With every second I could feel my grip on my thoughts losing.
For some reason every bit of my being wanted to serve the beautiful woman in front of myself.
But I knew I could not let it happen.
I felt something grabbing me.
Looking back, I saw the two wardens, the same statues that were standing next to the throne grabbing me by my shoulders and getting me up.
One of them also had now a firm grip on my head, held exactly so that I could see the goddess in front of me
She repeated her question again.
And again I had the wish of just letting it go.
I really wanted to tell her about Voron.
But I knew I couldn't.
I shouldn't under any circumstances.
From what Voron told me, the he was imprisoned there because of something really bad.
Who knew what would happen to me if she knew I talked to him?
After just a moment I said the first thing that came to mind.
I answered: "... books"
"I think I was here already. In this place."
"You have a library here. About 100 steps from my current position next to a fireplace. I studied your books during my last visit."
Yeah, it would be if I could.
"I don't know."
"Of course"
"What?"
Take it.
Accept it.
Do it.
Take it!
Serve her.
ACCEPT
…
"Before we continue, why me?"
"Why do you wish me to become your champion. I mean, look at me. I am clearly not worthy of standing next to you."
"I mean, I can clearly do that without pledging eternal servitude to you"
"No, nononononono, of course not. I am clearly not worthy for that yet. I still need to think about your proposal."
"So, what do I need to do on that other world?"
"Really, then I can do just that"
Oh, the bliss.
I can already see myself there, next to her.
By completing the task in such a way that absolutely baffles her so much that she would fall in love with me.
After realizing that that Champion of hers was nothing but useless, and me doing the entire work for him, she would promote me to her closest person.
I, her advisor.
Her helper.
Maybe Lover.
And possibly her future husband.
Waaa.
…
Wait, why am I thinking of such things?
Are these even my own thoughts?
"…Yes, I am. I will complete your given task if you forgive me."
…
What happened next was something similar as when I left Voron.
I was now falling down into the darkness, but this time accompanied by a familiar ball of light.
Funny isn't it.
I am sure that whatever happens now, nothing could be a bad as my experience of the past millennia.
Who knows? Maybe I am the actual main protagonist of this story?
Ohohoho, that's just great.
Everything will be just fine.
