The Reincarnated Evil Witch Tries To Avoid The Death Flag

The Contract That Bound Us Together

After Medea has dressed up properly, she walks to the guest room where Sieg, Grabus, and Angui are waiting.

"Thank you for waiting, your Highness, sir archmage. What would you like to discuss with me?"
Medea is dressed in her casual dress but due to her irresistible beauty,
upon her arrival at the guest room,
Sieg is trying to avert his eye from her, Grabus is fascinated but Seig nudges him with his elbow to wake him up.

"My apologies for the late introduction, My name is Medea." - She speaks.

"My name is Grabus Vasorin, I am the archmage of the holy knight" - Grabus sounds oddly friendly.

Sieg is now quiet and averting his gaze from Medea. 

"Miss Medea, We are in dire need of your help" - Grabus, suddenly held up both Medea's hands, gently.

"Eh!? Sir Grabus!?" - Medea, a little surprised by a good-looking guy suddenly holding her hands.

"Hey! Take your hand off hers you sly mage!" Sieg yelled, pulling the hands off.
"Hehe, all right, all right ^^" - Grabus.

Grabus explained the situation of the curse inflicted on Sieg. It's the same as in the original novel Medea read in her past life.
So Medea already knew what to expect.

"May I ask, I heard the saintess Portia has an immense holy power, perhaps she could help?"
- Medea asked.
"We have tried it, The saintess Portia has made a great effort but she couldn't lift the curse" - Grabus replied.
"Hmph, that wench is just another swindler in the church's name, extorting money from the poor, one of these days we will have her jailed" - Sieg commented, annoyed.

"Eh? In the original story, didn't they fall in love at first sight? maybe He will fall for the saintess later on" - Medea thought.

"But I'm just a lowly witch, I can only use basic magic >.<" - Medea tries to refuse, the curse's level is too high and it's almost impossible for a low-ranked witch like her to lift it, it requires lots of time and effort spent over weeks or months.

"Please, Miss Medea, You are the only one our empire can rely on now, I'm sure you can do it" - Grabus, with pleading eyes.
"If you fail, I'll charge you with 'attempting to bewitch holy knights' and 'practicing dark magic' " - Sieg, annoyed.
Medea thought: "If I fail to lift this curse, I'm doomed, Just leave me alone you handsome crazy guys T-T"

"All right, All right, I'll see what I can do" - Medea had no choice, it was still better than a swift death by his sword.

"Thank you, Miss Medea, Let's sign a contract now" - Grabus, smiling.

The contract contents:
- The Oldenhelm Empire shall authorize the use of dark magic for Miss Medea.
- Miss Medea must lift the curse from the crown prince "Sieg Oldenhelm". Failure to do so, a suitable penalty will be given. She is now forbidden to leave the empire while the contract is not fulfilled and her location will be tracked by the Holy Knight Order. 
- Both parties must not cause any harm to each other, nor violate the law.

Medea focused her magic on the magic contract paper. Her signature now appeared in the contract.
Sieg focused his holy power on the magic contract paper. His signature now appeared in the contract.

"Very well, now that the contract is completed, I'll take my leave" - Grabus, smiling.
Angui also left the room to see him off. But Sieg still stays.

"Why did he stay? just leave already you dangerous handsome prince" - Medea thought.

"Now, Witch, you must fulfill your promise" - Sieg
"My apologies, your Highness, I'm afraid the curse of this severity will be impossible to lift in one go, It could take some time to slowly lift it bit by bit, by performing rituals with specific conditions" - Medea
"Fine, but don't try to fool me, Witch, I won't tolerate deceptions" - Sieg, wary.
"Of course, Your Highness" - Medea, sweating, now, any wrong move on Sieg and he would kill her where she stood.
