The Second Prince slammed the glass upon hearing that Lancelot had been killed and the one who killed him was Prince Alex. “Ba.ji.ngan you are Alex!” he said, did not expect Alex's strength to recover after almost dying during the night of the ambush.
“What will we do, Prince?” asked the black-robed old man sitting next to him. “What was the Emperor's response after the news circulated about Alex still alive?”
Alex let out a long sigh and replied, “The old man's thoughts are hard to guess. However, it seemed that he did not care about the news, instead he agreed I accelerated the process of political marriage with Helena in order for the Eternal Forest to ally with the Hazel Empire.”
The Second Prince felt that his father, who had always remained silent in the palace, had the ambition to unite the entire Grandland Continent, as the Emperor had also secretly sent messengers to the Dragon Kingdom. Although he did not know what the outcome of the meeting of the Two strongest entities in the Grandland Continent was, the ambition of the Emperor began to look—because the Emperor sent the First Prince to seize an Island belonging to the Demon Kingdom.
“Alex?” The Second Prince thought for a moment about what he would do to the parasite. “Let him alone for now, because I want to see the look of disappointment from him as I edit Helena.” The corner of his lips emitted a thin grin.
The old man next to the Second Prince chuckled. “Your Highness Prince is cruel once ha-ha-ha.”

At Sarah's Restaurant, Alex was wrapping the Meteor Sword in a cloth and stuffing several pieces of clothing into the Bag, including Sarah's clothes.
“Dad! When do we go?”
Sarah approached Alex with a Wood Sword hanging from her back and covered her face with a black cloth.
Alex held back his laughter and shook his head. “Why are you dressed as an Assassin? You should be wearing nice clothes,”.
“But... we will go save Mother,” Sarah said as she mounted her horses and drew her Wooden Sword. “Dad... What Magic Elements will I use to defeat the Elf Swordsman?” the question was curious, whether to keep using the Lightning Element as well as usual.
Alex pinched Sarah's cheek and said, “We're not heading straight for the Eternal Forest. First we'll pick up Dad's ride to the Monster Forest in the Hazel Empire.”
In the documents provided by Bryan, his Pegasus is hiding there. On that gripping night, Pegasus was still in the Eternal Forest with Helena. However, Helena asked him to leave because the Great Elder was about to tame the Pegasus to serve as a mount belonging to the Eternal Forest Kingdom.
“Awlocks?” Sarah was confused, because they never had any arrears all this time.
“Already... quickly change your clothes first,” said Alex did not explain about Pegasus or the Winged Horse Monster to Sarah.
Alex and Sarah leave Peace City by hiring the Eagle Monster for a shorter trip.
The powerful entities residing in the City of Peace noticed Alex's departure. They then guessed, the Grandland Continent might be as chaotic as it was hundreds of years ago.
It took him half a day to reach where Alex was heading, because the Monster Forest was located in the middle of the Hazel Empire.
The Eagle Monster landed on the outskirts of the Monster Forest. The owner was astonished Alex who did not emit the Swordsman Aura instead visited the lair of the Monsters, let alone he only relied on his daughter who was a level 4 Swordsman only.
“What sir sure get off here? Why don't you hire a Hunter if you need Monster meat?” asked the Eagle Monster Owner curious about Alex's destination to this Monster Forest.
Alex paid his fare and just smiled, then he whistled.
The Monster Forest rumbled, thousands of bird-type monsters instantly flew over and a moment later, a White Horse with golden horns on its forehead as well as White-winged ones appeared in the sky.
“Pegasus?”
“Level 10!”
His Eagle Monster became agitated and flapped its wings to immediately flee in fear of the aura emitted by Pegasus.
“Bye sir!” The owner of the Eagle Monster immediately ran away, afraid that his Monster was killed by Pegasus.
Sarah's eyes twinkled at Pegasus who was approaching towards them. He turned his head towards Alex, “What Pegasus is Dad's ride?”
Alex nodded his head and smiled broadly. “How? Do you like it?”
Sarah nodded her head and looked back at Pegasus with sparkling eyes.
Tears flowed profusely from the corner of Pegasus' eyes as it landed in front of Alex. It seems he missed his master a lot or thought Alex had been killed four years ago.
“Don't be sad, I came to pick you up!” Alex stroked Pegasus' happy-looking head and his tail instantly swayed.
“I also want to stroke Pegasus face!” sarah jumped up and down and stroked Pegasus' face.
Pegasus turned to Sarah and lowered his head until Sarah could stroke her face. He was instantly tame on the half-Elf girl, as it could feel Alex and Helena's bloodline from her.
“Alright, our time is very limited. Please take us to the outskirts of Hazel City, Pegasus!” alex exclaims as he lifts Sarah to Pegasus' back.
After Pegasus flew away from the Monster Forest, the Hunters hiding not far from there immediately breathed a sigh of relief. They had not expected, it turned out that a level 10 Monster already had a master.
They had long heard rumors of a Pegasus hiding in the Monster Forest. However, no one had ever found him until he finally appeared after his master had picked him up here.
“The rider was so lucky, did anyone recognize him?” one of the hunters asked.
“Entahlah, but it used to be only Prince Alex Acherron who had the Pegasus mount. Could that Pegasus rider be Him?”
...***...
The Pegasus flew so high that the humans walking on the ground were unaware that there was a Pegasus flying above them.
By nightfall, Pegasus landed on the outskirts of Ella City, the Imperial Capital of Hazel.
“Hide on the nearest mountain!” alex exclaimed at Pegasus who seemed reluctant to part with him. “For now, our existence should not be known by others. However, after we pick up Helena, then you will stay with us,”.
Pegasus nodded his head in approval of Alex's orders. He then flew into the sky.
“See you later, Pegasus.. later we fly together again!” Sarah screamed with a big smile and she was also reluctant to part with Pegasus who she had considered her friend.
Alex changed his clothes to the Temple of Light pilgrim clothes, wearing a white robe and white hooded with a conical shape.
Alex purposely wears the pilgrim's clothes, as he suspects the Power of the God Hercules is hidden in the Temple of Light— considering the God Hercules is a God worshipped by Humans.
