Morning had come and everyone was getting ready to leave for the Vorusan region. There were 5 noble carriages of the Altavis family that had been prepared with 10 soldiers from a selected elite troop unit who would be escorting them during the journey. And on one of the carriages was attached a flag belonging to the Altavis family that was fluttering.
"My dear, I want you to keep your promise! I want to sit on your lap and hug you!"
"Of course, my cute prince! Sit on my lap and hug me until you are satisfied!"
"My dear, I want to be carried by you all the way there!" Alvin asked spoiledly.
"As you wish, my cute prince." He replied while saluting.
"Hahaha."
They both laughed out loud after doing that ridiculous and embarrassing thing.
"Hahaha. Luckily no one is here. It would be embarrassing if anyone saw it."
"Hahaha. You're right, my dear. I don't know how embarrassed I will be. Let's get into the carriage!"
Kazien carried Alvin and they moved towards the carriage that had been prepared. But inside the mansion, everyone who was about to head to the carriage accidentally overheard their conversation.
In Victor's mind: When I first came here, I was very surprised to see a high elf living in this mansion with Duke Elgard. But after finding out who the high elf really was, I immediately didn't dare to look directly at his face. I don't know how young master Kazien met him. But seeing how everyone treated him, young master Kazien was very loved by his family.
Virena said that besides her, young master William and young master Davin's fiancées were also chosen by young master Kazien. They really trust young master Kazien. Even Duke Elgard and Duchess Larina also seemed to trust him very much. Young master Kazien is truly a great person!
Meanwhile in Karen's mind: Although not as handsome as young master Kazien, that high elf is also no less handsome than him. I don't know how they met. Even though the continents of Azvel and Reavel are very far apart. This family also welcomed me warmly. I never thought I would be the future wife of a famous noble in the Garveon kingdom.
Young Master Kazien, I'm so grateful to you for setting me up with Davin. Besides being handsome, he's also very kind and considerate of me. Before I knew it, I'd fallen for him.
A few moments later, everyone had gathered near the carriage. But inside one of the trains, Alvin was holding Kazien in his arms.
"Am I disturbing you two?" Virena asked.
"Would you like to sit with us?"
"It's already full there! We couldn't help but come to you! But it seems like it's impossible for us to sit inside here!"
"Who else wants to sit here?"
"Me, Victor, William, Rosalia, Rio and his wife!"
Hearing his sister's words, Kazien got out of the carriage while carrying Alvin and then closed the door again. His hand touched the wall of the carriage. The six of them were confused by what he was doing.
Not long after, Kazien said: "Let's go inside!"
When they entered the royal carriage, they were all amazed by the spacious room. The seats that previously could only accommodate 2 people, could now accommodate 8 people. And if you add them up, 16 people could sit inside the carriage.
"Is this because of your alchemy magic?" asked Virena who was still amazed.
"Yes, sis Virena. It's better than someone being left behind, right?"
"Hahaha. My little brother is indeed amazing!"
"But remember your promise! You have to take me to the place that has the magic book, you know."
"Okay, okay, I will definitely accompany you there!"
Then, the Duke Elgard family group left the mansion grounds. The journey would take four days to reach the city of Joltam, the center of the Vorusan region.
However, on the third day, a group of griffons suddenly intercepted their progress.
"Why did you stop? Is there a problem?"
"There is a group of griffons blocking us, Lord Duke Elgard."
Hearing the report, Kazien sat Alvin on a chair, then got down and ran towards the herd of griffons.
"Young master! Don't approach them!"
Kazien ignored it and continued running towards all the griffons.
I must be able to make all these griffons into the Altavis family's war fleet! I want to persuade them with the multilingual magic the goddess gave me.
He summoned the griffons with his right hand. A griffon that looked like their leader shot down and made everyone worry that Kazien would be injured. But the griffon only hovered nearby, glaring at him.
"Why aren't these humans afraid of me?"
"Why would I be afraid of you? I don't want to kill you!"
"You want to kill us?"
....
The griffon was silent and thought back to what had just happened.
.....
"Y-You can speak our language? Are you really human?"
"What cruel words you have! I am still human, you know! Human!" He replied angrily.
"Why are you waving your hand at me? Are you challenging me?"
"I don't want to hurt you! You better come down and we'll talk about it here!"
"I only obey the strong! If you can defeat me, I'll do what you say!"
GWAAAAKKKK!!!!!
The griffon suddenly let out a very loud sound that made all the soldiers cover their ears.
Kazien didn't move and continued to stare at the griffon with a sweet smile on his face.
What happened? This human can even hold back screams-
Thud!
The griffon's body suddenly hit the ground very hard.
Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud!
The other griffons also hit the ground.
"Ugh… My body can't move. What did you do?"
"I just cast wind magic that pressed down on your bodies by utilizing the gravity of this world!"
Kazien stepped closer to the griffon and crouched in front of it.
"I told you I don't want to hurt you. I just want to offer you a special offer!"
"Special offer? Do you want to enslave us? You better just kill us here!"
"I'm not that cruel! I want you to stay in Altavis and become our strength! I guarantee you'll never be hunted again!"
The griffon glared at him. But all he could feel was sincerity emanating from the human before him.
"Can you guarantee that other humans won't hunt us?"
"If you stay in our city, no one will hunt you anymore. You'll also be fed regularly."
"Okay, I admit defeat. I'll ask them too."
Kazien released his magic and the griffon approached the rest of his pack.
Everyone watched Kazien's actions in silence. They all had no idea what was happening there. Not long after, all the griffons landed. In unison, they saluted by raising their right front legs and spreading their wings wide.
"We all swear loyalty to you, master!"
"I'm happy that I haven't hurt cute creatures like you. Come with us!"
"Would you like to ride me, master?"
"May I?" Kazien asked, confirming but with enthusiasm.
The griffon lowered its body and allowed Kazien to mount it. Then, they soared through the sky.
"Wow! You're amazing! My name is Kazien, and I'll give you the name Lidaz!"
"I accept that name with great respect, Master Kazien!"
Everyone was stunned when they saw Kazien riding a griffon. Duke Elgard had to rub his eyes to make sure that what he was seeing was real.
"What's going on here? Has Kazien tamed all those griffons?"
Kazien approached them and said: "Let's continue our journey! All these griffons will go with us. And from today on, they are part of the Altavis family's fighting force!"
Duke Elgard could only gape at his son's antics.
"Ah... By the way, this one is called Lidaz. And he is the leader of the griffons."
"Gwak!!!" The griffon replied, addressing everyone.
"Are you really serious about what you said, Kazien?"
"Of course! Instead of killing them, it's better for them to stay with us there. Their food is not meat but fruit."
"Kazien, everyone will be excited by the arrival of dozens of these griffons."
"Dad, please don't worry too much about it. They're very friendly monsters, you know. They won't attack humans unless we attack them first. If we just pass by them, they won't attack us. But since we've already stopped, I might as well recruit them all. Hahaha."
