Capítulo 486: Champion

Tycondrius' proposal was, above-all, safe. 

With Athena's various accomplishments and with the strength of Guild Letalis, the accrual of prestige and influence was guaranteed. Biding their time was a course of action that behooved a leader of a noble house... 

It would also be excruciating and unsatisfying until the time of reckoning. Adventurers were more used to brash, emotional reactions... one that gained them immediate benefits, as opposed to long-term. 

Could the young Athena realize that? Could she trust in her abilities and in her stable support, enough to look to the future instead of the present? 

"I-- I can't believe you!!" Athena roared again in her tiny voice... and she stomped towards the exit. 

The answer seemed to be a resounding no. 

Athena opened and closed the door politely as she left. 

He could at least appreciate that, even in her anger, she kept proper etiquette.
