บท 57: Eric vs Evan

Evan continued, "I have nothing to fear from a mere awakened. But you should know that a Duel of Obedience with me is not something to be taken lightly. If you lose, you will be bound to serve me for a period of no less than ten years. And during that time, you will be at my beck and call like a loyal dog. Do you still dare to challenge me?"

Without hesitation, Eric met Evan's gaze with a determined look. "Why not, Your Highness?" he answered, his voice steady and unwavering. "Serving you is a lifetime opportunity, and being served by you is an unthinkable dream coming true. I do dare, and I accept the terms of the Duel. I pledge to obey your every command if I am defeated. And I will make you do the same if I defeat you."
