폭군에게 사기계약당해 친구 된 사연

My fourth regression.

To survive, I had to become independent.

For my goal, I picked up a man who was woefully annihilated and about to die.

I wanted to become an “extraterritorial territory” in a world full of villains.

I wanted extraterritoriality rights so power, money, honor, and even the law couldn’t reach me.

That’s where I wanted to stand.

“What exactly are you?”

“I don’t know—your fate, maybe?”

“What?”

“Miraculously appearing and saving you just before death, isn’t that fate?”

Ahaak Osvold, the tyrant who would rule with cruelty, proposed an unexpected contract.

“I want to make a friendship contract with you.”

‘Why would you want to be friends with me?’ …It’s what I thought, but in all honesty, I needed him to gain my “autonomous region.”

“Don’t regret it later.”

Then, I’ll raise you as an emperor.

━━━━ ∙ʚ(✧)ɞ∙ ━━━━

But it seems I raised him too well?

Amid the imperial succession competition, Ahaak kissed my hair and said,

“Tia, what are you looking at?”

“I mean, tonight… I’ll be waiting for you in my chambers, Tia.”

“Since I’m the only friend in your life, it’s enough.”

…Wait.

It didn’t say anywhere that the friends contract with the tyrant would be exclusive, right?
