Chapter 54 : Flying Through the Deep Night
"Oh my! You've already co to your senses?"
Looking at Redin who opened his eyes with a struggling expression, Rishu smiled broadly.
He could not even control his body properly because of the effect of Araxia, but Redin's eyes were still alive.
"It's been quite a long ti. For just the two of us to be together like this."
That fact made Rishu even more thrilled.
"This is the place where you will stay for a while. I decorated it thinking of your taste; do you like it a little?"
Rishu, after taking off her black silk gloves, reached out a hand finer than silk and caressed Redin's cheek.
"Your wounds haven't fully healed yet. Sleep a little more."
As if she had beco a mother putting a newborn baby to sleep.
Rishu whispered in Redin's ear with a sweet voice.
Trickle.
And then, she poured Araxia onto a spoon and let it flow into Redin's mouth.
"……!"
Redin glared at Rishu, opening his eyes wide, but regrettably, that was all Redin could do.
The Araxia soon flowed down Redin's esophagus just like that.
"Oh my, to think you are keeping your eyes open like this even though it's already the third bottle. You were a much more incredible person than I thought."
Redin wriggled his body to resist sohow.
But in front of the rushing drug effect, his resistance was only aningless.
"It's fortunate. I almost didn't know that my love was such a magnificent man."
Rishu, who administered as much Araxia as she wanted, brought her hand to Redin's cheek once again and spoke.
"I still rember clearly. The day I first t you."
"Redin Reichart greets the Young Lady of the Vispon Family."
n who wag their tails are suppressed by her power.
n who are dazed, bewitched by her appearance.
Before eting Redin, the n Rishu knew were only of two types.
But Redin was different from any man she had t until now.
Redin Reichart was superior and steadfast compared to any man she had t.
At that fact, Rishu received a shock as if struck by lightning.
After that, it did not take that long for her to realize the fact that she had co to love Redin.
"Do you know? I loved you sincerely."
Rishu licked Redin's lips very slowly as if tasting the most delicious food in the world.
Then suddenly, she opened her mouth, bit his lip hard, and spoke.
"Then do you know that too? That there were many more days I hated you than days I loved you."
Rishu's eyes, which resembled a girl in love just a mont ago, changed venomously like a witch.
"Hahaha, ahahaha."
Rishu groped Redin's body with a delicate touch and burst into laughter once.
And when that laughter stopped, she whispered low in Redin's ear.
"Look forward to it. Because I will break everything you love."

"You will go to save the Family Head? Right now from here?"
At my declaration, Bolpar opened his eyes wide and looked at .
"Didn't the guy called Bosman or whatever say the Family Head is at Garand Fortress?"
"That is correct."
"Young Master, the coordinates for a spatial movent magic circle are not set near Garand Fortress. In other words, there is no way to go to Garand Fortress except by physical thods."
"I know well."
"Even if you ride a steed and run without rest, it will take a full two days. Yet you will go save the Family Head right now?"
Bolpar swallowed dry saliva and organized his thoughts.
Right, Bolpar also agreed that Redin had to be saved.
However.
"Since Helkane escaped, the choice the Young Master made will soon be conveyed to the noble bastards of the capital. Then won't the bastards take so asure, whether reinforcing troops at Garand Fortress or escorting the Family Head again?"
"I suppose so."
"Are you possibly intending to wage an all-out war and break through the path?"
"No way. As the Tower Master also knows, an all-out war is too disadvantageous for us. After all, the enemy's headcount is more than double ours."
Watching shake my head with a composed expression, Bolpar felt as if he had beco a fool.
The ti required to reach Garand Fortress from the Reichart territory was a full two days.
On the other hand, Garand Fortress was only a half-day distance from the capital Abysin.
Yet I would go save Redin by a thod other than an all-out war?
And faster than the noble bastards at that?
"If you are perhaps trying to use a griffon or hippogriff, it is impossible. Sohow you might be able to arrive faster than the capital bastards, but the griffon will be exhausted just by arriving at the fortress. If things go like that, the personnel mobilized for the Family Head rescue will end up isolated in the middle of enemy territory, having lost their ans of return."
"My plan is far from that, so you may be relieved."
"No, Young Master, did you not hear the words this person has said until now? Right now for us, a thod to arrive at Garand Fortress within ti is……."
Bolpar, who eventually felt frustrated, beat his chest and raised his voice. At that ti.
"There is."
"……!"
"A ans of transportation that can arrive at the fortress within half a day, has no worry of being intercepted by enemies, and allows for a safe return while escorting Father."
At my assertion which was too clear, Bolpar opened his mouth wide.
I moved my steps leaving the dazed Bolpar behind and I whispered in a low voice.
"It's regrettable that it's a single-seater though."
***
The high azure sky that even flying birds dare not reach.
A single streak of flash cutting through that azure sky.
The flash heading in the direction of Abysin ran breathlessly through the sky, extending a long tail.
-Tch tch tch!
From within that flash, grumbling full of dissatisfaction burst out ceaselessly.
"What is so displeasing? Is carrying that dissatisfying?"
-No. Carrying Master isn't dislikeable!
"Then is the uneaten pancake the cause of dissatisfaction as expected?"
-……That's not it either!
A denial one beat late.
As expected, the pancake that must be cooling down with plenty of maple syrup applied seed to be glimring in her head.
"I must have said it wouldn't take that long. It's not like the pancake grew legs and ran away."
-I said it's not because of the pancake!
Sherazade raised her voice and protested, but there was no persuasiveness.
-I'm saying it one more ti, but I'm not angry just because of the pancake right now.
"Just because of?"
-Stop talking about trivial things. Listen well, Master! What's with saying 'There is a place I must go, so carry ' when you co to visit after a long ti? Ha, carry ?
"I didn't say anything wrong though."
-Still! I'm not so horse, if you were going to be like this, why didn't you prepare a carrot or sothing? You could have prepared a fishing rod and dangled it in front of my eyes like this. Who knows? Maybe I would covet the carrot and fly faster.
Perhaps feeling bad about being treated like livestock for transportation, Sherazade chattered with a sullen voice unlike her usual beaming self.
"Didn't you say Sub-Dragons don't divide superiority among living beings?"
-Still, being treated like a horse by the Master feels bad!
Sherazade was still busy grumbling, but I, having no intention of arguing with her for long in the first place, focused my gaze on the scenery looking down below.
And not long after, a fortress soaring high surrounded by a blue lake ca into view.
"We've arrived, so lower the altitude."
-Hmph!
While grumbling, Sherazade faithfully followed my order.
Soon, her golden body was engulfed in a light more dazzling than before.
Around the ti the light subsided, the two people lightly landed in the forest entrusting their bodies to the blowing wind.
"By the way, where is this?"
"Garand Fortress."
Even while answering Sherazade, my gaze was reaching the panoramic view of the fortress stretching below the forest.
Garand Fortress was a prison and fortress situated on a small island located in the middle of Damyeom Lake where the lake and seawater intersected.
Garand Fortress, a place confining 'precious bodies' who committed felonies but could not be hastily executed due to political influence, had a dreary appearance befitting that history.
"Wait here quietly."
I, fixing my gaze toward the surveillance spire soaring sharply, moved my steps. Since it took about an hour to co here, perhaps the remaining ti is…….
"Huh? You're telling to stay here alone?"
Sherazade, startled, reached out her arm and grabbed my sleeve.
"Can't we go together too?"
Sherazade made a rabbit-like expression and added strength to the hand grasping the sleeve.
"No. It is better for you to remain here."
I coldly shook off the sleeve.
"I won't cause trouble. Huh?"
But Sherazade also acted stubbornly unlike her usual self and held onto .
It seed she really hated being left alone on this island that was only desolate all over.
"If you follow, you will have to see quite an unpleasant sight. Is that still okay?"
Toward Sherazade who was still grasping my sleeve despite repeated dissuasion, I spoke in a low voice and took out Axion.
"……Master, are you going to kill people?"
At Sherazade's question, I nodded instead of answering.
"……How many?"
"I don't know exactly. But it is certain that it will be a considerable number."
"……."
Of course, I also had no intention of killing all the ordinary soldiers.
But I had no mind to grant rcy to the knights guarding this fortress.
Unlike the ordinary soldiers who were called here knowing nothing, the knights would know very well what work they were doing.
'If an all-out war occurs, the knights of the capital are beings where each one will beco a threat. I will reduce the headcount by even one more here and go.'
I, having solidified my resolve, shook off Sherazade's hand which had lost strength unlike a mont ago and drove in a wedge.
"Now you understand, right? Why I told you to stay here.”
"……."
Sherazade was lost in thought and had no answer, but this was enough.
I had no repulsion to staining my hands with blood, but I had no mind to force Sherazade to beco an adult.
"Be prepared so we can depart imdiately as soon as I return."
I, having finished all preparations, moved my steps toward the iron gate of the fortress with long strides.
Holding Axion and the family sword in each hand.
'Please wait just a little, foolish Father, your magnificent son is going soon.'
