Chapter 19: When i become king.
Alfred remained outside the cellhouse, his face fixed with confusion as he tried to understand how a huge bird was sleeping in the passage.
"Young prince, please don’t move. I’ll get you out of there as soon as I slay this beast." Alfred took a fighting stance, ready to launch himself forward.
"Wait, Alfred, I summoned it!"
Sylus was quick to speak, his hand holding the iron bars so he could push himself up.
Aria had taken up most of the space in the cell with just his head, so the best he could do the moment he could get to his feet was to press his entire body against the wall in order not to get crushed to death.
Alfred, on the other hand, paused.
"What did you say, Your Highness?" He took glances at Sylus and then at the bird.
"I said, ’Wait, Alfred, I summoned it!’"
"This creature that spawned out of nowhere belongs to you, my lord?"
"Yes, here, watch—"
With the little space he had, Sylus managed to turn his head, giving him just enough distance to whisper to Aria.
