Soul Eater of the Rebellion

Chapter 69 To the Imperial Capital

Hold on tight.

"Ha, yes...!

When Craia responds to the call, the sky pulls the rope and raises the indigo wing beast (Wyburn) high in space.

A landscape on the ground that drifts away. It's not my first time riding a Winged Beast named Crow Solas, but it's not something I'm used to riding once or twice. Craia's back trembled and trembled with a floating feeling that was different from the aerial walking caused by the stiffness.

Soaring over Ishka, Crow Solas starts flying east. The goal is the Adastera Imperial Initiatium. It is empty to say that we already have permission to cross the border to the Imperial Capital.

It is said that it is not only about the arrangement, but also about the arrangement of seeing the emperor. It hasn't been four days since Claire rolled into the empty house. When told of it by the sky, which had returned from King's Landing, Clyde was not surprised by the ease of the task.

Speaking of surprises, I can't help but be surprised that the sky allowed Craig to accompany me.

Of course, I'm not reluctant to accompany you. I was going to rub my head on the ground and have it taken to the Wisp Gate.

However, Claire's body is still far from perfect, and fighting behavior seems to be hindering her everyday life, so she can't usually step into the Wicker Gate. This was the result of the impossibility of reaching Ishka.

This will only make it easier for you to walk with the sky. It seems that if you could use the healing medicine (potion) that you received from the sky again, you would be able to fight temporarily, but priest Sarah, who treated Klein, was very careful in this regard. If you do the same thing again, your temporal illness could become permanent now.

Naturally, this should have been communicated to the sky. That's why Craia didn't think the sky would allow her to come with her. Even if Claire is empty, she doesn't want to take her hands off her feet.

And yet, the sky chose Clyde to accompany me as a matter of course. The black-haired young man shrugged his shoulders and turned back to the perhaps sincere cry.

"I told you to stay calm until you get back from the Imperial Capital. If I'm a little late, I can't wait to go to Onigajima alone. It's safer to keep it out of sight than to act out of sight."

That's all, Claire didn't make a sound.

While he remembers it on his saddle, Crow Solas flies through the wind in the canary sky. The land of the Canary Kingdom jumped into my eyes as Kleia turned her gaze to the ground while holding her back in the sky to avoid falling off the saddle.

The scenery, like a scroll of pictures, unfamiliarly spills out of your mouth. Claire was just running on that dirt with a grim readiness. I had no idea that a few days later, I would be riding a Wyburn and heading for the Imperial Capital from above.

Can we get to the Imperial Capital safely like this? If I arrive in the Imperial Capital, can I meet the Emperor and get permission to enter the Onimon Gate? With the Emperor's permission, will the Dagger family honestly pass through the gate? If we can get through the Wisp Gate, can we find Crimut from there?

I can't help thinking about it. I can't help thinking about it.

No matter how much you tell yourself that, your anxiety will spring up without end. Claire pulls her gaze away from the landscape on the ground and looks towards the sky in front of her. And he closed his eyes and buried his face on the back of the sky.

Doing so, the anxiety that was so disturbing to your chest disappears like a lie.

Claire put a little effort into her empty hands.

"Lord Sky."

"What?

After a few breaks, Craig talked to me, so I responded.

The look on Craia's face still shows signs of exhaustion, but the earthy complexion is getting a lot better. The sound is calm and there is no burning color in the eyes.

It's far from over, but I'm sure we're on our way to recovery. To be honest, I was worried that it wasn't a mistake to accompany a client who had not passed out of debilitation, but it seemed to work in a good direction as far as this way, secretly recharging his chest.

Claire looked at me like that and looked a little strange, but kept saying nothing about it.

"As far as the Empress was concerned, there was a plan to see the Emperor... but would we arrive in the Emperor's capital before her messenger?

Oh, is that so?

I nodded small enough to understand what was worrying about Claire.

Probably Craia thinks that Princess Sakuya will soon become a horse and try to tell her father about us.

Needless to say, the flying indigo wing beast (Wyburn) is overwhelmingly faster than the ground fast horse. If we get to the Emperor's capital before the Empress's messenger, the Emperor won't see us. Of course, I can't even get the forgiveness to walk through the gate. Claire is worried about it.

I shook it for the first time and worried about Craig.

"Don't worry. Whatever the reason, I am the Empress's messenger. Look, this is the parent book."

Remove the tightly sealed cylinder from the pocket. Of course, there is a letter from the Empress to the Emperor in the cylinder.

Normally, this kind of thing is entrusted to trusted ministers, but Empress Sakuya decided that it is most efficient to entrust me with the parent book than there is no better way to travel than Wyburn.

By the way, I'm not going directly to the Imperial Palace with this. This cylinder can only be used by the Imperial family, and it seems to provide some kind of identification, but the position of the emperor is not light enough to go straight between the eyes.

Since Sakuya's mother and brother live in the Imperial Palace, it is impossible to handle them.

Therefore, it was the idea of the Empress to first ask for a nobleman close to the Empress and have the Emperor deliver the written letter from there.

"He seems to be a nobleman who plays the role of his brother, Prince Fu. I also got a letter of introduction for the nobleman."

That way, Craia turns her eyes in surprise.

"You're exhausted. The Empress seems to have trusted the Emperor."

Well, how about that?

"What do you mean?

"Your Highness, it seems that I will never forget my resentment or gratitude."

It is the dialogue that was said the other day. My personality analysis led by the Empress after gathering information about me and actually dealing with me.

As far as I'm concerned, I wouldn't be so stubborn, but aside from that, the Empress is going to sell me as much as she can right now.

If you offer me a barter, I will be able to make the balance of the loan more chaotic by fulfilling it, and sigh.

How will you repay the great favour you received from the Empress this time? This was also a very headache problem.

Thinking about such a hard thing, the person who started the incident shrinks his shoulders and lowers his head.

"I'm sorry, I just relied on the Emperor...."

Absolutely, I think you owe me - the option to hold Clyde has come to mind, but I weighed myself here. Perhaps if I asked, Claire wouldn't refuse. But I don't feel comfortable pointing a faded request at my sister, who is scratching her bones to help her brother.

Let's sell the princess Sakuya a lot of favors. If we can find Kremt safely, because it's about the righteous Krea, we will act on our own will.

With that in mind, Craia looked at me with a mix of gratitude and apology when she said "Never mind" with a sawayaka voice.

The gaze is very close.

... I'm not surprised that Claire showed up. Throughout the story, Clyde sat right next to me.

Specifically, the distance enough to feel the temperature of the other person through each other's clothes. It is almost in a tight state.

Just in case, I didn't order you to do it. Claire is doing what she wants.

In addition, this has been the case all along during the break. Even as I'm flying on Crow Solas, I'm hugging you from behind with much stronger force.

Claire's true intentions are unknown - well, I don't hate being close to a beautiful girl, so let her do what she wants to do. Because of all the things that happened, maybe it's just a little bit more thoughtful.

I didn't even read my heart like that, but the lips of Claire who was looking at me were melting.

In conclusion, Craig's distance remained the same until his arrival in the Imperial Capital.
