Sacrifice: Time of Mine

Chapter 156: Showing Relle's Face to the Nobles

How did they get a strong mortal?

Do they have a method?

If this is true, it may be an immoral method or a new innovative one. If it was the former, it was okay. They could team up to stop the richest family under the name of laws and justice.

But if it was the latter, the nobles couldn't do anything about them. They could only use underhanded methods to stop the uprising of the Romen Family.

Think about it. How many commoners are there on the street?

Among the noble families, they weren't rabbits that produces countless Rank Cee Elementalists. An Elementalists woman bearing an Elementalist child takes too much energy, natal energy to be exact. Some of the mothers even have their rank lowered after giving birth.

They will have to wait before they could bear another future Rank Cee Elementalists. If only incest does not bring consequences and is outright wrong, they would've no problem searching for talented partners that would not lower their talented bloodline.

But what if they can make a commoner as strong as a Rank Cee Elementalist? They just need to tie them with an Oath Elesp when they are still weak and bam, you have another Rank Cee power added to your family in the future.

This one is more loyal and can be used freely, unlike others who has freedom. The gap is too large!

Meaning, Prince Harold's question is everyone's question. His words pressured the Romen Family.

Numui then looked at King Gregor, his facial expression says it all, 'Aren't we allies? What are you doing?'

King Gregor had a darkened face, 'Sorry, my son has no idea about this secret relationship.'

Although none said words, they have understood one another.

Prince Harold was unknowingly playing on the wrong team. That was when Kalin stepped in.

"What are you saying, prince? My friend here is one of a kind! Since he has no talent for being an Elementalist, he didn't give up and pursued martial arts."

Numui followed, "My son is correct, Prince Harold. This man is actually his bodyguard, Relle and he is the strongest mortal I know." with a proud smile.

From the start, they weren't worried about either Avion or Kalin's safety.

Why?

It's because the only Conqueress was there, hiding!

If only the others knew that she was there, what would they react?

King Gregor Rianzares and King Isero Karan would be the most affected by this. After all, it concerns Haliviana.

Although Darea had no intention of helping, if the situation turns desperate, she may give a helping hand or two. Any method of a Rank Es Elementalist isn't anything small.

"See, Relle, I told you this is your chance to show off your skills." Kalin excitedly added to reduce the suspicion from the nobles.

When Prince Harold was about to relent, a question popped out, "Why are you hiding your face?" this came from the princess.

Kalin, Numui, and Avion looked at each other.

To this, King Isero supported, "Hmm... this is a party, having a mask is unfit."

Although vague, his words are the words of a king. Without anyone saying anything, Avion already knew what to do.

"I apologize for my decision. However, I am hiding it for a reason. Please see for yourselves if you want the mask on or off."

Everyone became quiet. What is he hiding? Does he have a Sharingan?

Avion slowly lifted his mask...

The nobles and royalties were first stunned before they erupted in chaos.

"Wah-wah, my eyes!"

"My eyes!"

As if it was too bright, many eyes closed as their expression turned ugly.

"Keep it! Keep it!" many pleaded while the children cried.

Mettany gritted in anger while the Guild Master sighed at this. Memi shook her head in empathy.

Almost all of the nobles have good appearances. Strong people would choose to marry beautiful partners if there are no other strong partners.

Beauties go to the strong and the ugly stay below. This tradition began since humanity appeared in the world.

After all, if he choices all have their own equal good personalities, who would you choose? The ugly one, the simple one, or the beautiful one?

That is why princes and princesses are all handsome and pretty. They are the most powerful so they would get the most beautiful of all.

Commoners who have low standards saw Avion as a demon. So what about the nobles with high standards?

They panicked while the princess froze, "So ugly!" she was creeped out. 

'Wow, these people are so rude. If I was truly born ugly, I would be crying right now.' Avion thought as he put his mask down.

People finally relaxed but they now feared Avion more ways than one.

At this moment, Prince Julio stepped in, "Don't worry, brother." his clear blue eyes glittered,  "Although you have that curse, you have already touched the princess, consider yourself lucky." he was still gritting his teeth.

His blind eyes could only see that one thing alone.

After that, King Geriahan invited them all to eat which changed the atmosphere. They soon forgot Avion after the hot topic faded.

Eating on one corner, with his mask slightly lifted, Avion silently looked while Kalin was drowning himself with alcohol.

Many nobles encircled the Romen couple, seemingly still asking them questions regarding "Relle"

Van and Jhin finally woke up as they asked what happened. The two raced as they compare what they know.

"I already know that!

"Then do you know about..."

"I know that too!"

...

King Isero suggested compensation to the Guild Master after destroying the tower they painstakingly built in a short time. Next time, they will strengthen the foundation.

Meanwhile, Mettany and Memi were hitting it off. They eventually became close friends. On the other hand, Memi's little brother was already leading the youngsters as if they were a cult.

Prince Julio tried to flirt with the girls but after seeing the food, he didn't restrain himself to eat.

Houie and Stresson stayed there on one corner just like Avion, having the expressions that say, 'Is this normal for the nobles?' they were a little frightened.

Prince Harold was silently eating while gazing at something. Avion noticed that this prince's gaze was slowly turning in his direction.

When Avion looked at what or who the prince's was looking at, he was stupefied.

"Your name is Relle, right?" Princess Alisera approached him while being followed by Edora in her bikini armor.

Avion was stunned at first. He initially thought that the princess would avoid him as much as possible after seeing his face.

In his view, this princess was only concerned about the outside appearance. However, the opposite actually happened.
