208 BRAVE NEW WORLD (4)

Everyone knows Aero of the East, the Chancellor of one of the most powerful nation on the Eastern region and the hero who devises the strategy to take down Vetten and bring Vanheim to an age of prosperity and power.

Why would Aero of the East debase himself when he himself is a domineering character of the era?

That is why Aero gambled on that reputation to assure Zeus of his sincerity

The more he acted like himself, the less suspicion that other had on him. If he acted too humble, then Eric might have surmised he knew about their secret plot.

If he acted too domineering, Zeus might lose his temper and execute him anyway. There is a fine line he must thread to get out of Veva successfully at that time.

He needs to only wait for one hour.

The moment that Sword lost its effectiveness, he could go away without anyone stopping him unless the Gods of Olympus themselves come down from their godly abode.
