent will soon be in a state of war." made Cale'd mind in chaos.

Thinking that no matter what he says will just complicate the already complicated things.

'Here goes nothing...'

"First, I Cale Henituse did not know the identity of the secret organization nor the mysterious group who helped you. Though I have a rough guess on the second one, I wish for you to be patient until I further investigate them." Which is basically the truth. All he knew is what the said organization just did but he have no idea what are their identity and goals. The silver shield group on the other hand felt like it came from where the mysterious letters he received since he became Cale Henituse.

"Another truth is I desired that secret organization and I wish for them to disappear." 

"How could you hate them if you don't know who they are?" Choi Han asked bewildered and confused.
