“Kyre-nim.”
‘Mm? Night was deepening in the covert. Finished with patrols and training, the wyverns had returned to their individual hangars. The covert was dimly lit by magic lamps placed here and there.
Someone called me from the side of a building shrouded in darkness. “Over here, over here…”
‘Holy! Its Igis!
As a member of Great Bajrans imperial bloodline, Igis was escorted by Imperial Knights in the covert as well. She was looking around and gesturing at me from within the darkness like a thieving cat.
“Oh, Imperial Princess…”
“Shh! Be quiet. I ditched the Imperial Knights and came out here.” The ladylike, refined Igis made a shushing motion at her lips while looking all around with a tense expression.
‘Heh, how cute.
This cautious appearance of hers was a rare sight. It was really adorable.
“Come with me.”
‘Regular clothes? Instead of the imperial training outfit embroidered with gold thread, Igis was wearing a normal airplate like me. I quietly moved into the shadowy side road.
‘Why is she looking for me so late at night? If we had a romantic relationship, I could understand her looking for me to share a lovey-dovey moment in a dark place, but we werent in that kind of relationship at all. Igis didnt let down her guard and scurried to take the lead.
‘I didnt even eat though…
The covert was still full of places to sightsee. The more I saw, the more questions I had about various things. As a result, time flew by and I hadnt even had dinner yet.
‘But whats with this sense of danger I feel?
The Imperial Princess wouldnt do anything bad, but I had a bad feeling. Moreover, Igis had ditched her guards and had clearly waited for me. Something was definitely up.
‘Eh, this is—!
After walking in silence with Igis for a while, we arrived at a very familiar place. It was the cursed hangar where Bebeto was staying.
Igis opened the creaking hangar side door and stepped in first.
‘Why here? Various thoughts were popping up in my mind.Its fishy… I have a bad feeling.
The noble Imperial Princess of Bajran had dragged me over to Bebetos hangar like a thieving cat. Shaking my head in puzzlement, I followed her inside.
* * *
‘Ah~! Whats this? A portable magic lantern was filling Bebetos hangar with a dim light.Why is there a saddle here?
Inside the hangar was a necessary item for riding a wyvern, a two-seater saddle.
“Bebeto, I have to return to the palace tomorrow. This time, I dont know when I can come back. I want to gift the sky to you before I go.”
‘Return? Gift? I failed to understand this puzzling situation.
‘Shes even got a key! Igis unlocked the steel shackles on Bebetos ankles with a key she got from who knows where.
“Erm, Your Highness. What are you doing now…?”
“Kyre-nim, I beseech you. Please… please help Bebeto see the sky.”
‘Why does she look like shes about to cry?
