In reaction to what I said, the prince and Canditia both have gathered a squad of elite mages and swordsmen.
Not so to much to my surprise, dear old brother was amongst their ranks along with a few faces I did not want to see. He was ridding a frost griffin.
Carlos bartfort, the heir to a Duke and Priscilla's promised man showed up ridding a beast of mount. A breed between a bear and a tiger. A red Tigger twice the size of a bear, so magestic that I was tempted to take it from him but I held myself back.
Lukretus and Canditia on the other hand were ridding white winged horses orned with gold and silver armor much more decorated than the heavenly horses the other knights of the squad were ridding on.
In total there were 25 person if you count me amongst them.
I made my entrance a bit flashy by literally appearing a flash of dark pink thunder striking the land. The sparks of lightning turned into translucent crystal pink butterflies fluttering around me as I walked towards them.
Impudently, the knights raised their arms pointing their weapons towards me.
Lukretus ordered the knights
His statement was correct but I couldn't help but read in between the lines." An ally only until the ancient evil is defeated".
The knight lowered their weapons but the tension remained up so did their guard.
For the mean time, I decided to ignore them and walk towards the ship. I kicked off the ground launching myself up with telekinetic powers and landing on the main deck of the ship then I turned back and looked at them raising an eye brow

It took them hours before they Finnaly decided to get on the ship and set sail.
They went through a ritual ceremony praying for blessings and actually receiving them, loading the supplies and their mounts, sending letters to the point I almost grabbed Canditia like a potato sack and flew towards said ancient evil two vs one destroying it before leaving this hellhole.
But I was convinced against it by the witches hiding in my shadow relaying Cassandra's message "You can't defeat it alone".
That's right, I too have allies currently hiding in my shadow thanks to a certain witch with the power to manipulate shadows called Amber.
In total there are ten witches inside my shadow each with abilities so powerful it earned them the highest rank amongst the coven witches under Cassandra's order. Of course, Trudy is amongst them.
The journey to the dark continent is going to be perilous and having some allies that are actually on my side is a little bit reassuring...
I let out a sigh staring out the window
