The reason was that Sebe was following them. Sebe's bloodline didn't give him wings, but with his status, he managed to learn a flying spell without problems. However, as Sebe was in a lower realm than Aiwai and he could only rely on the skill to fly, his speed was far slower than Aiwai's.
Sebe was going with them to pick the tree, so Aiwai needed to wait for him even if that was equivalent to being slower in reaching the house.
Fortunately, Sebe decided to leave Shirk in the room because if he needed to carry him, the speed would have been even slower.
When everyone reached Aiwai's house, Sebe felt a bit ashamed of his flying capabilities.
"Sorry, my flying skill is too slow compared with yours..."
Sebe's bloodline was second only to divine beasts, and he was the grandson of Anpaes who had a divine beast bloodline as the rumors said. However, that didn't mean that he was skilled in flying as that wasn't something inherent in his bloodline, Sebe's ability in flying was already one of the best in the royal family, but it was worse than Aiwai's capability to fly.
"Sebe, don't worry about that, everyone had weak points, and with your speed, I don't consider your flying as a weak point. Sis is just too skilled at flying; you are awesome compared to anyone else."
Sebe just relying on his flying skill was faster than Yale and Wyba when flying at their best speed. That was a feat because although his realm was higher than them, cross the difference generated by having able to fly naturally from the bloodline was still difficult.
There was a lot of competition in the royal family, and although Sebe wasn't interested in competing with his siblings, he didn't want to be looked down by them either, so in the end, he ended always giving his best into everything.
Sebe had siblings at the Elder Rank, and he didn't fear to compare abilities with them, he couldn't beat them in pure strength, but he was always confident in winning against them on ability. In the royal family, no one of those at the Elder Rank could fly faster than Sebe.
The reason was that there was no bloodline help in that and they should rely on their own efforts, and that was something people who always relied only on the bloodline had difficulties to do.
When Sebe saw that Aiwai was better than him in flying, he subconsciously felt like if one of his siblings had surpassed him and thus he felt ashamed of his abilities. He remembered the days when he was starting to learn the flying skill and his siblings mocked him for being too slow, and he ended up feeling bad and apologizing.
However, after Yale's words, he remembered that he wasn't in that situation and that he had surpassed those who mocked him a long time ago. Moreover, Aiwai was someone with a Frost Winged Wolf Bloodline, and the Frost Winged Wolves were famous for their speed in the sky, it wasn't strange if he was worse than Aiwai.
"The Frost Winged Wolves really live to their reputation."
Sebe laughed after understanding that there was nothing to be ashamed for being slower than Aiwai.
Every bloodline had different strengths, and although training could supply the lack of innate talent, that only applies if the other party relied just on the bloodline, if both parties had trained with the same effort, the one with better bloodline would have an advantage.
Aiwai was someone who liked to train, and her realm and age were higher than Sebe, as she also could fly thanks to her bloodline, it would be difficult for Sebe to surpass her.
After Sebe had stopped laughing and calmed himself, Yale led him towards the place where the Bloodline Fruit Tree was situated while Aiwai had gone with Wyba to put everything into spatial artifacts.
"Oh, a Bloodline Fruit Tree. The bloodline fruits are a good resource to give to the subordinates and motivate them, cultivating them is indeed a good decision. We also have some of those trees in the palace gardens. After moving to the capital you should come with your sisters to take a look to our gardens, there are a lot of trees, herbs, and flowers with a value comparable or superior to this tree. It is a great sight; I am sure the three of you will like it."
The palace gardens were a restricted area and only the royal family or those accompanied by them could enter to it. The place had extremely valuable resources, but they were just put on display as they were still secondary for the true wealth of the royal family.
After all, it was normal for the royal family giving Bloodline Fruits to the subordinates, although others like the Bear Overlord only gave them to those who had rendered special merits. The wealth of the royal family was second to none in the Anpaes Kingdom.
"I will be waiting for it; I am sure that Aiwai and Wyba will love that sight."
Yale was more interested in seeing the resources exposed in the garden than in appreciating the sigh. Yale's knowledge about the resources in the Anpaes Kingdom still lacking compared to Sebe and other members of the royal family. Even in the Bear Overlord's memories, the Bloodline Fruit Tree was incredibly valuable, and although he knew of the existence of better resources, the information was scarce.
After speaking, Sebe put the Bloodline Fruit Tree in his spatial artifact for plants.
"I will go back to the city right now; I will wait for you there with Shirk. Aiwai's speed in flying is faster than mine, so it will be better if I go first to avoid delaying you again."
Then, Sebe activated his flying skill again and flew in the direction of the city. Yale didn't fear that Sebe ran off with the Bloodline Fruit Tree because its value wasn't enough to anger the expert Sebe believed was behind Yale. Even without that kind of fake background, a Bloodline Fruit Tree wouldn't be enough to catch the attention of someone of Sebe's status.
After that, Yale went with Aiwai and Wyba to help them; together they finished storing all in about two hours.
"This is all. Now we can go to the capital without worries."
Aiwai said that with a smile on her face, but Yale knew very well that she still felt a lot of pain to leave that house behind. However, they would be in danger if they remained living there, and Aiwai valued more the security of Yale and Wyba than the house.
She was the one who avoided that Yale stopped Wyba from participating in the training camp and had put Wyba's life in an unnecessary danger despite Yale's advice. Moreover, they had caught too many attention due to Yale saving Wyba.
They had been in danger previously, but after that day, the chances of someone planning to test the strength of their fake faction would increase dramatically.
Aiwai sighed after they started their way back to the city. They reached it fast thanks to Aiwai going at her highest speed. When they reached the city, Sebe had also reached it just a few minutes ago, their difference in speed was obvious.
At that moment, the city was calm because the training camp had finished time ago and everyone left quickly after that. One of their reasons to send their younger generation to the training camp was being able to compete with other factions without catching the attention of the killer of the Bear Overlord.
Thus, after they saw the corpse of the Bear Overlord in Yale's hands, they decided to leave the city as soon as possible.
Yale didn't mind about what those people think or do, he just wanted to go to the capital, and he wouldn't need to worry about them.
Sebe led the others towards the portal place and used a special token to activate it, that token was the key to activate all the portals of the Anpaes Kingdom and was only in possession of the royal family. For those who asked for using a portal once without being accompanied by someone of the royal family, there were disposable tokens with limited functions.
"Once we reach the other side, don't say anything and just follow me."
Everyone nodded before entering into the portal. Except for Sebe the others had never been there, so they were excited to see the capital for the first time in their lives.
