Chapter 916: Strolling in
Chapter 916: Strolling in
Once we came out, the second prince brought us over to where the wyverns were waiting.
It wasn’t just our wyverns that were waiting there, it was also the ten wyverns that I gave him that were waiting there as well.
All of them had riders on them except for one.
This one still had a saddle and it seemed like it was waiting for someone to get on it.
It turned out that the one that was riding this wyvern was the second prince.
He got on the wyvern like it was a natural thing.
It was as if this was something that he had done many times before.
Well, it wasn’t as if this was strange since being able to ride the wyvern was something that everyone wanted to do. I just never thought that the second prince would have been able to find the time to train in something like this.
Riding a wyvern wasn’t as simple as it seemed and it was clear that he had trained quite a bit to reach the level that he was at.
That was strange since the second prince seemed like he had been busy with not just his duties, but also this coup since it must have taken a lot of work to get all of these nobles together.
It was hard to imagine that he had the time to train with the wyvern to reach this level of skill with it.
Still, it seemed like he had and he was going to ride this wyvern alone to come with us. It didn’t seem like anyone cared that he was coming with us, it seemed like they all had confidence in the second prince to handle this matter.
No matter how one looked at it, it almost seemed like it was too suspicious.
Like they were expecting the second prince to lead us into some kind of trap…
Well, regardless of what the second prince did, it didn’t seem like they would be able to do anything with our wyverns behind us.
So we took off into the air on our wyverns.
While we were flying through the sky, the second prince came over to Joan’s side with his wyvern and leaned over to say, “Your majesty, in a while, please follow my lead. I promise that I will turn this country over to you, please just allow me to handle this.”
This seemed even more suspicious no matter how one looked at it, but I just nodded in agreement.
The second prince looked even more confident after hearing this.
So we flew right to the capital to not just my surprise, but also everyone’s surprise.
But that wasn’t the only surprise that we received.
There was a bigger surprise that came when we arrived at the capital.
One might think that the arrival of wyverns would put the city guards on guard, but it didn’t seem that way. With the way that the guards in the city acted, it was almost as if they were welcoming us into the city.
Just a single look would be able to tell that there were more wyverns here than when we left.
That should be enough to see that we were cooperating with the second prince and not working with the Midra Kingdom.
That should be enough for them to attack us.
But they didn’t…
Not a single one of my group was able to understand why this was the case, but the second prince’s group acted like this was normal. The way that they acted was almost as if they thought that this was something expected.
Of course, that didn’t mean that the city guards would be calm once we landed.
There was no doubt that they would attack us once we were on the ground and they could see that the second prince was with us.
That was the worry that I had in mind as we came closer and closer to the ground.
It was just that this wasn’t the reality that met me after I landed on the ground.
Instead of raising their weapons when they saw the second prince, they just calmly greeted the second prince.
“Your highness, welcome back.”
The guards said this as they saluted the second prince.
There wasn’t a single trace of hostility with these guards.
It even seemed like they respected the second prince with the way that they acted.
This really didn’t seem like the second prince was the rebel here…
The second prince wasn’t surprised by any of this as he just gave a nod to the captain of the city guards before gesturing forward. As he did this, he looked at me to say, “Your majesty, shall we?”
The way that he acted was as if he was going on a simple stroll rather than taking over a country.
I couldn’t help looking at the second prince in silence for a few seconds, but I eventually nodded and followed him towards the palace.
We just walked down the main street of the capital and headed to the palace.
There were many places where they could have stopped us, but it didn’t seem like a single person was planning to stop us. It even seemed like we were welcomed as the people hiding in their homes came out after seeing the second prince.
With the way that they cheered for him, it was as if they were welcoming back a hero.
I couldn’t help feeling more and more suspicious about all of this, but I didn’t do anything in the end.
After all, Klein and the others were still flying above on their wyverns.
The moment that anything happened, the wyverns would swoop down and bring us away
from here.
The moment that the second prince betrayed us, flames would rain down on him.
So I wasn’t worried even if this was a trap.
Just like this, we made our way to the gate of the castle and to my surprise again…the gates actually opened when we arrived.
