Chapter 889: Returning through the sky



It took three days before our method of returning arrived.

The first thing that happened was that the very next day, the noble that was in charge of this town announced that the water monster had been taken care of.

This was arranged by the shadows who had an order that had both mine and the prime

minister's signature. With such a document, there was no way that they would be able to raise any complaint.

Even if they weren't certain if the water monster had even been taken care of, the noble that was in charge of the town had no choice but to make this announcement.

There weren't any merchants that dared to test the waters though.

Even if the noble in charge of the town had made this announcement, it didn't seem like any of the merchants believed in this announcement. After all, they had suffered under the threat of the water monster for so long that they just found it hard to believe such an announcement. No one was willing to act as the one that tested the waters for the others.

It wasn't just because of their precious goods, it was also because of the fact that there was nothing more important than their lives.

They weren't willing to risk their lives on this unreliable information.

As such, there was no one that set out from the town even though it had been announced that the water monster had been dealt with.

It was only three days later when the wyverns arrived that people finally set off.

The wyverns were actually our transport back to the capital, but the reason for the appearance of the wyverns given to the public was that they were here to clean up after the monster.

They found a completely different water monster that they dragged out of the river to show all of the merchants.

This only worked because none of the merchants had actually seen Ariel when they were attacked.

It turned out that she had only sung for them and then attacked when they tried to attack her because they thought that she was a siren. So they had only seen the waves of the water slamming their ships and nothing else.

She looked closely at Joan before saying, "You are really something else!"

Of course she meant Joan, not me.

Ariel could tell what was special about Joan, which was why she praised her so much.

Joan raised a wing to her face, as if she was embarrassed about being praised like this.

But eventually we all got on her back and headed to the capital.

"WOOO!!!"

This cry of joy rang out through the air as we flew high above the land.

It was a good thing that I had the wyverns fly high up so that no one would notice us, or else everyone would be staring up at the sky as we flew over them with how much of a commotion Ariel was raising.

She looked like a child that was visiting the amusement park for the first time.

She even had her arms up in the air like she was riding a roller coaster for the first time.

I shook my head seeing this, but I didn't stop her since I could understand how she was feeling.

Though there was a look in Ariel's eyes that seemed a bit dangerous that concerned me.

It was the way that she looked at the wyverns that the others rode.

It looked like she was looking at them with a bit of possessiveness in her eyes.

It almost looked like she wanted to become a wyvern rider herself.

Of course, that would never happen since we couldn't give our wyverns to outsiders.

Even a royal guest wasn't an exception.
