Chapter 429 - The Newly Risen Atlantia (2) (2/2)

”Mine is done earlier.” I replied. ”I helped Tricia with the twin's luggages do that we can be done faster.”

”That is good.” Regaleon said. ”But I am going to miss you.” He said with a sad voice.

”Can you not come with us?” I asked with a sad face.

”I am afraid not.” Regaleon replied. ”But I will be joinging you until the border of Alvannia. I can come back here on Tempest so it will ve much faster.”

”The sounds great.” I said with a smile. Even though he will not come with us all the way, at least I feel safe to know he will accompany us until the border of Alvannia.

”Dada... Dada...” Alphonse who discarded his milk bottle started to reach for Regaleon.

”It looks like my son would want to go to daddy.” Regaleon smiled sweetly to our son.

Tricia handed Alphonse to Regaleon and the little guy giggled in his father's arms. Seeing my father and son warmed my heart.

”Dimitri will be escorting you all the way.” Regaleon said. ”I also selected the best soldiers from the special unit to be your escorts along the trip. I am confident in their strength and skills. We do not know what dangers are there along the way. It is best to be prepared.”

With little rebellions still lurking in the shadows, Regaleon is just being careful. The special unit it the unit that consists of Atlantian magic users that are good with their job.

”Our first destination is Alvannia.” I said. ”I ak sure there is notthing to worry about.”

”We won't know.” Regaleon said. ”It is better to be safe.”

Our departure is tomorrow morning. Knowing that it is so soon makes me excited. I am happy to go and see my home country of Alvannia once more.

Next morning came and our group is ready to set on our trip to Alvannia. As Regaleon have said yesterday, he would accompany us until the borders of Alvannia. After there, the escorts that were hand picked by Regaelon would be the one to guard us all the way to our first destination which is the capital of Alvannia.

”Everything is ready, your majesties.” William informed us.

William will be coming with us as my personal knight. He will be leaving his post as the captain of the imperial knights to his vice captain until he returns.

”Thank you, Will.” I replied.

”Then let us go.” Regaleon extended his hand to escort me inside the carriage. I acceptedf it and let him escort me.

Inside the carriage, the twins are sleeping peacefully in their crib. The time is still early and they fell asleep after getting ready for the trip.

”It looks like we will be very busy later once they wake up.” Regaleon said with a smile.

”That is the joy of parenting.” I joked and giggled.

They will surely show a tantrum or two later as the journey progresses, but Regaleon and I have been used to it that it does not bother us that much.

”Let us depart!” Regaleon gave the order and our group started to move from the palace.

Not long, we get past the gates of the palace and is now moving along the streets of the capital.

”The trip to the border will take at least two to three days.” Regaleon replied. ”I am sure that there will be no incidents while we are inside Grandcrest territory.” He confidently said.

Grandcrest is the hart of the empire. Regaleon had worked hard to establish it as a peaceful ad prosperous kingdom even before the foundation of the Astley Empire. He is quite sure of the safety inside this known borders.

”I am sure that Alvannia is quite safe as well.” I said with a smile. ”Richard is working hard to make it so.”

”I am sure he has.” Regaleon replied. ”With his grandfather Robert as an advisor, I am sure that Alvannia is walking in the right path. But Richard just got to his position not long ago and it is too early to tell. It is better to be safe.”

”Do not worry to much my love.” I held his hand to assure him. ”We are going to be fine. With this many soldiers as escorts, everything will be fine.” I smiled.

”I cannot help but worry.” Regaleon kissed the back of my hand sweetly. ”This is the first time since a long time that you and the twins will be apart from me. I will miss you dearly.”

”And I as well.” I said with a sad face. ”But as you promised, you will visit us from time to time, right?”

”Of course.” Regaleon smiled. ”How could I last long being apart from you and our children?”

Regaleon's face got nearer and he planted a sweet kiss on my lips.. This is one of the gestures I will miss while we are apart.
