"Well…I guess that's fine…After all, you have nothing to do after you finish your work.”
Qing Yang didn't think too much and nodded involuntarily. Allie's expression suddenly changed and she jumped up happily.
"Aha! It's settled then! I can settle a small matter like paperwork in a few moves!”
"Uh…Ah! Was there such a deep scheme? But…ugh! That shouldn't be something that could be done in a day, right?”
However, Qing Yang's words did not reach Ellie's ears. Because she had already turned around and left at an astonishing speed.
"Forget it. I'll apologize properly later. If I buy her a gift, will it calm her down?”
It would be troublesome if Allie found out. To be on the safe side, it was better to leave at midnight. After all, if he stayed with this princess, he would be hacked to death by Kulun sooner or later! In short…let's get ready for departure! After Qing Yang made his decision, he walked to his room.
When the setting sun slowly disappeared on the other side of the horizon, other than the soldiers on night duty, everything was silent. Qing Yang began to move. First, he arrived at the first floor of the central tower. Qing Yang held his breath as he walked through the corridor and stopped in front of the office. He peeked into the room through the crack of the door and confirmed that Allie was sleeping soundly on a mountain of documents.
Just as Qing Yang's lips curled into a smile,
"Hey, kid! What are you doing there?"
Suddenly, someone called out to him from behind. Qing Yang was so frightened that he hurriedly pulled away from them.
"Kid…do you want to attack Her Highness?”
Kulun, who was holding a lantern in one hand, suddenly changed his expression from doubt to anger.
"No, no! You misunderstood, lower your voice! You'll wake Allie up!"
After Kulun used his lantern to illuminate Qing Yang's panicked face, he was immediately stunned.
"What the hell? So it's a little ghost? What are you doing here in the middle of the night?”
Captain Kulangir Yaso was Allie's attendant.
"It's like this…"
If he hesitated for even a moment, Kulun might misunderstand that he was planning a night raid. Qing Yang immediately explained the reason to him.
"In other words, you want to confirm that Her Highness is asleep before you set off?”
"Yes, I can't bring Ellie with me, right?”
"That's true. I also hope that Her Highness can stay here. Regardless of whether Her Highness the Princess is going with them, you are still a descendant of the second emperor. It should not be too much for you to have a few guards by your side. Are you really not bringing it?"
"Most of the nobles, including His Majesty the Emperor, are skeptical of my identity. Thus, if I were to bring a guard along, it would likely provoke them for no reason. That was why I decided that it would be better for me to go alone.”
Qing Yang knew very well that before he obtained the Emperor's approval, his status was even lower than that of a commoner. It was best to keep a low profile. If he wanted to realize Allie's dream, he had to rope in more partners than the enemy. Considering the situation in the future, he wanted to avoid anything that would create a negative impression.
"Aren't you being too cautious? Besides, you're the only one with black hair and eyes. Wasn't this enough to be the best evidence?”
"Black hair, black eyes, it's not difficult to disguise them.”
Although Qing Yang had thought of summoning the 'God Emperor Savior' in the event of an emergency, this was his last resort.
It was very likely that the First Prince Bale would be present when he met the emperor.
If he summoned the Divine Emperor the Savior in front of the Emperor, he would definitely be treated as an assassin and cause a commotion. The other party would also attack without any explanation. This would lead to the worst possible outcome.
Bell was the hero who protected the Emperor, and Ellie would be seen as the mastermind behind the assassination and executed.
The place Qing Yang was heading to was the Imperial Palace, where the desires of all parties were surging. There was no harm in being overly cautious.
"Then, there's no time to lose. It's about time for me to set off.”
"I understand. Are you really not bringing any guards?"
"No, there's no need."
"But you don't know how to ride a horse, right? What are your plans?"
"I plan to walk to see uncle first.”
There should be a public carriage station in Kensi. Qing Yang prepared to take a public carriage to the big city.
" Hmm..." Cullen muttered to himself as if he was thinking about something.
"Maybe it's worth a try…"
"Try what?"
"I have something good for you. Come with me."
After saying that, Kulun turned around and walked away. Even though Qing Yang was full of questions, he still followed. He followed Cullen to the stable, or to be more precise, the open space a short distance away from the stable.
"It's this guy."
Cullen knocked on the sturdy fence. Something inside started to move and make a strange sound.
"What's that?"
"This guy! It's the Doomsday Black Dragon!"
When Kulun answered Qing Yang's question, a wicked smile appeared on his face.
A moment later, Qing Yang rode on the Black Dragon's back and left Jacker Fortress while shouting!
"Wow…"
As the sun rose, there were only a few faint clouds hanging high in the sky. Jacker Fortress was gradually recovering its vitality.
"Hmm…"
After Kulun sent Qing Yang off, he went to the officers 'dining hall. Even though he was already a veteran, the courage and bravery emitted by his well-trained body was not inferior to that of a young man. The devil instructor that everyone respected was now holding his breath with a complicated expression.
"Why?"
Kulun suddenly shouted, and the soldiers present all looked at him.
However, Kulun didn't have the energy to care about this at all, because there was something else that was giving him a headache.
In front of him, a lonely princess, Ellie, who was almost mistaken for a ghost, was walking towards him.
"Wuwuwuwu…I was abandoned…I was abandoned by Qing Yang…"
Allie muttered to herself as she sat down opposite Cullen across the long table. Allie, whom he had always doted on, now had a lifeless expression. No matter how strong Kulun was, he couldn't sit idly by.
"Your Highness…did something happen?”
"Qing Yang is missing."
"I see…"
"I think he probably went to look for Uncle. As Qing Yang did not know how to ride a horse, he would most likely take a public carriage.”
Horses were quite good at reading human emotions. If it was someone they didn't like, the horse would look down on them. If the knights showed fear, they would be thrown off their horses. On the contrary, as long as one invested care, the horse would follow the instructions of the owner and be a reliable companion.
However, in Qing Yang's case, it was not a technical problem. His movements when riding the horse were very natural and smooth. Anyone could tell that he had gone through considerable practice. However, the horse refused to listen to his orders. Some horses would even throw him off and abandon him.
"Ah, speaking of horses…"
Cullen thought that this was a good opportunity, so he decided to confess his inner entanglement to Allie.
Anyway, it was a topic related to horses and also to Qing Yang.
" Has Her Highness ever ridden the Doomsday Black Dragon?”
"Of course not. They were only dragons. Not only were they eccentric and difficult to deal with, but with their pride, they would never allow humans to ride on their backs. It was said that even among the beasts that could talk to dragons, only a few could control dragons.”
That was indeed the case. However, Qing Yang successfully mounted the dragon in front of Kulun.
Moreover, from Kulun's point of view, the Doomsday Black Dragon seemed to have lowered its head so that it would be easier for Qing Yang to ride it.
"Doesn't that mean that there's a Doomsday Black Dragon in this fortress? It was said that he had caused trouble in the village and was caught.”
"Yes, the little ghost rode it and left.”
"So Cullen can joke too…"
"I'm not joking! I saw it with my own eyes. Just before the sun rose, I saw the little imp leave the fortress on Doomsday Black Dragon! I definitely didn't fall asleep!"
Kulun gasped for breath before realizing that he had misspoken.
"Wait! Why did you see it? Why did Qing Yang know about the Black Dragon? Can you explain it in detail?”
Allie's tone was gentle, but there was anger in her voice. Kulun's face suddenly turned pale.
" Cough cough…Princess, please calm down…"
Cullen let out a small wail, and after a few moments, a tragic wail resounded through the officer's dining hall.
"Ah…"
The next day, the sun hung high in the cloudless sky, its light pouring mercilessly onto the earth.
A creature tore through the air filled with the fragrance of plants and galloped away.
The figure sprinting on the ground with an imposing manner appeared petite compared to the horse, but its speed was undoubtedly far superior. Riding on the creature's back was a youth dressed in black, Qing Yang.
"Even I can control it…and its speed is shocking!”
The wind blew past her face, and the petals that flew behind her were blown up. It felt as if he had become one with nature.
Qing Yang was riding the creature Kulun had given him, the Doomsday Black Dragon.
The Doomsday Black Dragon was originally an alien species that lived in the eastern part of the Central Continent, the Saitan Islands.
About 300 years ago, adventurers captured several Doomsday Black Dragons from the Saitan Islands, but they accidentally let them escape. After that, they bred in the Central Mainland.
"Maintain this speed and go straight to uncle's house!”
Qing Yang, who was in a good mood, ordered the Doomsday Black Dragon to gallop through the streets of Kensi.
On the central avenue, a large number of people came and went, and the open-air vendors had already set up their positions.
As the war had subsided, the town slowly returned to its former lively scene.
Qing Yang, who had arrived at the lord's manor, leaped down from the Doomsday Black Dragon's back and quickly approached the man standing at the door.
"Lord Qing Yang, it has been hard on you.”
"Long time no see. Uh…I should call you Mr. Krut.”
The man was Kedar's adjutant, Kulutejilyaso. At the same time, he was also the deacon in charge of the servants in the mansion. When Qing Yang and the others came to visit, he had taken care of them in many ways.
"Yes, long time no see. Although there was a lot to talk about, please come in first. Master has been waiting for you for a long time."
Kulut hurriedly urged Qing Yang into the house and led him to the living room on the first floor.
The walls were pure white and flawless. Looking out from the window on the west side, one could overlook the northern district where the upper-class citizens lived. Qing Yang sat down on the soft L-shaped sofa in the middle of the room.
Koda sat across the table from him.
" Are you going to take a public carriage to the big city…"
Koda listened to Qing Yang's request and took a sip of the black tea that the maid had served him. He then smiled.
"I'll arrange it for you immediately. When do you plan to leave?"
"If possible, I hope to set off today…Is that convenient?”
"Is there a need to be so anxious? It should be fine to rest for at least a day, right?”
"Although His Majesty's letter did not mention a time limit, I think the sooner the better.”
"I see. That's true."
Koda nodded in agreement and clapped his hands with a smile.
"Kurut, prepare a pen and parchment for me.”
"Alright."
Kulut bowed and left the living room quietly.
