"Then, Thales," he whispered:

"Please remember our promise."

Thales was startled.

"promise?"

he asked in confusion.

"Yes."

This time, Dele's voice was low and thick, just like his expression.

"Six years ago, when your carriage left the royal capital and headed north to Exeter."

The owner of the One-Winged Crow, the Earl of Wing Castle whispered in the young man’s ear:

"The promise we made to you."

six years ago……

Driving away from the royal capital...

When heading north to Exeter...

Their……

promise.

At that moment, Thales was stunned when he remembered something.

Thales raised his head suddenly and looked at him in surprise.

"You...you guys?"

The earl let go of his hand, looked resolute and nodded heavily:

"It still works."

The next moment, before Thales could react, Dele pinched the horse's belly, turned the horse's head amidst the roar, and gathered together with his "headed crow".

Go away with raised hooves.

"Rumble..."

Thales was riding alone on the horse, staring blankly at Dele's back as he left.

On the other side, Marius raised his eyebrows and waved his hand in the same way, and the royal guards and standing troops all caught up and swarmed towards the prince.

"Rumble..."

The endless sound of horse hooves merged into two streams, one leaving and the other entering.

Behind him, the dark Crow Whistle Qingqi and the Black Lion Corps left his side, turned left together, made a semicircle and returned home. Along with the rumbling footsteps like war drums, there were endless dark and deep waves.

"Think, thump, thump..."

In front of him, a bright-colored royal guard and standing army came towards him from his right front, filling the gap vacated by his side. The horses' hooves were flying, and their armor was shining, creating a dazzling cold light.

Looking from the sky, it looks like two turbulent black and white torrents of different colors, colliding head-on in a spectacular whirlpool, and splitting at the center of the circle.

The waves are surging, but the lines are clear.

Only Thales.

He was like an almost invisible dot on the ground, standing blankly in the center of two huge waves.

Facing the tearing of two huge waves.

Alone and independent.

Bewildered and lost.

negligible.

I do not know how long it has been.

A familiar and gentle voice sounded in my ears:

"Now, please come with me."

Thales raised his head in a daze.

"Honorable……"

He saw Gilbert standing in front of him, with eyes sparkling and his tone fluctuating, saying the new title:
