"Why?" Aries asked, confusion washing over his face, his brows drawn tightly together.
[Because, unlike Madam Barris' contract, the stakes of this one are far higher. The identity of the contractor is of a much higher status, and the contract involves more than just two parties. More importantly, it is deeply intertwined with your current mission.]
[So, if you cancel it, you will essentially be annulling the mission itself, and that comes with a heavy price.]
"Which is?" Aries asked cautiously, his chest tightening.
[Canceling a royal contract will cost you 500 CE.
And because the contract is closely tied to an active mission, your system will suffer a downgrade, forcing you back to the beginning stage.]
"Huh?" It was as though Aries' ears had malfunctioned. He said aloud, disbelief thick in his voice, "Is that even a thing?"
