"Since that is the case, then what are you supposed to do now?" Adel was really a princess. She did not show any fear when facing all these guards.
"Do not worry, Princess, we will send out a team to track down the bandits, but…. We do not know if we will be able to bring her mother back in one piece…." The guard captain was right about this. With how much time it took the girl to even get here. If the bandits had already taken her mother, then she was either already dead or turned into a toy who wished she was dead.
"It's fine as long as you can bring some news." I did not want to give these guys too much of a hard time. I just wanted them to do their jobs.
"We will do our best." The guard captain suddenly knelt down and bowed his head to me. I really had the urge to fly to the castle and kick that bastard sitting on the throne.
"Please do not do this. I do not like it when people bow." I really hated it!

I sighed and looked at the young girl. I took out a few gold coins and put them in her hand before looking at one of the guards at the side.? "You, take her to get some new clothes and set her up in an inn with decent security. And inform her of any news once there is any. The money I gave her should be good for at least three months."
"Miss Cyrilia, do not worry I will fulfill my mission!" The guard saluted me before quickly helping the young girl up off the ground.
I watched as the stunned young girl walked off clutching the gold in her hand. I hoped she could at least get some kind of news about her mother soon. I turned to the guard captain after the girl disappeared and asked: "If you could, please help that girl find a job someplace so she can make a living. I highly doubt her mother will be alive or at least in the right state of mind."
"I already know a place. I will let the girl rest for a few days before bringing her over." The guard captain should really act like this all the time instead of being asked to do so. If he did, he would quickly rise through the ranks. I could say something but he would need to realize things for himself. Maybe one day he will learn to be a better person.
"Alright, make sure to make a full report to the king. I will ask him about it later." By forcing the guard captain to make a report to the king, not only was I gibing the old man some work but I was also making sure this guard captain did not slack on the job.
"We will go back into line. Please continue with your work." With that, I took Adel's hand and pulled her along as I flew into the air and returned to our carriage.
When we got back in and sat down I saw Adel's cheeks purffed out which made me poke them. "What is wrong with my Little Princess?"
"I just feel sorry for that girl. She went through such a horrible experience but there is nothing more than what you did I myself could do for her."
"This is just how this world is. While you could try to snuff out all the bad, but you will end up dying of old age before you can achieve anything. Even if you get rid of one bad person another will appear. It doesn't matter the race, it would always be the same." This was just the true nature of living beings. Even monsters had the good and the bad. Some were more violent than others and would kill their own kind. It was just nature itself. The art of natural selection.
"I see…. I guess life really gives you a lot of roadblocks that you have to overcome." I could tell Adel was not happy at all but there was nothing that could be done. I patted her head and let her snuggle up next to me while I looked out the window. I have no idea when it happened but Sophie was already using my lap as a pillow.
After about an hour, we finally made it through the gates. The guards did not make us pay a few. After all, the princess was in the carriage. If they asked her to pay a fee, it was basically saying, 'Hey, pay us so we can give it back to you later'.

It was the airship dock that would take us up to the floating island. I couldn't wait to see Grace. I haven't seen her since I started my journey here. Only Atolie would go check on her every few days at night. "Let's head out, shall we?"
"Faith, can you store the carriage so we can use it when we land?" Adel asked. I nodded and quickly stashed it away after everyone got off.
As we walked towards the VIP gate, many eyes were on us. It was a busy day today. I am not sure why, but there people going up to the floating island was much more than I had ever seen before. "Adel, what is going on?"
"Hehe!" All I got was a giggle, which meant she was up to something.
"What did you do this time?" I asked, giving her a look that said I know you did something.
"Noooothing!" I guess Adel was not planning on telling me. I could tickle her until she gave in but I did not want to ruin her fun. Adel would never do anything to harm me after all.
