Chapter 35 (1/2)
Feelings at Eighteen
Sauro and Saikania were very happy to have been able to fly with Maki and Chiharu again Chiharu was able to fly much better than she had back at the castle, and they felt that traveling and groas the best thing for hued about flying far with Maki or about how much fun he had with Chiharu Maki and Chiharu were theirs
”Sauro You looked like you were having fun”
What a surprise It was Edwy He was standing in the shadow of the mansion's entrance
”Ah, yeah It is fun to fly with children”
”Yes But you never fleith any children besides me back in Midland Actually, you never had that ht? Maybe it rown since then”
”Huh But those children see with birdfolk is quite difficult”
”They were just really physically capable”
”The sly What's this? He seemed different today Then Edwy turned to Saikania
As if to defend the 'small one' the Edwy referred to, Saikania said,
”He was flying perfectly fine”
”There was a lot of flailing”
”No there wasn't!”
”I thought the kid would fall at any moment”
”Don't make fun of Chiharu like that! She has improved so much!”
Saikania…
It was hard for the birdfolk to trick people Sauro sighed and looked up at the sky
”Chiharu?”
Edwy laughed
”No-no-no Uh, Ryan Yes”
”Sauro?”
Edwy ignored Saikania as she frantically made excuses and looked at Sauro Sauro looked away Edwy continued
”I wonder what Aeris will say when he learns that you two have been hogging Maki and Chiharus and having all the fun”
”Wait!”
”What will happen?”
What will happen?
”Even when they have returned to the castle, they won't give you any information about Maki and Chiharu”
”But…”
He wasn't sure about Aeris, but the elves would definitely do that
”Of course, I won't tell you anything either”
”Edwy”
Sauro looked ashaht ere friends”
”I'm sorry But I couldn't betray Maki and Chiharu's trust I wanted to free the Saintesses who felt like they were being trapped”
”Sauro, have you, as the future chief, or even me, have we ever been free? People say that you do as you please, and I auise, but we are still bound by our duties as princes Maki and Chiharu were treated well at the castle”
”That's…”
That was true However
”Hey, Edwy I'm sorry But Maki and Chiharu did their duty by your country And they were brought here by force and made to work for this world We can't compare ourselves to them”
”I know! I know that, but I was so worried! And yet! You were all so carefree! And you yourself tried to take the!”
Sauro looked a little troubled as he patted Edwy on the shoulder There was no point in digging up the past This was the sadness of those without wings The Saintesses had often been so close by
”At least, Maki and Chiharu are noith our troops They are in your sight Isn't that fine?”
”It's not! You can go to them and say that you like children, but what excuse can a prince use to talk with sohed
”Kaider would have barged right in”
”That meathead!”
Kaider had left to become an Adventurer as soon as Edas born, and so they were not very close
”By the way, he said that they traveled together”
