Chapter 140
I blinked slowly, and Kiaros gently pulled back.
Then, kindly, he said,
“You can use a teleport scroll, right? Get out of here first and head to a safe place. I’ll rescue Cedric Roafi and bring him to you. His Majesty will be arriving soon, too.”
Now that he mentioned it... I’d been wondering how Kiaros had managed to get here in less than two days. So he’d come together with the Emperor?
[Well, I can transform into a scaly form, but I’m not old enough yet. Just wait a bit longer. If you want, I can live without ever showing you—but I really want to give you a ride. Flying here felt pretty good.]
That line from earlier...
So that’s what it meant. Not a scaly horse, but... a dragon.
According to records, it usually took four days—but maybe if he pushed himself, he could get here faster.
He becomes a dragon at twenty-five... so it wasn’t a lie, technically.
Something about that felt incredibly unfair.
Kiaros must’ve read my thoughts in my eyes, because he gave a sly smile and said teasingly,
“You really went on about the scales earlier. Dragons have scales too, you know.”
