"So, what do you want?"[Boy]

"Grr..."[Knight]
The princess became teary eyed seeing the boy was pissed while the knight was releasing killing intent as he glared at the boy.
"I want you to train the heroes. I beg of you."[Princess]
The princess gave a pleading voice at the boy as she was in a dire need of help. The knight became depress as he stared at the princess. The boy didn't say anything as he raise his head up.
"Haah..."
He gave a sigh as he looked at the princess. The air around him got even more colder as he was staring at the princess. The knight shuttered as he was now being in contact with a strong monster as the boy took a sip of the tea.
"Did you think that i would help you?"[Boy]
"..."[Princess]
The boy gave a dead eyes to the princess as the knight could do nothing to the boy. The princess gave resolve as she stared at the boy.
"...i-i would do anything to help our kingdom, please ask."[Princess]
As the princess said that, the boy looked at the princess body as he gave a lewd look at her. The knight gritted his teeth as the person he serve was offering her body to him. After the boy looked at the girl's body, he gave a smirk as he wasn't interested in her.
"Then we have ourselves a deal."[Boy]
"Why you..."[Knight]
The knight couldn't take the shame and charge at the boy.
"How much?"[Boy]
