Chapter 756 Quarrel
'You bastard! So you're here all this time, huh?!' Zeth raged, continuously firing blasts at the pegasus while somehow managing to communicate with it telepathically.
'Hey! Calm down!' the mythical creature responded, dodging the blasts with graceful aerial maneuvers.
Unfortunately for the creature, Zeth was relentless in her pursuit, unleashing a relentless barrage of blue-flaming projectiles one after another.
Despite being slowly left behind, Shye could somehow hear Zeth's words, and he was confused.
Based on his familiar's words, it seemed she knew the pegasus and was speaking to it with a hint of anger.
This only heightened his anxiety.
If Zeth and the pegasus had an unresolved blood feud from the past, he needed to reach the scene of the battle as quickly as possible.
Shye felt it was a waste to summon his [Fallen's Wings] just to catch up.
However, he had no choice.
He couldn't let Zeth face a mythical creature alone, especially after somewhat neglecting her growth over the past few months.
The next moment, a pair of black, translucent mana wings appeared on his back, increasing his movement speed significantly.
With each mighty flap, he slowly closed the distance.
Only, he hadn't anticipated the next words the duchess would telepathically convey to the pegasus.
"Calm down?! How can I calm down after seeing your hateful face?!" Zeth roared, utterly surprising Shye, who had never heard her lose control of her emotions since their master-familiar bond was established.
"I've spent over a century and a half searching for you in Gomparo, only to find out you've been here all along?! What happened to our vows? Just because I turned into a notorious rogue in our world, you chose to abandon me?! You... you traitorous fiend! You deserve to die! Only your death will soothe my rage!"
Shye couldn't help but swallow after hearing her words.
"V-Vows? What vows?! Are they actually..."
Shye's suspicions were quickly confirmed when he finally reached them.
He saw the pegasus with a panicked expression, not even daring to retaliate against Zeth's attacks.
Yes...
The scene looked unmistakably like a lovers' quarrel.
It couldn't believe that his beloved partner would be directing one of her strongest abilities at him.
Shye, of course, was just as horrified.
This was not what he meant!
'Z-ZETH! NO! I MEANT, COULD YOU AT LEAST TALK IT OUT WITH HIM?!'
At her master's words, the cold expression on the duchess' face faded, replaced by confusion.
'Hmm? But didn't you order me to wrap things up, master? Also, with all due respect, I don't want to talk to this bastard.'
The pegasus couldn't hear Zeth's thoughts unless she directly relayed them to him.
However, upon realizing that his beloved was communicating with the human, the white stallion seized the opportunity to fly over and land near Shye.
The Pegasus was, after all, extremely smart.
It understood that since Zeth was a familiar spirit, she could only leave Gomparo when summoned by a human and bound as their familiar.
This made it clear that Shye was the master of his beloved.
What safer place could there be than beside Zeth's master, especially since she would never harm him?
After all, if her master were to die, she would have no choice but to return to Gomparo.
'Dear! Please, give me a chance to explain!'
'Z-Zeth, please at least give it a chance to explain!'
Naturally, with both her master and the stallion she had once loved pleading with her, the duchess could only sigh, though her anger toward the pegasus remained intense.
Her burning rage was understandable, though, as it had been a little over a hundred and fifty years since they last met.
Her heart had long yearned for this moment.
Yet, when she was finally reunited with her beloved, anger overwhelmed her.
As the years passed, the belief that she had been abandoned gradually turned into her painful reality.
'Fine, then. Consider yourself lucky that my master is giving your traitorous self a chance to explain,' the duchess replied coldly. 'Now speak, and don't even think about lying. If it's you, I'll detect any falsehoods with ease.'
