Si Shuo's mood grew heavy for a moment, but she quickly shook it off. 'Our good days have only just begun. We should live in the moment. Why worry about such a distant future?'
They hadn't been in line for long when several Flying Beasts in the uniforms of the City Lord Mansion's guards landed before them. "Clan Leader Wei Jin, Vice Admiral Wei Ce, there you are! We'll take you in first."
Wei Jin smiled, nodded his thanks, and climbed aboard with Song Ying, who was holding their pair of Iron eating Beast cubs.
Si Shuo's family followed close behind. They swept past the long line of envious Beastmen, carried by the Flying Beast Soldiers into the rear garden of the City Lord Mansion.
The garden included a large, enclosed area of low-lying shrubs. The chill of spring hadn't yet passed, but a hundred flowers were in full bloom before them, as if celebrating the day's joyous occasion.
