Chapter 28 (2/2)
He was big, but Datero still had a lot of growing to do It was too dangerous for a prince who could become the next emperor to fly on him
“That, that is… Noona was gone, so… I ordered the attendants”
The kiddo lowered his head and confessed his sins
Bahtly smacked his head
“How sad do you think your father and ot into an accident like that? At over ten years old, you should know the value of life! Razcion, do you still see yourself as a kid?”
I would have gottento do with ot even madder
“I'ain But… Datero can fly well, you know! He even fleith o…”
Though he was a prince, Razcion had already recognized ave an excuse with a tre voice
'Not too long ago? Now that I think of it, isn't it suspicious?'
Datero was still a baby, but he was still h to fly with an adult on his back
'These guys!'
At that pit
'Who did so like this!'
A black piece of es had pierced the ar, pushed so deeply inside that it was able to dae the uniquely sturdy Black Wyvern hide, which was said to be able to deflect swords Whenever Datero flapped his wings, the object pierced deeper inside and caused intense pain Unable to fly properly due to the pain, the wyvern had crashed
'Conspiracy!' I could only think of one thing 'The Crown Prince is born from the Queen, but this kid was born froal wife It's definitely possible'
Any person with a working brain could sgle within the i I had seen often inlike that Otherwise, ould play with a young child's life like this?
“Razcion”
“Un, brother”
Razcion looked at me with round eyes It was obvious that this kid with baby fat still on his cheeks didn't know a thing
“In the future, don't do these kinds of dangerous flights And… be careful”
I couldn't tell the kid to watch out for his life and increase his escort To this kid, the world was still full of wonders I didn't want to rob this kid of his pure world
'Sigh, fate is also an illness'
I wanted to help, but there was a limit to what I could do And to say it rationally, even if the kid died, it was his fate as a kid as born a prince
“Got it, elder brother Hehe”
“Kiddo…”
I patted the kid's head as he shts were to see, I would be branded on the spot with treason against the iht now, Razcion was just a cute kid I knew
“Your Highness! Your Ihness!”
Just then, cries calling for the prince came from the distance
'It's the Ihts'
As long as they had eyes, they would also be able to see what kind of plot Razcion had suffered I heard the footsteps of the Ihts as they came closer to the forest
“I'll see you later, kiddo”
“Are you going? Ehh, I wanted to play longer with you,” complained Razcion with his eyes full of sadness
“Then grow up quickly Next tiether in the sky”
“Really?”
“This elder brother of yours doesn't lie”
“Alright! Make sure to keep that promise, okay, elder brother Kyre?”
“Got it Then, watch your health”
Because I could feel that the knights had drawn close, I used Mana Step to hide within the forest It didn't matter if I was found, but there was no need to cos
'But where did the I brother behind?'
Princess Igis had clearly cared deeply for her younger brother She wasn't stupid enough to let Razcion fly off like that
'It's already late afternoon'
After just one night, the in
Washed by the rays of the afternoon sun filtered by the trees, I walked through the forest From now on, such a peaceful time wouldn't come for a while
'There's a Skyknight base in a place like this?'
After two hours of horseback from the capital, we arrived at a mountain around 300 entle slope and took up a fairly large area
'The Skyknight I the capital frohts are here, huh?'
Wearing our unifor and departed on prepared horses After passing through the capital, we galloped straight here
“Students, this is Kirphone Covert, where you will stay for two months 53 Black Wyverns, the pride of our eular wyverns are on standby here in order to protect the capital”
Several instructors had followed us here, including Viscount Atuan, Count Capuin, and Viscount Bane, ere all Skyknights themselves
'It's a perfect fortress!'
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call Kirphone Covert the heart that protected the entire empire At the entrance stood a thick stone wall, and I could see dozens of places that looked like trenches all over the mountain
'Each wyvern requires a tea it up, it's at least 1,500 people And then there's another few thousand garrisoned here Wow! It's a!'
Even a single glance could tell you that Kirphone was perfectly equipped for defense It ot close
“Identify yourselves!”
In order to enter the covert, you had to go through the stone wall first Hundreds of soldiers were standing watch on the ith arrows, spears, and swords
'They're even using ic defense arrays'
I felt traces of ic defense arrays that were used in special fortifications
“The 1st year Skyknight cadets are here for practical training We are the instructors”
“Please pass over your identification”
They should know the faces of the instructors, but the knight in charge asked for identification with an appearance thatin front of the ith several dozen soldiers It showed how much importance Bajran placed on this place
“It has been confirmed Please come in”
After checking the docuhest ranked instructor, Count Capuin, the knight gave us permission to enter As alked towards the ith our horses, the knight made a fist and shook it in the air Only then did the thick fortress gate open with the loud grinding of stone
“Hiya!” The instructors hurried their horses inside
The other cadets, whose hearts were probably racing as much as mine, rushed to follow them
'Finally!!'
Last night, I had a hard ti because of my excitement I was at the tail end of the line and followed everyone through the gate
“Ah!!”
“Wow!!”
“Gasp!!”
The cadets who had entered through the gate stopped their horses to exclaim with admiration as they blankly stared at the scene before them
'Why are they like this, so lame~!'
Snorting at the cadets who had stopped at the front of the line, I threadedand looked ahead
“Wooooow!”
In the end, I also couldn't help but cry out
'Th-those are all wyverns!!'
A huge valley awaited us beyond the gate In the valley were an incredible number of wyverns
'That's insane!'
Countless wyverns were lying down, flapping their wings, getting cared for by people, or preparing to fly With large buildings that looked like their houses behind the their luxurious daily lives like millionaires at their country homes
“A Gold Wyvern!”
“There's even a wyvern unique to Laviter here!”
“Impressive! It's really impressive!”
I wasn't the only one getting e Skyknights The little voice inside their heads that whispered that one of those wyverns on the valley could become theirs made everyone very excited
'How much money is this! One wyvern, tyverns, uwaahh! There's too many to count!'
Each one cost at least 200 thousand Gold a pop, and there were 150 of the at an astronomical sum
'Huhuhu I only need one As long as it's black, I just need one!'
As soon as you owned a wyvern, you would be promoted to noble status Noas half a step closer tofor me
“Move along, everyone!”
The instructors hastened the cadets, ere all standing with their jaws open We took the horses to one side of the valley, where s stood They were probably the dor for two months
“They uys”
As we hustled the horses onwards, two people came to mind Countess Irene, the Apostle of the Azure Skies, and that one guy named Rothello
'Countess Irene, I'm here To keep my promise with you'
She had told ht cadet and prove my innocence Her Goddess-like appearance was etched in ical charm…
