At this moment, Ryu woke up from his sleep, when he looked sideways he did not see melissa.
"Surprisingly, he usually still snores when I wake up". Said Ryu scratching his Head.
Then Ryu cleaned his body and after that he walked out of the mansion, When he looked towards the courtyard he was very surprised when he saw melissa.
" What are you doing?". Ryu said walking towards melissa.
"Of course get ready to save your sister". Melissa said with courage.
Melissa was currently wearing armor with a sword beside her waist like a knight.
" Haha...You don't have to wear that, let go". Said Ryu patting his eel.
" Is this weird? ". Melissa asked with her innocent face.
" Of course it's very strange". Reply Ryu.
"Hehehe". melissa laughs.
Then he took off the armor, and put on the clothes he used to wear.
" This is what it should be like ". Ryu said seeing Melissa wearing ordinary clothes.
" Papa, let's hurry up and save brother". Melissa said impatiently.
"Do you not want to have breakfast first". Ryu.
" No, I want to save you first". Melissa said pulling Ryu's hand.
"Alright, alright". Reply Ryu, then he called out with.
" What is it, sir?". Blacky asked respectfully.
"Take me and Melissa to the Imperial capital". Ryu said, then he carried Melissa and carried her up the blacky head.
" Okay sir". Blacky said then he flapped his wings and flew towards the capital.

Imperial Palace.
On a throne Ethan sat authoritatively and his eyes looked resolute, the door of the room opened and a soldier came in.
The soldier knelt down only then he spoke, "The noble report of the black dragon is flying towards the capital". Said the soldier.
" It's not that it's common, it must be the young lady who was about to eat here". Ethan said as he placed his cheek on the pedestal of his hand.
"But your honor, this time young lady did not come alone she came with master Ryu". Said the soldier.
Hearing the word 'master ryu' Ethan quickly stood up from his throne and flew towards the entrance gate of the capital leaving the soldier alone in the room.
The soldier who saw Ethan's behavior scratched his head, and he also went to the entrance of the capital.

By this time Ryu had reached in front of the capital city gate and was also blacky shrinking his body as big as an adult horse.
While walking towards the gate, Ryu sees Ethan standing there.
"Is now an emperor a gatekeeper". Ryu said in a mocking tone.
" Of course not, I came here because I wanted to welcome you.
"No need, besides you're an emperor you better take care of your duties". Said Ryu who continued to walk non-stop.
Ethan who saw it felt like there was an invisible arrow piercing his heart.
'Ughh, even though I came here to greet him'. Ethan's inner self, he then returns to the palace.
Ryu who was currently riding on a blacky look around the streets of the capital city that was very crowded.
"Melissa where did you see your sister? ". Ask Ryu.
" melissa saw him yesterday in front of that restaurant". Chloe pointed to a rather large restaurant.
"Alright, then we'll wait in the shop in front of the restaurant, who knows he'll come back". Said Ryu who was walking towards the tavern in front of the restaurant.
The citizens were not surprised at all by the presence of blacky, because almost every day they saw blacky walking on the streets of the capital with a beautiful little girl on top of him.
After waiting for a few hours, there was still no sign of the presence of sister melissa.
"Is this really his place?". Said Ryu hesitatingly.
" Does papa doubt melissa?, Humph". Melissa said as she puffed her cheeks.
"No, no, how could you doubt the words of this beautiful princess". Ryu said with sweet words.
As Melissa was about to reply to Ryu, a noblewoman came with an elven slave chained around her neck.
Melissa who saw that immediately shook Ryu's hand.
"Papa.. papa, that's my brother". Melissa said as she pointed towards the elf slave.
Ryu turned his head towards the direction that Melissa had pointed at, and he saw the little elf race girl who had the same hair as her and had ocean blue eyes.
the elf girl had many wounds all over her body and she looked extremely thin in a tattered camping outfit.
"Papa let's just congratulations, brother". Said Melissa while pulling Ryu's hand.
" Sister...sister". Shouted Melissa.
The elf girl turned her head towards Melissa, at first she did not recognize Melissa because the current look of Melissa looked very pretty with the clothes she was acquainted with also looked beautiful, she said, after a while of seeing Melissa he finally recognized her.
'The girl..is she the girl?'. Said the elf girl, her eyes looking watery.
the woman who brought him here also turned her head and looked at Melissa, then she looked at the elf girl sharply.
"Do you recognize that girl? ". Said the woman with sharp eyes.
" No-no, I don't know her". said the elf girl hurriedly.
Melissa and Ryu arrived before the woman and the elf slave, Melissa quickly hugged the elf girl.
"Sister I finally found you". Melissa said while crying.
" Hey, stay away from my slave ". Said the woman and was about to encourage Melissa.
" It's far from my daughter's dirty hands". Said Ryu holding the woman's hand.
"you let go of my hand, do you know who I am? ". Said the woman with frightened looking eyes.
although he was not strong, at least he was at peak rank 5, yet he could not release his hands from the clutches of the young man who did not possess that energy.
" even if that stupid emperor came here I wouldn't be afraid". Said Ryu who strengthened his grip.
"le-let go if not... ". the woman has not finished speaking yet she feels tremendous pain.
" If not what? ". Ryu said and pulled the woman's hand.
the elf girl who saw that quickly closed melissa's eyes, Ryu who saw that smiled.
'Looks like this girl is very good towards Melissa'. Inner Ryu.
" Aaaarghhhhh". shouted the girl, and the citizens who saw it immediately swarmed.
The citizens who know who Ryu does not dare to speak, while the citizens who do not know talk about the fate of Ryu.
"Once the young man was gone, he severed the hand of the concubine of the head of the Claire family". Said one of the residents.
" yes, the young man will definitely be killed and tortured by the head of the Claire family.
Right at this moment, Zack, Luna, Evan, Melissa and there was a man who looked the same age as Zack were walking towards the crowd.
At first, Zack and his wife and son wanted to take Chloe away and while on the road they met Glane Claire, who was a girl, claire's family head overhears Zack saying she wants to take her daughter Glane away and wants to drop off Chloe.
But as they walked towards the entrance gate, they saw the citizens crowding and decided to look first.
when they got there they split the crowd, Glane was shocked to see the hand of her concubine being pulled out by a young man
"Hey, what are you doing?". Glane said, he only saw the young man from behind him, and when the young man turned around Glane was very surprised when he saw the young man's face.
" Graceful thank God you're here, this young hick dared to take my hand". Said the woman who saw Glane's arrival and she immediately ran towards Glane.
But Glane just stood petrified and then he regained his senses and immediately slapped the woman.
"Sa-honey what are you doing?". said the woman who did not believe that Glane slapped her.
" Are you who you offended?". Shouted Glane furiously, he thought if his wife offended the young man in front of him.
"Who is he? ". Say the woman with fear.
" He is Lord Ryu, the one who broke the hand of the demon emperor, the one who made all the emperors kneel and you dare you offend him". Glane said furiously
Then Glane walked towards Ryu and quickly he knelt down apologizing.
"I'm sorry my stupid concubine is this sir". Glane said with great respect.
" No need, he dared to enslave my sister, hence the punishment for her was death ". Ryu said then he flicked his finger.
The woman instantly turned into a blood mist, everyone who saw it felt goosebumps.
Glane he was not angry about it, after all if he offended the young man before him, maybe his family would be exterminated.
" Guru, what are you doing here". Chloe said as she walked towards Ryu, followed by Zack and his wife and Evan.
"Nothing, just fulfilling my daughter's request". Ryu said, then he walked towards the elf girl and smashed her chain.
The elf girl was very surprised when she saw Ryu's strength, and she immediately thanked him.
" Thank you sir". Said the elf girl.
"It doesn't matter if any of this is my daughter's request". Ryu.
Hearing that, Melissa just smiled sweetly.
" Hehehe, her brother is my father now". Melissa said as she held the girl's hand, then she looked at Ryu with a hearty look.
Ryu who saw that felt an uneasy feeling, In a hurry he said.
"Let's go home and take care of your brother's wounds". Ryu said and called out to blacky.
After boarding the blacky along with Melissa and the elf girl he turned towards Chloe.
" I'm not taking you away". Said Ryu who then left and quickly disappeared from everyone's sight.
Chloe who heard that just nodded her head and they continued their goal.
and the crowd dispersed and carried out the activity as usual.
