--- Edward Point of View ---
It was a rainy day; Edward was flying outside the borders on non-human territory, but not that far from the Kingdom. A huge forest stretched on the horizon, birds were flying close to Edward even though it was raining.
Edward has stopped going into Valzor castle after they pledging loyalty to the new King, but that doesn't mean he is in danger in the Kingdom, on the contrary, he does not even suffer pressure to join the Blood Temple.
Different from most rank S that were already on the peak, Edward reached the peak of rank S by his own training and had a vast future ahead. Even Adel believed he would one day reach rank SS, that's why he could do whatever he wanted, and nobody would do anything against him.
Unless he decides to go against the Blood Temple or the King. There were suspicious that he planned to do one day, but till now he didn't act, or at least was what everyone thought.
