49 The Sleeping Cat
Late in the night, the streets of the town were empty and desolated. No person could be seen on sight. Occasionally knights could be seen patrolling the streets.
In this situation, Phil and his friends could be seen walking through the streets while avoiding the patrolling knights.
Behind them, on the rooftops, a black cat could be seen. Of course, it is Sakura following the lads. She decided to help out the boys since she felt pity for Phil and also she didn't have anything to do right now.
When Phil reached the city wall the group of boys stopped. Sakura became curious about how the boys would go to the other side of the wall. Since the wall was pretty high.
*Whoosh!!!*
A green light glowed as the wind started to center around the boys.
'Is that magic?'
< Yes, master. >
The wind blew violently and lifted up the boys from the ground.
'Woah! Can I do that?'
< You would need very fine control over your mana to do that, master. >
Sakura frowned. 'Forget it, Flying is overrated anyway.' Sakura shook her head.
'Anyway...' Sakura looked at the giant wall in front of her. 'How am I supposed to go to the other side?'
She can turn into a bird and she has tried it and she can't fly that way sadly. Seems like flying as a bird takes some skills.
'Wait a moment. you can fly can't you?' Sakura asked as she remembered Astra could fly.
< Yes, master. I can. >
'Good, carry me.'
<... >

"You want me to take back my kingdom?" Aeolia was surprised by Jester's intention. He wants to help Aeolia take back her kingdom from the Kingsman kingdom.
"Why?" Aeolia looked at Jester with clear suspicion.
"I just felt really sad knowing how your kingdom fell. So, out of goodwill, I am willing to help you."
"I don't want your help." Aeolia flatly denied. Her logic was simple.
This guy kidnapped her = this guy is a villain.
She's been kidnapped = she's the heroine.
And heroines don't comply with villains.
Jester didn't flinch. "Don't be so hasty, mam. Just take your time." He said as he proceeded to take his leave.
Aeolia looked at the departing figure, "Hmph, my hero will definitely save me. Just you wait."

"Is this high enough, master," Astra asked.
'Yap, yap. just follow them while maintaining this height.' Sakura nudged as a cat in Astra's arms.
She was starting to like this form.
Astra followed her master's instructions and followed the boys through the dense forest. Maintaining a fair distance between them. The moon gave a faint light which is why Astra had to maintain a fair bit of distance. However, with the ability to sense others, she didn't have much problem.
After flying through the night sky for quite a while Astra finally stopped when the group of boys stopped not far from a camp in the wilderness. It looked a lot like a bandit camp.
" We are here, master. "
"ZZZ!"
" Master. " Astra called out to the sleeping Sakura kitty in her arms. It seems the cold wind of the night was too comfortable for Sakura. So, she fell asleep on the way.
"Hng..." Seems Sakura was deep asleep and didn't want to wake up.
Astra, seeing this decided to solve the job herself and let Sakura sleep for now.
"Good night, master."

In the darkness of the night, a few boys could be seen in the shade of the forest. The camp not far away was unaware of these boys loitering in the nearby forest.
"Boss, we're ready." The fat underling said and Phil gave a nod at him. Everything was set and ready to go into motion. Phil hadn't done anything like this before. Attacking a camp and killing people. Nonetheless, Phill had seen bloody conflict before and he wasn't going to be afraid of killing if necessary.
As a citizen of this world, he wasn't a foreigner to killing and fighting in general.
"Okay, everyone get to your positions. go to action if I give the signal." Phil instructed his lackeys as they followed his orders and spread out.
"Wait, for me Aeolia. I will save you." Phil muttered determined.

"Zzz!"
"Please sleep well, master. I will take care of this situation."
Astra observed the field below. Where Phill and his friends were attacking.
The boys were impressed with their work. They took down guards one by one with pure stealth and precision.
Especially, the boy named Phill. He was particularly good with wind magic as well as sniping.
Even Astra was somewhat impressed with this boy's skill.
However, she didn't feel particularly interested in this boy.
Yes, this boy may be very talented. Growing up in a remote town while still getting this good with magic.
But this boy will one day end up old and die.
Only her master and she will remain. For eternity...
