A long while passed before Ed recovered from his immense shock.
The way he looked at Raylo had transformed from his earlier respect to a near-fanatical reverence.
"My lord... you... you are truly a genius!"
He praised from the bottom of his heart.
Raylo gave a noncommittal smile and patted his shoulder.
"Go on. Tell our devout believers this 'good news.' The treatment their Divine Spirit receives will depend on the choice they make."
"Yes, my lord!"
Ed excitedly pounded his chest, the worried look on his face completely gone.
He turned and prepared to deliver this "inspiring" order.
However, he had only taken two steps,
when a Knight came sprinting toward them, his expression panicked.
He shouted as he ran, his voice filled with terror and unease.
"My lord! Commander! This is bad!"
Ed stopped dead in his tracks, immediately spinning around and shouting with a frown,
"What's the panic? Has the sky fallen?"
The Knight ran up to them.
