It had been one week and Jecht and Siri started to set sail to the Mystic Contentment. Jecht was bandaged up since his fight with Siegfried and was sitting in his cabin with Claire who decided to come with or ordered to by Siegfried. Siri was exploring the ship since it was her first time on one. Jecht was thinking about how Siri reacted to the ruins of Dragonia and remembers his conversion after his battle with Siegfried with him in his office.
Siegfried had a new mask on his face sitting in his office at his desk as Jecht was in front of him.
"So, have you decided to go Jecht?" asked Siegfried.
"Yes, I will bring her home as I promised." said Jecht. "we can't keep it from her forever especially if she tries to find out herself."
"I see. you have thought of what she would do," said Siegfried. "you have a tactician's mind. Very well I will get a ship ready and you will bring Siri to Dragonia. I just hope you be ready for the aftermath."
"I am. Siri wants to go back home even if would sadden her. But I will be there for her," said Jecht.
"Thank you, Jecht, you bigger man than some," said Siegfried.
"I was wondering something. Why not give Siri back to Empire?" asked Jecht.
"I see you want to know my motives. The Empire and I do not see eye to eye even as Imperial Commander one the highest rank in the Empire. They even only have me in command of this city that has been ruled by my family the Fairmount Noble Family since its founding." said Siegfried. "I plan to overthrow the Empire to end the war with Everton. Siri was just another dragon for them to kill for her powers and I plan to write this wrong after I do this any Dragon Extraction of power will be removed. I will not ask you to fight with us Jecht your main mission is to protect Siri at all cost even if cost you your life. Once you get to Towerfall and after Dragonia I want you to go in hiding till it's all over then return to us."
"I see," said Jecht. "I know now to trust you."
"It is fine if you do not Jecht. But I guess for now we are just allying then," said Siegfried.
"You look puzzled," said Claire.
"Yeah, I'm just preparing myself for Dragonia," said Jecht.
"It will not be easy. She a strong girl it will just be another challenge for her to overcome," said Claire.
"Yeah, But a kid shouldn't face these challenges hiding from an Empire that only wants her for her power," said Jecht.
"Well hopefully the Empire has fallen by the time return to it," said Claire. "but in the meantime, we should find a place after our visit to Dragonia."
"Yeah," said Jecht. He gets up and heads to his room to lie down and falls asleep.
