Having successfully accomplished his arduous task, Sato now stood as the esteemed Duke of Nervek, ready to embark on the next phase of his journey.

His mind lingered on the distant path, where his ultimate destination awaited—the presence of Fiona beckoning him forward. However, before he could proceed, an important meeting with Jira to sign the pivotal treaty lay ahead.

Positioned before Sato, Vlad and Divanchi stood, their countenances filled with a mixture of admiration and pride for the young man who had come so far. Sato\'s unwavering determination had earned him their respect.

Vlad, his voice tinged with a touch of paternal pride, remarked, "It seems like only yesterday you arrived, and yet here you are, ready to depart. Undoubtedly, the people of Nervek will sorely miss you."

Sato, his gaze shifting briefly to Erza, who stood nearby, exuded a sense of quiet confidence. "I appreciate your kind words, Vlad," he replied, his voice steady and resolute. "However, I have no doubt that Erza will capably care for the people in my absence. She possesses the strength and compassion necessary to lead them faithfully".

A hearty laugh escaped Vlad\'s lips, filled with genuine amusement. "Indeed, she will," he conceded, a note of pride evident in his tone. "After all, she is my daughter, and her unwavering dedication to the people of Nervek is unmatched".

With a gentle smile adorning his lips, Sato acknowledged Vlad\'s words of farewell. "I appreciate your understanding, Vlad," He replied graciously, his voice laced with a sense of determination. "I\'ll be back after a few months, or even sooner if circumstances allow… I should leave now".

As Sato prepared to step into the awaiting carriage, a sudden cry pierced through the air, capturing everyone\'s attention. "Wait!" Erza\'s urgent voice rang out, carrying a hint of desperation. In a swift motion, she sprinted toward Sato, her eyes filled with an undeniable longing.

Sato turned to face her, curiosity etching its way across his features. Before he could utter a single word, Erza closed the distance between them, her lips meeting his in a passionate embrace.

Time seemed to stand still as their connection deepened, her fingers instinctively finding purchase on his collar, anchoring them together in that fleeting moment.

The world around them blurred into insignificance as their hearts beat in synchrony. In that tender exchange, emotions unspoken found voice, a fusion of longing, hope, and the unyielding bond that had formed between them. It was a kiss that spoke of unexplored possibilities and the promise of a shared future.

As they finally broke apart, the air crackled with a newfound tension, their gazes locked in a mix of surprise and understanding. Erza\'s cheeks flushed with a delicate shade of pink, her eyes shimmering with a mix of vulnerability and determination.

Erza\'s voice trembled slightly as she broke the silence, her words tinged with a hint of playful caution. "You better not allow your gaze to wander towards any other maiden once you reach Fiona," she muttered, her eyes cast downward, attempting to conceal the flush that adorned her cheeks.

Sato\'s smile widened, his eyes glimmering with gentle amusement. He reached out and tenderly placed his hand on her head, a comforting gesture filled with familiarity. "This isn\'t my first time there you know?" He responded, his voice soft yet resolute.

"Don\'t worry about it, u doubt Yuri and Erza would even let me".

As his words washed over her, Erza couldn\'t help but steal a glance, her eyes meeting his briefly before returning to the ground. The warmth of Sato\'s hand upon her head provided solace, a reassuring touch that spoke volumes about the depth of their connection.

A fleeting moment passed, the air charged with unspoken emotions. Erza\'s flustered expression softened, a subtle smile gracing her lips. Sato\'s steady presence and unwavering assurance alleviated her concerns, replacing them with a renewed sense of trust and tranquility.

The others, momentarily forgotten in the intensity of the moment, watched in awe and silence, their gazes filled with a mixture of surprise, happiness, and a touch of envy.

The carriage stood as a silent witness, its presence a reminder of the journey that awaited Sato, now imbued with an even deeper sense of purpose.

"Okay bye now."With a final gesture, Sato bid his companions farewell before stepping into the awaiting carriage. As he settled into the plush chair, a sigh escaped his lips, a mixture of anticipation and the weight of responsibility filling the air around him.

Outside, Shuna, Luna, and Xanxia stood side by side, their hands waving in unison, a silent prayer for a safe and successful journey. Their expressions reflected a blend of affection and concern, their loyalty to Sato unyielding.

"Are you prepared, Master?" Yuri\'s voice cut through the stillness, his unwavering dedication evident in every word.

Sato turned towards his faithful ally, a calm resolve etching itself onto his features. "Yes, Yuri," he replied, his voice steady with determination. "Let\'s pay Jira a visit".

"Heeheh, I can barely contain myself." Divanchi chimed in with an excited grin on her face.

A moment of tranquility enveloped them as they shared a brief nod of understanding. The carriage lurched forward, its wheels slowly gaining momentum. The rhythmic sound of hooves echoed in the air, intermingling with the whispered promises of adventure and the faint hum of destiny.

As the carriage departed, the world outside began to pass by in a blur. Lush green landscapes and quaint villages melded together, each holding its own story and secrets. The path ahead stretched like a ribbon of possibility, leading them closer to the elusive Fiona—a destination that held both mystery and significance.

Sato\'s gaze lingered on the passing scenery, his mind filled with a tapestry of emotions. Excitement intertwined with trepidation, anticipation dancing with the unknown. Yet amidst it all, he carried with him the unwavering resolve to fulfill his purpose and forge a path towards the future he sought.

Together, Sato, Yuri, and Divanchi embarked on this journey, their fates intertwined and their hearts resolute. With each passing mile, the tapestry of their story grew richer, promising both trials and triumphs.

And so, with the wheels of destiny in motion, the carriage pressed on, venturing into the vast unknown. The world awaited their arrival, and Sato\'s indomitable spirit led the way, ready to leave an indelible mark on the realm of Fiona.
