Sacrifice: Time of Mine

"Stop"

Upon hearing the princess' voice, the knight stopped and controlled his anger. He could never let his emotions hinder his duty as a royal knight; to serve and protect the royal family.

They waited for her orders until the princess said, "Who are you really?"

Meanwhile, the royal guards still had their weapons unsheathed. From what they saw, this kid does definitely have some abilities, and with the ability to "teleport", their princess' safety can easily be broken in just a blink of an eye, so they were currently extremely warry.

They no longer saw Avion as harmless.

Avion Teller thought for a while, what additional introduction can he give? He had this kind of pride that forbid him from saying that he is the son of the Lord Sorcerer of Time.

He didn't want to be known as the son of the Lord Sorcerer of Time. But it would be awesome to hear people call his father the father of Avion Teller.

However, in the first place, does this world even know his father?

Avion knew he wasn't really brought to another world but in the same world, yet in a different era. Assumedly, in the far past since he had read books about this back in the library.

Houses made out of rocks and countless people living together, forming a common known "society" If he was really brought to the past then he should know where he is.

"Before I tell more about myself, I want to ask first." Avion talked indifferently as he looked at the princess, but there was still this mysterious force that kept his gaze moving down.

The princes, Princess Alisera frowned upon hearing this as the female captain knight shouted, "Answer the princess' question first!"

"No"

"What?"

"I said no, I want to ask first." Avion boldly said.

"Eh?" the people reacted. How much this kid will go further to endanger himself? Although he is mysterious, he shouldn't be so bold in front of the princess.

Princess Alisera began to pout and the female knight captain started to get worried as she whispered, "Princess, maybe this man also had high standing. Now that I notice, he's wearing something a low commoner wouldn't be able to afford."

What Avion was wearing right then was an outfit his father wore back in the days and passed it to him. You could say, this was also part of the inheritance. His outfit was more modern than what that time would usually wear.

Even the royalties and nobles don't have any such clothing.

Avion was currently clad in black, white, and gray large stripes with a high collar that covered his neck from all angles. Loose sleeves that stretched to his elbow and until it was another tight white sleeve covering up to his wrist. Below, he was wearing something like fit cotton extending to his mid-calf and white shoes with high dark orange socks.

It was unique and revolutionary, something designers wouldn't be able to imagine at that age.

From this, Princess Alisera nodded as she glanced at the female knight captain.

The female knight captain understood this glance as she got down to see Avion eye to eye and said, "I am sorry but can you please tell us your background first, Sir Avion?"

This made the crowd internally riot. How did capturing the kid turned to respectfully questioning him? The situation turned a full hundred and eighty degrees!

After receiving such a respectful tone by the captain of the royal guards of the Karan Kingdom, Edora Velvess, was enough to honor a commoner all their life!

A noble and a commoner just had too much gap between them that witnessing this made their jaws dropped.

In perspective, the whole kingdom will choose to sacrifice ten families of commoners just to save a baron, lowest of the noble hierarchy, without a second thought and none will even question it or even see wrong in it. Some will even demand to sacrifice eleven.

Feeling respected made Avion happy that he smiled and paused in consideration to answer, 'My background? In this case, I should tell them my occupation, right? Since I have my own land back there, I should be that, yes!' he then proudly answered with a confident tone;

"I am a farmer!"

"Capture him!"

The knight who felt humiliated earlier was the first to jumped forward and another three followed.

Avion was surprised when an "unexpected" reaction happened. He should be respected, he thought being a farmer was good and a humble job? Maybe he took a source from a different book.

However, just like last time, no one was able to capture him.

From watching the rumble that was happening in the middle of the road, the people were getting giddy. Their eyes were trying to follow Avion like a ball in a sports game, but the ball kept disappearing and appearing spontaneously everywhere!

However, with the knights' stamina and strength, they were getting faster and faster but against Avion's "cheating" abilities, they have no chance from the beginning.

Now that Avion can control the time of his body, he can revert it back to a minute ago when he was still full of energy. Meaning, he had infinite stamina if there is no limit to his power.

Seeing the chaos relentless, Princess Alisera finally had enough of it so she shouted again, "Stop!"

When this order entered the four knights' ears, they felt relieved so much that they wanted to fell on the ground and catch their breath. However, they didn't make it noticeable. Underneath their armors, body heat was radiating and they profusely sweated. Their pride as royal knights comes first.

"Avion Teller," Princess Alisera finally said Avion's name which shocked the people again and much more than before.

In perspective, the kingdom will sacrifice almost all of its resources to save the princess. And in this case, the King of Karan Kingdom will sacrifice his own entire kingdom to keep the princess safe.

What commoner had ever been called their full name by such a beautiful princess? They must be jumping in joy for months to come if any of them experienced this.

"I, Princess Alisera, invites you for a cup of tea this afternoon." without any thought behind, the princess said.

"Oh... thud*"

"Grandpa, wake up!" one child shouted as her grandpa was too shocked at what was happening that he fainted.

'Hmph! Now that you got invited by me, the prettiest princess you could ever find in the world, it's checkmate!'

"Princess..." the female knight guard, Edora whispered as she looked at her princes with a disappointed expression. How could a princess lower herself just to invite a farmer? Even if this farmer had a mysterious ability, it still shouldn't be enough to have a privilege to receive such a tone from the princess.

At this, Avion was keeping his best from lowering his gaze for some unknown cause so he didn't really care as he answered;

"Eh? But, I don't like tea."
