122 Concern, Sorrow, and Regret

-----

In a large medieval Japanese-styled palace, a beautiful woman sat down, surrounded by several old men kneeling around her in reverence.

Her Aura exuded an air of divinity and brightness, comparable to that of the sun itself, if she stayed still, she would look more like a majestic statue, yet she was a person.

Although someone with Divine Power was not a normal person at all.

"We apologize! This is… our fault!"

"We have been too irresponsible!"

"We could not act in time, we thought that we could do things slowly with the kid…!"

"To think that… He…"

"We deeply apologize, Great Ancestor-sama!"

"Please, take any punishment against us, our irresponsibility as clan elders provoked this to happen to the kid…!"

The old men, namely the Clan Elders of the Monk Clan, kneeled over their Great Ancestor, the descendant of Amaterasu, the Japanese Goddess of the Sun.

However, the woman sitting in front of them smiled bitterly, waving her head.
