Chapter 252: Confession (1/2)
Ed stood up from his seat and activated his Telekinesis. It extended over the shoulder of everyone from the Sword sect, and then even more feelers extended all over the city, searching for his comrades. Then, the very next instant, he teleported everyone away. Those that never teleported before felt their stomachs churn but chose to bear with it. Those that were caught by surprise withdrew their weapons as they thought it was an enemy attack.
”Relax, we're back in Avalon,” Ed told the group of people who chose to hold an attacking stance. ”Raikou, you can head over to another room if you want to sleep, the sun will just annoy you here.”
The sleeping Raikou woke up due to Ed's words and started to walk towards his room in the castle. From within the corridors of the castle, he could hear people being surprised at Raikou's appearance.
”I guess that will tell everyone we're back. Bella, you should go and say hello to mom, I'm sure she misses you,” Ed told little Bella, who started to hop as she followed after Raikou inside. Emilia followed after her, saying that she needed to greet everyone as well.
”You guys can do whatever you want, I'll head over to talk to my father with everyone else,” Ed said as he looked at his companions, and then at the Sword sect people. The group split into two, Ed along with Mehen and the Sword sect personnel, and Ed's companions who went to start trouble elsewhere.
Ed didn't waste time and headed over to Arthur's office. The surprised Arthur quickly hid his astonishment and welcomed the people that were visiting him.
”Let's change the place a little,” Ed noticed how the office was drowning in paperwork, so he gave a heads up to the others. His eyes flashed in a red color, and in an instant, the surroundings changed.
”What?!” Arthur was quite used to Ed's dimension ability, so he didn't react. But, for those from the Sword sect, they were quite flabbergasted. The only instance where they witnessed Ed's power was from two weeks ago. And that time, they believed it was his teleportation ability.
The group started their discussion immediately. This time, Ed acted as the sect master, instead of Arthur's son. Arthur, who knew of Ed's plans beforehand, didn't say much and accepted whatever his son threw at him. Of course, it was all for Avalon's benefit, so he didn't hesitate even once.
”So, to make things clear for everyone. Glory sect and Sword sect will remain two separate sects in order to keep our identities alive. However, we will work under the sect alliance called, Paladin.” Arthur summarized everything in one go as he looked at the new additions to his kingdom.
No one had anything against the decisions of the meeting, thus they decided to end it. But, before they left, Arthur said, ”You should stay in the capital for a while longer. Since we are going to a war soon, it would be best to know your allies and our future plans. As for you, Ed, I need to talk to you about something.”
”I understand,” Ed said as he undid his dimension. ”You guys can go ahead, if you meet any of my companions, ask them to give you a tour, and I'll catch up with you later.”
