Seeing how much I cared about her, Ariel was no longer angry about why I wasn't accompanying her. She just nodded firmly and softly said, "Okay."
The other attendants were very confused seeing us communicating with gestures.
Then I visited the Water God Style Dojo. I saw Isolte and Master Leda Lia and vaguely mentioned that I might be going out soon. Master Leda Lia did not say anything.
She left the space for me and Isolte. Seeing no one around, I gave Isolte a big bear hug. She resisted a little at first, but after a while, she quietly nestled in my arms.
"This time when I go out, I won't be in much danger, and the time won't be very long. When the time is right, I will come find you. Don't wait for me in Ars. Stay with Master Leda Lia and improve your swordsmanship even faster. Don't worry, even if you are at the ends of the earth, I will find you."
"Hmph, always running off to flirt with women. I should be the one saying that. If you don't come find me, when I advance to Water Emperor, I will find you no matter where you are hiding. At that time, hmph hmph, don't ask me to let you off."
"Okay, okay, okay. Then give me a kiss now, or I won't be able to kiss you for this period of time."
"No, mmm— — — — — — — — —. Where are your hands? Someone might pass by here. Don't touch me inappropriately. Ah, no. Mmm— — — — — — (panting speech) Go to that room over there. No one is in that room."
After a session of hand and tongue massage, I left the Water God Style Dojo and returned to the Prodia Family villa, preparing the necessary luggage. Then I told the maid I was going to sleep and rest.
Once the room was quiet, I took the luggage I had prepared, opened the window, and flew toward the safe house where Eris was.
After changing into night clothes with Eris, we headed together to the prison in Ars where important criminals were held.
The prison was underground and very heavily guarded. Shaoroth should be held in the innermost layer of the prison.
However, no prison, no matter how difficult, could hold us. I directly used Earth Magic to dig a hole downward in the bushes not far from the prison. After digging down about ten meters, I dug toward the prison. When I reached a position with bricks, I dug down further until the bricks in front of me were no longer visible. Then I kept digging inward. After finding a corner, this should be the deepest cell.
I made a small hole in the bricks and looked inside.
I found an elderly man with relatively neat hair and wearing normal noble attire. It was Shaoroth.
I pulverized the bricks near the wall, creating a hole. Eris immediately squeezed through, and I followed closely behind.
"Grandfather, I'm so glad to see you are fine. Eris and Daolin have come to rescue you."
Shaoroth became extremely excited upon seeing Eris and pulled her into his arms.
"Eris, my precious granddaughter. I wasn't mistaken, it really is my precious granddaughter. It's wonderful to see you before the end of my life. This old man truly has no regrets in death."
Eris, held by Shaoroth, found it a bit hard to breathe.
"Grandfather, don't say such foolish things. Aren't we here to save you? You won't die. Our whole family needs to be completely together again.
We need to rebuild Roa's home. We can still be together in the future, okay?"
Shaoroth loosened his grip on Eris slightly and looked at her with a solemn expression.
"Eris, my precious granddaughter, although your grandfather may not see your fifteenth birthday, I believe you have grown up.
Someone must step up to quell the public's anger regarding this disaster. My death is inevitable. I am already over seventy years old."
