Reborn: I'm A Dragon Girl With An OP System-Chapter 323: Strange Energy 1

"So you snuck aboard?" I asked, feeling amazed by Grace's ability to just pop up out of nowhere. Now that I think about it, I did not see her when I set off.

"Master, the word snuck on is a bit demeaning. I walked right on without issue. I even sat near the rear of the airship out of sight while it took off and waited for this moment to appear." Grace proudly replied.

At this, I couldn't help but laugh out loud. "So, in other words, you snuck on." I shook my head and slouched down in my chair. "Not that it matters what is done is done. Did you at least tell someone else, or should I notify the house?"

"I left a note for Annie stating that I would be away for some time in order to serve Master properly," Grace answered with a firm nod.

Thurul was at the side, chuckling while I held my head. "Now that you are here, take one of the rooms. We are in for a long trip, after all."

"Then I will go about my daily routine and make sure the ship is kept clean. Master, you still have classes later, so, please make sure you do not miss them." Grace gave a bow before turning around and going about her tasks. She was strange. A noble lady turned servant. All because of a blood seal contract that put her in this role. I still feel bad and want to fix this issue, but sadly there is no way. Not unless I rewind her entire life back to before then, but she refused no matter what I said.

"Lass, the next few years will be long. I say we stop off in a few places along the way." Thurul took out a map and laid it on the table in front of us, then began pointing at a few places. "Here and here."

"This is?" I looked at the spots he was pointing at, and they were not major cities or anything but places far from any known town or city.

"They are sights of interest because they are known to have strange energy fluctuations. The dwarven kingdom has wanted to investigate this strange energy source for a while but they can't due to it being on other people's lands. And for some reason, the kingdoms involved will not allow it either. So I am suggesting that we take a peek ourselves. It may be related to the energy you talked about with those weapons." Thurul explained.

"I see… Then let's change course slightly and head to the first spot. It will make our trip about a half year longer but it will be worth it if we gain something from visiting these areas." I would not pass this chance up. If the areas in question actually had something to do with the strange energy, then it would be well worth the extra time it took to reach these places.

Two years later….

"Lass, we are almost there." A voice came over the com as I slowly rose from my slumber. It's been two years since I set off. Adel and Sophie have talked to me every night for hours on end until we all fell asleep.

Diablo and Iena have also been doing well together. Although Diablo said he would not have a child with Iena since he was married to me and that only I was allowed to bear his children if I so choose, but as I had asked, he had been treating Iena very well as a lover since then, which was good.

Iena talked nonstop about how happy she was and told me she did not forget her duty to me either. She said she was still saving herself for me when the time came, which made me blush. In other words, the two have never gone past kissing, from what I understand.

To be honest during this time I have to say that all four of the people in my relationship I guess you can call it, were still always thinking about me. I gave them permission to nurture their own feelings toward each other, but they still think of me before themselves. But I guess since they all seem to be happy, that is good. I do make a trip back to see them once a month, which turns into a huge fuss since it is only one day. On that day, the airship is docked someplace out of the way in order to not lose the teleport point.

But besides me trying to stay in contact with everyone, it has really been a long journey so far, and the first stop on our list before the dwarven kingdom was a place inside a kingdom called Golentod. It was a very small secluded kingdom within a mountain range between two other kingdoms. The Kingdom of Tross and the Kingdom of Yorn. All three are human kingdoms, and all three allow enslavement of demi humans so people like Thurul and me are number one to be attacked and enslaved.

"You ready, Lass?" Thurul asked. He was now in full metal armor with a huge hammer on his back. This was Thurul's battle gear.

"Yeah, let's head down. Grace, the ship is covered in a multi elemental barrier. If you get attacked, take the ship and leave. Contact me when you are safe, and Thurul and I will catch up. If they are able to land on the ship, escape through one of the many escape teleports, I set up after activating the core orb I gave you to cause the ship to self destruct. You will only have five seconds, so make sure you activate it only after you are about to teleport away." I had taken everything into account. Because of the area we were in, I did not wish to allow Grace, who was a support type mage, to get captured. While she was stronger than average, I still worried. So I was leaving her on the ship with many ways of escape.
