Chapter 175 - Few for the many (1/2)
Once Ray had heard Harry's words it brought back a memory for him. Why would Delbert send people to the tunnels that weren't a part of the Dark guild or Pure blood? Then the image of the people tied up to the tables came to his mind. Delbert must have been in charge of choosing who to send down there. He couldn't send knights because people would notice, so instead, he chose to send his servants.
”You're right!” Harry said now on his knees, ”But even then, I chose to ignore what was happening to them, until the arena. When everyone was being slaughtered and attacked by the Dark Guild my father ran away before anyone else. Of course, he knew the attack was going to happen but did he tell me about it? No. Did he come back to try to save me or Sebastian? No. That day I decided that man is no father of mine. His son died in that arena and never came back.”
Ray then walked over to Harry who was kneeling on the floor and offered out his hand.
”Humans are untrustworthy and it's time to get used to it but your part of the Red wings now which means your part of my family.”
Harry looked up at Ray's hand, he couldn't believe this was the same person who he had beaten so easily only a year and a half ago. What had made him change so much? but that wasn't right either, no, Ray had always been like this Harry thought.
Harry then took Ray's hand and the group continued to go up the stairs. They had met no trouble so far as Slyvia and Von were with the group. until they had reached the 3rd from the top floor just underneath the Master knights' floor.
Standing by the stairs where two nights with white sashes.
”Stop right there,” The white sash knight said, ”No one is allowed to go up these stairs.”
Slyvia then stood in front of Ray who had been taking the lead so far.
”Do you not recognize who I am, I am an official Elder of the council and by my side is Von the Ex elder.”
The two knights looked at each other before giving a reply.
”I'm sorry young miss but we have strict orders to not allow anyone up here including you two.”
”This is ridiculous, who gave you such orders.”
”I'm sorry mam but we cannot say…”
Before the two knights could finish saying their sentence, Ray held both of them up by their neck in the air using his two hands.
”We don't have time for this!” Ray shouted.
”Ray you can't their knights of Avrion, there on our side!” Slyvia cried.
”They're not my knights!”
”Now tell us who gave you those orders?”
Suddenly as if the two were stuck in a trance they answered immediately in a monotone voice.
”Our orders were given to us by the Master knights Delbert and Rose.”
Ray then chucked the two away from the staircase and into the hall.
”Can't you see something is already going on up there, they're trying to slow us down.”
