[Rose?]
"What is it, Luma?"
[There is someone in this world that I like... if you could, could you please spare her if she offers her service?]
"Of course, who is it?"
[The level 503 commander of this world, Celia.]
"I see, and why do you like her?"
[She is very kind and always says please and thank you.]
"I see, well as long as she swears loyalty, she will live."
[... Thank you.]
"Of course, I'm sorry I can't promise much better."
[It's alright, I understand that you would have to kill her if she's a threat.]
"E-e-excuse me?"
"Ye-"
It was someone who was at least a 500.
"Are you Celia?"
"Y-yes, I assume that the System informed you of me?"
"Yes, she did..."
"I want to swear my loyalty to you on a condition."
That intrigued me, she was aware who I was, and how powerful I was, yet she still asked for a condition to her loyalty.
"What is this condition?"
"You... you're actually going to hear me out?"
"Of course, I'm not a monster."
She smiled.
"Thank you, um... could you please spare my men. I understand if you wouldn't be interested in it, but if you could allow me three days to get as many men as I could to swear loyalty, and simply dismiss the others, you would get this world without more bloodshed."
I smiled.
"I like that. Sure, I can do that."
"Thank you."
[The individual, Celia, has sword loyalty to you.]

Celia POV
She was far different then I expected. I always assumed that she was just flat out a monster. A beast that would do anything for power, but those eyes... they were kind and pure...
And Ms. System swore loyalty to her... I didn't even know that was possible, or that there was someone strong enough to make a contract with her.
I called a meeting of the 400s, all but one showed up.
"So, as you may have noticed, but Martin is dead."
"How?!"
"I hope the killer was brought to justice!!!"
"Calm down."
"Yes mam."
"We are in the middle of being invaded and I have already checked, there is no way to contact reinforcements or retreat."
"Then we kill the attacker!!!"
"We can't we are not strong enough."
"What do you mean?"
"Our assailant is Rose Hood, someone who could terrify even the Shadow. We don't stand a chance, so we only have one hope."
"Mam, you can't be serious."
