Rio intrude the parade and start breaking into the file, seeing it, harless consider it as foolish thug and
order the guard to dispose him, but Rio made a shortwork of every single of Charles hand picked elite
guard and easily reach their carriage, grabbing and putting Celia on knife point while Charles got
trampled under his boots, Rio made some BS nonsense to Charles that he had a personal vendetta to
him and want to ruin his happy days while actually conversing with Celia with telepathy, asking her,
what she really really wish for.

In the end, Celia asked him to take her away with him, Rio told Charles he decides to take his bride to
humiliate him and his entire family that running the entire wedding alone, and easily escape from the
solder enclosement, reaching the back alley, Rio pass Celia to Aishia and ask her to bring celia outside
the city while Rio will create a diversion.

Taking advantage of Bertrandnt back alley he grow up in, Rio easily led the pursuers on a wild goose
chase, until he face the sword king Alfred Emal that supported with a lightning arrow sniping from the
hero, Shigekura Rui, though the soldier moral rose when they arrive, Rio quickly doused them down
again by fighting evenly, even pressuring Alfred, forcing him to use big attack, and use the explosion as
smokescreen to escape.

Rio return to the worried Celia like he just come back from a stroll, pick her up in princess carry once
more, a fly outside the kingdom.

After crashing Celia wedding and run away with her, Rio start living together with Celia (and Aisia) in the
outskirt of Amande, and with it, he erode Celia common sense more and more with every little secret
thing he has from spirit magic, spatial storage, and portable home, Rio also tell Celia about Miharu
group, and his past life and Celia simply more concerned with the fact that Rio actually older than her,
Rio close interaction with Aishia also really make Celia concerned, enough that she choose to sleep
together with Rio.

Rio also continue to search for information about the Heroes and Lucius, he infiltrate Rodania to see the
other Beltrum Hero but failed because he's not present in the city.

On other place, Liselotte that on the road home from attending Celia wedding in Bertrant are forced to
stop midway from a sudden appearance of draconic creature where she met Beltrum resistance force
that also taking shelter from the dragon, despite Liselotte reluctance, Hiroaki manage to force his whim
to "escort" her back because he "as a hero" cant let a pretty girl on a dangerous road alone.

Unknown to them, Reiss are watching them from far high in the sky with his hideous plan in line...

The group travel in a convoy, the first carriage with Liselotte, Flora, Roana and Hiroaki, guarded by
Liselotte chamberlain while duke huguenot follow them behind with another carriage escorted by
Beltram knight.

Hiroaki spent the travel with his usual bragging story with Roana keep fueling his ego by keep praising
him, while Liselotte spent it trying to befriend Flora more though Hiroaki keep ruining their conversation
by butting in time and time again making sure he stay as the main topic of the conversation, ticking
Liselotte off a bit.

Aria are the first the notice something off and alert the convoy, Monster then right away attack them
from the surrounding, suddenly in battle, hiroaki soon become nervous, he star blabbering and
complaining, asking someone to take responsibilities and all other complaint making the situation even
more difficult.

Aria manage to take the front side by herself and clean them up while Beltam knight casualty keep
appearing in the back from being unable to handle the monster, Aria move back to clean up the back
side too, seeing her stronger than he expected, Reiss summoned several Minotaurs and revenant that
turn the situation back, to make thing even worse, Hiroaki cant stand staying in the carriage and blast
outside looking for safe place, making everything even more dangerous until one minotaurs managed to
break into the center of the formation aiming for Liselotte.

The big battle didn't escape some group that passing by in the sky, Celia notice her friend Aria fighting,
that make Rio guess her master Liselotte are the one getting attacked and pretty surprised seeing
Minotaurs appearing while Aishia notice bad presence from the forest but choose to let it slide because
its disappearing.

Down in forest, Reiss are pretty scared having cold sweat thinking whether he got noticed by a high
spirit that suddenly appear nearby or not, he choose to lay low and watch how things end and the
mysterious Spirit warrior that wreck Charles wedding.

Rio jump in and safe Liselotte in the nick of time, and start pressuring the minotaur back, killing them
one by one, showing a battle like those in legend completely overpowering the minotaurs and revenant
before finishing them all off in one big magic attack with his sword.

when the area get clear, Liselotte approach Rio and introduced herself, Rio also introduced himself as
Haruto, while Flora keep watching Rio face.
