Gaming Sword Magician

Chapter 143: Once upon a time

"No, how can I run away and leave my granddaughter alone in the hands of that monster? I am her godfather! Furthermore, if he wanted to kill us then we would already have died!" Yin Ye replied through the spiritual communication channel.

Even Birdy realized that it's the truth. If he wanted them death then they would certainly die without the ability to defend themselves.

They both cautiously stared at the golden-haired Dean, who said with a greedy smile,

"Old man, You are her guardian yet you are appearing just after she nearly died. If I wasn't here then she would have surely died. I helped her, healed her with my life force. You should be grateful yet you labeled me as a pervert and attacked with the intention to kill. How are you going to compensate me?!"

Realizing that he won't attack, their nerves calmed down, and understanding that they have misunderstood the situation, the two, human and spirit, stared at each other in the eyes.

Birdy thought: "It's better to have enemies than pig-like teammates!"

Yin Ye replied: "Don't worry. I will somehow resolve this conflict!"

His eyes moved towards Frankenstein, eyes thinning into a friendly smile, he said

"Forgive me, young friend. I have misunderstood you. I will compensate you with whatever you ask but can you tell me, just who are you, able to use Sword domain at such a young age,"

Frankenstein extended one of his hands and showed Yin Ye the blessing of twilight. He then said,

"We share the same mark yet you don't know me?"

Yin Ye's mouth gaped, eyes popped in surprise.

"There's only one person who could be this talented and is allied with the twilight spirits. Could it be, you are"

"Hehe, normally, I go by the name of Frankenstein but I was also once Crowned as the soon to be Emperor of flame, Nemredilth Nietsneknarf!"

Yin Ye was cut off in the middle of his sentence by Frankenstein, who was hugged tightly by the unconscious Laila. Even though she was unconscious, Laila had gripped his hand and shirt very tightly, thinking that Frankenstein was her mother who will die if she let go.

"Crown prince," The moment he revealed the truth of his identity, Yin Ye and birdy instantly turned respectful and beads of sweat start to form on their bodies. They were pressurized as they both have offended someone of a higher status.

Master Yin and Birdy didn't want to offend him or the twilight's spirit because of a misunderstanding, hence they tried to appear meek and friendly to resolve this situation here and now.

"The Crown Prince!"

Yin Ye and Birdy would normally not even respect the Emperors but they have to be respectful in front of the crown prince of flame. He was powerful enough to kill them, after all. Plus, everyone working under the twilight spirit and the members of the Twilight Walker department knows that the Twilight spirit princess is deeply in love with the crown prince of flame who mysteriously vanished off the face of the entire continent years ago.

"So he was hiding here!" Yin Ye and Birdy's half-kneeling gave a thoughtful look to each other.

Some also know that the princess of the twilight clan is engaged with him. If the situation worsens then even their guild might be in danger, hence they tried to pacify it instantly.

"No need to be so courteous. Drop the formalities and come here. Let's talk about compensation!" Frankenstein commanded.

Rushing forward, Yin Ye and Birdy stood before him.

"What would you like, I'm ready to give it to you!" Yin ye said.

Frankenstein smiled. He slightly lifted his snow-white arms and rubbed his slender fingers on the middle of his palm. He then pointed his forefinger at Birdy.

"Do you understand?" He asked.

"This" Yin Ye was shocked, so was Birdy. The golden-haired man was demanding Birdy as compensation.

They didn't dare to defy his order and hence hugged each other for one last time.

"Master, I will miss you," Birdy said while patting his back with its wings. However, it was very happy, 'I am so lucky, am going to finally get free from my poor master and become a rich man's contracted spirit!'

"Me too!" Yin replied while crying in its chest. However, the situation would have been different only if he knew what birdy was thinking.

He would have stabbed it!

After sharing their sad goodbye, Yin Ye canceled his contract with the beast, and instantly a drop of deep red bloodshot out from Frankenstein's hand and landed on its forehead.

"Eh?" Birdy mouth and eyes opened wide in surprise because it wasn't contracted to the rich, handsome, and powerful expert. It was contracted to Laila.

"What happened?" Yin Ye asked but Birdy was still in shock so it didn't reply.

The Dean crossed his legs and beamed a smile towards birdy. "I happen to like this student, she's very hardworking and caring and deserving of a reward. Birdy, protect her in my place. That's an order,"

'What dumb luck!' Birdy internally thought. Outwardly, its head was moving up and down, nodding in agreement.

Frankenstein's words, "That's an order" meant if you dare defy then I dare to cook you as my next dish, after all. Birdy believed that it was still too young to die so it followed his order.

And so, Shadow or Laila obtained a bird from the spirit world as her pet!

Yin Ye, on the other hand, was very happy. At first, he was very sad at losing the spirit world beast he raised and fed. However, he was now happy as his granddaughter was the one that benefited in the end.

"Thank you, your highness, for bestowing a gift to my granddaughter, Lord Ze and Lord Yi will surely be happy if they know about this," he said to Frankenstein, who was showing extreme favoritism to Laila.

"Not a big deal," He replied calmly.

After expressing his gratitude, Master Yin Ye asked with a face full of worries, "Can I check her conditions?"
