Sacrifice: Time of Mine

Chapter 182: Sin Holders

The maids were frozen still.

Is the King of Rianzares just bowing at Lady Tamya right now? Shouldn't the roles be reversed?

"Sure, I will do that." Tamya brightly smiled that brought light in the darkness.

"Thank you, please tell the old master that we need help. As of now, Haliviana had released her Hundred Beasts Assimilation elesp to an unknown servant." King Gregor reported.

"Sure, I will relay that message but..." Tamya softly touched her light pinkish lips, "Is Galion Romen the one responsible for it?"

"Yes, partially."

Tamya frowned, "Explain"

'She's ordering the king!' the maids almost passed out. This is a Rank Bih Elementalist in front of them! How many of them are there in the whole Haliviana? Their Lady is not even Rank Dih, isn't the king will get angry!?

But instead of anger, against their expectation, King Gregor politely continued.

"If it is only that old Galion that came, then I'm pretty sure that Queen Teresa alone can keep up with him. With the help of King Isero, he may be able to slightly tilt the table. But there is one person who killed the two Royal Couples both from the Karan and Hansheles. That's maybe why Haliviana noticed this and rushed, only making Princess Alisera Rank Bih, not Rank Ey Life Elementalist so to revive the two."

"Looks like things are advancing faster than estimation... so who's this one person?"

"It's Avion Teller." the king bluntly replied which stunned Tamya.

"Avion... Teller?" 

King Gregor frowned and nodded. He explained the reasons for his speculations, proving the truth. Then he continued what happened, making the scene in the Tradin-Hills Resort and how Galion had backstabbed them.

While he explained, Tamya's facial expression slowly transformed; her eyebrows rose, eyes widened, and jaw lowered simultaneously, which was a little comical.

"Galion's betrayal is expected but... Avion Teller?! I never thought that he will appear in this!" Tamya's heart strongly throbbed a little.

'What if grandma saw the connection and figured it out? I'm definitely going to be thrown into our dungeon for punishment!' 

But majorly, she was thinking,

'I thought I'm never going to see him again... I need to prove that I'm not a cheap slut! I have to know why I'm so attached to him. Yes, I need to get close to him so that I can figure out the reason. Nothing more. For researchers purposes only!'

The composed Lady Tamya grinned at that moment.

'This devil princess must've known that Avion is not a threat. She may know the counter against his cheat ability. Seemed like I have nothing to worry about.' King Gregor thought. Avion was too abnormal. Not shedding a bit of aura signifies that he is not an Elementalist but at the same time, he was able to infinitely use a cheating ability. There should be a weakness to this!

"Is that all?" Tamya became more enthusiastic.

"Yes, I would like to seek reinforcement."

"Got it... go on now. If Grandma Sien sensed you, a man, you may not be able to leave alive." Tamya waved her hand.

King Gregor gulped and know that Tamya was not joking. He looked up and at the same time, one of the lights behind the windows turned off.

"Hm?" Tamya then looked around and saw that lights were getting turned off one by one, "Speak of the devil."

'Literally...' King Gregor immediately excused himself, "Then I'll be going now."

"Okay, be saf-"

"DIE-!" a shrill came out of the room that just went dark along with the breaking of a window.

"No!" King Gregor ran faster into the woods but a force was following him at a speed he could never hope to escape. He felt a tug on his left leg and without a second thought, he released a water blade and cut this limb off before crawling away desperately.

"TSK!" Tamya and the maids heard an annoyed cluck and saw a leg was thrown out of the window where the force came from. Looking at it, it was King Gregor's leg... it teleported?

"WORTHLESS!"

The maids froze in fear thinking that a monster got into their mansion without them knowing.

"Unlucky for the king." Tamya sighed before glancing to where the king ran off and back to the broken window. Lights began turning off again as if darkness was walking.

After walking in, leaving the maids in fear, Tamya met the old lady she calls Grandma Siena. Compared to this old lady, Aunt Gina could be considered a youth.

"Tamya! Why are you speaking to a man!? How many times did I tell you that you don't speak to strangers and men! Especially if that stranger is a man! But if that stranger is a woman then it's fine..."

'So it's just men...' Tamya didn't know if she wanted to laugh or cry, "Grandma, it's King Gregor. He's here with a report."

"King Gregor? I spit on him, shupa!" the old lady that seemed not human from how wrinkly she was barbarically spat out saliva.

'Grandma Siena,' Tamya's eyes became sharp, 'even as Rank Bih, she just plays with others with the same rank as if they were not her match at all. I'm only Rank Eeh and have yet to fully unlock my Conditioned Elesk.'

'Once I've reached that level, I will finally enter the arena and take a proper position! After that, I will no longer be under this old lady who's about to kick the bucket.'

'But first, I have yet to know her Conditioned Elesk Wrath and Greed's weakness... I only know that as long as she wants it, she will get it. It's a little overpowered. How will my Conditioned Elesk Envy make me kind of a monster?'

'Actually, that Holder of Lust has already reached her limit...'

Tamya reported to Grandma Siena about what King Gregor had said without missing any point.

"I see, I see..." Grandma Siena's wrinkled face contorted and it seemed like she smiled, "Then I should use that card now. I've received the news that our Lust Holder can actually reach Rank Bih now."

"Yes, according to the Guild Master, she is able to reach that certain level of strength. Although compared to other Rank Bihs, she is still lacking."

"Hoho~" the old lady eerily laughed, "Then let's put her into use. Help me a bit. And, what's happening to the other three kingdoms now?"

"I think they've began."

"Great, great! I don't know why but everything is going smoothly!" Grandma Siena wanted to clap but she couldn't stand on her own without relying on a crane. Realizing this, she frowned, "I knew it, I should've raised a cat so that I can menacingly caress it while smiling! I can't believe I'm failing as a villain!"

Tamya offered her head to be a substitute instead.

"Hm... it's too late for me but you should find a wild kitty and raise it. Preferably if that kitty is black, understood?"

'I'm pretty sure you're not failing as a villain... what's the Vario Family thinking when they sent me here? This fossil is only teaching me useless stuff. But thinking about it, I've been wanting to touch his fluffy hair!'
