Chapter 12: The talk and The practice (1/2)

Ed got back to the castle. He wasn't in the mood to play so after taking a bath with his companions he asked Becky to get them some food and not let anyone enter.

After eating Ed slept. He later found out that his sister was very upset with him since she wanted to play with Raikou.

In morning Ed woke up by Becky's knocking. She informed him that his father wanted to have a talk with him. Ed guessed it was because of the matter with Eric.

While he was heading for his father's office, Ed noticed Bella hiding behind corners and looking at him with upset eyes. He tried to talk to her but she hid immediately.

'How cute' Ed thought that his angry sister was very cute.

”So you don't want to talk to me, Bella? So that means you don't want to play with my new companion Suika?” As soon as Bella heard him say new companion, she stretched out her head looking at him with anticipation rather than anger this time.

”Aaah too bad then, I'm gonna have to play with it alone...” Ed then summoned Suika and got her to come out.

”I wanna play! I wanna play!” When Bella saw Suika, she forgot about her grudge and turned sweet again. Ed got Suika to play with Bella, both of them were happy with the arrangements.

”Let's go play!” ”Suu~~!” They wandered off jumping around.

Ed got to his father's office and knocked. ”Enter” He heard his father's command and entered the room.

”I heard you got into a fight with your brother”

”Yes I did” Ed had nothing to hide as he wasn't ashamed of what he had done.

”I heard the story from Becky and Griffin. I just wanted to tell you that you weren't wrong. It seems some bad company found their way into your brother's mind” His voice had a hint of worry in it.

”You won't be punished, however, I'll warn you, fights between family members are prohibited. Understand?” ”Yes father”

”Good. Moving on, the reason for your brother's actions is a couple of disciples of the sect. They will be punished along with Eric.” Ed couldn't say anything as he knew his father made up his mind. He also thought that such behavior couldn't be tolerated.

Ed, after all, was thought that all lives are equal. He believed no one should be mistreated just because of his social position.

”You may leave now” Arthur spoke and got back to his work which seemed to always be increasing.

”Understood father” Ed likewise spoke and left the room. He called Raikou and searched together for his sister. It was time to fulfill his promise and teach her some sword techniques.

Luckily they found her playing with Suika in the training hall so that saved them some time.

”Brother you're not here to take Suika back right?” Bella got in front of Suika and looked like she wanted to protest in case her bother wanted to take her away.

”No no, I'm here to teach the sword techniques you liked,” Ed told her what he was here for.

”Really brother you mean it?!!” Bella was sparkling.

”Let us start!” Ed got a wooden sword for both of them.
