Chapter 459 - Riding A Ship
Chapter 459 - Riding A Ship
Lawrend's group rode Clova to the southeast. They headed to Sorba Port City. In the dark of the night, the moon hung low.
Their journey was silent as no one said anything. The envoys of the empire should have realized it by now. After all, they had kept their eyes keener on the Royal Castle after the emperor issued his decree.
They were heading to Sorba Port City because Clova couldn't fly for so long. Just a ship takes three months at sea to reach the other continent. If that's converted to Clova's flight time, then it would take at least two weeks.
If they rode Clova's back for so long, they would sore their back, and they would become tired pretty quickly. Not to mention, it would also be impossible to sleep.
They would fall if they slept and slipped from her back. That would cause one to plummet to death.
They rode on Clova's back for 4 hours before they arrived at Sorba Port City. By the time they arrived, it was already almost sunrise.
They jumped down from Clova's back and directly entered the city. As for the guards that tried to stop and inspect them, they were all gagged and thrown to the side by Aleshia.
After he became king, Lawrend was much more appreciative of these guards. He won't kill them like they did last time.
"Master, are we meeting my idiot of a brother?" Aezel asked.
"Yes. Let's take him with us. I don't want him to keep managing the affairs of a human city such as this one. It's very important for the kingdom. Otherwise, no more ships would dare dock here once they heard that the City Lord was a demon," Lawrend replied to her in agreement.
"Yes, Master."
Aezel nodded her head.
They rode a carriage and headed to the City Lord's mansion. Since they were in haste, Amene decided to shout at the pedestrians and carriages ahead of them.
As a result, she made their travel time shorter.
They arrived at the City Lord's mansion after a dozen minutes. They don't know if the envoys will arrive soon. They could be using a Magical Artifact to boost their speed significantly.
"Eldest Sister!?"
The moment they opened the door to the City Lord's office, Asmodaois stared at Aezel in disbelief.
"What are you looking at? Do you want me to zap your dick?" Aezel asked coldly.
"N-No! I definitely don't!" Asmodaois shouted and covered his crotch area.
"Good. Come with us," Aezel said.
"Are you finally returning home!?" Asmodaois exclaimed in excitement.
"No. I will send you back as we travel through the seas. I don't want to see your face here again," Aezel replied flatly.
"Elder Sister, I told you that I won't come back without you!" Asmodaois shouted angrily.
"Do you think I care about your opinion?" Aezel asked and raised her chin up.
"N-No…"
Asmodaois lowered his head obediently.
"Follow us. Abandon your position. My Master doesn't need you anymore," Aezel said.
"Yes."
Asmodaois followed behind them obediently as they left the room.
"Do you know if any ships are sailing to the Altro Continent at this time?" Lawrend asked.
Asmodaois looked at Lawrend before looking at the angry-looking Aezel. He realized that he would have to answer this human's question, or he would suffer his eldest sister's wrath.
"Yes. There are three of them. Some would take a longer route as they would also gather materials at the bottom of the ocean," Asmodaois answered.
"Aezel, why did you say that you will send him home?" Lawrend asked.
Just a few seconds ago, she told Asmodaois that she would send him home.
"Master, I will tell you after we enter the carriage," Aezel said.
They soon left the City Lord's mansion and entered into the carriage. The convoy of three carriages left together and headed to the ports.
"Master, the rift to the demon world that I talked to you about before when we first met is close to one of the routes. That's how I hijacked one of the ships," Aezel said.
"I see. So which is it?"
"Spit it out!" Aezel said and pinched Asmodaois' ear.
"Ow! Ow! Ow!"
The look of powerlessness on his face made it difficult to comprehend that a big person like him would surrender to Aezel, who was but a slender woman.
"The one filled with express goods! That's the one that will pass by the rift!" Asmodaois answered immediately.
"Good."
Seeing that he was obedient, Aezel released his ear. Asmodaois grabbed that reddened ear of his and massaged it with his hand. He had a pitiful expression on his face as he looked at her.
"Alright. Let's ride that ship then," Lawrend replied.
They soon got in line and boarded a large wooden ship. Down below, there were pulleys and manual cranes that carried large crates onto the deck of the ship.
They were then stored under the deck by the crew.
"Master, is this your first time boarding a ship?" Aezel asked.
She felt excited to teach him the ways to ride a ship.
"It should be Master's first time," Aleshia replied.
"It's actually not my first time," Lawrend said and smiled at the two of them.
A look of shock immediately covered Aleshia's face. She knew him very well and accompanied him from the very start. She never knew that he rode a ship before.
The closest he got to a ship was when Aezel attacked the port of Sheron Port City.
"Don't worry about me. Girls, are you okay?"
Lawrend turned to his other maids. As they were on the deck, the waves were particularly nauseating.
"N-Nyaaa… I'm getting dizzy…" Amene said.
"Nyaaaa…"
Grape rested her arms on the railing of the ship.
Lawrend went behind Grape and rubbed her back. She was pregnant, and it didn't seem like a good idea for her to ride a ship.
As demihumans, the two of them were very sensitive to motion… They weren't moving, but the ship was moving up and down, which made them nauseated.
