"You! Explain how your memory remains intact when it should be erased with the timeline reset! Speak the truth, young master Marcus!" the Library Guardian boomed, voice heavy with accusation.
Marcus burst into laughter. "What will you do if I confess? Punish me like Aurelia? How? You lack the power now, the heir is absent from the Heavenly Realm. Without the heir, without the Supreme God, how can a mere Superior wield punishment?"
The Library Guardian narrowed his eyes. "So, you admit to transgressions worthy of such punishment?"
"Of course," Marcus spat. "When I pleaded for her freedom, for her forgiveness, no one listened. Why should I adhere to these celestial rules? Why follow their absurdity when neither Supreme God nor heavenly Superior stands in my way?"
"Tell me what you did!" the Guardian demanded.
