161 Going to the Capital (1/2)
Aiwai was flying with Yale and Wyba in her arms, but she wasn't flying at top speed like usually.
The reason was that Sebe was following them. Sebe's bloodline didn't give him wings, but with his status, he managed to learn a flying spell without problems. However, as Sebe was in a lower realm than Aiwai and he could only rely on the skill to fly, his speed was far slower than Aiwai's.
Sebe was going with them to pick the tree, so Aiwai needed to wait for him even if that was equivalent to being slower in reaching the house.
Fortunately, Sebe decided to leave Shirk in the room because if he needed to carry him, the speed would have been even slower.
When everyone reached Aiwai's house, Sebe felt a bit ashamed of his flying capabilities.
”Sorry, my flying skill is too slow compared with yours...”
Sebe's bloodline was second only to divine beasts, and he was the grandson of Anpaes who had a divine beast bloodline as the rumors said. However,that didn't mean that he was skilled in flying as that wasn't something inherent in his bloodline, Sebe's ability in flying was already one of the best in the royal family, but it was worse than Aiwai's capability to fly.
”Sebe, don't worry about that, everyone had weak points, and with your speed, I don't consider your flying as a weak point. Sis is just too skilled at flying; you are awesome compared to anyone else.”
Sebe just relying on his flying skill was faster than Yale and Wyba when flying at their best speed. That was a feat because although his realm was higher than them, cross the difference generated by having able to fly naturally from the bloodline was still difficult.
There was a lot of competition in the royal family, and although Sebe wasn't interested in competing with his siblings, he didn't want to be looked down by them either, so in the end, he ended always giving his best into everything.
Sebe had siblings at the Elder Rank, and he didn't fear to compare abilities with them, he couldn't beat them in pure strength, but he was always confident in winning against them on ability. In the royal family, no one of those at the Elder Rank could fly faster than Sebe.
The reason was that there was no bloodline help in that and they should rely on their own efforts, and that was something people who always relied only on the bloodline had difficulties to do.
When Sebe saw that Aiwai was better than him in flying, he subconsciously felt like if one of his siblings had surpassed him and thus he felt ashamed of his abilities. He remembered the days when he was starting to learn the flying skill and his siblings mocked him for being too slow, and he ended up feeling bad and apologizing.
However, after Yale's words, he remembered that he wasn't in that situation and that he had surpassed those who mocked him a long time ago. Moreover, Aiwai was someone with a Frost Winged Wolf Bloodline, and the Frost Winged Wolves were famous for their speed in the sky, it wasn't strange if he was worse than Aiwai.
”The Frost Winged Wolves really live to their reputation.”
Sebe laughed after understanding that there was nothing to be ashamed for being slower than Aiwai.
Every bloodline had different strengths, and although training could supply the lack of innate talent, that only applies if the other party relied just on the bloodline, if both parties had trained with the same effort, the one with better bloodline would have an advantage.
Aiwai was someone who liked to train, and her realm and age were higher than Sebe, as she also could fly thanks to her bloodline, it would be difficult for Sebe to surpass her.
After Sebe had stopped laughing and calmed himself, Yale led him towards the place where the Bloodline Fruit Tree was situated while Aiwai had gone with Wyba to put everything into spatial artifacts.
”Oh, a Bloodline Fruit Tree. The bloodline fruits are a good resource to give to the subordinates and motivate them, cultivating them is indeed a good decision. We also have some of those trees in the palace gardens. After moving to the capital you should come with your sisters to take a look to our gardens, there are a lot of trees, herbs, and flowers with a value comparable or superior to this tree. It is a great sight; I am sure the three of you will like it.”
