Sacrifice: Time of Mine

Chapter 75: The Princess' Favor

"Princess, the bounty board had been revealed and is now in effect. The Riskers in Gon Butcher Guild were now in a mess." Edora reported.

Princess Alisera had her chin high up, "They told me that 1 cren wouldn't be enough to make the people want to capture Avion." she then laughed, "Well, they were wrong!" she was proud of herself.

Her bright clear eyes were gazing over the capital that was in turmoil. Riskers were not the only ones who can capture Avion and collect the reward, it was for everyone. Even a child can get the reward as long as they have successfully captured Avion.

Soon, the turmoil spread over the whole capital. Many were talking about it. Men had been daydreaming about making a favor out of the princess.

Due to a certain agreement between the three kingdoms, marriage between them was not possible.

For one, if any of the two was tied to marriage, the third one that was left out will feel the pressure. Conflict may arise from fear of betrayal and war. For two, it's not like any of the royal couples have control over whether they bore a girl or a boy so having equal marriage between the three was also not possible. Finally, the royal couples do not copulate like rabbits. Furthermore, concubines were rare since the ruler will pick the strongest warrior, of course, of the opposite sex for them to marry.

Meaning, it should be the Guild Master that has the highest chance of courting the princess. However, it all boils down to the princess's decisions. If she chose to conserve a strong bloodline, she would marry the Guild Master or anyone who is as strong as him. But if she didn't care which is expected from the spoiled princess, then she will pick the one who took most of her liking. Maybe, she can even make a harem!

This, the men didn't mind. As long as they got into the royal family, that would become the biggest accomplishments of their life. Filled with ambitions and motivations, all the men that heard this went to search for Avion.

"Such a thing is happening?"

"Yeah, in the day the princess arrived, I heard that she was slapped by Avion Teller."

"Oh my... so that's why the princess wanted to capture him alive, maybe she wants to torture him."

"So capturing Avion Teller will gain the princess' favor. But why 1 cren?"

"Are you stupid!? That reward is just for formality. The real reward is the princess' favor. If the reward money is high then the princess would deem the favor as paid, the connection will be cut. I would rather have a chance with the princess than a mountain of gold!"

"Woah, you're smart."

"Yeah, I just heard it from others."

These were the rumors that were going on behind the mysterious 1 cren reward. However, the truth was, Princess Alisera was oblivious to this. She just thought that she would start small then if it's ignored, she would raise it little by little. She was absolutely petty!

"But then, that Avion Teller could escape the King of Karan so capturing him is an Elementalists' job."

"You never know, we may find him weakened after escaping everyone's pursuit and get the reward for ourselves."

"You're right, let go buy some net and sack!"

The shops that were selling hunting materials were overjoyed to see people surging in. If only they knew, they would have raised their stocks but they were still joyful seeing that their shop is empty, the goods were sold out.

"Damn it, Avion is in big trouble!" Naron was running while carrying the fat Fobo which greatly slowed him down as he perspired. He was not an Elementalist.

"My ass feel cold and ashamed." as they run, women would shriek for seeing a fat crack on a burly man's shoulder.

"We've got to found Temon first, where did that idiot go to?!"

Meanwhile, Mettany went out of the guild, whispering to herself, "Why didn't they just ask me first?" 

She too felt that the capital would be turned upside down for a while. Avion, after all, is hard to catch. However, he still has one weakness.

After always thinking about him day and night, Mettany found this weakness. That is, once Avion was bind or held, he had no way of escape.

This made her worry. She didn't know Princess Alisera's true intentions. She just knows that Avion slapped the princess in front of the public and even offended the king of Karan.

Once Avion comes back shortly after, mobs will form to capture him. Although Avion can disappear and appear in an instant to wherever he wants to, what if he made a mistake and was caught in that instant?

The best method was for him to stay out of the capital for a while. Thinking about this, Mettany found the best method as she smiled widely while having a daydream, 'Elopement, yes!'

Outside the capital, not knowing that there was something big happening, Avion and the Guild Master were outside, exploring the control of time's power.

It was only for a short while before the Guild Master dropped on the ground as he held his broken nose, bleeding. He didn't mind it but rather, he was shocked with a tint of happiness growing within him.

"Guild Master, I'm super hunger." Avion held his stomach in pain while he curled, "I need food... food... if you don't give me food, I will die!" he begged, enduring the hunger pang instead of reverting his body back to when it was still full. He was extremely adamant and resilient in his choice.

At that moment, he looked like he just ran around the whole country of Haliviana without stopping. Avion was currently bathed in sweat. His extraordinary clothes still looked as new but his state was too pitiful.

"Why didn't you stop midway then?" the Guild Master then stood up as he carried Avion.

"You said I should break your nose so I didn't stop until I broke it." Avion also held his fists that were bleeding, it was skinned.

"I didn't say a thing!"
