Sacrifice: Time of Mine

Chapter 223: Love is Love

Earlier than that, Galion was suddenly surprised by Avion's appearance. When Avion detached himself from Dragonian Sheran, the dragon lady then hid behind Gamon's back.

'What is she so scared of?' Galion pondered.

That was when Avion told his story to break the awkward silence.

Meanwhile, the Rank Eybi old grandpa was thinking about a lot of things.

'There's something wrong with the atmosphere here.' he looked around and saw that the other girls behind him had cold and dark expressions.

'Why do they have those faces?' he twirled his short beard.

'Oh, I cannot believe this! Is it possible!?'

Galion looked at the princess and her former bodyguard with surprise, 'Is this what I think it is!? They like Avion too!? How...? He tried to kill your father! He is also one of the reasons why your mother is dead!'

'I didn't suspect this expression of theirs as jealousy. How about this bitch? When did you fall for this guy? That is why I thought they were having these expressions for another reason. As if they saw a ghost.'

'And then the Penta Elementalist's expression is not that far too. What? You like him too? Of course, that's not it. He and the dragon should be excluded. If Dragonian Sheran is part of this... Avion's harem- goddammit!... then she would be happy instead.'

'It is safe to assume that those two Rank Es have something else to fear... I can use this. If only I can talk to Avion. I don't know which side he is on so there is still a way.'

Galion pondered and didn't hear a word Avion said. The next moment, he saw that the girls were looking at their chests, seemingly disappointed in them.

'Why are they looking at them with worry in their faces? Is there something on our chests?' but he misunderstood it and looked at his chest too.

Gamon who was calming himself noticed the old man react the same as the other girls.

'It was obvious that these girls like this handsome Avion but you too, old man!? Disgusting!' his eyes turned cold and of scorn.

Feeling the gaze, Galion looked and saw that Gamon's cold gaze.

Galion's eyes widened, 'Wait... I am familiar with that look. Why is he pointing that to me?! Does he... like me!? Disgusting!'

'They've been staring at each other... is this what Mer told me?!' Dragonian Sheran had already calmed down and came out of Gamon's back, 'Do these two have that!?' she was in a great shock that she almost forgot about her fear to Avion.

'Gamon, I didn't think that you have such... type of romance.' she didn't want to think of it as she is a bit creeped out that she slowly moved away.

'Ah, she's going back to Avion's side. Is this a clear indication of what she really feels?!' Mettany bitterly thought, 'I can't defeat her in any way... a better body... stronger rank... more beautiful... and more mature...'

'I have no choice but...' Mettany looked with determination, 'to become the second wife!'

On the other side, Tamya watched the scene without knowing what to think, 'Why do I feel strange?'

At that point, Sheran narrowed her eyes and cast it towards Tamya, 'I smell Immorality but it's too faint.'

'Avion is really popular. I wonder what the princess thinks of him.' Edora pondered as well as she glanced at Alisera, 'Does she still hate him for assassinating her parents?'

On Edora's side, however...

'How dare he have fun...' Alisera eerily thought, 'Mommy, I will avenge you. I will take Avion's head for you.'

'No! Don't be disgusted! Love is love! I should support him since he is my subordinate, yes!' Dragonian Sheran tried to ease herself when suddenly she heard-

"Lady Sheran, does those two like each other?"

Of course, Gamon and Galion heard this. Their faces twitched.

'Huh? When did I get close to him?' the dragon lady looked and saw that Avion was only inches smaller than her. She became stiff again.

'Why am I like this? I am still a dragon! I should be fearless!' she clenched her fist and stopped shivering.

As if she changed as a person, Dragonian Sheran calmly crossed her arms under her chest and said with a solemn gaze.

"I-I d-d-don't know.... B-but I su-su..." but she never gave up, "su-su... support them!" 

'I did it! How's that? Intimidated, are you?' she proudly smiled and looked at Avion who was staying back at her.

'Why does she speak like that? Hmm... Back then I still stutter, but Darea did this to me when I just became her slave...' Avion them placed both his palm on her cheeks and lightly slapped it, "Have more confidence."

"E-eh?" not just fear but Sheran also felt confused.

"If you are going to talk like that, no one is going to respect you." Avion repeated what Darea said to him before.

And that struck a chord within the dragon lady, 'No one is going to respect me?'

'What's happening now?' Gamon looked with interest.

"Now, repeat what you said without stuttering." Avion massaged her cheeks before lightly slapping them again.

"..." feeling Avion's determined gaze, Dragonian Sheran felt cornered, "I-I..."

"Again!" he lightly slapped both hands. Even if he punches her at full force, the dragon lady wouldn't feel anything while he will be left with a broken fist.

"I d-don't know!"

"Continue!"

"I don't know but... I-"

"No pause!"

"I don't know but I support them!"

"Good! Who do you support!?"

"I support Gamon's love!"

Avion smiled and slightly slapped again, evidently enjoying what he is doing, "Who is Gamon's love and why do you support it!?"

"I support Gamon's love to Galion Romen. I support it because love is love and even if it's disgusting, he is my subordinate and I should support him!"

Avion then clapped his hands, "You did it! No one can disrespect you now!"

Dragonian Sheran looked at him while sweating and haggardly breathing, 'Huh? He's happy for me? Everyone's been belittling me and even though they talk to me, I know that they don't take me seriously... but Avion is happy for my success?'
