Chapter 38: Spring II
Once Shuou had left, Amue sighed in front of her adjutant. “He doesn’t have an avaricious bone in his body…” “That’s just his nature,” replied Kazahina, a certain pride in her expression. “But what will you do with those two?” “As requested, I’ll clear their debts. Upon their return to the military, I’ll arrange to…
Chapter 37: Spring I
In the face of unexpected good fortune, Shi’shi’Jishi Amai needed far more resolve than he’d originally anticipated. While heading to a northern facing country as an emissary, Amai had prepared a gift for Duchess Adulelia, who had taken Sa’salia into her custody. In exchange for this gift, the former professor had sought a one-on-one audience…
Chapter 36: The End of Flight VI
Sa’salia dreamed of her young, beautiful mother and strong, handsome father. Rather than giving her to a wet nurse, Sa’salia’s parents had loved her, raising their daughter free of any lack. Like bubbles, scenes from her childhood floated in the air, bursting and scattering. She’d experienced this dream many times. On each occasion, she’d reached…
Chapter 35: The End of Flight V
Climbing the gentle slope from the cliff bottom, they headed towards the small forest beyond. To escape from the Rabidaemons, Princess Sa’salia and her escorts had – in all likelihood – searched for a place to hide. Though Jada and company were relying on their instincts, they couldn’t have been too far off the mark,…
Chapter 34: The End of Flight IV
Late that night, a deathly tense atmosphere hovered over the conference room of Adulelia. “Raise your head, you imbecile!” cried Amue, raining merciless words upon the man quivering in fear. Uncovering the old apothecary’s whereabouts had been simple enough. Seeing as he did business in the market on a daily basis, that was only natural.…
Chapter 33: The End of Flight III
Inside true darkness, where not even starlight could reach, Shuou relied upon the faint luminescence of Moonstones to continue onward. As they traveled deeper into the cave, the smell of water choked him more and more. Despite being narrow, the path could accommodate two people walking side by side. Furthermore, a closer look at the…
Chapter 32: The End of Flight II
Something akin to a snake’s tongue brushed Sa’salia’s cheek. Despite being horrified, she soon recognized the sensation as mere wind, coming awake. “Ow!” Pain shot through her hips and back. In response to this entirely new discomfort, she cried out. Rather than a soft bed, she’d woken inside a bleak cave surrounded by craggy walls.…
Chapter 31: The End of Flight I
Shuou fell headlong down a precipice with no bottom in sight. In exchange for saving a girl hurtling through the air, he’d been flung into the depths of mist-covered darkness. All the while, he regretted his poor judgement. The girl he’d meant to save would be stranded within the middle of the Crimson Bees’ hunting…
Chapter 30: Crimson Rabidaemons III
The following evening, a great tumult enveloped Adulelia Manor. One after another, extravagant carriages arrived at the entrance. People of high rank – accompanied by numerous attendants and bearing gifts – pushed their way into the manor. Consequently, the antechambers for both nobles and their servants had swelled to capacity. As the host of this…
Chapter 29: Crimson Rabidaemons II
Once the early morning fog had cleared, Shuou practiced his swordsmanship in the courtyard of Adulelia manor, Kazahina watching over him. She had tasked him with fundamental training, which didn’t even amount to a child playing around with a stick. Vertical slash, vertical slash, horizontal sweep, thrust. Shuou executed these movements at regular intervals. Since…
