Chapter 63: Old Truths

Year: X758. 26 years till Canon begins.

Cade POV:

"M-My uncle… has been leading this new branch of the Magic Council?!" I said in shock as I stared at the photo in some more detail.

My uncle was wearing the usual white uniform of the Magic Council. He had the symbol of the Magic Council on his uniform, it was on his white blazer. I noticed that his uniform had some gold braiding along the edges of his upper clothing.

His hair was also much more tider and better combed than it usually was. I also noticed that he looked much older than when I had last saw him. Now his dark blonde hair was much greyer than it usually was. If my memory serves me right, he would be 60 years old right now. His face also showed signs of aging, with a few wrinkles across his cheeks.

This… This was so much to take in in a such a short amount of time!

Master Makarov seemed to notice my expression and chose to speak up for me.

"For six years now, he had been pushing for the construction of a separate division of the Magic Council to take the fight to the Dark Guilds. The loss of his brother pushed him into his new way of life." Master explained to me.

I slammed my hands on the desk. "Master! Please tell me everything about my father's death and what my uncle had been up to!" I pleased as I raised my voice. "I… I need to know! I don't want to hide from what happened six years ago, I need the truth!"

Master nodded his head. "I will. But first, there is one thing that I must have you promise me." Master said with seriousness.

I was annoyed by this. "Master. I think I deserve-"

"Please Cade! You must promise me this! I need to ensure that you will stay safe after I tell you this information!" Master shouted – no, demanded.

I had never seen Master act so seriously before in my life. The sight that was before me was a man who looked both serious and also concerned with what he was about to tell me.

I bit my lip, before answering Master. "Alright. I promise, whatever it is. I mean it, I really do."

Master gave a sigh of relief and lowered his head a bit. "Thank you Cade. What I am asking of you is that you do not act rashly upon the information I am about to share with you. I know that you are good for thinking things through, instead of running in headfirst into a situation. But… I still need your word that you will not." Master said with a low mutter at the end.

I gave a small gulp. "Like I said, I promise."

"Alright then." Master Makarov said as he rubbed his head with his hand. "I shall tell you how your father died six years ago on that S-Class quest he took." He said as he brought his hand back on the desk.

"I am not sure if you remember, but the quest that your father took involved a trip to Crocus where he was to assist Rune Knights with recovering stolen goods from a museum. They traveled out into the mountains outside of town, but unfortunately, they were met with much death and destruction." Master began, as his voice began to show a tone of sorrow.

"Your father and the Commander of the Royal Knight squad that was accompanying him were forced to split up. Your father ran into a member of a Dark Guild known as Tartaros. They had a fight… and your father lost the fight and was forced to retreat."

My eyes were wide with shock. Father lost? From what he had told me, he hardly ever lost a fight! Master looked to continue the story.

"Upon escaping the person he was fighting, he met back up with the Commander of the Royal Knight squad. He was the only survivor of the squad, as all the other members were killed by a member of Tartaros. Your father told the Commander to take cover and hide in some bushes, while he would try to stop whatever Tartaros was doing."

Master stopped speaking and moved his head downwards a little. I was quickly able to figure out why he had stopped speaking.

"No-! That's it? That all we know?!" I exclaimed with horror. "M-My father, what happened to him!?"

"We have no idea what happened with your father after that." Master spoke with remorse. "From what the commander told everyone, he felt a rumbling sound, as if a powerful spell was being casted. I have a feeling it was a spell of your father's. One… that will kill the user upon being casted."

Master now lowered his head. I could hear his voice choking up. I myself was beginning to feel some tears forming in my eyes.

"He sacrificed himself to kill those Demons!" Master raised his head and I saw some tears in his eyes. "If it weren't for him, then they would have most likely succeeded in whatever they were planning!"

I was now beginning to cry as well. Tears began to exit my eyes and run down my nose, cheeks and fall of my face. "F-Father!" I cried in sadness.

This whole time I thought that he had just died to another wizard on that quest. But in reality, he had sacrificed himself to kill those horrible wizards that were killing others! He was a hero! And it only took me until now to realise!

I continued to cry for a few minutes, and Master handed me a tissue to dry my eyes. Upon doing so, and calming down a little, I saw that Master had also stopped crying. His face was still red due to the tears though.

"Thank you for that Master." I said, still sniffing a little. "What about that Commander that survived?"

"He reported the whole thing to Crocus and the Magic Council. He also convinced the museum staff to give him the book that your father wanted you to have for your birthday. He would bring it there on that day."

"Wait, HE was the Commander?!" I could barely remember the image of the man who told me what had happened to my father that day.

There was one more thing that I was interested about. "What about that Dark Guild?"

"The Magic Council spent about five seconds before giving up the search for Tartaros. To this day, they still remain hidden in the shadows." Master scoffed at the mention of the Magic Council. "Tartaros have still never been found or have been discovered since that horrible incident years ago."

"Oh…" That filled me with great sadness and anger. "So they're still out there?!"

"Yes." Master spat. "That is why I asked to make that promise with me Cade. You can't go after them. Even if we knew where they were, we just couldn't."

I clenched my bandaged fist. "Why not?" I demanded.

Master looked at me with a strict and cutting look in his eyes. He had a stern expression. "Because we would not win." He whispered with anger. "Tartaros are unlike any other Dark Guild that have been seen before. They have monsters that are incredibly powerful. Powerful enough to defeat one of our best S-Class wizards. Fairy Tail is not yet strong enough to defeat them."

"What kind of monsters?" I asked, my anger fading away slightly.

"I spoke of them earlier. They are known as Etherious Demons that serve the dead Dark Wizard known as Zeref. From what the Commander described in his report, they are animalistic in appearance. The one that attacked him had some parts of an animal. What is most dangerous about them is that fact that we don't know how many there are. They are S-Class threats by themselves." Master explained with a tension in his voice.

"I'm guessing that your father was able to kill the two that he was facing. But it is important to remember… he was defeated by one of them. It is highly possible that the Demons he fought towards the end of his life still managed to survive." Master said with a grimace.

I was silent after hearing this information and lowered my head a little. Eventually though, I raised my head and spoke out again.

"Is this why you didn't say anything to me? Just to make sure that I didn't run off after Tartaros?" I asked.

"Yes. I… just couldn't risk it. It was when I saw you being a patient and reserved young man, that I regretted withholding the information from you. I am sorry." Master apologised with a somber voice.

"It's ok Master… If my father couldn't beat one of them, then I doubt I could." I said in understanding. I could get why Master wanted to keep the truth from me when he knew the whole time. He was just looking out for me. But still, my uncle was something I needed answers about.

"So, what about the whole thing about my uncle and that Magic Council Branch that he is now leading?" I asked with interest.

Master took a moment before answering me. "I'm not entirely aware of how he has become the leader of this branch. I was under the assumption that it was the Commander who survived that job that was leading it." Master scratched his moustache as he said that.

"Him? Why that Commander in particular?"

"Well after he barely made it out of that job with his life, he must have realised how big of a threat Dark Guilds can really be. After it was announced that your father had been killed at your birthday back then, he told me that he would be trying to form a new branch in the Magic Council to combat these Dark Guilds."

That branch was obviously established as we know, but how your uncle is in charge, I have no idea." Master seemed to think about that. "Either way, with the formation of this new branch we can only hope that many Dark Guilds are defeated and extinguished for good." Master said as he gave a sigh after that.

"Yes. We can only hope so…" I said after. After a moment of silence, I spoke back up to Master. "Is there anything else that you had to tell me?"

Master shook his head. "No. Nothing of great importance. I just felt it would be right to tell you everything. I'm sorry if this was out of the blue."

"Again, it's ok. I'm feeling alright now. It's good in a way to know who it was that killed my father all those years ago."

It felt like a large, thick cloud that had been over me previously had almost floated away and would no longer rain on me. This was something that had never previously bothered me all that much, but I felt a bit better now. Just knowing the truth made me a bit more at ease.

"Thanks for telling me all this." I smiled as I stood up. "Oh, by the way, where is that division of the Magic Council located at?"

"It's just south of Crocus." Master replied simply. "Why'd you ask?"

"Well I was maybe planning on visiting sometime. I've always been wondering where and what my uncle has been up to since I last saw him." I spoke. "Erm, if that's not a problem of course!"

Master gave me an amused look. "Why would that be an issue?" He asked with confusion.

"Well I'm S-Class now. I kind of have lots of responsibilities here at the guild… So if I can't go then-"

Master cut me off with a barking laugh. "What? Of course you can go! Why would I keep you here? The S-Class wizards here at Fairy Tail have just as much freedom as the others here."

Master then gave me a smile. "Just make sure to let me know if you ever plan on going somewhere. I do need to know where my S-Class wizards are."

I was relieved to hear that. "Oh great! Does that go for any S-Class quests as well?" I questioned with interest.

"As you've been recently promoted to S-Class, just let me know if you plan on going on any S-Class jobs anytime soon. As for the Decade Class and Century Class quests… Well, I'm sure you know if you are ready for them or not."

I nodded. "Of course Master." I then walked towards the door and said one last thing to Master before I left.

"Hey, thanks again for all this." I said as I turned to him with a warm smile on my face.

"You're welcome Cade. It sounds like the fighting outside has subsided now." Master spoke.

I realised that I could no longer hear the sound of punches, kicks and shouting from outside the door. "Huh. Guess you're right about that. Well see you later Master!" I said as I waved him goodbye, as I opened the door and walked out of his office. I then shut it behind me.

As I thought, the fighting had stopped almost completely. That seemed to be because of the fact that no one was still in the guild.

'Whoa. Where is everyone?' I thought with surprise.

I walked around the guild a bit to see if anyone was left here. With the sun now completely set, only the small wall lights in the guild were lighting the place up. As I was walking, I heard a voice from above me.

"So how was it?"

I looked up and saw Gildarts leaning over the railing. "Nice of you to wait for me. Did everyone else head home?" I asked as I looked around the main hall again.

"Yeah, the party kind of ended when we all realised that all the beer had ran out. The fight that was happening was also taken outside, so everyone kind of just left." Gildarts then leapt over the railing and landed on the floor next to me. "So how was it?" He asked again.

I thought for a moment before speaking up. Did Gildarts know that it was Tartaros that killed my father? Had Master told anyone else?

I was going to further this line of thought, but then Gildarts spoke up. "Hey, you ok? You're kind of spacing out over here." He said to me with a look of surprise.

"Huh? Oh I'm fine! Just thinking about what Master told me – Which is the fact that my uncle has been leading a separate branch of the Magic Council." I explained.

Gildarts was struck by that information. "What? Really?"

"Yeah. Could hardly believe it myself."

"How the hell did that happen?" Gildarts asked with a bizarre look.

"Well when my father died my uncle helped create a separate branch of the Magic Council that is focused on taking down Dark Guilds. No idea how he did it, but he is a pretty unique guy." I said with a happy shrug.

"Wow… Well that must mean that the Magic Council will be going easy on you from now if your uncle is the head of one of the branches there!" Gildarts smiled when he said that and gave me a nudge on the shoulder.

"I… guess?" I looked around the guild before speaking up again. "So I'm thinking about heading back home now. It is getting late after all."

"Sure. Guess I'll see you tomorrow then? Well if those injuries of yours don't freak out your mother that much." Gildarts smirked in amusement.

I gave a huff when realising that. "Oh great… She'll probably want me in the house for the next week to heal up and get better when she sees all my bandages.

I couldn't exactly get rid of my bandages just like that. Sure I was feeling a bit better now, my magic had recovered somewhat, and I could walk without that much trouble. But mother might be fuming if I came home with no sort of first aid on me.

"I'll… see you when she thinks I'm feeling better." I said in defeat. "Well, see you Gildarts." I waved goodbye to my friend as I walked out of the guildhall and into the night sky.

Time to head home!


As I walked through the quiet and calm night of Magnolia, I allowed myself to think about everything Master had said in a bit more detail.

The thought that my uncle had been busy building a division of the Magic Council for so long was amazing to think about! He must have been rather charismatic to convince the council to go through with it.

Did he have help from that Commander that accompanied my father on that quest? It was his idea to set the whole thing up after all. These are questions that I could really only ask him when I see him.

I would have to arrange for a way to the Magic Council headquarters to try and see him! Now that I knew what he had been up to these last six years, I was all the more eager to see him again.

My thoughts then came to the topic of my father and the fate he suffered on that quest he went on. If Master hadn't told anyone what had happened on that quest he went on… then should I tell the guild? Did I have that right?

What would the guild do if I told them? Would they all try to track down where Tartaros is and take the fight to them? Master said that we would not win if we went up against them.

If I held the truth from them… then I'd also be hiding the truth from Gildarts – my best friend at the guild. Gildarts was possibly the strongest at Fairy Tail, just below Master Makarov I'd say.

But my father once had a fight with Master Makarov, and he held his own against him. These Tartaros Demons were SUPER strong from what I was told. I didn't want to tell Gildarts about the identity of who killed my father. He might actually get killed. I would never be able to forgive myself if that happened.

I decided to put an end to these rather dark thoughts and focused on the good side of things right now. Eventually, I came up to the hills that led to the family manor.

When I got to the front door of the manor, I checked and saw that it was unlocked! Perhaps mother was still awake and waiting to see if I was back or not.

I opened the door and entered the house, eager to see her and tell her that I had became S-Class!

I found that the main hall was in darkness. As I entered the house and closed the door behind me, I heard a voice I was hoping to hear from my right.

"So you're back! Tell me, how was it?" Came my mother eagerly.

Suddenly the lights in the main hall turned on, with a dim light lighting up the main hall. To my right, I saw mother in a pink fluffy housecoat. She was wearing some slippers and did look quite tired. She was currently messing with the lights to get them on a dimmer setting.

She eventually stopped fiddling with the lights and turned around to face me. When she saw all my bandages however, her eyes widened greatly.

"Cade! What happened to you?!" She said with a bit of fear as she quickly came up to me to inspect me in closer detail.

"Oh erm… just got a bit hurt during the trial. But I'm ok! Can barely feel any of these injuries anymore." I quickly assured her.

This did not stop her from looking at me from all sides to see how battered up I really was. She inspected my backside and my left and right side. I could see a look of concern on her face as she inspected me. "Hey, I'm fine, don't worry about me…!"

…This didn't stop her. Eventually she came back to stand in front of me and took a deep breath. I felt a small bit of sweat be able to roll down the back of my neck.

Mother sighed. "Is there anything serious?" She said with annoyance.

I blinked. "Oh, no there isn't. Just got battered and bruised quite a bit. That's all!"

Here I thought that mother would be nervous and angry about my condition. Guess I was overthinking things. 'Looks like I got lucky…'

"Well try to take better care of yourself!" She gave me a knock on the head when she said that. She then crossed her arms. "So. Did you make it to S-Class?" She inquired looking deeply interested.

I gave her a smirk. "Of course I made it! I became an S-Class wizard today!" I said with happiness.

Mother gave a cry of joy as she ran up to me and hugged me tightly. "Oh I'm so proud of you! I can still remember how I hugged your father after he became S-Class! Well done Cade!"

I hugged her back. "Thanks. It was a tough fight, but I was able to pull it off in the end!"

We broke the hug and faced each other, before mother spoke up to me. "So what was it like? Tell me everything!" She insisted.

I then told mother about the time on Tenro Island. I started with the journey on the train and boat to get there, before moving onto talk about the race that I had to participate in. After that, it was the right with Ivan.

I didn't retract all the damage and injuries I sustained during the fight. No way I could hide them now that mother had seen them. She was a bit uncomfortable to hear about the beating Ivan had given me during the trial, but she cheered up when I told her about how I went on to win the fight and later the trial.

I didn't get into that much detail about the journey back, only that I got to talk with a Wizard Saint that wasn't Master Makarov. I did tell her about all the different S-Class and above jobs in Fairy Tail that I saw – and that I wouldn't be taking any of them anytime soon.

Now it was time to tell her what Master had told me back at the guild.

"Say mother. I just learned of something very important at the guild there. You might not believe me when I tell you this…"

Mother gave me a curious look. "What is it Cade?" She questioned frowning her eyebrows a bit.

"It's so crazy! Uncle Jack had been leading a separate branch of the Magic Council! Master just told me in the guild there! I'm so happy for him!" I said with joy.

Mother gave a gasp and covered her mouth with her hand. "H-He actually did it!?"

"Yes! He-"

"Hold on… What did you say there?"

Mother widened her eyes a little, before she frowned and looked away from me. "Ah… right… guess I should explain myself then…"

"Did you-?" I began to say, but mother finished my sentence for me.

"Know? Yes I did." She said with some shame.

"WH-WHAT!? You knew and you didn't tell me! Why?!" I demanded with anger.

"Because your uncle himself told me to not tell you!" Mother replied immediately after I said that.

"EXCUSE ME?! He told you not to tell me?!" I exclaimed with shock.

Mother nodded her head. "Yes… it's a story that I can tell you now that you found out about it from Master Makarov." She started to say.

"Do you remember when you unlocked your Ice Magic all these years ago? You fell unconscious due to the drain that you felt?" Mother asked me.

I did in fact recall that memory. "How could I forget? Perhaps one of the most important days of my life." I answered.

Mother nodded. "Well, you won't believe this. Mere hours before you woke up, your uncle Jack came to see me and you in the hospital."

"Y-You're kidding? I only missed him by mere hours? He was in Magnolia by the time I woke up?" I said in shock at this detail. What were the odds of me missing him like that?

"Yes, I found it quite surprising to see him enter the room where I was waiting for you. He told me that he was looking to see me but heard about what happened from Pierce and Charles and rushed over here. He was glad that you were ok and spoke to me about what he had been doing recently."


No POV, June Philipe:

6 Years ago:

"It's good to see you again Jack. I just wish this was under better circumstances." June greeted Jack, as she looked down at the sleeping body of her son. She was sitting down on a chair next to the bed.

Jack gave a deep sigh. "Yes I was hoping the same. What happened to him?" He asked with concern.

June gave a small smile and looked up at Jack. "Cade awakened his magic."

Jack was stunned to hear this. "What? He really did it?" Jack inquired with interest.

June nodded. "Master Makarov from Fairy Tail brought him here and said that it was Ice Magic. Not that far of a cry from his father's magic right?"

Whereas June expected Jack to be happy and overjoyed at this news, instead, Jack was frowning and clenching his right fist.

June was puzzled. "What's wrong?"

Jack frowned. "I'm happy for Cade, really I am. But this does put a damper on what I came here for." He said with annoyance.

June now was really confused. "Jack what's going on?"

Jack gave a sigh before answering June. "I've been busy since I last saw you and Cade. I was coming here to tell the both of you that I have been working with two others to form a separate division of the Magic Council. One that will be focused on properly defeating Dark Guilds."

June was baffled to hear this. "What? That's what you've been doing?!"

Jack motioned her to quieten down as to not awaken Cade who was still sleeping. He then replied to her.

"Yes. I have helped fund the building of this new division. As you know, I am quite rich from my travels and adventures across Fiore. It is me, that Commander who told us about Cobalt and one other person that I am yet to meet."

June spoke up. "But… why? Why go this far?"

Jack gave her a firm look. "Because. Those bastards killed my brother, and the Magic Council certainly isn't doing anything to help. To hell with waiting for some good news to come up. I have the money to help make sure that we can catch these people who killed Cobalt and save anyone else who may need it."

June now understood her brother-in-laws motivation behind this. There was only one big question left. "Ok so… why does Cade knowing magic not help you with this?"

"I'm guessing that he will be joining a guild after this new that he had awakened his magic?" Jack asked – him already figuring the answer.

"Oh he already has." June replied with a smile. Jack looked confused, but June spoke back up for him. "Long story, but please continue."

Jack grimaced. "Because he is a part of a guild and has magic. I'm going to have to ask you to do something that will be one of the hardest decisions in your life: I need you to hide the fact that I'm helping to build this separate branch of the Magic Council."

"What? But why?" June protested.

Jack moved his head to the side a little. "I've learned the details of how Cobalt died on that quest he went on. I'll just say this; it was no ordinary Dark Guild that he faced. If Cade learns of the identity of them, I'm afraid that he'll try to go after them as an act of revenge."

June sat up straight and gave Jack a serious look. "Cade would never do that. He's far too kind and loving to do something like that."

"We can't know that for sure. Wouldn't you go after them if you had magic?" Jack countered.

June hissed through her teeth. "Don't you dare bring me in to this Jack." She gave Jack a glare. "Cade deserves to know what happens to his father."

"I'm trying to protect him!" Jack rebutted, while also trying to be quiet. "I spoke to Master Makarov at Fairy Tail, and he is against the idea of telling Cade as well."

Jack moved to continue speaking, and June allowed him to do so. "Look. The horrors that Cobalt faced on that job is nothing that a ten-year-old boy deserves to know about. He should be told about my business going forwards, and the truth of how his father died at an older age."

Jack saw that June was looking down at the floor. "June. Please promise me that you will hide the truth from him. I lost my brother, and I don't want to risk losing my nephew to these monsters." Jack convinced June one final time.

June just sat there looking at the floor. As if she was thinking about this in great detail. Eventually she looked up and spoke out to Jack.

"Fine. But he will learn the truth in the future." She stated calmly.

Jack nodded his head, knowing this was the best that he could do right now. "Thank you. I can send a report round for you to see the details of how Cobalt died. Sadly, I don't know when I will next be in Magnolia. I could be working away for years." He muttered with a frown.

June stood up and moved towards Jack. "Just be sure to try and stay in the one place this time." She smiled as she hugged him.

Jack returned the hug. "I don't plan on travelling the country anymore. I have a job and a goal to work towards now." He said as he broke the hug.

Jack then moved towards the door of the room and opened it. Before he left, he gave one last look to Cade who was sleeping on the bed.

Jack gave a smile. "Good luck at Fairy Tail Cade." He whispered before he exited the rooms and shut the door.


Cade POV:

"N-No way… That actually happened…?" I said in disbelief.

Mother shuffled her feet awkwardly. "More or less. It was six years ago, so some details might be a bit hazy. In the end though, I decided to not tell you about your uncle's plans. I… also received a report about your father's last moments on that job. I also hid that from you…" Mother spoke with shame.

"I'm sorry for keeping the truth from you." She apologised as she had a look of failure on her face.

"You don't need to apologise. I get why you did it." I assured her with a small smile. "You were just nervous about me doing something stupid. I was kind of impatient back when I was a child." I confessed as I rubbed my head.

Mother lowered her head. "But I should have told you after I made that promise to you in Lavender Village. We promised that we wouldn't try to hold each other back in our lives." She reminded with a guilt in her voice.

"If you think you should have told me back then, then that's fine. But I don't care as it wouldn't have really changed all that much going forwards in my future. What matters is that you still did decide to tell me here and now. So thanks." I smiled at her.

Mother raised her head a little to look at me. "You really don't mind…?" She said with some surprise.

"Like I said, I don't really care. I've learned now, and I get why you hid the truth from me. If I learned the truth back then, I doubt I would have gone after them myself. But I still think I would have done something." I said as I frowned.

"By the way…" I moved to continue. "I… know how father died on that job years ago. As well as the guild he fought." I explained to mother.

"Did Master Makarov tell you?" She asked.

"Yeah. He felt it was time for me know the truth now that I'm S-Class." I said. "He died a hero on that quest… I had no idea…"

My mother shifted her face into an expression of anger. "Tartaros. That is a name I have never forgot since I first learned it." She said with distain.

I frowned. "Yeah… me too."

I heard most Dark Guild names before in the past. Names like 'Evil Dagger' or 'Vengeful Dragon' were common Dark Guild names. Tartaros sounded like it was truly a place where demons truly resided. It was a far more sinister sounding name than the other Dark Guild names I had heard.

I let out a sigh of relief and tried to put these thoughts out of my head for the night. "Thank for telling me that. I'm feeling exhausted after that trial and all the walking I've done after it though."

Mother gave me an honest smile. "Perhaps a long morning in bed would be good for you." She suggested.

"Yeah. That might be for the best." I chuckled after she said that. "I'll see you in the morning then?"

"Yes I will. Good night Cade, and congratulations again." She nodded as she moved to enter the dining room of the manor. Guess she was hungry.

I then moved to head upstairs and into bed. It had been a looooong day today. I need a good few hours of rest to relax and recover properly.

After I undone my bandages and got changed into my pyjamas, I practically collapsed onto my bed. Upon getting in and trying to get comfortable, I tried to get myself to sleep.

Yet it took a while to do so. My thoughts were constantly being focused on one thing only.

Demons.

Vague silhouettes of monstrous creatures that were animalistic in appearance flashed through my mind. Even as an S-Class wizard, the thought of these monsters roaming the world was something to be truly afraid of.


And that's that chapter done and completed! Please do leave a review of your thoughts!

We have finally got the truth of what Uncle Jack has been up to. Makes sense that he has been away for so long as I doubt making a separate branch of the Magic Council would be easy in any way.

Cade has also finally learned the truth about what happened to his father years ago. With the name of Tartaros now permanently etched into his mind, we can only wait to see how he will react with this information going forwards.

This arc is also now over and completed. Feel free to let me know how you felt with it.

Anyway, I hope you all enjoyed this chapter, and I am looking forward to seeing you in the next one!
