The griffins landed in the forest outside Luminara City.
Obtaining these griffins from Emperor Feit hadn't been difficult. After all, Kenji had mentioned earlier that they were only borrowing them. Having just formed an alliance, Emperor Feit readily provided a team of griffins as mounts, thoughtfully arranging griffin riders to help control them.
"We're not far from Luminara. Let's dismount here," Pluvia said as she jumped off the griffin. The Royal Guards following her also dismounted.
This time, they weren't wearing the light clothing they'd purchased in the Vishi Empire. Instead, they were all properly armored and armed.
From here to the imperial palace in Luminara City was less than twenty miles, but those twenty miles could be fraught with danger. Therefore, Commander Sonya had also donned her armor and stayed close to Pluvia.
"Your Majesty, please be careful. I'll return soon," Kenji said from atop his griffin.
Pluvia looked at him.
