Generally speaking, the coercive force that invades Reiger’s body and is capable of interfering with him should be ineffective under the fleshly intervention immunity of "Self-Redemption".
However, Morgan had previously said that if there were no benefits, her "Stake" would not work on Reiger.
Which ans if there are benefits, that would be a different matter altogether.
·Can accept and enhance effects that are beneficial boosts to oneself.
This is an effect concretely recorded on the "Self-Redemption" skill.
Having known this, Morgan developed a magical "Stake" that could affect Reiger, finding a roundabout way to impose certain restrictions on him.
The result was the birth of the skill "Oath Stake".
Reiger vaguely guessed so of the chanism behind it, and now received confirmation from Morgan’s own words.
But he was still sowhat confused.
"Why would you do this?"
Reiger stared intently at Morgan, as if trying to see through her innermost thoughts as he asked this question.
"I am clearly not your friend but your foe, yet you not only grant protection but also establish a contract of power exchange with , for what purpose?"
To keep himself in Calot, to marry her?
This aim just seed absurd to Reiger.
He would rather believe Morgan had ulterior motives than to accept that the ruthless ruler of Fairy Country Britannia, a witch, would go through such trouble for a man.
Moreover, as Reiger said, they were enemies, not friends. They had never even seen each other’s faces before, yet Her Majesty the Queen was doing things that seemingly went against her own interests just to marry him—what was she really after?
It couldn’t just be that she was craving for his body, could it?
As Reiger thought this, he failed to notice the unfathomable emotions flickering in Morgan’s eyes.
Then, the witch who ruled the cold of winter spoke indifferently.
"As I said before, you will know in due ti."
Hearing this, Reiger looked deeply at Morgan.
"Let’s change the question, then," Reiger said. "What power are you planning to exchange with ?"
This question caused Morgan to look deeply at Reiger in return.
"You will know in due ti."
Her Majesty the Queen said the sa words, steeped in insinuation, which almost made Reiger frown then and there.
Consequently, Reiger’s voice turned cold as well.
"Do you think you can trap like this?"
It wasn’t a provocation.
Even though Morgan had used special ans to indirectly impose restrictions on him, Reiger was not without solutions.
The simplest thod was to use the transcendent magic—"Wish Upon a Star".
With this broken-level magic that could make one’s wishes co true, Reiger could make a wish right here to remove Morgan’s "conditions" or even eliminate the "Stake", severing the unclear connection with Morgan.
Compared to the Breath of Day, compared to the God rloi, this was Reiger’s biggest trump card, his strongest asure.
If it were not for the need to consu his own experience points to use "Wish Upon a Star," which could even lead to a decrease in level if severe, Reiger might have already initiated this transcendent magic to get rid of the "Stake" within him.
But when the ti cos that it is necessary to use it, Reiger won’t hesitate.
Just experience points, right? If lost, just earn them back!
Just a level, right? If it drops, just climb back up!
So, Morgan couldn’t control Reiger.
If he really got irritated, he would definitely activate "Wish Upon a Star" to break free from the bonds of "Oath Stake".
Morgan did not argue against this.
She did not know about the existence of "Wish Upon a Star".
But—
"I know that with your personality, if you ever feel like your freedom has been stripped away, you would certainly break through this predicant at all costs."
As she uttered these words, Morgan’s tone was noticeably forlorn and downcast, resembling a little girl whispering to herself in a corner of a room during a dark night.
She indeed understood Reiger very well, knowing that what he aspired to most was freedom, a life unconstrained and filled with dramatic fluctuations.
At least, upon hearing Morgan’s tone at that mont, Reiger felt like she might grasp even the lives he lived in his previous worlds.
But this feeling was quickly shattered by Morgan’s restored indifferent tone.
"Therefore, the "condition" I propose is that you must stay in Calot until you marry , not for your entire lifeti."
If it’s just about staying in Calot for around a month, Reiger’s aversion might be much reduced, which is perhaps what Morgan was thinking.
Moreover, Morgan couldn’t impose a "condition" that Reiger stay in Calot for a lifeti.
Such a "condition" would be too harsh, effectively imprisoning Reiger’s entire life in this place, and such a burdenso "condition" wouldn’t be possible to exchange for, no matter how strong a power Morgan offered.
If the power offered in exchange is far more valuable than the "condition," then the "condition" offered by that person will have a certain degree of coercion; but vice versa, if the power offered is cheaper than the "condition," not only will the "condition" lack coercion but it might not even be established, or else there might be situations where one would impose harsh "conditions" with a very weak power.
