( Yuto Pov )

* A few days later *

* Thud! ×3* Bam! *

" We need to get the fuck out of here!" Jason yelled as he started running off packing his things.

The Argonauts woke up and looked at him and each other with confusion.

Me and Atalanta looked at each other before looking at the others.

It was then I noticed Medea.

I saw a pink ring around her pupils.

' Aphrodite.' I thought as I frowned and turned to Jason.

" Jason, what did you do?"

But I received no answer as Jason had already left the room, followed by Medea.

The Argonauts followed after him.

" Something wrong?" Atalanta asked.

" No, come on, let's get out of here." I said.

Atalanta nodded.

we followed after the others.

Once we reached the outside, it was midnight with the moon shining with a clear sky.

" Huff Huff!" Jason was breathing heavily as we ran towards the ship.

" Why is the princess with us!?" Atalanta asked.

" Huff! Huff!" Jason was falling behind as I picked him up and threw him towards Hercules.

" Carry him, Hercules." I spoke.

Hercules nodded as he carried Jason over his shoulder.

" So why are we kidnapping a princess? Did you get the golden fleece?" I spoke, and Jason responded by taking out a golden fleece from his robe.

We both nodded as he pocketed the golden fleece.

" And the princess!?" I shouted as I dodged an arrow from behind.

Jason replied with a shrug.

" Sister!!" The prince followed us with his horse.

Medea stretched her hands towards her brother, and I felt the mana condense around her hand.

It was then that I remembered the innocent girl I met the first time. Her innocent smile reminded me this wasn't the real her.

I immediately grabbed her arm and used my mana to cancel out her attack.

But it was too late as her brothers and the soldiers that followed after him were pushed back and were injured.

Medeas eyes widen when she realizes what she has done.

Before she could react, I pressed her pressure point in her neck, knocking her out.

" Here, carry her." I threw Medea towards Atalanta.

Atalanta caught Medea.

" Why am I carrying her!?"

" Because I said so." I spoke before following the rest onto the ship.

" Wha!??" She exclaimed.

Atalanta made a face before ignoring me.

A few minutes later, we boarded the ship.

" Pelues! Open the mast." I ordered, and zpulues nodded as he ran up the stairs.

As we floated from the docks, we saw King Aeetes chasing us.

Just as Atalanta aimed her arrow, the skies vibrated from a roar.

* Rooooaaaarrr!!!*

" It's a dragon." I calmly spoke as I pushed Atalantas bow towards the dragon.

" Hit its belly." I pointed at the dragon.

Atalanta nodded as I felt the mana and divinty surround the bow as she pulled the string.

* Thunk! * Swoosh! *

As the arrow gleamed through the night sky, it struck the young dragon.

* Raaahhhhh!!*

The dragon screamed as it slowly fell.

The king and his soldiers stopped as the Kimg held his son.

Although the prince suffered from injuries, I could tell he might be able to live once treated quickly.

I looked at Jason, who was catching his breath.

" What happened?" I walked towards Jason.

" I...I..I..I." Jason stuttered.

" Sigh, forget it." Speaking to him would prove useless as I headed inside the cabin.

I approached the door where Atalanta put Medea in.

Entering inside, I saw Medea still passed out on the bed.

I sat next to her bed as I grabbed out a mile from the inventory.

[ Amulet of Divine Will ] [ Legendary ]

( Description - Creates a mind shield against divine powers. Can only be powered with hope.)

' Hope. How can she power it up with him when she's been charmed with love.' I thought as I put the amulet back into the inventory.

' I should have given it to her before all of this.'

'Sigh, I don't have time to beat myself over this, I'll save you from this curse, Medea. I promise.' I thought to myself as I stood up and went back outside.

'It isn't the right time to give it to her.'

As I walked out of the room, I heard the Argonauts arguing.

" Like I said, Jason, we can't keep her. She is a witch! It is only a matter of time before she turns on us like her brother!!" Phineus argued.

"We are not going to abandon her." Everyone turned their attention towards me.

"She helped us get the golden fleece and had betrayed her home. She will be alone with nothing after she has helped us. It would be too cruel to do that." I spoke.

" But Yuto, my Vision -" Phineus was about to speak, but I interrupted him.

" She will be staying on this ship. Understood." I looked at everyone as no one voiced their thoughts after hearing me speak.

I looked towards Atalanta.

" Atalanta, I watch over her." She nodded as she went into Medeas room.

" Now we sail back home and give Jason his throne. After that, we get our rewards and go on our own journeys." I said as I walked past them.

* Years later. *

" Medea." I spoke her name as I calmly approached her.

Medea stood on the port watching the sea.

" Are you going to leave a well?" She asked but didn't move her gaze from the sea.

" I'm going to follow Atalanta. I made a promise." I looked at the wilted flowers in her hand.

" Sniff, it's that foot race marriage, isn't it?" Medea sniffles.

" I need to save her." I responded.

" Sniff."

We both watched the waves.

" It wasn't your fault." I spoke.

" Sniff. How could be manipulated so easily?"

" How could I do something so Vile! How!?" Medea cried.

" It is painful to love, but it is also worse to hate. Medea, you have a whole adventure ahead of you."

" How?" She cried as I saw her tearful face.

" Big sis Atalanta left! Jason's getting married, I'm a witch -"

" You are free." I calmly looked into her eyes as I grabbed her shoulders.

Medea froze.

" You are free now. Medea, all of our adventure together meant something to us. To me, I'm glad I could help you find yourself. But now the choice is yours to make, to go on the path of hatred or the path of freedom." I spoke as I stood up.

" Perhaps in the future I'd we meet once again. I hope you tell me about your travels this time." I smiled as Medea wiped her tears and smiled as well.

" Of course." She smiled brightly.

'Ahh, there's the innocent Medea I first met.' I thought to myself.

" Here. I hope this helps you in your journey." I handed Medea the amulet as I started walking away.

" Thank you." Medea whispered.

I walked away.

A few days later, I heard the kingdom of Corinth was burned to the ground.

' Sigh, so she chose that path, huh?' I thought to myself.
