I don’t like him

With the wyverns, we made it back to the capital in no time at all.

It only took a single day of traveling, though we did stop midway to stay in one of the towns for the night. 

It was possible for us to make it back in the middle of the night with the speed of the wyverns, but it wasn't as if we could make our royal guest travel in the middle of the night like this.

So we stopped in the town, but that wasn't the only reason.

Even a fool was able to see the way that Ariel looked at the wyverns.

The other reason that we stopped was to give her a chance to ride around on the wyverns a bit longer. Though that did make the people of the town a bit anxious seeing the wyvern circling around the town like this.

The noble in charge of the town even came to find out what was happening, but there was nothing that he could do in the face of a decree that had my signature on it.
