He exhaled, reflecting on his journey. "I was training. I stayed with Sir Piaro too. I was taking a break and ca here to punish Asmophel. But after killing the Yatan servant who was controlling him, I learned the truth."
The room fell silent for a mont before rcedes hesitantly asked, "How is Sir Asmophel?"
Blade sighed. "Broken. He doesn't want to live anymore-He wants to die by Piaro's hands. I will take him to Piaro and let him decide his fate. Though... I will try to persuade Piaro—Asmophel was a victim too afterall."
Sky King Rigal nodded. "We won't stop you, Sir Saint. However, please accept my help. I will give you one of our wyverns. Our family is famous for breeding them, and with it, you can travel much faster."
Blade considered the offer for a mont before nodding. "I will gladly accept your offer then."
Duke Rigal smiled. "Then let's go. We shouldn't delay Sir Piaro's revenge." He turned, leading the way.
As they left, one of the Dukes muttered bitterly, "That guy..." while —Duke Rigal—dragged Blade along, eager to set things in motion.
Behind them, rcedes stood watching.
rcedes nodded firmly. "I will make sure the twin heroes of the Empire won't end up killing each other." With that, she turned to bid farewell to everyone.
"Take care! And if Saint ever bullies you, just tell us. We'll force him to marry you—then you can bully him instead!" Beast King Morse grinned mischievously.
rcedes' face instantly turned red. "Shut up!" she snapped before swiftly kicking him away.
Basara chuckled at the scene. "Oh? You're blushing. I can't deny that Sir Saint is quite handso."
Another Duke smirked. "You've really fallen for him, haven't you?"
Basara stiffened and shuddered before glaring at him. "I-I an, he is handso and great to be around, that's all!"
The others laughed, while rcedes huffed, trying to regain her composure. "Enough nonsense! I have a mission to complete." With that, she turned and walked away, determined to uphold her promise.

After a day of travel, Blade and rcedes set off on her pet Wyvern, a magnificent creature gifted to her by Rigal. Blade had refused to take a Wyvern himself, finding them not to his liking, so rcedes had accepted one instead to help them travel more efficiently.
"Sir Saint, where should we go?" rcedes asked as they soared through the sky.
Blade responded, "Let's go to that restaurant." He pointed towards the red-roofed building where he had last left Varuk before heading to rid Dark Bus. He had feared that taking Varuk along might have put his newly gained servant at risk.
Though the enemy had turned out to be weak, "Are you hungry?" rcedes asked as they neared the restaurant.
Blade shook his head. "My follower is here."
As soon as they landed, Varuk stepped out of the restaurant. His eyes widened in shock at the sight of the massive, blue-scaled creature with imposing wings—rcedes' Water Wyvern.
Blade smirked and called out, "Hop on, Varuk."
Varuk looked at Blade as he nodded and hopped on, sitting behind Blade back, " Varuk et rcedes, My Knight" he said as rcedes looked back and said " hello. "
Varuk nodded back as he said " My na is Varuk, Sir Saint servant" he said as rcedes nodded.
" I found him tortured and broken, after rescuing him he began to serve " Blade said as rcedes looked at him while controlling the Wyvern " tortured?"
"You rember the Emperor gave the Zebra territory?" Blade asked rcedes as they flew.
rcedes nodded.
"I killed its forr Lord," Blade continued. "He had a hobby of torturing people for fun."
rcedes remained silent for a mont before responding, "Then he deserved his fate." She had no sympathy for those who abused their power.
Blade smiled. "Exactly. Now that the land is mine, I should check on it soon."
Though it was not their destination, they were heading to Patrian, where Piaro and the others were waiting.
After another day of flying, they finally reached Patrian. The soldiers stationed there spotted them from a distance and prepared their weapons, but Blade raised his hand shwoing his id, Recognizing him, they let him in without issue.
"Is this where Sir Piaro is staying?" rcedes asked as Varuk and Asmophel followed behind them.
"Yes, I have a house here where they're living for now," Blade replied.
rcedes mumbled, "They?" She was about to ask more, but Blade was already walking ahead.
After a few minutes, they arrived at the house. Blade knocked on the door, and as soon as it opened, a woman greeted him with excitent.
"Blade, you're back!" The one who opened the door was Valentine. She imdiately hugged him, causing rcedes to narrow her eyes slightly.
"Is she Lord Saint's lover?" rcedes asked Varuk, who simply shrugged.
"I have just started following Lord Saint," he replied.
rcedes remained silent, nodding in understanding.
anwhile, inside the house, Blade looked around and asked, "Where is Piaro?"
"Sir Piaro is farming now," Valentine said as she led them inside.
"Farming?" Blade questioned, raising an eyebrow.
"Yes, he's farming," she replied. "He said he needed work to do and wanted to earn so money."
rcedes, who was listening from the side, stiffened. Her expression twitched as she struggled to process what she had just heard. Her idol… farming? The once-mighty knight, the man she had admired, was now working in the fields to make a living?
She couldn't believe how low he had fallen.
Asmophel, hearing this, thought bitterly, "This is all my fault."
"When does he return?" Blade asked.
"Usually in the evening," Valentine replied.
Blade nodded. "Then we'll rest until he returns," he said, finding a place to sit nearby.
Not long after, there was a knock on the door.
"I guess he's back," Blade said as he gestured for Varuk to invite the visitor in.
Varuk opened the door and saw a man standing there. "Are you Piaro?" he asked.
"No, I am a doctor. Is my nephew inside?" the man responded.
Jas, who ca to et his nephew in ga, wondering if he was bullied now looked stunned as he gazed at the Npc in front of him, his skill commander insight clearly shows him how strong Varuk is making him wonder what this npc is doing at Blade ho.
"Who is your nephew?" Varuk asked.
