It was no secret the importance of contracts to the people of Liyue. Rex Lapis himself was no exception; in fact, those agreements may just have been the most important to him out of anyone. Of course, these contracts of mutual interest easily could be considered with multiple points of views; a blessing, or a curse.

This would be brought into effect after being brought before the Archon himself after committing a rather heinous set of crimes even the Millelith decided that your fate would decided better by Morax himself, rather than them.

As you knelt before Rex Lapis with the threat of your life hanging above your head, those amber eyes stared you down intently from behind the desk he was situated at. It was hard to tell just what was running through his mind; that is, until he finally spoke.

"This can go two ways."

The powerful voice echoing throughout the walls of his corridor matching his already serious expression, the Geo Archon stood, slowly approaching your form and standing before you. Raising your chin with his index and thumb, he forced you to lock eyes with him.

"Either I take your life right now..."

A brief moment of silence passed, the thickness of tension in the air filling your lungs. There was an obvious shift in the Geo Archon's tone; a certain heat to it. With his free hand, Rex Lapis created a contract right out of thin air. Releasing your chin, the paper floated down from the high stature Morax was, landing in front of you upon the ground beside a quill.

"Or you agree to my contract, and I spare it."
