"Aahh!!! Just walking to our destination is too boring! Can't we just look for a better and faster way to travel, you know, like a Engine Cart or an airship" Amadeia complained, however, her complaint was completely ignored, only given a deadpan stare by her fellow members.

"Get used to it, girlie. The latter is no longer being made 5 years ago and the former is just a waste of fuel." Butch spoke casually as he continued walking.

"Yeah. Get used to it." Margarine spoke afterwards, fixing her rifle's container.

"Exhausted already?" Kayblis asked, looking towards the pope, who nodded as a way to reply.

They actually walked for five hours straight since the time they set out, and Amadeia was actually tired because it was her first time having to walk continuously.

"We'll rest and talk for a while. That should do." Kayblis ordered, and everyone did as told.

After a long rest, and having to get to know each other a little, such as Suu wanting to , the group had proceeded to move for a few hours longer.

They've killed a few Wyverns and Wyvern Lords, yet Kayblis didn't level up. Although the party (except Kayblis and Suu) has enough experience to level up, they might have to visit a Level Shop at a town, though they are ultra rare. Only 9 Level Shops have been recorded to still exist today.

Once they continued, a few dragons noticed them and approached them without malicious intent.

Both dragons landed on the ground, and apparently, their massive sizes intimidated three of the party members on Kayblis's party, Butch and Margarine were both alert and almost took out their weapons.

Well, the only one who was speechless was Amadeia, who was originally scared.

"Please lower your weapons, we come in peace and are not here to hurt you." One of the dragons, the one with dark blue scales said, before transforming into a young teenager. His partner followed.

"We are here to simply send a message to this Human named Kayblis." The teenage blue haired man said, making Kayblis raise his hand.

"Is someone looking for me?" He replied, mildly surprising the dragons, and still not letting the guards of the veterans down. Whilst Suu was just eerily calm.

The two transformed dragons looked to each other, and nodded.

"Princess Camilla wishes to see you at our fortress, alone."

"Alone, huh... then I refuse. I will come if you let my allies come, too." Kayblis immediately replied, waiting for an answer from the dragons as they silently discussed what to do.

"Boss, I don't know what these guys are talking about, but I think that it's dangerous." Butch advised, barely trusting the dragons.

"Very well! We will allow you and your allies escort to our fortress, on a simply condition that you will not make conflict with us."

That was... quick.

Everyone in Kayblis' party was a little skeptical, yet still rode the dragons towards their fortress.

At the air, the Lis Humans who were riding on the two dragons had to completely hold tight.

"I must say! This form of transportation is unfamiliar to all of us Lis Humans, and experiencing it personally is even stranger!" Butch shouted at the air, yet he was barely heard.

Kayblis was standing on the head of the blue scaled dragon, unhindered by the pressure of the wind due to the use of magic.

After an hour, they have arrived on the fortress, that looked very neat as many dragons and transformed dragons were visibly training and preparing for something...

The two dragons that escorted them here landed on the ground and allowed the Lis Humans, Kayblis, Suu, Butch, Margarine, and Amadeia in specific order to hop down safely.

Both of the dragons then led the group to a castle, gaining the attention of many dragons that saw him.

[ PoV: Kayblis ]

[ Suu, Amadeia, Butch and Margarine has temporarily left the party ]

Right...

So I'm here, right in front of the room where the Princess of the Dragons awaited.

Everyone else in my party had to stay outside for certain reasons, but I expected that.

Well, time for the moment of truth...

I opened the doors to the next room, where she awaits and to my surprise, she's not the Camilla I expected, but still similar.

Sitting on a throne with her legs crossed, she observed by with surprise, which turned into a mix of emotions.

There's just me and her at this room.

"Welcome, great warrior Kayblis. I am the undefeated princess of Dragons, Camilla! And I require of your assistance." She spoke proudly, clearly not showing what I expected of her once she did introduce herself.

Well, maybe some part of her original self has to be there, but I guess I'll have to hear whatever she needs before I decide whatever I need to do.
