The wind whipping through my hair was exhilarating, a stark contrast to the suffocating feeling that had gripped me in the banquet hall. I was grateful for the wyvern queen's timely arrival, which had spared me the agony of facing Kieran and the rest of the court.
The wyvern queen's voice broke the silence, her words filled with gratitude. "My Liege, thank you for saving my young one before. With this, I've repaid my debt."
I gazed up at the star-studded night sky, feeling a sense of humility wash over me. "It was nothing," I replied, my voice barely above a whisper.
The rest of our journey was spent in comfortable silence, the only sound the rhythmic beating of the wyvern queen's wings. But as we flew over the dark landscape.
"My Liege, can we turn around?" She asked, "I forgot something important back at the palace."
Aren't we thirty minutes away from the Imperial Palace? "Yes, we can; if it's an important task, then it's worth turning back for."
