The next day, the First Dragon Slayer General, along with his children and other generals, came to see them off and help Erza and the others carry their luggage onto the train.
Erza looked at the Dragon Slayer General and the others, a smile spreading across her face: "No need to see me off, you can go back now!"
"Your Highness, please remember to come back often. This will always be your home. If you encounter any trouble, please let me know. If necessary, the entire kingdom will mobilize and we can even wipe out the Magic Council."
"Never suffer any injustice outside. Our kingdom has no shortage of money or powerful mages..."
The number one dragon-slaying general looked reluctant to part with her, and kept nagging like an old woman, from the palace to the station without stopping.
"My dad is right!"
The second-in-command nodded in agreement and waved his fist with an air of dominance: "Anyone who dares to make you suffer, I will definitely lead my troops to wipe them out!"
Gajeel turned around and shouted, "Hey! Dragon Slayer General Number One, if you have any news about other dragons, remember to send someone to tell us."
Natsu laughed loudly, "Number 11, come back next time, I'll definitely defeat you!"
Number Eleven looked at this somewhat silly, hot-blooded young man and couldn't help but chuckle: "Alright! I'll be waiting for you!"
"Your Highness, and the four young heroes, have a safe journey!"
"Come back and visit often in the future. If you encounter any problems that you can't solve, remember to let us know, and the kingdom will definitely come to your aid!"
Many kingdom generals watched them board the train and waved goodbye once more.
"goodbye!"
The three people and two cats were also somewhat reluctant to part, and waved their hands vigorously.
Although they had only spent a few days together, they genuinely loved the place. Everything and everyone there went their way, and they had everything they wanted. It was as if the entire kingdom was holding them in the palm of its hand.
This feeling is better than any dream.
...
Three days passed in the blink of an eye
The three people and two cats finally returned to Magnolia Town, kicked open the guild door again, and laughed loudly as they looked at their familiar and noisy companions: "We're back!"
Welcome back!
"Erza, how's the SS-rank mission going?"
Have you seen a dragon?
Gray and his friends quickly surrounded him, chattering excitedly.
"Of course, we even fought a dragon!"
Natsu and Happy jumped onto the table and vividly recounted how they fought the dragon, how powerful the dragon was, how wonderful the Kingdom of Dragunov was, and how hospitable the people there were.
Of course, Erza has already asked Natsu and the others to temporarily conceal the fact that she is the princess of the Kingdom of Dragunov, otherwise, if the news gets out, it will be easy for people to associate it with her parents' identities.
You should know that every member of Fairy Tail is a big mouth; if they say something today, the old lady on the street killing fish will know about it tomorrow.
Gray couldn't help but yell, "Are you guys on a mission or on vacation?"
You're treated to lavish banquets every day, with every whim you get. Have you all gone to heaven?
I should have gone too!
Lucy listened with immense envy, wondering why she never got such a good opportunity.
Every time she went on a mission, she was either being beaten or on her way to being beaten.
Eileen stepped over, opened her arms, and hugged Erza, smiling as she asked, "How was your trip to the kingdom?"
Erza rolled her eyes: "Why don't you go back and see for yourself? The First Dragon Slayer General is very enthusiastic."
She gently turned her body, reached out and hugged Eileen's waist, burying her head in the warm, full breasts.
Thinking of her mother and father's life-or-death battle with the dragons four hundred years ago, she felt a lump in her throat and an urge to cry.
She didn't know why, even though it was such a long time ago...
Irene could sense Erza's heartbeat and emotions, and gently stroked her hair.
After a while, Erza composed herself, her expression returning to normal. She released her grip and asked, "Where did Dad go?"
Eileen thought for a moment and said, "A few days ago, he sensed the magic power you used in your battle with the Red Dragon King Osta, so he went to find you."
Erza exclaimed in surprise, "Dad went looking for me? I didn't see him. Did he run into that dragon?"
She was somewhat worried that if her father really clashed with the Red Dragon King, Austa, things might get dangerous.
She didn't know how strong her father was, but she knew firsthand how powerful that evil dragon was.
Eileen frowned slightly: "He should have been back by now..."
Seeing Erza's worried expression, she smiled and comforted her, "Don't worry, that Red Dragon King Osta is no match for your father. He must have something else to do."
He defeated ten thousand dragons back then, let alone now that only the Red Dragon King Osta remains. Does that mean that after four hundred years, he is stronger than ten thousand dragons combined?
...
Actually, after Acnologia defeated the Red Dragon King Osta, he was planning to return to the guild when he sensed the presence of another evil dragon, a dragon he had never seen before, filled with an aura of death.
As he gave chase, the dragon sensed his presence and vanished, leaving him empty-handed.
Judging from its aura alone, it should be a dragon king, possibly not much weaker than the red dragon king, Osta.
This left him bewildered and uncertain. A dragon that hadn't appeared for four hundred years—that guy was either just hiding or brewing a huge conspiracy, and its danger level was definitely far greater than that of the Red Dragon King, that reckless fool.
There are still too many hidden beings in this world, unknown dragons, and perhaps even gods. Judging based solely on the known plot is too hasty.
Acnologia flew towards Magnolia Town, passing through a market where it saw Ulu and Ultear, who had been missing for a long time.
Judging from their behavior, Ulu was explaining something, while Ultear was ignoring her.
He landed back on the ground and stopped not far from the two of them, listening intently to what they were saying through the crowd.
On the other side, Ultear's expression was gloomy as she angrily shook off Uru's hand: "You abandoned me back then, so why are you looking for me now? I already have my own life."
Ulu looked dejected: "I'm sorry, it's my fault. I shouldn't have left you there alone."
"But I was also scammed..."
"Stop telling me about being scammed or not, those are all just excuses!"
Urudia remained indifferent. Was this what she wanted to hear?
You already have Grey and Leon, do you still need me, your daughter?
Wu Lu wasn't good at expressing herself either. Seeing her daughter's icy demeanor, she was at a loss for what to do. But she didn't want to watch her daughter leave, so she could only follow her wherever she went.
Acunorokia was speechless. How long would it take to persuade her daughter like this? At this moment, the best thing to do is to give her a loving hug, then have a good cry, and everything will be fine.
