“Ugh…”

I stumbled coming out of the teleportation gate and pressed my fingers firmly against my temples to keep my head from popping.

Sylvie scampered next to me, happy to be out in the open again.

“Kyu!” She had a big stretch on the grass before looking up at me, signaling that she was ready.

‘That man was scary, Papa,’ Sylvie’s voice rang in my mind.

“Yeah, he didn’t really come off as easygoing to me either,” I responded.

The place we had landed was a familiar one. It was near the area where Tess had first brought us to get into the Kingdom of Elenoir. Of course, this time, we were going to have to knock on the front gates like most people, but it wasn’t too much of a problem to get inside the kingdom now that the three races were more or less in harmony.

Every time I thought of the word ‘race’ I could hear Windsom saying in his annoyingly serious voice how we were the ‘lesser races.’

As much as it irked me, he wasn’t wrong. Even I could see the innate differences between him and me, and from what he let on, it didn’t seem like he was the strongest of asuras either.

“Well, I guess now you know who your mother is, at least.”

“Kyu?” ‘Mama? Aren’t we going to see Mama right now?’

“No, not that Mama. I mean, Tess isn’t your mother! Sheesh!” I exclaimed.

Sylvie only tilted her head as she looked at me in confusion before scampering around again, leaving me feeling disoriented.

As we made our way to the front gate, following alongside the outer walls of the kingdom, we passed the occasional carriages and wagons followed by people either guarding them, or transporting the goods inside.

The economy was rapidly changing since the union of the three kingdoms. Opening up borders so that merchants could travel and trade with each other had led to a lot of goods becoming available in all three kingdoms for the first time. Once we reached the entrance into Elenoir, there was a line of people—some riding horses or mana beasts, others in carriages—waiting to go inside.

Sylvie hopped on my head as I got to the end of the line beside a group of what looked like mercenaries, most likely trying to sell the raw material they had managed to obtain.

“Ey! Looky at the li’l brat! Why you so far from your mama, li’l boy? You lost?” hooted a rather tall man as he bent down to peer at me. He was thin, almost emaciated, and wearing leather armor too large for him.

“Roger, you’re going to make the boy cry with that ugly face of yours.” A girl who looked to be in her early twenties jumped off the end of the carriage where she was sitting and pulled Roger back.

“There’s nothin’ wrong with my face!” Roger lashed out at his female cohort. “Besides, this brat looks to be some sort of rich noble kid! I betcha if we bring him back to his parents, they’ll reward us big time!”

“You haven’t said anything.
