Return To The Corrupt Kingdom

It was a warmer day, Daedalus was taking his time to reach the corrupt kingdom once more. As he had lost his arm Daedalus decided it would be best to return quickly before resuming his journey. Unfortunately he had been trapped until the next spring.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

After his insanely fast flight home as a dragon Daedalus realised that he would likely get told off heavily for not taking potions or materials for potions in the first place. And he was right, the moment he landed Andromeda started screaming at him for having lost an arm. While this happened Icarus snuck out of his sheath, and just as Andromeda asked how it happened Icarus said "He cut it off himself."

At that very moment Daedalus felt death staring at him, so quickly Daedalus explained the exact details of what had happened. Luckily or not she calmed down and was no longer angry, however she then started crying, worrying Daedalus. And so for the rest of the year Daedalus was stuck at the palace as no matter how many times he tried to continue his journey Andromeda would find and guilt trip him.

Around a month before he continued his journey Daedalus was surprised to hear that the women he had saved previously had arrived. So Daedalus went and greeted them while offering them accommodations near one of the better guild halls. As Andromeda had already been warned in advance that they would arrive Daedalus felt as though he had avoided death.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now Daedalus was sitting in one of the official Grand Amatas Empire royal carriages slowly making his way towards the corrupt kingdom. He was doing all of this under the guise of a Grand Amatas Empire royal envoy, he was doing this so as to not alert the corrupt nobles too badly. He had also sent a few scouts forward to make sure that any of the nobles that did try to run wouldn't make it far.

With nothing much to do until he reached the kingdom Daedalus just relaxed and cultivated. While considering ways to improve his sword skills and other martial arts.

A few weeks later Daedalus arrived at the gates to the kingdom and was stopped by the gate guards. This annoyed Daedalus greatly as he was here officially compared to his previous adventuring status when he last came. Before long Daedalus could hear his driver and guards speaking angrily with the gate guards.

As he listened Daedalus came to find out that this kingdom simply disregarded the Grand Amatas Empire, much to his dismay. Stepping out of the carriage, everyone turned to look at him as no-one had left it yet. The gate guard who had been arguing with his driver turned to Daedalus as he was clearly more important and said "We don't care who you are or where your from, you will wait in the line. You will however need to pay four times the price now do to this incident."

This angered Daedalus greatly and he said "It won't be necessary anymore."
