Chapter 664 Brother, it’s been a long time
Since the summon was urgent, I set off with Angela, Cecilia, and Shaka the very next day.
There were others that wanted to come, but they couldn't since they were busy with their own things.
Since we had the wyverns, we decided to take them to the capital this time since it would allow us to reach the capital much faster. But the more important reason was...to threaten them. Visit no(v)eLb(i)n.com for the best novel reading experience
Simply put, it was to make them realize that I had control over the wyverns so they wouldn't do anything to me.
With the wyverns, we were able to turn this multi day trip into just a two day trip.
With the wyverns, the distance between places had really been cut down and it made traveling much easier.
Though there were still some downsides to this.
To make sure that no commotion was caused, we had to take a special route that avoided marked settlements. Though there were certain villages that we couldn't avoid since they weren't marked on maps in the first place.
These were small settlements that were too small to mark on maps, so we didn't know to avoid them.
As we flew past them, we could see the commotion that was coming from below.
It was clear that the people of the villages were panicking when they saw these wyverns flying overhead.
When we arrived at the capital, we made sure to land in a clearing outside of the capital.
But even then, there was someone who was waiting there for us.
That person was someone that we had contacted before coming to the capital, so they knew to wait for us here. After all, this was the place that they had directed us to land in.
It was the fourth prince who was waiting in this clearing for us.
Seeing us land, the fourth prince waved his hand at us with a smile on his face.
This was not a fact that could be ignored.
But after a while, I said, "Alright, let's stop playing around."
It was only because I said something that Angela stopped chasing the fourth prince, but the look on her face made it seem like she wasn't satisfied with ending things like this. The look on her face made it clear that she still wanted to do more, but she stopped because I told her to stop.
That was the effect that I had as a minimum on her as her fiance.
When he saw this, the fourth prince looked at me with an impressed look, but I didn't care about that.
After all, instead of wanting the fourth prince to look impressed, I would have preferred if he told me what was going on here.
So I just looked at the fourth prince and said, "Brother, can you tell me what's going on here?"
To my surprise, the fourth prince shook his head and said, "We're gathered here to celebrate our victory in the war. There's nothing going on here."
The way that he said this made it clear that he wasn't going to tell me anything.
Or rather, he wasn't going to tell me what I really wanted to know.
It was almost as if he was asking me to not push this matter and just let it go, but I couldn't do that.
After all, this was an important matter that involved my future.
So I said to Angela, "I think that it's been a long time since you've seen your brother. How about you catch up with him?"
Angela's eyes lit up and the fourth prince's eyes sank when they heard this.
The fourth prince looked at me with an aggrieved look, but he didn't say anything else on this matter in the end.
Since he wouldn't say anything, I didn't hold Angela back anymore as I said, "Then let's catch up on our way back. You can take the carriage with your brother while we bring the wyverns in."
The fourth prince had a bitter smile on his lips, but he still led Angela back to the carriage that he had come in.
