Once they returned the inn, Aria told them to go ahead to their room because she wanted to speak with her uncle but before they left, Sebastian approached with a weird expression on his face, he doubted for a second before speaking.
"Young man there is a guest that wants to see you but…".
After hearing Aria's uncle Alice looked at Aster with a suspicious expression.
"Don't tell you tricked another girl?".
Aria didn't like to be included in the "tricked girl" category but she agreed with Alice on the part of interrogating Aster so of course she didn't miss the chance to add more salt to the wound.
"If you dare to bring more girls to my inn then you will sleep on the floor for a week understood?
Aster felt aggrieved "Ughh how co these two seem to be on the sa channel every ti they want to scold " he wondered, but this ti he was innocent so he defended himself.
"Co on ladies, I have been with at least one of you every day so how will I be able to go and et anyone else?".
Sebastian saw Aster's predicant and he thought, "Haizz, it's so good to be young hahaha", but he decided to interfere before his niece misunderstood what he was trying to say.
"Calm down please, the person waiting to see him is a man"
After hearing him both Alice and Aria relaxed a bit and Aster didn't know if he should cry or laugh, "Uncle you should have said that from the beginning, these two are still too sensitive due to what happened last night", he thought.
Sebastian guided them to his office but when he opened the door, he saw Aster manifesting his soul idol while pointing at the person that was sitting on the couch who turned out to be… Kail Rein?
Alice stopped Aster from attacking but she still looked at Kail with a hostile expression before asking.
"What are you doing here?".
Then sothing that never expected happened, Kail bowed his head before saying in a humble voice.
"I ca here to apologize about my past actions and beg for your forgiveness"
All the people in the room reacted the sa way.
"Huh?".
Aster released his sword and he sat on the couch in front of Kail, Alice and Aria naturally sat at his sides while Sebastian decided to leave, whatever was happening he felt it was beyond his comprehension.
After a mont of contemplation Aster spoke.
"Why should we believe what you are saying?".
Kail was a bit relieved that at least he was given the chance to explain himself, while he was waiting, he imagined the possible results of what he was doing and there was a big possibility that the other party will ignore him before kicking him out or maybe this ti his life will not be spared anymore.
He took out a few things from his spatial ring and respectfully put them on the table.
"I know I have offended you before and that is why I brought the best treasures I had as a sign of good will" he then proceeded to explain what were those things and their uses, there was a box with 300 spiritual stones, a little bottle that contained a special healing potion that would also boost the cultivation of the person that used it in a stage as long as they were below the star axys realm and finally a black worn out book.
"Please accept these humble gifts from and allow to recognize you as my boss".
Aster was in awe this was sothing he didn't expect to happen, this ti Aria decided to ask.
"Humph do you think that you can co in here, give us so treasures expect us to forgive you for the things you have done?".
Kail bowed his head towards Aria before replying.
"Please calm your anger young miss, of course I know that right now I'm not trustworthy so… I'm willing to do a soul oath using my life as a warrant and with the heavens as witnesses to assure you that I will never do anything to harm you on any way, how about it?".
Just as the heavens gave blessings, they also punished people, doing a soul oath with the heavens as witnesses ant that there was no way to evade the punishnt if you tried to go against the oath.
Aster was considering accepting Kail as his subordinate, it is not like he has forgiven him for what he has done but once they leave this planet Aria's father and uncle will probably stay here so if he left Kail and made sure that the Rein family beca their backing he would not have to worry about them.
While Aster was wondering what was Kail's objective his eyes got attracted to the worn-out book and he felt his heart beating faster for so reason, he woke up from his trance because he heard Alice asking.
"To be honest I don't care whether my brother kills you or take you as his lackey, but I don't believe you are willing to beco soone´s servant for nothing so what is your objective?".
Kail felt a bit weird hearing the words "lackey" and "servant" but he still answered with a calm expression.
"The only thing I want is for you to help beco the patriarch of my family, of course I will use all the resources that the Rein family has to help you in any way you might need".
Aster laughed out loud.
"So basically, you want to ride on the dragon´s back?".
Kail knew this was probably the last question and he actually kneeled down before answering.
"I'd rather be in the hands of the devil than on its way, I know that for you it's an easy task to kill so instead of resisting why not try to be on your good books?".
Aster smiled.
"Nice answer, but this decision will be for Aria and Alice to take, after all they were the ones, you tried to harm before so I have no right to speak for them in this matter".
After saying that he leaned back on the couch and waited for their answer, Kail felt a bit of panic he has gotten so far but his destiny was now on the hands of the girls that he tried to poison, he bowed his head while still on his knees and speaking to Aria.
"I know that what I did was horrible, I'm willing to receive any punishnt the young miss might want to give , it might be a bit late to say this but what happened on the restaurant was due to Kayla's orders, I'm not excusing myself nor I'm trying to avoid my punishnt but it is the truth".
Aria sighed before turning to see Aster and nodding.
"Fine, do whatever you want".
