Chapter 4
After an hour had passed by, outside the Blue Tiger Mercenary Headquarters .
"Oye, look at the sky!
" A random person exclaimed .
"Where?
" Another person questioned .
In the sky, a big silhouette can be seen above the clouds .
"It . . it's a Dragon!!
" Another person exclaimed .
"The Dragon's going to destroy the town, everyone run
" That random person exclaimed in fear upon seeing such a silhouette .
"Idiot, that's a Wyvern
" Another knowledgeable person commented after seeing the silhouette come down from above the clouds .
The Wyvern was 12m long, long faced with a razor sharp teeth . On its back was a 30-year old man dressed in shiny red armour . His face was valiant with vigour, he excluded an aura that is capable of supressing almost all the people down there .
He scanned the area and spotted the Blue Tiger Mercenary sign on a building . He headed to that direction . The Wyvern then landed in front of the Blue Tiger Mercenary Headquarters .
"The captain of the royal guards, Renard, commands the captain of the Blue Tiger Mercenaries to come out!
" That man then shouted out loud which shocked many people because he belonged to the royal guard .
"Oh my god, what is the royal guard doing out here?
" Many people started whispering to others .
The members of the Blue Tiger Mercenaries didn't dare to lash back at him . They could only wait in silence .
The captain then came out of the building and hurriedly bowed to Renard .
"Noel of the Blue Tiger Mercenaries, at your service
" Noel thought to himself 'Wow, the empire sure is establishing their authority all over the country . '
"Hmm, Is Grey he . .
" Before Renard can finish his sentence, he saw Grey coming out of the building with a child on his back .
Renard glanced at Noel and uttered
"Good, you will surely be rewarded with riches .
"
"It's been a long time, Ray
" Renard smiled .
Hearing that a smile crept upon Ray's face as well .
"Yes, brother .
"
Then the both of them bear hugged lightly and laughed .
"Is the Royal Prince fine?
"
"Yes, as you can see .
"
"Alright, let's leave this place then .
"
"Please do, I'm sick of this lifestyle .
" Ray laughed loudly .
Ray then turned his head back .
"If you encounter any trouble, head to the Nolan family and drop my name, Ray Nolan .
"
"See you later, Noel .
" Ray bid farewell .
Noel just stood there dumbfounded by this revelation . He thought to himself 'All of them are big guys, I've struck it rich . '
When both of the brothers got on the Wyvern, Noel shouted
"Don't forget your words Grey, no, Ray .
"
"I won't .
" Ray smirked . He had an amiable relationship with Noel .
The Wyvern then flew to the skies heading to the Royal Capital .
… . .
6 hours later .
A huge wall could be seen in the distance .
"Finally, we reached the capital with the help of this speedy Wyvern .
" Ray spoke joyfully .
The two had a lot to talk about so they chatted the whole way .
Meanwhile Tian Long couldn't understand what they were saying, so he just gave up and enjoyed his first flight on the Wyvern .
'Ahh, the air is so fresh in this world . The sceneries are so beautiful . Am I on a vacation trip already?'
Tian Long felt that his choice to come to this world was the best one he ever made .
The Wyvern passed above the walls and headed to the Royal Castle . It then landed below the main entrance of the Royal Castle .
The trio then entered the Royal Castle without any obstructions, as if they were the masters of this Royal Castle .
They arrived in front of the throne hall in a short time . Just as they were going to request the audience of the emperor . The door opened and a young woman of extraordinary bearings came out with a worried face .
Tian Long was shocked when he saw this kingdom toppling beauty with rich bearings .
She was 5' 5
" tall, her skin was fair, has almond royal purple eyes that are like two drops of wine . Her wavy, long-length blonde hair was gorgeous as ever . Her face is warm and graceful like a caring mother . She has a body that is perfectly refined with curves at it's right place .
She looked toward the child who was in middle, clasped hands with both the brothers . She slowly started running towards the child and hurriedly hugged him with all her might .
"You're safe, you're safe, thank goodness, I'm sorry, I'm sorry that Mother wasn't be able to be with you all this time
" The young woman started shedding tears of joy .
Tian Long was dumbfounded being hugged by this woman . Even though he couldn't understand what she was saying, he could feel the warmth from the hug which he never got to experience in his previous life .
'Is this woman, the mother of this child?'
Hearing the ravings from the mother of this child, he was again encroached by complex feelings of guilt and sadness . He almost couldn't hold his tears from dropping .
A young man, who was full of joy can be seen behind the young woman who is currently hugging Tian Long .
He was 5' 9
" tall, his skin was fair, has royal sapphire eyes that emits a regal aura . His wavy, long-length black hair was lush as ever . Has a short beard . Has broad shoulders with quite a muscle that fits a ruler of an empire .
"Finally, my son has returned safely .
" That young man said .
The two brothers immediately got down on their knees .
"We pay our respects to the Emperor and the Empress .
" They shouted in unison .
"Good, stand up, follow me to the throne
" The young man chose not to interfere with the mother and son reunion .
The Emperor then sat down on the throne .
All of those who were in the throne hall bowed to show respect to the Emperor .
"Lift your heads! Ray, you've done a very great job of protecting my son in the time of chaos . I'll award you with the Title of Duke, a Duchy and 1000 Platinum Coins .
"
"It's my honour, your Majesty
"
"Renard, you did a great job of escorting them back safely .
"
"It's a given, your Majesty .
"
At this time, the Empress walked into the throne hall carrying her child .
Seeing the Empress, the Emperor nodded .
"Alright, Ray, explain the events that took place when you were protecting my son .
"
"Yes, your Majesty .
" Ray obeyed and explained the events that took place during his secret mission without hiding anything .
After 20 minutes .
"And that's all, your Majesty .
" Ray concluded his report .
"So… you are saying that my son just woke up 3 days ago?
"
Hearing this question, beads of sweat started to form on Ray's face as he gulped .
