On the Way to Armand Region
The journey back from the Beastkin Kingdom was nothing short of grand. A heavily guarded convoy moved steadily along the road, flanked by elite knights in perfect formation.
Leading the mounted forces were Alf, Erinnette, and Hesbeirn, riding their Pekko birds with effortless precision. Behind them, the elite battle maids—each mounted on their own Pekko—moved in disciplined lines, their presence a silent warning to anyone foolish enough to consider an ambush.
At the heart of the convoy, a luxurious carriage rolled smoothly along the well-maintained road. Inside, Javier sat stiffly, facing his father, Garius, along with his mother, Francesca, and Eridith, who seemed more interested in her next meal than the tense atmosphere around her.
Javier fidgeted. At first, he thought he could handle this, but now…
Garius was too damn serious.
