After a month, it was time for them to depart for Valtia.
Liebe said, "You guys ready?"
Gelda, Eldrie, Alysa, and Licht screamed, "Let's go!"
Licht asked, "Be honest — are you still as mad at Professor Otiz as before?"
Liebe said, "Yes."
Licht said, "Honestly, for some reason, I don't doubt it. Seeing you chained up to a pillar was hilarious."
Alysa added, "Yeah, saying we were shocked is an understatement."
Liebe said, "Yeah, the toilet plan didn't work."
Gelda said, "Sad."
Liebe continued, "And Gelda, the lies you told were… so much. It literally made me cringe hearing them. And did you—god damn—forget that I relinquished my claim to the throne?"
Gelda said, "I'm sorry. That last part was out of line."
Liebe said, "Before you go, Licht, put my title on my right shoulder, and Alysa, put my title on my left shoulder."
Licht put his titanium Sverð Keisaraynju Faustar title on Liebe's right shoulder, and Alysa put the platinum Svart Conquista title on his left shoulder.
The reason for this was symbolic: Licht put on the metal title that represented the sword, symbolizing him as Liebe's strongest sword and friend, while Alysa put on the Conquista title because, through her, he had the confidence to conquer any battle.
Gelda said, "Those two titles truly suit you. Mind if I take a picture with Licht and Alysa beside you as well?"
Liebe said, "Sure."
Then they left. The battleship they were traveling in was quite large, and at a speed of 23 knots, they arrived at the capital of Valtia, Armos after 4 days. Upon landing, they met the representative from Aldia.
It was a birdman and his sister.
Liebe introduced himself: "I am Liebe Faust, Acting Captain of Black Rose and representative of Eldoria."
The man was someone with crimson hair and wings, and his sister had the same.
The man said, "I'm werner Crimson Mikado , and this is my sister, Mey scarlet Mikado. I am the representative of Aldia."
Liebe said, "A pleasure," and as he went to kiss Mey's right arm as a polite gesture, Mey hid behind Werner.
Werner said, "I am one of the top warriors of Aldia, and sorry for the rudeness — my sister has selective muteness.
Liebe said, "Oh, I'm so sorry, I didn't know."
Werner said, "We are followers of the God darkness."
Liebe said, "I've heard of it but never got the opportunity to research it myself."
Riwali then kissed Gelda's hand in a gesture of politeness.
