On the seventh day, Fruys was able to stand up

These days, I told his For instance, I told hi h there wasn't much money to be spoiled with But that carefree life had come to an abrupt end when ht I had to take care of my mo in our territory All of a sudden, the weight of ten thousand lives fell upon my shoulders

I always pretended that everything was under control, but the truth couldn't have been any further than that Truthfully, I was scared Every ti invaded and plundered our territory, I would always have this heavy feeling in my chest that made it difficult to breathe, and hts But I always had to look calm, collected, and prepared on the outside I had to be more steadfast than anyone when I declared to

When I told all these things to Fruys, including hts that I had never shared with anybody else before, I wasn't afraid of hihts to others Aside from the fact that I was the only person who kept hion didn't even look like he could be bothered to talk For seven whole days, he did not speak a single word except to affirm that he flew from the Ican Continent and over the Sea of Death

I felt unfair that the return was not proportional to the investment

And I felt hurt because of it

But thinking about it from his perspective, I could so froon It was common to see someone like me, but rare to see someone like him

I should be honored to have such a noble and rare being listen to

By the tenth day, I had nothing left to say

I also stopped giving Fruys medicine because it was completely useless

However, after finishi+ng all my work every day, I continued to visit hion showed up in your backyard, and didn't have malicious intentions or hurt you, you'd probably also be unable to resist going to see him every day either

Besides, I always had a deep fascination with this race of powerful and rare beasts ever since I heard about the bard's stories as a child

I still had public affairs to attend to every day as the lord, even if I only ruled over a small number of subjects For instance, I would have to waive taxes for the households that were looted during the raids, or allocate funds to repair the watch tower that barely had the ammunition to fire a couple volley of arrows I also al disputes like, ”John's ox was bitten by Jack's dog, what should we do?”

Ever since I was little, I always knew that I was going to inherit my father's position and beco me had always fantasized that when that day came, I would lead my armored cavalry, trample over and conquer the entirety of Finanse, and then pointpassed, and I finally realized just how childish and naive I was before

Never mind cavalry; we could not even afford to equip one person in le piece of metal armor

Fruys would silently walk back and forth on the beach like a philosopher while I sat on the side and watched, wincing every tihtly

From time to time, he would fly a short distance out toward the ocean, and then spiral in circles

He looked so free and unconstrained by anything that my heart would always fill up with envy whenever I watched him I secretly mused how nice it would be if he would take me with him to fly one day, but I never dared to say it out loud

Even without Fruys, it was not as if I didn't have any other options I had heard before that the bestbattleshi+ps, which they would then sell at high prices to the most powerful and affluent lords

I proer and wealthier, I would buy a battleshi+p that would not lose out even to a dragon, and then I would finally be able to fly in the sky

Actually, round, nota muscle

He was as lazy as a cat

I would lie on the ground on his other side, and silently watch the sunset with hioodbye and ride Anthony back to the fort

Fruys would respond to ht nod of his chin

This ured that with such an enor it would take quite a bit of energy

Fifteen days passed in this methodical fashi+on

Half a ht his men and horses over

Heweaker territories After all, he would have been thoroughly thrashed if he challenged any of the other lords

Every tiuards in protecting the ordinary civilians and guiding thes next to the fort

The season's crops were just harvested two days ago, and as such, the local granaries of the fief and the barns in every household were stuffed full with grain bastards like Morgan always stole everything down to the last kernel, so after this raid, I was afraidto death in three months time

I saw some of my people with reddened, puffy eyes

They told ht them and defend our land”
