Logan and Silvia arrived back at Rosengard around eight at night. The suns had long set, allowing the cool night air to welco them as they teleported into the bustling city.
"Logan, I'll see you tomorrow. Let know when we're set to leave. I'll be heading back to my lab," Silvia said. This ti, before departing, she reached out to him. Logan didn't keep her waiting—he lowered his head and kissed her.
Finding no one nearby, he embraced the mont, lifting her slightly before letting her go. "Have a nice rest, Silvia," Logan said softly, letting her waist go as he wondered when he'd get to savor more ti with her.
It was only then that he noticed two creatures still standing by, patiently awaiting his command to leave.
"You know... you're free to go anyti," Logan chuckled, glancing at Zephyr and Wyver.
[Many mates, no offspring?] Zephyr teased through their personal communication, causing Logan to cough.
"Hey, I don't pry into your life... How's your mate doing? Do you have any eggs yet?" Logan sighed, knowing he shouldn't get annoyed with his creature.
[Soon. She needs a proper nest,] Zephyr replied with a shrill before soaring into the night sky.
Wyver, however, lingered, glancing around—a clear indication of what the large wyvern desired.
"Ah, I almost forgot. My apologies, Wyver." Logan retrieved a pile of water crystals, fully aware that the imposing beast would never forgive him for working without adequate compensation. Like any dragon-like creature, Wyver displayed greed—a trait Logan's other creatures never showed.
"Now go back and rest. We've got another long day tomorrow. If you perform well, I'll make sure you get a proper feast," Logan said, giving the wyvern's head a firm pat.
[I'll be waiting... make it two large cows,] Wyver replied, licking his toothy lips with a sense of anticipation. With that, the creature whipped up a swirling wind laced with snowflakes before vanishing into the night.
Logan headed back toward the castle, and as he approached the throne room, he spotted the wyvern knights conversing with Kai and Chloe, who usually remained within the castle walls. Their ongoing discussion about techniques and pointers piqued Logan's curiosity, prompting him to get closer to listen.
Before he could reach them, however, he was intercepted by Sergie, who ran up and greeted him with an unexpected hug.
Logan blinked in surprise at the sight of Sergie, nearly in tears, before gently pushing him away with a pat on the back.
"It's good to see you too, man, but save that kind of welco for the ladies," Logan chuckled, though he couldn't help but wonder about Sergie's sudden display of emotion.
"You've created heaven here… I can't imagine how I'll return ho knowing such a place exists. I'm certain my king will want most of the… appliances you've introduced here—the gadgets, the train. I rode it four tis just to grasp how magnificent such a project is. To think it will travel across your entire country… it makes wonder how much we can connect this world. Having sothing like this would revolutionize trade and improve the lives of my countryn.
My father has already said he's willing to pay anything for such a marvel," Sergie confessed passionately.
"Well… we are still experinting with everything we have here. A constant supply of crystals is essential, but to expand production, we'll need a mana vein. I'm sure your kingdom has so. How about this: tell your king we can assist in growing crystals. Instead of mining them outright, we could cultivate them. Of course, I will have my terms," Logan proposed, hoping to not only entice Sergie but also catch the interest of the prince and princesses. Forming bonds with the likely future rulers of their kingdom would undoubtedly benefit him down the line.
Jenin, drawn in by the promising offer, found herself ready to challenge her father for the opportunity to see their nation's resources flourish. Even if it ant allowing the Hero of Taming access to a few mines, it seed worth it to her.
"I think I can help if that's the case. We can't easily reveal the locations of our mines, but if what you say holds true, we might be able to make an exception. Of course, this is sothing we'll need to discuss further with my father," Jenin said, she even made herself look more attractive, running her fingers through her hair.
Lisa and Alma stepped in between Jenin and Logan, fully aware of what the girl wanted and determined not to allow it.
"Well then, discuss the rest of the details with Leonard. I'll be taking a bath before heading to bed," Logan said with a yawn as he stood up and prepared to leave.
He noticed the princess's slight disappointnt at not being able to continue their conversation, but he was already set on taking his leave for the evening.
Relaxing in the bath, Logan wondered if anyone would barge in on him today. Just as he was about to get out, a gentle voice called out from behind.
"Logan?"
He imdiately recognized the voice but couldn't see the girl.
"Marie?" Logan asked, curious about when she would reveal herself. He could sense her intentions, mixed with shyness—it was a feeling that flooded his mind so distinctly it was easy to pinpoint.
"Yes," ca the reply, this ti from right next to him.
"You know... I'm impressed with how you've perfected that ability. I rember I could vaguely see the outline of a person before, but now it's like you're completely invisible—not even the water reacts to you," Logan remarked, reaching a hand forward.
What he felt on his hand, however, was not what he had been expecting.
"You are… naked! You actually ca here like that?!" Logan exclaid, surprised by the girl's boldness. It was both daring and bashful at the sa ti.
He was actually impressed with her action, especially since she kept it that way while getting close to him, he was able to feel her soft skin and its warmth pressed against him.
"You know there is always a first for everything…" Logan had to let her lead him this ti, only using his sense of touch to learn where he needed to hold and kiss.
It was very unique way, and a very enjoyable experience.
