Chapter 848 I, Alex!

Howling winds whistled past the griffin, and its two riders sat on its back in silence.

Firis’ eyes were bright red from crying, and there were still tears streaming uncontrollably down on her face, dripping onto her clothes. However, she remained completely silent, not even uttering a single sob as she stared up at the black-robed man sitting before her.

His black robes were flapping in the wind, and she could only see half of his mask from this angle, so she didn’t know what he looked like. However, the mask gave her quite a forbidding feeling, making her too afraid to say anything.

This was the man who the princess missed day and night, and she had even given birth to this man’s child.

Firis had heard countless legends about him.

Even though he was only a human, he’d become the greatest hero in the hearts of countless women under the heavens.

However, Firis didn’t care about all that. In fact, she detested him.

It was all because of him the princess had almost died three years ago. It was all because of him that the princess was being detested by so many people, and now, the princess had even been deposed because of him.

And what did he do in return? He abandoned the princess and took her instead.

How did a man like this deserve the princess?

She wanted to go back. Even if she were pitifully weak, she wanted to stay by Irina’s side, just to act as a meat shield for her if possible.

However, she couldn’t even see the Wind Forest now. She had never left the Wind Forest in her life, so she wouldn’t even be able to find her way back to her home.

As such, she became even more resentful toward this black-robed man.

A real man would never abandon his woman and run away on his own, especially when he was a powerful griffin-riding knight.

Mag turned around in a calm manner to look into eyes of the weeping Firis, and he asked, “Do you hate me?”

Firis’ heart shuddered slightly with fear as she looked into his eyes. Regardless of how much she resented him, he was still one of the most powerful beings on the entire continent, so she couldn’t help fearing him. However, she then thought of her princess, and a surge of courage suddenly welled up in her heart as she interrogated, “Why didn’t you take the princess away? Do you know how long she waited for you? How could you leave her there all by herself? They’ve gone insane! They’re going to kill her! Do you understand, you bastard?”

Mag looked at the infuriated Firis, and a wry smile appeared on his face. It was quite remarkable that a servant dared to speak to him despite knowing who he was, and that she was so desperate to remain by Irina’s side, even though doing so would spell certain death for her.

However, he couldn’t do anything. He respected Irina’s decision to stay in the Wind Forest, and in any case, he didn’t have the power to forcibly take her away. In fact, he didn’t even dare to remain in the Wind Forest for too long in case his cover was blown.

He was like a dog that was all bark with no bite, and his words could only intimidate others as long as they weren’t aware of his actual power level.

He knew that Irina was a smart woman who would protect herself, but it was just as Firis had said, he was indeed a bastard for leaving her behind. He couldn’t even compare with this servant of hers, who was determined to remain by her side until the bitter end.

He couldn’t afford to do that as he had to go back alive to Amy, who was waiting for him at home.

He had to cast aside all of his impulses and calm himself down so he could make the right decision.

This was not the time to throw everything away in the heat of the moment. Instead, he had to see the bigger picture.

“She’ll be fine, and I’ll rescue her for sure.” Mag looked at Firis as he said in a gentle voice, “For now, I’m going to take you to Chaos City, which will be a safe haven for you. Find a way to survive, and you’ll be reunited with Irina in the future.”

“I’m going to go back to the Wind Forest to protect the princess!” Firis countered in a stubborn manner.

“If you don’t want to see her getting hurt because of you, then I suggest you don’t do that,” Mag said in a calm voice before turning away and falling silent again.

“I…” Firis opened her mouth to say something, but she was at a loss for words. She turned back in the direction that they’d come from, and her tears began to flow again as she sobbed, “Princess… I’m so useless… I…”

She’ll be fine, right? Mag was also quite concerned as he cast his gaze into the distance.

There was a huge claymore strapped to his back, while two extremely eye-catching Red-top Tricolor Ducks that were still struggling were bound to the griffin’s back beside his left foot.

After crying for a while, Firis confirmed that there was no way to get down from the griffin’s back safely, and decided that she would indeed only weigh Irina down even if she were to return to the Wind Forest. After coming to terms with her situation, her attention was drawn to the ugly ducks, and a series of random thoughts flashed through her mind. Why did he catch those two ugly ducks? Where’s the young mistress? Could it be that he caught those ducks for the young mistress to eat? Are they living in Chaos City? If I can’t serve the princess, can I serve the young mistress instead?

However, Mag made no effort to explain himself. In fact, he didn’t even say anything else for the rest of the journey.

After flying for around two hours, a grand city appeared on the horizon, and the griffin began its descent.

At this point, Firis had been hesitating for a long while, and she finally mustered up her courage as she asked, “Can… Can I look after the young mistress?”

“Hmm?” Mag turned around with a rather surprised expression to find Firis looking at him with a beseeching look of anticipation in her eyes. It seemed that she’d found a new purpose, and her frail body was filled with strength again.

“No,” Mag replied in a quick and concise manner.

Firis’ hopeful expression instantly crumbled, and tears began to well up in her eyes again.

“I’m going to test you for a period of time. If you can live by yourself in Chaos City, then perhaps I’ll give you a chance. I’m not going to allow someone who can’t even look after herself to look after my daughter,” Mag continued in a calm voice.

Firis’ eyes lit up with renewed hope, and she looked at Mag with an earnest expression as she promised, “I’ll be sure to work hard and thrive in Chaos City!”

Mag nodded before turning around again as the griffin began to swoop downward.

Down below, in Chaos City.

“Look! What is that?”

“It looks like a griffin? But why isn’t it stopping outside the city?”

“Am I seeing this right? There seem to be purple stripes on that griffin!”

“Purple stripes? Purple stripes?!! That’s a purple-striped griffin! Is that Alex?!”

“It must be him! There’s only one purple-striped griffin in this entire world, so its rider has to be Alex!”

A massive stir quickly ran through the entire city.

Everyone looked up at the descending griffin with excitement on their faces.

“Get ready for battle!”

In contrast, the soldiers on the city walls were growing quite tense, and all of them tightened their grips on their spears in the face of this potential enemy.

The griffin landed on the city wall, and Mag rose to his feet as he turned to Firis, and said, “Go.”

Firis nodded in a solemn manner before carefully sliding down the wing of the griffin.

Mag looked around at the wary soldiers and the countless pairs of eyes looking up at him from down below, and announced, “From this day forth, I, Alex, will begin hunting all beings and groups that capture wandering elves against their will!”
