The Red King nodded when he heard Gravis' answer. "This time, I won't carry you since some other beasts might think I'm your servant."

"I don't mind," Gravis answered.

"Also, it would be better for you not to transform into lightning. I want that to be a surprise for the Empress," the Red King advised.

Gravis rolled his eyes. "Fine. I don't see the point of that but take my acceptance as some sort of parting gift. After all, the last five years weren't as bad as I had initially believed."

The Red King groaned. "You really don't know how lucky you are. Do you honestly believe that a breeder of the Empress would be held in some confined room or something? You will just join her Empire with a distinguished status. This means you can do whatever you want."

When Gravis heard that, his brows furrowed. "That really is different than I had expected. Does it mean I can also leave if I want?"

The Red King nodded immediately, surprising Gravis. This was completely different from what he had expected. Gravis thought that he would be some kind of breeding slave. Yet, if he so chose, he could simply leave the Empire?

"Wait, you're serious?" he asked.

The Red King sighed. "Yes. That's why I said you don't know how good you'll have it. The only rules that bind you are the rules that every member of the Empire has to follow. No one will suppress you."

"So," Gravis said slowly. "I could also choose not to join the Empire if I wanted to?"

"Sure," the Red King answered directly and calmly. "I'll get my reward either way. However, I'm very convinced that you will stay."

The Red King motioned for Gravis to follow him after he said that. Then, he started flying towards the north. Gravis followed him and used his full speed without transforming into lightning. The Red King simply looked at how fast Gravis was flying and adapted his speed to Gravis'.
