Escape The Villain Route (Isekai Book 1)

Flight

My heart skipped a beat and my eyes widened. Right! My father! I did once ask him about it but never got to know about anything! So I guess he contacted Kaan.

I looked at Kaan in anticipation but the excitement was short-lived.

"Don't get your hope up," He didn't allow the fire of hope to kindle, "I couldn't find him..." Immediately all of me felt down.

I looked at the ground, "I see..." I don't know why I got so excited, this was the obvious result. I guess hope never really dies...

"I don't know for sure but there is a high chance he was killed in Maximillian for having an affair with the queen."

"There was no such rumor though..." I sighed, "I don't think anyone knew." After all, my mother did everything to hide it.

"But the fact is there right?" I felt a spike go through my heart, "Considering your father didn't know, it's best to assume the queen probably killed him and all the others who knew."

Hearing that only made it harder on the mind and heart but honestly it wasn't a shock. It was something I had thought of and it's most likely true.

"Yea... These kinds of things do happen..."

This was followed by a longer pause of silence between us. We quietly kept looking at the stars as the wind blew past us.

Oh well, at the very least, now I know I won't ever be seeing him again. I do wish I had got a chance to see him but it's alright. I have all the family I need right here with me.

I took a deep breath and exhaled my negative feelings out of my system.

Then Kaan spoke, "You still haven't learned how to fly," He looked at me and I turned to him in surprise, "Have you?" He looked at me with a smile as he waited for an answer.

"Well, no... I didn't really get a chance to..." With my pregnancy and then taking care of an infant, I didn't find any time to learn how to fly!

"Well then," He stepped away from me and presented his hand to me, "I guess it's time to keep my promise then."

His words made my heart jump in glee. I was immediately reminded of our time back in Maximilian and the promise he made when he flew me around in his arms.

"Ah-" A smile spread across my face as I took his hand, "Yea," I looked at him, "I guess it's time."

He smiled back at me and took out his wings, "Spread yours," He said as he jumped to stand on top of the railing while I spread out my wings with my hand still in his, "Now for you, it's got a lot to do with your mind too. The size of your wings will help you move around but your base comes from your telepathic powers. Do you understand?"

I nodded, "I did study the basics, I just never got to implement it."

He smirked and flapped his wings, "No better time than the present." He jumped in the air as he pulled me to the railing top, "Visualize it and focus the power in the form of energy all around your body, especially the feet."

He maintained himself in the air while I closed my eyes and focused.

I let my flight magic roam around my body, "Flap your wings," I heard Kaan and flapped my wings along with spreading my magic, "That's it, keep doing it."

I felt quite at ease doing it, probably because nowadays I have a lot of mana I can freely use.

All of the sudden, I felt Kaan let go out of hand and opened my eyes in shock.

He was right there, still in front of me but a smug expression was plastered on his face, "You're a natural." He grinned and I was confused for a moment but right the next I noticed I was floating above the railing.

"Hah!" I gasped, "Oh my!" I looked at him again, "I did it?"

"Well," He extended his hand towards me again, "You got the base," I placed my hand on his, "But since this is just the beginning, I'll guide you."

I nodded at him as he gently pulled me towards him and we both went further up.

He kept telling me what to do and kept his pace at the minimum so I wouldn't be burdened. The magic, the mana, the usage, all of it came to me slowly but naturally. I didn't have to force it and I flew around, I felt so much comfort surrounding me that I actually felt at peace.

We covered quite some distance and stopped in front of the clear view of the big wide full moon where we both stayed for a few minutes.

"Good job," Kaan complimented me as he placed his hand on my cheek.

"I have a good teacher." I replied and he snickered, then leaned in for a kiss that sent my heart a buzz. It was soft and gentle but it still made butterflies go crazy in my stomach.

I feel like slowly everything is falling into place
