The whistling wind blew past the griffin, making the man and the fairy sitting atop it seem rather silent.
Alice, whose eyes were red from crying, sat at the back. Her tears continued to flow down her cheeks and drip onto her clothes. However, she didn't cry at all. With teary eyes, she looked at the man, who was wearing a black robe and was sitting in front of her, as straight as a sword.
His clothes were fluttering in the wind, and she could only see half of his black and white mask. She didn't know what kind of face was hidden under that mask, but that mask gave off an unapproachable feeling, so much so that she didn't even dare to make a sound.
This man was the man that the princess had been longing for, and he was also the man who had once driven her crazy. He was also the man who had given birth to a baby with her.
Alice had heard countless legends about him.
Even though he was only a human, he had become a hero in the hearts of all the young women in the world.
However, Alice didn't care about all of this. In fact, she even hated him a little.
It was because of him that the princess had almost died three years ago. It was because of him that the princess had become a thorn in the side of so many people. It was because of him that the princess had been deposed from her position as the princess today.
And just now, he actually left the princess behind and ran away with her.
How could a man like him be worthy of the princess?
She wanted to go back. Even though her power was insignificant, she still wanted to stay by the princess' side, even if it meant that she could only block an insignificant spell for her.
However, she couldn't see The Wind Forest anymore. She had never left the forest in her entire life, and if she were to go back now, she wouldn't even be able to find her way.
As such, her resentment toward the man in front of her deepened even further.
A real man would never abandon his woman and run away, not to mention that he was a powerful Gryphon Knight.
"Do you hate me?"
Meg turned around and looked at the weeping Alice. His gaze lingered on her eyes for a moment before he asked in a calm manner.
Alice's heart trembled slightly at the sight of those eyes, and she was a little scared. No matter how much resentment she felt, this was still a man who could send Borg flying with the help of a griffin. However, at the thought of the princess, she couldn't help but turn to Meg as she asked, "Why didn't you take the princess with you? Do you know how long she waited for you? How could you bear to leave her there alone? They've gone crazy, and they'll kill the princess! You bastard! "
Meg looked at the hysterical Alice and smiled bitterly. She was just a little maid. She knew who he was, but she still dared to talk to him like that. She knew that she would die, but she was still willing to stay and accompany Irina.
But he couldn't. He respected Irina's choice to stay because he didn't have the strength to forcefully take her out of the encirclement. He didn't even dare to stay for long in case he was exposed.
Right now, he was just a paper tiger that could be broken with a single poke. Maintaining a sense of mystery had instead become his weapon, which could achieve a certain degree of deterrence.
Although he felt that Irina was a smart woman who knew how to protect herself, as Alice said, he was indeed a bastard who left Irina alone. He was even worse than a maid who accompanied her.
Because he wanted to go back alive, Amy was still waiting for him at home.
He let go of all the hot-blooded thoughts and calmly thought about what he should do and what he shouldn't do now.
What he wanted was not a momentary impulse, but a long and stable life.
"She'll be fine; I'll get her out of here." Meg looked at Alice, and his voice softened slightly as he said, "I'm going to take you to Chaos City now. You'll be protected there, and you'll find a way to survive."
"I'll go back to The Wind Forest and protect the princess!" Alice looked at Meg with a determined expression.
"If you don't want her to be hurt because of you, then it's best that you don't do that." Meg said in a calm voice before turning away and falling silent. He was still standing on the griffin's back like a longsword.
"I …" Alice's mouth gaped open slightly as she looked at Meg's departing figure, but she was unable to say anything else. She turned back toward the direction that they had come from, and tears began to flow from her eyes like pearls from a broken necklace. "Princess … I'm so useless … I …"
"She'll be fine, right?" Meg also looked into the distance with a hint of concern in his heart.
His longsword was standing beside him, and the two Red-top Tricolor Ducks that were still struggling beside his left foot were quite eye-catching.
Even Alice, whose eyes were slightly swollen from crying, couldn't help but be drawn to the two ugly ducks after ascertaining that she wouldn't be able to fly down from the sky, and that she would only be a burden to Meg if she went back. She thought to herself, Why did he catch two such ugly ducks? Where's the little mistress? Could it be that he's bringing these two ducks back for the little mistress to eat? Do they live in Chaos City? If I can't take care of the princess, then can I take care of the little mistress?
However, Meg had no intention of explaining himself. In fact, he didn't even say anything along the way.
They flew for two hours, and a majestic city appeared in their field of vision, following which the griffin began to descend.
After hesitating for a long while, Alice looked at Meg's departing figure, and mustered up her courage as she asked, "Can … Can I take care of the little mistress?"
"Hmm?" Meg turned to look at Alice with a hint of surprise in his eyes. The little girl was looking at him with an expectant and pleading expression, and her frail body seemed to be filled with energy.
"No." Meg's reply was quick and decisive.
Alice's expression immediately darkened, and the tears that had just stopped welled up in her eyes again.
"I'm going to test you for a while. If you can survive in Chaos City, then perhaps I'll give you a chance. I won't hand my daughter over to someone who can't take care of herself." Meg's calm voice sounded again.
Alice's eyes lit up again, and she looked at Meg with a serious expression as she said, "I'll do my best! I'm going to live a good life in Chaos City! "
Mag nodded slightly. He turned around and steered the griffin downward.
Down below, in Chaos City.
"Look! What's that? "
"That looks like a griffin, right? But why isn't it stopping outside the city? "
"But this griffin looks a little strange. Does it have purple stripes?"
"Purple stripes? Purple stripes!!! A purple-striped griffin! Could that be Alex?! "
"It's him! There's only one purple-striped griffin in this world! It has to be Alex! "
Chaos City. Instantly!
Everyone looked up at the griffin that was swooping down from the sky with excitement on their faces.
"Be on guard!"
The soldiers on the city wall of Chaos City became a little nervous as they gripped their spears tightly. They didn't know the purpose of the griffin's arrival.
The griffin landed on the city wall.
Meg stood up, and said to Alice, "Go."
"Mm-hm." Alice nodded solemnly before carefully sliding down from the griffin's wing.
Meg looked around at the wary soldiers and countless pairs of eyes that were looking up at him, and solemnly said, "Let's go.
