Sacrifice: Time of Mine
Chapter 19: History Pinpointed and the Shocking Revelation

"Umm... Sir Avion, the princess is calling you to get her." Mera said with evading eyes while she slowly steps back in a bashful manner.

"Why?" Avion asked with a kind smile.

Seeing that the girl in front of him was shy, he was taking the initiative.

"I don't know. She just wants you to get her."

Avion tilted his head but nodded, "Okay."

Mera then awkwardly bowed, "Then, please follow me, Sir Avion." she was a bit warry about him after what she saw earlier. She wanted to know what and how that happened but didn't dare so.

If that was known anywhere, there would be a riot while the majority will still doubt it. Edora was known for her toughness, perseverance, and mostly her pride. She kept a high chin even though she herself was a commoner.

However, strangely enough, she was liked by other commoners even though she acts like an arrogant noble.

On their way to Princess Alisera, Avion was looking at the ceiling they passed by and he asked, "What are those lights? Where are they coming from?"

From when he exited the door, there was only white light and it was not the color of a fire he always used back then.

Even the bashful Mera frowned at this as these lights were common knowledge to everyone except for those who grew up in the wilds or had lived their whole life in a cave.

"Sir Avion, I don't understand your question." she stopped to turn to him so as to be polite.

Noticing this, Avion walked beside her, he didn't necessarily have to follow her. There was just a straight path in the corridor. It was almost nauseating for Avion how big that building was.

Mera then continued to walk too, after which she heard;

"I mean the lights that we're seeing right now. What is the source of that?"

"Do you mean the lighting stones?"

"Lighting stones?" Avion quizzingly looked at her.

"Umm... you don't know about that?"

"I don't... what is it?"

Mera thought over this. Now that she was asked this question, how should she answer this? It was so common that it was never asked before, so no one knows how to exactly answer it except those who study it, and she was not one of them.

It was like a guest asking what is the light bulb in your house. How do you answer it?

Seeing that Avion was serious about his question and was waiting for her to answer, she thought about it and answered a few moments later, "It's an ore which its only effect is to turn energy into light. It is practically a converter of energy to light, that is why it is called a lighting stone...?" even she was unsure of her answer.

"Hmm..." Avion nodded at this but was still not satisfied, "What energy does it use?"

Having read tons of books, there was not a single passage that explains how this works. As it was mentioned, it was so common that none had the reason to explain it. If only there were books specifically about these kinds of things but no, what Avion only had was history books.

Mera blinked a few times before answering, still unsure, "Raw energy from people...?"

After hearing this, Avion's lit up, "Ohhh..." he calmly expressed as if he understood something.

"Does this era have Elementalists?"

Avion's question caught Mera off-guarded, "Eh..eh? Umm, yes..?" this fact was more common than the lighting stones.

With his squinted eyes, Avion nodded as he whispered, "Prince Harold... Edora... Princess Alisera... is this the country of Haliviana?"

Mera just nodded.

'So it's the Elemental Era. Since Prince Harold is still young, this must be in the year 430's or something. The Darea period when the Great Conqueress Darea will conquer the whole world and the Sovereign Heroes will rise to the top and Prince Harold was one of them.' Avion began to recall the passages from the history books he read, 'Prince Harold together with the Prismatic Three-Tailed Wolf, Dragonia Sheran, Might of Torge, and the Legendary Penta Elementalist, Gamo, they will create the Sovereign Heroes and try to stop Darea after her fifth year of world-rule. Prince Harold was still at Rank Dih when he was young but he suddenly surged in power, making him Rank Eses, the only Mono Elementalist to battle Darea toe to toe. Without him, Darea will defeat the Sovereign Heroes and will be successful in conquering the world. If that happened, she will just be bored and leave the world in anarchy which will be the era of Elementalists, slowly ending much earlier than what I read..'

After thinking about this, Avion felt a shiver of excitement. He was about to watch a great show from what he read. His cinematic experience will be the absolute best!

He thought as he continued to remember what he read.

'And the reason for his sudden surge of power was-'

"Princess Alisera, Sir Avion is here."

While being in deep thoughts, he and Mera had already arrived at the door from which Princess Alisera was groomed to prepare for her own welcome party.

As the door opened, what Avion saw made his cheeks reddened. It was like a goddess decided to descend into the mortal realm and visit the undeserved.

Inside was the majestic being inside her gracious velvet red dress, fitting her long pink hair. Every movement of her, her dress will follow with a twirl. It was striking in the eyes.

Her sweet smile made Avion a little bashful. The difference of her looks to now was a kilometer apart and she was already deemed as a doll-face when she arrived.

'The reason for Prince Harold's surge of power was because of Princess Alisera's death...'

Unknowingly, Avion will be put inside the story he had read about since he was a child.

In the multi-purpose hall of the Royal Mansion, there had been prepared musicians on the platform ready to create the atmosphere once guests arrive while the buffet on the table was a magnificent sight to see. It was as if every food made by the best chefs was there.

The setting and arrangement of the wide hall were relaxing to be in with yellowish lights from the lighting stones were lit. Servants were already waiting on the side, the host of the party at the middle, and the Royal Knights, including Edora who had a helmet on her head on their designated posts.

When the time had come, the door was opened and welcomed the first guest. It was a big man together with a woman with short pink hair.

Edora had her mouth agape at this sight.
