'But how?' this question plagued the young prince for 2 days until Dame Nora's knighting ceremony. 

Clad in luxurious royal garbs, Deon attended Nora's oath-taking with Sir Finn, several officials, and the king.

King Fredrich majestically descended from his throne and took the ceremonial sword offered by one of his officials. He towered over the kneeling Nora and placed the sword on both her shoulders in turn while reciting his lines.

"I, Fredrich Hensworth, the 19th ruler of the kingdom of spears hereby appoints Dame Nora as the third prince's knight. Together with Sir Finn, a Tier-1 Royal Almagi, the two shall form the Order of the Golden Dawn as the Prince's personal Order."

Ping!





"Ah… at last!" Mikael rejoiced at this highly anticipated notification that took more than a month to finish.

For one whole month, no other spirit posted a job on Mikael's Request Board which made him quite upset since he thought it was just a matter of time before he reached the required karma points for the Angelic Class and he wondered whether Alisha and Arthur were properly spreading his name in the Underworld.

Truly, humans are such contradictory creatures.

At first, he cursed Alisha for giving him the Apostle of Justice title, but now that he had tasted the benefits, he wanted them to work even harder in advertising his fame in the land of the dead.

Thankfully, Arthur was such a rich client that he posted one request after another for Nora's welfare—just like now.

Ping!



Ping!

< Request Title: Help my sister (III)

Request Type: Chain request (last)

Request Details:

The Elysium-grade spirit, Arthur, still worries about his elder sister, Nora.

Arthur says he wants to be with his beloved sister in the afterlife paradise. However, he knows that his sister has accumulated too many sins in order to feed and raise him on her own.

So, to finally rest in peace, Arthur asks the Apostle of Justice to help his sister achieve redemption

Request reward: +50 Karma Points.>   

"Uwaahh… this sis-con is just…" after reading the contents of his request, Mikael could not help but hang his mouth open in disbelief, "Is he for real? Why not just tell me to marry his sister or adopt her as my second child? Like, seriously? What do they think I am? An orphanage?"

His sarcasm even found its way to the quiet Deon who was merely trying to maintain his royal demeanor in the solemn ceremony.

"Hey kid, can you believe this guy? Does he want us to make Nora a saintess or something?" Mikael grumbled, 'As if turning this kid into a hero wasn't hard enough.'

Or so he says, but Mikael's conscience simply could not allow an acquaintance-bordering-on-friend to be thrown in the deepest pits of hell when it could be avoided.

Somehow, Mikael saw his past self in Nora. Although he never killed anyone for money when he was alive, he knew of the hardships that came with being a destitute orphan. Of the ridicule, one receives from others and of the amount of hard work needed to feed oneself day after day.

He even sympathized with her helplessness to protect her brother from killer ants. Just as he did with Choco against loan sharks.

As a result, Mikael reluctantly accepted Arthur's request, thinking he might as well take Nora along in his quest for collecting good karma.

Ping!





But to Mikael's surprise, the notifications didn't end there!

Ping!







"Whaa?? Sub-contract? What the heck is that?" Mikael guffawed.

As expected, his understanding of the Ascension system was severely lacking. He thought that there only existed one contract, the Universal Contract, to which he obtained his royal partner. After all, his fate was already tied to this one contractor so who would've guessed that he could make multiple contracts?

To shed light on his confusion, the system brought up another panel.
