Archie's eyes widened with disbelief as he uttered with a hint of fear, "Y-your Highness, please don't jest. I was told I have to join your alliance, and I naturally will work for you diligently but signing an exclusive contract that robs me of my free will was never divulged to me."
Ronan coldly stated without hiding his disdain, "Do you really think a peasant like you, who wasn't even a core grade student or a primary family member, could enter my alliance? Don't make this prince laugh!
"Now, choose either you refuse and be destroyed by me, or you can become my slave as you should be!"

All Ace could guess was that Jefferson wasn't what he seemed and was someone who could intimidate an Imperial Prince like Ronan.
