A/N- Ooh the drama~ Sorry xD At least you meet Germany in this chapter.
Heidi flies over the village she was just in. "I can't believe he's my brother." She spots Tino playing with Nikoli, and it makes her smile. She lands on the roof of a house and watches. "At least he's safe now."
An angel lands next to her. "Hey Heidi, the king wants to see you."
"Yeah alright." Heidi flies back to the palace. "Yes vati?"
"Ludwig told me Gilbert created a covent." King Alaric indicates the brawny young man slouching awkwardly in the corner, wearing black jeans and a black muscle shirt.
"Y-yeah. Gil made a covent."
"It's strange to have a good devil. Thank you Ludwig. Whom did he make a covent with?"
"He made it with a girl named Alice."
"Was it willing?"
Ludwig murmurs, unheard in the corner. "We can't force a covent…"
"She signed on her own. Because she was the one to talk to Gil first."
"We can't do anything then."
"Yes I know."
Ludwig speaks up again. "He can't kill her though."
King Alaric stares him down. "Well at least that's good."
"If he does then the covent is broken."
"I see. What if he simply hurt her?"
Ludwig takes a moment to think it over. "Depends… If intentional and unwilling then it's broken."
"I see."
Ludwig flicks his tail nervously. "He knows this though… He wouldn't do that…"
"Then there's nothing we can do."
"Well…"
"Well what?"
"Devil's protection. If any serious harm comes to Alice while Gil is able to save her the covent is broken."
"Really?" King Alaric leans forward, interested.
"Yeah. If he breaks it though then all his contracts are taken so he can never make another covent and he's banished to isolation in hell for centuries…"
"I see. Well I will think of a plan to get this girl out of this covent."
Ludwig coughs, not quite done. "Excuse me."
King Alaric does not take the hint however. "I wish you goodnight children." With that he leaves.
Ludwig turns to Heidi. "Heidi. Gilbert can also willingly end the covent." He nods goodnight and vanishes, leaving the faint scent of brimstone.
