ALL NOVEL Helping her male God!
**Knock**
"It's me, sir. Austin."
As he informed, the person on the other side replied in affirmation to enter before Austin twisted the doorknob and gave space for the lady to enter first.
"Oh my~ Thank you, Sir Austin."
Closing the door on his back, Austin saw the two prominent faces greeting each other before he walked to the center and offered his own greetings.
"Thanks for making time for me, headmaster."
Undoubtedly the Grandmaster of Eden Academy, who plays various roles in the upper echelon of Gram, too, doesn't stay leisurely in general.
Upon hearing Austin, Headmaster smiled warmly as he replied, "No, it's quite acceptable. Instead, I wanted to meet Austin too, to extend my gratitude."
Merlin twirled his finger before a teapot, and a plate of confections got served on the table. Preparing the tea, the white beard continued speaking.
"It would not be appropriate for me to say, but in all honesty…the things you, Luna, and Saya-san have taught the people in the academy…I might not have even reached there in all three years. Or to say, I myself don't know various things which my students now know. You brought them to such a stage that I could never have. I know it won't be much, but if in case you need my support, then, please don't hesitate, Austin."
As the old man concluded, the freshly brewed herbal tea, which had a strong aroma, invited the princess to taste it instantly.
Seeing the impatience from the all-time composed princess, Austin couldn't help but smile since the gesture was quite familiar to him.
"Is something the matter, Sir Austin?"
Tiara perplexedly tilted her head, but Austin just shook his head and looked forward to the headmaster.
"Regarding that. I was expecting favor from you, headmaster, and that's the reason I came today. "
Tiara sipped crisply as she looked at the scene with curiosity filling her gaze. On the other side, Merlin also brought his attention toward the young man as he nodded for him to continue.
Taking the tea, Austin took a sip, and indeed it had a peculiar taste of herbs. Placing the cup on the saucer, he spoke the rest of his words.
"I want to venture the Abyss."
*Klrk**
"Sumimase."
Tiara's cup made an audible sound since Austin's words made her incredibly startled. The same reaction was expressed by the bearded man, too, as he looked at the blond boy in astonishment.
The place Austin mentioned was undoubtedly the labyrinth hidden under their feet. The only place where even Merlin frets to dwell and the pandora's box, which has the world's knowledge-shattering beings hidden.
Even Emperor William had halted every matter concerning the ancient wormhole, which his predecessors also didn't leave any information about.
Despite being so near to them, the labyrinth is entirely mysterious up to the date.
"I won't ask the reason, nor would I encourage such a dangerous notion, but to let you inside the labyrinth, it would require official permission from the Majesty himself. I might send a letter to request approval, but there's no guarantee of how much time a response will arrive. May days, weeks, or even months wouldn't be surprising."
It was undoubtedly a matter which would require a thorough inspection and analysis before Emperor William would conclude.
And there was the uncertainty of acceptance for Austin's proposal too.
"Damn! Only if there would have a faster method."
Clenching his fist in annoyance, Austin muttered under his gritted teeth since he didn't want to prolong this trip any longer due to specific reasons.
"There is nothing I can do about it, Austin. I am sorry."
Merlin also resigned calmly since he couldn't force the Majesty to do anything in haste, nor he had the authority to let Austin dive into the wormhole without any permission.
At times of hopelessness, suddenly, a voice lightened the expectancy.
"Please rely on me, Sir Austin."
Suddenly a determined voice belonging to the eldest princess of Gram, Tiara, resonated before she assured her dejected male god.
"I will discuss this with my father and get you the acceptance within three days. You might be asked to meet my brother Mikhail first, but I assure you, I will not let this wish of yours get postponed any longer."
Her voice contained a strange glint of resolve like it had become a mission to accomplish so she could make her beloved happy.
Austin grinned as he thanked his fortune that Tiara bumped at such a golden hour, and as he expected, she would help him get her father's consent.
On the other side, Tiara, along with being resolute, had elation filling her inside as it was her first chance to be beneficial to Austin.
Turning toward the lady with a bright smile, which made the receiver's breath choke, Austin spoke his gratitude as he held her hand gently.
"I will never forget this favor of yours, princess. Thank you for the generosity you bestowed."

[9.13 p.m]
[Austin's dorm room]
"So, Onii-sama is going to venture in the abyss in the upcoming four days, and he wants my assistance. Of course, I am on it. Why is Onii-sama even asking."
Saya spoke in a tone that said there wasn't any room for hesitation. She had a hunch, and now when she finally got her brother's confirmation, she wasn't going to let him dwell in such a dangerous place alone.
Austin smiled as he expected such a response but still hearing his sister's strong words made him feel how quickly she has grown up.
"Try to keep your paws away from my husband, okay? If he gets dirtied because of you, I will spank you until it's red."
Luna, who was currently sitting in Austin's lap, growled while glaring at the raven-haired girl, much to Austin's perplexion.
Saya smirked for a blink before she made an innocent face and spoke in bafflement.
"I don't know what are you talking about.."
With a 'Hmph! ' the annoyed saintess turned her head and dipped her face in her favorite warmth, and while she was at it, she took Austin's hand and put it over her head.
Yes, she's spoilt! So what!?
"Onii-sama… if mana doesn't work there…won't that go for mana-potions too? Not to talk about medic and storage."
Austin held his sister's hand while patting his lover before he helped her calm down.
"It's okay, Saya. Nii-chan got everything sorted."
