Uncle

Narrator's POV

"Wh-What did you said?" Edgar stuttered as he was dumbfounded with the statement coming out of Minister Mello's mouth.

"Oh, nothing. Just here to see you react about something that isn't true. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" The Minister replied as he laughed.

"You evil son of the DEVIL!!!!! HOW DARE YOU JOKE AROUND WITH SOMETHING ABOUT MY SON!!!! YOU WERE SOMEONE HE LOOKED UP TO! YOU TRAITOROUS BASTARD!" Edgar furiously shouted which echoed throughout the empty hallways of the underground dungeon jail.

"Well, that is enough for today Edgar. I will be going since I still have a lot to do. Let's go, Vaughn. Bye Bye, poor Edgar!" Mello waved his goodbyes as he smiled towards the prisoner which was obviously not happy.

"YOU IMBECILE!!"

The pair then walked towards the long hallways of the dungeon as Vaughn asked his superior.

"Boss, is it really true that Reid Habsber is alive?!"

"Don't jump to conclusions idiot! I never said something like that!"

"But you said to his father that he is alive though.."

"I was just testing him if he has any involvements but it looks like he does not. You also need to remember that I am just speculating. It does not mean that it is confirmed yet. I just have a feeling that he is."

"Alright. I will keep doing my job then."

"Good. By the way, do you know where is the cell of the other prisoners?"

"Oh, you mean the thief and the rebel sir? Don't worry, I can lead you the way. But you also need to know this sir."

"What is it?"

"Those captured dudes are in a vegetable state or something? I don't know but that thing that doctors say that I do not know."

"Idiot! You mean vegetative state!"

"Ahh right! What does that mean boss?"

"It means that they are paralyzed. This is bad news. We can't interrogate them."

"Oh right, since they are kind of dead. Why don't we just check them out, sir?"

"Fine. Maybe we can find some kind of information about them. Where is the cell?!"

"Oh, right here sir! We just walked past it!"

"You dumb fool. Let's just move."

After the duo arrived, they were welcomed by a guard.

"Hey! What are you guys doing in this exclusive cell?" The guard asked.

"You disrespectful bastar-!" Vaughn said as he was about to punch the guard but was prevented by Mello.

"No need for violence here Vaughn. Anyways I am the Minister Mello Lasterson and I am here to investigate the two suspects."

The guard immediately changed his attitude.

"Oh, you are the Minister? I am very sorry for my attitude sir, but isn't the investigation scheduled after the suspects are awake?"

"Don't worry I have permission from the Warden himself."

"Oh really? Then I welcome you here sir! But make sure that you won't harm then until their execution. That is the special order coming from Your Highness himself."

"Oh don't worry. I have no plans disobeying his orders."

After more talks, they have finally entered the room where they preserve the two criminals. Two beds in the middle. On the left was the captured maid from the first incident, Gace. On the right is the rebel that took a noble as a hostage, Predo. They are both lying their whole body as their eyes are open. They are of course both tied up tightly with some iron chains.

"My god this is horrible!" Vaughn reacted.

"Shut up Vaughn. We need to do our job here!"

"What are we supposed to do here boss? Touch their bodies and find some kind of clue?"

"Exactly!"

"WHAT?!?! THAT IS GROSS?!"

"You have no choice. That is your job."

As the minister and his trusted guard continues their investigation, the former Reid Squad has arrived at the gates of the Prisoners' Dungeon. Because they were high ranking soldiers, they were of course well respected by the normal jailers and guards.

"Welcome to the Prisoners' Dungeon Dear Soldiers!" The guards proclaimed.

"Thank you. Where is Warden Isac located?" Blu calmly asked the guard.

"Sir Warden Isac is currently located at his Office, sir!"

"Oh? Would you mind leading us the path?"

"No proble-!"

"Hey, Blu! I can do that! I know the location of the office. Don't worry!" Yela cheerfully interrupted.

"Are you sure ma'am?"

"Of course! I have been here a couple of times already!'

"Alright, Yela! Lead the way. I am getting impatient here!" Grimm said.

"Sure! Follow me."

The group then went on their own path towards Warden Isac's office headed by Yela.

After a while of walking, they have finally arrived, and the first thing they heard was...

"MY BABY YELA!!!!!!!"

"UNCLE ISAC!!!!!!!!"

They then proceeded to hug.

Yes. Warden Isac is Yela's uncle. His full name is Isac Silverstrom which is of course the also the same as Yela. The Silverstrom family is also a family of nobles but is not as powerful as the Great Families yet they are still influential. In fact, if all of the great families were to disappear, the Silverstrom family would be the most powerful family in the Kingdom of Zione.

"Have you been training Dear Yela? I heard you became weaker?"

"Of course not uncle! I have been training my flame magic very well! In fact, maybe I can beat your flame magic by now!"

"Are you sure?"

The Silverstrom Family is a different kind of nobility. They are not as rich as others. They are also not as many as the others. What makes them special is the fact that almost all of their family members are magic users, especially flame magic.

"Wow. Never really thought that Yela's uncle is the warden." Grimm commented.

"What I never really thought is the fact that her uncle is basically a Stronger Male version of Yela," Blu replied.

Chae just nodded after hearing those words.

"Ahem!" Blu coughed which interrupted the bonding session of the two.

"Oh yes! I forgot to be professional. Why are you and your squad here Dear Yela?" Warden Isac asked.

"Our squad is here to do the voluntary work which you once mentioned to me, uncle!!!"

"Oh, you mean the battle training with the guards!"

"Yes sir! Our squad accepts your offer. We are willing to help your program which involves training your guards." Blu declared.

"Great! Sounds good to me! We should start right away!"

"But we want something in return sir," Blue added.

"What is it then?"

Blu nodded to Yela which signaled that she should say it.

"We want to investigate the 2 suspects of the rebellion Uncle!"
