Chapter 886 Agatha's Guilt

　　Time- 11:08

　　Location- Sky Blossom City, Airstrip

　　"Sigh, the old bastard has finally left," Agatha's sigh sounded in my mind. 

　　"You sure you are a semi-demigod? How can you act so timid in front of a card emperor? What did demigod Windsor see in you to choose you as his only daughter's retainer/ bodyguard? I cannot wrap my mind around it," I asked Agatha infuriated over the fact that she abandoned me in old Lorenzo's presence. 

　　"Wyatt, I'm sorry. It is not about strength. I am not afraid of senior Lorenzo but of the position, he holds in the southern royal palace. If it were princess Aba in your place I would not hesitate to fight to the last breath as you are they would be taunting the authority of my master demigod Windsor," Agatha tried to defend that she was a real semi-demigod saying that the things were different if it was Aba who getting humiliated. So basically what she meant was I was not worth enough for her to go through the trouble of confronting old Lorenze worrying that it would strain the relationships between demigod Windsor and the southern royal family. Though Agatha was saying that she had her priorities she did not deny the fact that she was a horrible bodyguard. 

　　Seeing me remain silent despite her explanation, Agatha spoke again asking, "So we good?" 

　　"No, shut up. And don't speak with me until it is something important or I ask you to," I had every reason to be mad at Agatha and she knew that therefore she cared for my opinion of her. 

　　"Hey, come on. Don't be like that. Even though I am your part-time bodyguard I am a full-time retainer of demigod Windsor. I don't have the luxury to knowingly act against the interest of demigod Windsor. Please understand, if you were in my shoes you would have done the same," Agatha argued. 

　　"Nope, I would have done my duty even if it was just a part-time gig. And demigod Windsor would have appreciated me for that," I said with a disband for Agatha's words. What she meant was that since this was a part-time gig it did it was okay for her to half-ass it by worrying about her full-time gig. If it was some miscellaneous job I would have agreed with her but today she was a bodyguard, a person's life depended on her decisions and actions. No matter what reasons she comes up with it would not justify what she did not do earlier. 

　　"Are you serious right now? Do you think life is some kind of fairy tale? Where you are awarded for doing the right thing in every damn situation? Then I have overestimated your maturity," Seeing that reasoning with her young protectee was not working she decided to use the aged-old taunting technique used by all the bullies to get away with a lot of shit, that was to make the victim feel guilty about feeling like a victim. 

　　"Agatha, just shut up. If you feel what you did was right then there is no need for you to explain yourself to me. But seeing how you are going out of your way to persuade me that what you was right I believe you, yourself, feel guilty about what you did and want to feel better about yourself and what you did by convincing me that what you did was justified. 

　　I will never fall for those silly taunts of yours because what you think of me doesn't matter. So let me help you to save myself some future trouble. What you did was not right and whatever you do now will not change it, so stop pestering me just to get over your sense of guilt. Let go or learn to live with it," Saying that I headed into the carrier only to be taken aback by its luxurious interior, it was like walking into a high-end bar where they charge you several dollars just for a glass of water. There was even a jazz band playing in one corner. I have been on many private planes back on earth but non came could match this. The carrier felt more like a yacht or a cruise than a plane. 

　　As I admired the fancy decoration of the carrier, Rami soon made his way to me saying, "Master Wyatt, I am sorry about earlier. I should have spoken out of turn." 

　　"Make sure you don't mack a habit of this," I said eyeing Rami, and then added, "Show me to my cabin, I want to rest." 

　　"Yes, master Wyatt. The VIP cabins are on the deck, let me lead the way," Then I followed Rami to my cabin. Which was breathtaking with a big glass wall giving me a spectacular view of the outside. 

　　"Master Wyatt, I will come to get you when we reach the sun blossom city, so please rest comfortably," with that Rami showed himself out while I slumped down on the big mattress, unable to remember when was the last time my back touched a bed. 

　　But it seems I was not fated to sleep yet as Agatha's voice sounded opening my shut eyes, "Wyatt," Agatha called out to me. I wanted to ignore her but she was my bodyguard and no matter how mad I was at her ignoring the person meant to protect you would be foolish. So I answered her, "What is it?" 

　　"I don't think what I did was wrong but it was necessary. I should have done duty as your bodyguard but I failed to do so. Therefore I want to make it up to you," Agatha did not let go of her sense of guilt or learn to leave with it but continued to make it feel right. 

　　"Didn't I already tell you that nothing you do will change what you did," I repeated myself and decided to return to sleep. 

　　"What if I were to tell you the reason why senior Lorenzo was desperate for you to get the highest score in the array master certification in the central array master association as his disciple?"
