章 566: The Golden Airship

Captain Calvin, a seasoned 32-year-old commander of the esteemed Golden Alpaca Airship, found himself grappling with the stark realization that the day's mission was far from the straightforward endeavor he had anticipated.

"This is supposed to be an easy money..."

Calvin muttered under his breath as he cast a sidelong glance at the brown-haired nobleman adorned in opulent attire who stood beside the ship's helm.

Onboard their vessel was none other than Prince Gregory Byron Ruri, the 14th Prince of the Kingdom, an individual whose prestige stemmed primarily from the substantial wealth bequeathed to him by his late mother.

Today, the 14th Prince had brazenly taken a task originally designated for his elder brother, the 9th Prince. Eager to demonstrate his competence, he had assembled three airships and a cadre of elite arcanists to apprehend those pursuing the enigmatic Vampire of the Drifting Forest.
