The Book Of Flowers
Punishment
"What-what?"
Eloy could not say anything more
Coupled with the witch I had crippled, she also had no power to resist me
Even Yuriel just silently did not resist, looking at me sharply
"I can't believe you're this stupid noble" Eleanor said behind her fan
"What?!"
"I didn't expect that you would receive my letter straight away. No consideration or anything"
"... I already know you set up a trap, but I didn't expect that you'd go this low just for-"
"What's that low, king of Crux?" I interrupted
He just brushed his teeth in panic
"But I didn't think at all. This king, he's just a kid. Doesn't look much older than Verdea"
"You can say that, but don't underestimate his power, Your Highness Oberon" Yuriel interrupted my words
I stared at him who was silent with a flat face, coupled with Zaphir's knife that pointed at his neck
"I know that. Why do you think I'm making protective magic here?" I retaliated
I was only thinking about the possibility, but I didn't expect that the Eloy King was this strong
Had I not cast this protective spell, he could have killed everyone but me and Zaphir
"Your protective spell is pretty good, even I who can't magic can feel the pressure from it" Yuriel praised as she looked up at this basement
I'm just focusing on Eloy. It was in order to cast a magic spell to suppress the Mana in his body so that he could not let out when we left later
"I don't need your compliments. Zaphir, Amelia"
"All right"
Roughly speaking, Eloy and Yuriel were dragged by the two of them, out of this Villa
"I'll kill you, you cheap lady!" The snapping of Eloy to Eleanor
"Ah so" Eleanor replied casually
"Damn! If only I were better prepared!"
"There is no need to regret now and just shut up, your majesty" Eleanor interjected
The atmosphere was quiet again as we walked. Yuriel nailed her gaze to Veskal who was walking in front of her
A look that I don't know what it is. The emotions he showed were not even visible, so we did not know the meaning of his gaze towards Veskal
"You... It's my granddaughter" She suddenly said
...
"... No need to say anything more. You're not my grandfather, Yuriel"
"... True too... I don't deserve to call you grandchild anymore"
Veskal just kept quiet and glanced furiously at Yuriel, while Yuriel just returned quietly
We finally left Villa Eleanor
Eloy and Yuriel looked around looking for signs of other residents
But all they found was children and some parents in front of them. Coupled with the overwhelming number of Fae and Elves, it was ready to go with them
"Why are all the residents here only children and the Elderly?!" Ask Eloy
"Surely the king doesn't care like you know what?" Eleanor interrupted, making Eloy even more upset
"We've evacuated everyone in the city. The rest are children and the elderly who will be brought by the Fae"
"... Evacuating...? So..."
Because of Eleanor's explanation, Eloy immediately tried to rebel. But Zaphir and Amelia immediately beat him to a pulp for not keeping quiet
"Damn...! Goddamn-you...!!"
"We are just preparing for the worst. And it was you who actually made this plan smoothly, and even brought us a bonus" I said
Yuriel may be here to legitimize the decision, but bonuses are still bonuses
Eloy turned to look at me with a wrathful look, but I was not the least bit afraid and instead looked back at her with a satisfied smile
We'll take them to Miralius, but they won't be able to do anything, even when we get there
"alright...
The kids?! Are you guys ready?!" I asked
"READY!!" They all shouted enthusiastically
"All right! Remember our practice for a few days! Follow aba-abaku!
1... 2... 3!!"
We all immediately shot into the air and went straight towards Miralius with me as the leader
The Sylphs also flew on the outer side of the group of children to look after them. The Sylphs were even willing to reduce their speed and match it with the children and the Elderly
"We're going to Miralius!! Passion, spirit!!"
The kids cheered after me
Alright. What we need to be aware of right now is Orion's sea battalion
......................
-- - Coastal coast of the kingdom of Crux ---
I can see the sea. The guards' camps are there too
"HITCHED!!" I gave aba-aba
At full speed and without a care, me and everyone immediately broke through the camp of the guards
Everyone below us was immediately startled, even some thought it was an illusion
But... There were also those who immediately reacted and warned everyone about our presence
Even the guards who were near Goeitias right now got the news
"Prepare all the magic harpoons!! They will arrive in a few minutes!!"
"Ready!!"
Their magic-showers instantly pointed their hands into the air, preparing to cast fire magic and knock us down
Get ready... Get ready...
"That's them!!! Shoot it!!!"
They immediately followed the cue and showered us with fire magic
But easily, the Sylphs repelled their attacks with combined wind magic
Goeitias is still far away. But there are still a lot of witches that we have to go through first
Shitty
"All right! You guys should"
"ARGH!!!"
...
Damnit damnit!!
Orion's army seems to have brought out their best magician
The Sylphs were injured because of the fire magic explosion
...
"High altitude!!"
"Oberon?! You crazy?!"
"No!! Follow my orders!!"
Without further ado, I immediately slid down. The frightened children followed me as well, and indirectly, the Sylphs followed
"Oberonian!! What should we do?!" A child asked
"... Remember our training"
And with those words, I motioned for some Sylphs to stop and descend to face the witches along with myself
"OBERON!!"
"Remember your training, boy!! Keep flying!!" I said from a distance
They continued to follow my words with tears of fear as they continued to fly to Miralius
Alright. Now it's time for me to take care of these bastards
I called my staff and gave ready cues to the Sylphs
Not to be outdone, the Orion witches instantly prepared to avenge us
"... Don't kill them"
With that warning, the Sylphs instantly cast wind magic at the side of the ship, but did not hit it
It makes a ship immediately vacillate and makes everything lose balance
Not stopping there, I made the waves more fierce and made all the ships could not get close to Goeitias
The most important thing was to bring the children, Eleanor and our 2 captives safely to Miralius
We need all those people
"MAINTAIN!!!"
......................
-- In the meantime ----
"The baby..."
The children looked at the waves of the sea that made the ships they passed oscillate
They also realized that the ships were moving away from their destination
"We have to hurry the kids. Oberon doesn't want you to get hurt" Amelia said to them
Amelia was really hard at work at the time, as Eloy kept trying to fight her
"Alright, Miss Sylph" One child said
They're close to Goeitias now. All they needed to do now was fly away as fast as possible to Miralius to avoid flying monsters
However, they had just entered the land area of Goeitias...
*BOOM!*
A fire magic was thrown at them
It also made Amelia confused and panicked because there should not be a witch in Goeitias
He was even nearly hit by that fire magic. But before he was hit, he threw Eloy at Zaphir, then dodged and slid down as fast as he could
"AMELIA!! YOU CAN'T BE ALONE!!" Zaphir shouted
"TAKE THEM!! TRUST ME!!" Amelia retorted as she continued to dart downwards
He landed heavily on the ground, destroying his landing spot
Looking around at their attacking area, he also realized one thing
"... You folks. Why are you Trolls here?"
And not just ordinary Trolls, but also Trolls who are very skilled in magic. The troops that should be next to their king
"Ah come..."
Without further ado, Amelia called out her holy weapon. The weapon is twin-disc throwing and is made of Emerald stone. The appearance of the weapon immediately made all the danger signs in the bodies of the Trolls turbulent
"I'll make you regret bothering us"
The gusts of wind gathered nearby, as he walked forward slowly to slash all the Trolls away
...
Zaphir this time who has to work double. With Yuriel in her right hand, Amelia handed over the rebellious Eloy to her left
Even as he always rebelled, Zaphir carried him like a bucket of water
"GET RID OF ME!! I'LL KILL YOU ALL!! YOU THINK YOU CAN BE FORGIVEN EASILY!! I-I"
*cloth!!*
"Silence, you fool! If you don't want to die falling from a height, shut up!" Yuriel confirms to Eloy
"... You slapped me-"
"Then why?! I don't want to die today!"
"You-you"
"Shut up boy!
For the Great Tree! I think those two kids are already so spoiled like little kids...! Apparently something is worse...!!" Zaphir interrupted with a growl
...
"Ah, finally quiet..." Zaphir muttered in his heart looking at Eloy's behavior
But, his calmness only lasted for a moment
Not a few minutes later, Zaphir was startled by a black shadow that shot towards them
