Chapter 314 - Slyvias plan (1/2)

A few days ago, after sending Ray the message. Ray immediately told her to come over to Roland. The capital of the Alure kingdom for a meeting. He guaranteed her that he would be able to get the queen to meet her.

But even if Slyvia was able to meet the queen in person, what could she do? Alure was only one kingdom, and the Empire was, well an Empire. When she asked Ray this, he simply said I trust you to come up with a good plan and left it at that.

On the way to Roland, she travelled with Sir K and Wilfred as her two guards. Now that the Empire was after them Von was worried that they might send assassins. He refused to let her travel without some strong people by her side.

Although Slyvia wasn't too worried. Most of the information about the Redwings were kept secret. Many kingdoms and even Alure itself didn't know that people like Wilfred and Sir K had joined the Redwings and they didn't even know what the leader looked like.

Upon entering the city, Ray had sent the location of where they would be meeting. Standing just outside one of the city's guildhall, was Jack, Martha, Lenny and Ray.

As the three got off the carriage, Sylvia's eyes were immediately attracted to Ray.

”Ray? You look so…”

”Handsome?” Martha said, ”I know it surprised us too.”

”I'm handsome?” Ray said, ”My parents were always beautiful compared to others, but I've never been called that before. Thank you, Martha, for the compliment.”

Martha then got a little red herself and looked at Slyvia who was giving her all sorts of stares.

”I'm sorry.” Martha mouthed out the words making sure no one could hear her.

But Martha was right. While Slyvia hadn't seen Ray in so long, he looked like a fully grown a.d.u.l.t now. Before the two of them were around the same height, but now Ray was a fully grown man and had this sense of maturity about him.

”Well, this is awkward, isn't it?” Wilfred said as he went to shake Lenny's hand.

”It has been a long time teacher?” Lenny replied.

”Teacher?” The others looked in surprise as they had heard those words.

”Don't you remember, I told you I used to be a knight at Avrion?” Said Lenny.

But what surprised them more than anything was that Lenny was meant to be around 100 years old. If Wilfred was his teacher, then he must have been older then him.

”Will you please stop looking at me like that.” Wilfred said, ”I became a master knight at a young age, and Lenny was put under my squad when he was already a full-fledged knight. I can assure you Lenny is older than me.”

Again as if he could read the other's mind, Wilfred gave a perfect answer. Although looking at both of them, it was still hard to tell their age. One was using Magic while the other was using Ki to slow down the ageing process.

The two of them didn't even look over fifty.

The group then headed into the guildhall and started to make their way up the stairs onto the second floor.

They were greeted by the government official in charge of the guildhall who allowed them to sit down on the sofas while some of the others stood up.

”Hey Ray, aren't you meant to be in the academy right now?” Slyvia asked, ”What if the others notice you are missing?”

”Don't worry, I have taken care of that.”
