Sacrifice: Time of Mine

Chapter 62: Begging For Forgiveness

"This... I don't think there's any Element that can do this. Although there are some tricks with enough preparation, I should've sensed it." while the Guild Master was speaking, Avion drank the tea again.

However, he forgot that it was hot again which burnt his tongue, "Ouch!"

'Precious!' even during bafflement, Matteny's gaze didn't change.

After sipping few by few, Avion pushed the tea again and it was half-full. When everyone's eyes were on it, it became full again.

'A true bottomless drink!' everyone thought.

"Is that enough proof?" Avion drank again. His tone full of confidence and even some arrogance with his smug look, "Ouch!" but forgot that the tea was hot again for the second time.

'PRECIOUS!'

"I... I guess so." at this point, the Guild Master was convinced. Thinking about it, albeit seemingly improbable at first, it makes sense!

Avion's origin is not simple. If what he was saying was true then at that moment, they were talking at the Lord Sorcerer's son!

This made the Guild Master felt the chill!

When a Rank Eybi came to Haliviana, the three pairs of Kings and Queens came to welcome him. The difference between Rank Cee and Rank Bih is large, that is the same between Rank Bih and Ey.

But now, Avion might be truly the son of one of the few Rank Es Elementalist in the entire world!

What if the Lord Sorcerer knew about how Mettany almost harassed him!?

Rank Bih to Rank Es is not necessarily like Rank Eeh to Rank Cee. Rank Es hold so much power.

Even Conqueress Darea who fought multiple Rank Es to conquer three continents using her Rank Estrias power, having one Rank Es Element and three Rank Eys, were rumored to fear the Lord Sorcerer that's why the continent Arcansas was deemed to be safe from her conquest.

In other words, the whole continent of Arcansas is ruled by the mysterious Lord Sorcerer. If Avion is really his son, then Avion could be considered the Prince of Arcansas, no doubt about it.

Thinking about it, it wasn't much of a surprise that he could "Blink" kilometers in distance!

'Did I step into a landmine instead?' the Guild Master's forehead let out a cold sweat, 'No! We haven't offended him yet, we are even giving him help, yes!'

"Do you mean when you spat out blood, you weren't acting?" Mettany worriedly said. She was also thinking about the Guild Master's thoughts. She was the most anxious one here!

"Acting?" remembering it made Avion shuddered, "No, I just revert my body back."

"What, what's this all about?" the cold sweat on the Guild Master was increasing in number.

"Ah, when we met Miss Mettany earlier, she dragged me out of the city. I don't have Body Strengthening so the impact almost killed me." Avion shuddered again.

If stares could kill, Mettany would've died a hundred times under Guild Master Gon's glare.

Mettany couldn't help but shed tears from this.

"Lifetime of cleaning service... no! Death sentence!" the Guild Master whispered.

"Yes..." while crying Mettany just agreed.

Avion casually answered. Knowing that Mettany meant no harm... no, she meant harm but it was just a misunderstanding. She thought Avion was strong too and Avion understood that.

He never minded it but then, he saw Mettany cried, Avion suddenly asked, "Eh? Why are you crying?"

"I have sinned..." Mettany sobbed. The wrath of a Rank Es is not something to be trifled with. Even she knew the danger of what she had done.

Although the Guild Master was angry, he wasn't cold-hearted. He stood up, easily moved the table aside, and kneeled down.

'Even if by chance, Avion is not actually affiliated with the Lord Sorcerer... I don't want to take the risk!' the Guild Master was determined.

"Lord Avion! Please don't put Mettany on a death sentence!" Thump* the Guild Master hit the wooden floor with his forehead.

Mettany then followed and while crying she also begged for forgiveness, "Lord, please forgive me. If you want, I can be your slave. But unfortunately, I can't be that kind of slave, my Conditioned Elesk forbid me to have s-"

"Mettany! Mind your words!" the Guild Master interrupted with his face pale, "Lord Avion, please don't put Mettany on a death sentence!"

"Wahh!!" snot and tears were mixing on Mettany's face as she wailed.

"Eh? Ah?" Avion suddenly regretted thinking of 'What's the worst that could happen?' as he didn't expect this in the very least, "I haven't mentioned anything about death sentence."

As of that moment, these two, one was the Guild Master who was the strongest in the Trading-Halls Capital and the other, his assistant who is so talented that she could go toe on toe with a Rank Bih for a short while were kneeling with their foreheads on the ground in front of Avion.

'But... this isn't so bad...' Avion felt power... and something weird. It was as if he was feeling nostalgic... before he said, "Please raise your heads, I don't mind that earlier." he knelt down and said.

"I mean, I was killed by Princess Alisera's Royal-Knight Captain and King Papa." even if Avion didn't want to remember it but to alleviate the atmosphere, this was the only thing he had in mind, "If I'm that dangerous, they should've died." he smiled as if he said something comforting.

The Guild Master and Mettany looked at each other with strange gazes, 'Killed?' they thought they heard it wrong but didn't dare to make Avion repeat himself.

However, this one needs clearance... 

"Ki-king Papa?" the Guild Master stuttered.

If any of the three kings heard this, they would think that this man is an imposter of the domineering Guild Master.

"Yeah, Alisera's father, the King of Karan." Avion said, "King Papa and his wife, Queen Mama."

Never in the history books had he read was focused on something so little like the kings of Haliviana. He never knew their name and also, he had never heard of the term "Papa" and "Mama"

No writer of history books would use these terms!

Avion thought they were names. Since he's in a different era, he didn't question it that much.

"You mean King Isero Karan?" the Guild Master said as he raised his head only because Avion said so.

"Isero? But why did Alisera called him Papa?" Avion frowned.

Somehow, this alleviated the two's fear.
