Chapter 114: Sleep-Deprived Flight
I kept talking to the empress about my plan to capture Romanov, and she was on board with it as she wanted to humiliate the man who brought her so much trouble in the middle of a war.
However, the empress inquired how I was planning to get to the port town quickly since not even her fastest riders would be able to make it in time.
"Same way I got here. Flying..." I replied, surprising the woman.
"I guess I didn’t even think about how you managed to get here in the first place..." said the empress as she scratched the back of her head.
After I explained to her that I could teleport to a place I had been before, I told her I would bring the prisoners back to the abandoned house we were using as a hideout.
Of course, I gave her the address so that she could send a few guards to look over the place. Gina was going to stay there anyway, so it’s not like they were defenseless.
"I see..." The empress said as she started pondering something in silence.
"Anything on your mind?" I asked, thinking that she could be having other problems that I didn’t know about.
Empress Lysandra shook her head and gazed at me again with a serious face before casting "Inspect." However, I still had everything censored, which seemed to irritate her more than surprise her.
"I get it. You want to know if I can be trusted. I mean, I did bring the scorpion pins for this exact reason..." I said.
Lysandra took a few steps back and reached under her pillow, pulling out an adamantite dagger that looked quite nice, to be honest.
