YM778.TV Chapter 254 Proposal
It seemed that Aion\'s ancestors didn\'t believe that all of them would be worthy of having the relics in their hands. She had quite the insight if she managed to consider that something like the Mirellis kingdom would be born, and one day, her descendants would try to dominate the world…
Apparently, the tower was on another island that no one could access. At least most people couldn\'t. The goddess also cast a massive spell on the area that created an everlasting storm. Those that tried to approach it either sunk down or were repelled by the storm.
In any case, the group had to walk for six hours before Aion was finally mostly healed. After that, they flew using an earth platform. Thanks to Seris creations, the cold was no longer a problem for them, and they reached the coast after two days, and two days later, the crew of the breeze of the sea finally appeared.
"I missed you, sweetheart," Sauros said while caressing the side of the ship.
Seris rolled her eyes since she sometimes couldn\'t understand her brother, and Aion just headed to his cabin. She watched him the whole time, Seris also didn\'t believe that their actions were a mistake, but it was clear that such a thing put a rift between them.
"What are we going to do about this?" Seris asked.
"You know how serious a person he can be, and there isn\'t a single thing we can do about it," Sauros replied. "I know that he doesn\'t have friends because of his goal and one-track mind, and we were the closest thing to that, but in the end, he can throw everything aside for his goal."
"Did you try to talk to him?" Seris asked.
"I tried, but it didn\'t work," Sauros replied. "I can\'t blame him, though."
Seris sighed… those two are such a pain in the ass. She could understand their points since they had their goals and many responsibilities. Still, it was annoying because they couldn\'t find, or rather, they didn\'t want to find, a middle ground between their goals and the other things that they had in their lives.
In any case, after unpacking her things, Seris went to talk with Aion in his cabin; she found it locked, though.
"Open up. We need to talk," Seris said.
"I am busy. Come back later," Aion said.
"It will be quick," Seris insisted.
"Now isn\'t a good time," Aion said.
"Sorry, but I am entering," Seris said and then used a trick to unlock the door since she had designed it.
"I told you that it wasn\'t a good time," Aion said while smiling butt-naked.
"... Why are you smiling?" Seris frowned.
"Just a bit of psychology in action. You will understand that later," Aion said.
Seris sighed and then left the room and wanted for Aion to put some clothes on. Hearing the sound of clothes only made the image echo in her head, and that troubled her a little.
"I am ready now," Aion opened the door and then smiled.
Now she understood what he meant… when she saw his smile, the image became even more vivid in her head. It will take a while to forget about it.
"It seems that you are back to your usual, nonsensical self," Seris said.
"It seems that you aren\'t impressed, even though I am above the middle tier when it comes to size," Aion said. "You must have seen bigger ones, but I didn\'t take you as that kind of woman."
"Let\'s drop this subject," Seris said and then sighed. "I have come to talk about what happened and about the things my family does."
"There is nothing to talk about or explain. You guys do your things and keep doing as usual," Aion said. "I will do the same, but just like I told your brother, I will probably become your guy\'s enemy if it causes problems for me in the future."
"It would be better if we don\'t reach that kind of situation," Seris said. "Personally, I am not much of a fan of tradition. Most of the time is fine, but sometimes it is rather detrimental. That is why I always want to find a middle ground."
"Get to the point," Aion said.
"I don\'t want us to become enemies, and maybe while we can\'t become friends, I at least want us to become allies," Seris said.
"That wouldn\'t benefit me in any way," Aion said. "Whatever you might want to offer to me, it can\'t be compared to what I want and how you guys can become a nuisance to my goal."
"I don\'t believe that is true, and we have countless books that register events about the past. We have the knowledge of the runes, and we also have the registers about how time magic was used and can be used," Seris said. "All of that, you will have access if you promise not to become our enemy."
"Nah, I am fine," Aion said. "I don\'t want to promise anything to the people that kept so many things hidden from me. I was willing to reveal some of my secrets as well, and I even revealed others, but I don\'t want to trust you guys anymore."
"I can understand your worries, but this will be more than just a verbal agreement," Seris said. "This may come out at a weird time, but I am already twenty-six, and I guess it is time for me find to find the right partner. I believe that you could be the right person."
"... I am speechless," Aion said. "You guys really must be pretty messed up in the head. Or maybe it is just me, and this is place is just like this."
"... What do you mean by that?" Seris asked after frowning.
"I heard about how you guys procreate and then leave your partners while taking the children, I didn\'t think too much about that, but I guess I get it now," Aion said. "You guys only see people that don\'t have your blood as a tool to keep yourselves growing and working on your mission. Sorry, but you will have to find another fool for that. My kids won\'t become a piece in your game."
