Chapter 654 Future of the wyverns (3)
The cloaked figures couldn't help revealing surprised stances when they heard this.
The ones behind the leader all looked at each other as if they were confused about this before the leader said, "If you have any punishment for us, we will accept it willingly."
The others all nodded before bowing their heads, as if they were waiting for their punishment.
That was because they knew what the fourth prince was really like.
If someone did something behind the fourth prince's back, he would definitely take action. Especially if it was someone who was close to the fourth prince.
They wanted to ask for punishment now so that he would be more lenient about them not reporting this matter to him.
The fourth prince just looked at them with a calm look on his face before shaking his head and saying, "It's not your fault, so why would I punish you?" He turned back to look at me to say, "I'm sure that you were just caught up in whatever he was doing and you had no choice but to go along with it."
As the fourth prince looked at me, I just revealed a faint smile.
But it was a completely different reaction from the cloaked figures that were standing behind the fourth prince.
Though their expressions couldn't be seen, it was very clear by the way that they were standing just how they felt about this matter. The surprised stance that they had couldn't be mistaken for anything else.
It was clear that they didn't understand what was happening.
It was almost as if they were looking at the fourth prince like they were looking at a completely different person.
But the fourth prince just ignored them as he kept looking at me.
After waiting for some time, the wyverns that had been fighting stopped fighting with each other as a winner had been declared.
When they happened, the fourth prince said, "Can I go and take a look at them?"
I gave a nod in response and led the fourth prince into the clearing where the wyverns were.
The cloaked figures that had been behind him had been in a daze the entire time, but seeing the fourth prince moving, they snapped out of that daze. Though it was clear by how they were moving a bit slow that they were still surprised by the actions of the fourth prince, they still followed him without hesitation.
That just went to show just how well trained they were and how loyal they were.
When we came over, the ones that had been training immediately came over to salute us.
Even the wyverns acted a bit more respectful seeing me.
That was because there was a single wyvern that was glaring at them to make them respectful.
After that wyvern suppressed these other wyverns, she came over to my side in a happy manner like she was happy to see me.
The fourth prince wasn't surprised at all to see Joan come over to my side and he just stood there with an intrigued look on his face as he looked at her while she rubbed her face against mine.
After a while, he said, "Can I ride her?"
I was surprised to hear this from the fourth prince since I never thought that someone like him would ask something like this.
But seeing the look on his face, it was hard to say no.
So with a nod, I got on Joan's back and then reached my hand down for him to come up as well.
The cloaked figures behind the fourth prince looked like they were panicking, but they didn't stop him. Instead, they went to their own wyverns that had been staying in this clearing and quickly mounted them.
It was as if they were prepared to take off at any moment.
It seemed that they were already used to the fourth prince's willfulness and knew that instead of trying to stop him, it was better for them to try and figure out a way to keep him safe.
The fourth prince took my hand during all of this and got on Joan's back with me.
Once he was on, I had Joan take off.
As we flew into the sky, I could feel the fourth prince's hand gripping me from behind.
It seemed that no matter how bold the fourth prince was, he still wasn't able to remain calm when being shot up into the sky like this. Though to be fair, this was an experience that most people couldn't stay calm in.
The feeling of wind rushing past you really was one that was just too thrilling and shocking that one couldn't help feeling fearful.
But once we were in the sky, the fourth prince suddenly let go of me and looked around us.
"Ha, ha, ha, so this is the feeling of flying." The fourth prince said in an excited voice before doing something that even shocked me.
He had let go of me, but he didn't stop there.
The fourth prince suddenly got up on Joan's back and started walking around.
Even someone like me who had gotten used to riding on Joan's back couldn't do something like this. However, the fourth prince had done it without any hesitation.
The good thing was that he didn't fall right away even though there was a strong wind blowing past us.
However, I couldn't help looking at him with a worried look as he just walked on her back and turned his head around like a child in a candy store.
Finally, I couldn't take it anymore and said, "Brother, please sit down. Doing something like this is dangerous."
"Ha, ha, ha, what's dangerous about…"
Before he could finish, there was a powerful gust of wind that suddenly swept the fourth prince off his feet.
Not only that…it swept him off Joan's back.
