Chapter 203 - Kidnapping the Heirs of a Noble House: Just Another Day of War
In a dense forest, animals and monsters ran and hid at the sound of the wind tearing above their heads.
Passing over the treetops with a muffled roar, an immense red dragon cut through the air at extremely high speed, its enormous wings carving trails of turbulence in the sky.
It was an unusual sight in Milis — red dragons, by nature and territory, lived exclusively on the Central Continent. That, however, had changed recently.
Soldiers and commanders of the Sacred Country had learned to dread this vision in their territory. Not only because of the creature’s destructive power, but because they knew who rode it: Eris Adoldia, the Red Lioness.
A Dragon Knight, a Sword King, and, moreover, one of the wives of the current Sixth World Power — Rygar Adoldia.
As usual, she rode Ezkalor with mastery, her body slightly inclined, knees firm in the metal-and-leather saddle positioned on the dragon, her gaze as sharp as a blade slicing through the landscape below.
Her vibrant red hair was tied in a high ponytail, whipping furiously in the wind.
Her eyes, the same blazing crimson hue, scanned the green expanse of the forest below, always alert, always calculating.
The armor she wore was black and gleaming, made of a lightweight, resilient alloy forged especially for her.
It was snug, yet did not restrict her movements — a requirement of the Sword God Style, which valued mobility and speed above all else. Across her shoulders she still bore the traditional cloak of the Sword Sanctuary, fluttering in the wind.
Her blades, hanging at her waist, remained silent — for now — like predators lying in wait, anticipating the next battle.
