From afar, the sound of breaking branches followed.

Although Leverianz was fast, he could that easily shake off such a large number. After all, this sudden action won’t last long.

“You said it wasn’t your first kiss.”

“However…”

“Then who’s the first one?”

Mirania sighed like a laugh, “I don’t know why everyone is obsessed with that.”

“Someone asked the same thing. Who else asked that?” Leverianz asked, hiding his dissatisfaction with a grin.

Mirania, who didn’t feel the need to respond, snapped her fingers, and a huge tree in front moved like an animal and blocked Leverianz’s path.

If you keep going, it’s a collision. Leverianz turned leisurely.

Leverianz laughed lightly as he leaped upward in an instant and passed through the forest.

“Haha! It’s dangerous, Mirania.”

“Go back to your place.”

“Aha, I know who it is.”

Mirania glanced back, ignoring Leverianz’s words.

The bats, who noticed Leverianz’s movement, surged up one by one. Bats chased after them with cold faces like ice sculptures crammed into the sky.

Mirania expressed the current situation in a few words, “It’s a mess.”

Leverianz continued as if the situation behind him was unimportant, “Malandor, is it him?”

“…”

“Why did you even kiss?”

A lower voice wrapped around Mirania’s ears.

“I’m curious.”

“Is there anything else? You seem to like hitting on stupid things.”

Mirania, who answered sourly, flicked her finger and the wind blew from all directions.

The wings of Leverianz, who resisted the strong wind, slowed significantly.

“Go down calmly before I call a typhoon.”

“Sheesh.”

Leverianz’s eyebrows furrowed. The sight of her face stunned Mirania. 

‘He’s like a child who’s making a fuss.’

Right now, Leverianz was behaving like a stubborn Grecan.

Mirania suddenly wondered at the rare sight, “Tell me why you are doing this?”

“Because my people will talk nonsense, such useless things.” 

Unlike before, Leverianz answered meekly.

Blonde hair fluttered in all directions due to the wind brought in by Mirania.

“Useless things?”

“And Mirania will fall for that nonsense.”

“You just have to listen and decide.”

“…”

At the gaze of Leverianz, Mirania spoke insignificantly, “It’s only natural to believe Livy’s words rather than those of the Bats who I don’t even know.”

At the voice that flowed like a breeze, Leverianz blinked while leaving his hair fluttering in the gust of wind.

“Since Mirania said that, it’s very…”

Mirania stared blankly as a bright smile spread across Leverianz’s lips.

‘I could see why the witches were so enthusiastic about Leverianz’s every move,’ Mirania thought.

Leverianz, smiling heartily, was as seductive and fragrant as a rose in full bloom.

“I feel good.”

Leverianz’s wings flapped loudly.

Whoops, soaring up, Leverianz turned sharply downward.

Whoosh—!

And the fall began.

The wind rushes towards their eyes, and Mirania squinted.

The silvery eyelashes were blown up by the wind.

The place where Leverianz landed was a sandy beach. It seemed to be located east of the beach where they had fled earlier.

Woo!

The water dragon’s cry was faintly audible.

Leverianz dropped Mirania off. Stepping on the ground, Mirania stared at the bats that began to fly behind Leverianz.

The cold fingers passed the hair behind the ears. Even though the energy of the flying bats was quite ferocious, it seems that they don’t matter

“Get your hands off.”

Grecan jumped from the top of the wyvern before he knew it and grabbed Leverianz’s wrist while growling.

Leverianz shook his head at Grecan.

“A spoiled child. I will kill you someday.”

Despite the hissing sound of a snake, Grecan didn’t blink an eye.

“Before that, you have to solve your own problems. You annoying bastard.”

Grecan tossed Leverianz’s wrist like throwing garbage.

The recoil twisted Leverianz’s body sideways.

“My Lord!”

A bat who had just stepped on the ground rushed in.

Leverianz glanced at his family with an annoyed look and glanced at Mirania.

The bat clan, shunned by him, glared at Mirania in rage.

Mirania, who received a conflicting gaze, frowned.

‘What the hell is going on?’

There has been little interaction with Leverianz and the bat clan since 15 years ago, except for occasional exchanges of news.

I, too, have been doing very little lately.

‘I think the last letter was to send Leverianz back soon.’

So there was no reason to stare at me with such an indignant look.

The bats landed on the sandy beach one after another. Soon the sandy beach was packed with more than a hundred bat tribes.

The problem was that they were glaring at her like looking at an enemy.

I looked for Scarlett to figure out the situation, but I couldn’t see her.

Instead, a beautiful red-haired woman stepped forward.

With the other bats conniving, Mirania guessed the identity of the woman.

‘You’re representing this group.’

The woman asked sharply before Mirania could speak first. “Lord, this location. What the hell are you doing?”

Mirania paused to speak.

The woman’s eyes hardened at the cold gaze.

A cold aura emanated from Mirania.

The woman’s eyes, which had been glaring as if enraged, lowered somewhat.

Mirania spoke only when she seemed a little polite.

Mirania said, “I hate talking to people I don’t even know.”

“… I am an assistant for my Lord.”

Although she looked reluctant, she was more polite than before.

“Yes, Assistant. What the hell is going on here?”

“What?”

“To bring a hundred bats in the middle of the night. Anyone who sees it would think that you took advantage of the time the Great Witch took advantage, went on a journey alone to attack her.”

The woman, who bows loosely but was startled by the sharp content, immediately protested, “It wasn’t like that at all.”

“If you didn’t come to harm me, then for what?”

At Mirania’s low-pitched voice, the woman gave a slightly confused expression.

Mirania turned her gaze to Leverianz as if to confirm.  Leverianz only frowned.

“I’m here to protect My Lord.”

“…?”

“Please keep the promise you made with my Lord 15 years ago. A promise to send him back when he gets better. I know that the disease is cured, but why are you detaining the successor of the bat tribe? Unless the witches have other ulterior motives…”

“Wait— For a moment.”

Mirania raised her hand to block her words.

‘I’m still listening to it, but I just wanted to know what this meant.’

“What do you mean? Am I detaining the Leverianz? I’m sure I sent a letter to send him back sooner or later. It was Scarlett who did not answer the letter.”

The woman frowned, her expression seems to tell that it could not be the case.

“The Lord has never received such a letter from the witches. The witches are the first to not respond to our letter. Even though we lost contact unilaterally, the Lord trusted you and was waiting for you. However, she couldn’t understand the news that you were going to the second continent with the heir, so I came forward like this.”

“…”

“Please explain.”

There was a hint of doubt on the woman’s face, who demanded it in a firm voice. She also seemed to realize something was wrong.

“There seems to be some misunderstanding.”

Mirania looked back slowly. Leverianz, whose eyes met hers, blinked obediently as if asking why she was staring at him.

However, it’s not like Mirania who has seen Leverianz for a year or two.

Her intuition was pointing to Leverianz as the culprit behind all this.

“Ahh,” exclaimed Grecan, and snorted, “Many times I’ve seen the bat bastard wander around the birds.”

“Shut up, Grecan!”

Leverianz shouted in a refreshing voice, but as always, Grecan ignored it lightly.

“I’ve also seen him catch a bird in the air with a piece of paper tied around its ankle.”

Leverianz’s expression became cold at the inexcusable testimony, but when he received Mirania’s gaze, he quickly changed his expression.

“I told you. They would only say useless things.”

“…”

“Would you rather believe them than me, Mirania?”

Leverianz’s sweet voice was so appealing that it was admirable, but Mirania nodded to herself.
