After some time, the trio walked out of the throne room with laughter and smiles which surprised August who was standing guard outside like a loyal dog.
'Is his Majesty really laughing!' He thought with shock and awe.
August, the secret child of his majesty, Zeref, the emperor of Alavarez empire and the dark wizard who is immortal was laughing along with two seemingly young people.
'Am I dreaming!' August thought as he bowed on one knee.
"Get up, August," Zeref ordered and August stood up with a humble attitude, Meanwhile Jack and Jean stood quietly beside them.
"These two people are the esteemed guests of Alvarez from now on and must not be stopped in any case," Zeref eyed Brandish who was quietly kneeling to the aide before he looked back at August,
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
August who received the new orders looked at Jack with a new light, someone that can be recognized by the Emperor himself must be someone powerful.
'Dragon king of Domination, are you even stronger than Acnologia?' thought August.
Jack felt August's gaze and smiled at him, August shook his head, no matter who the other person is, once the emperor has said it.
He must remain respectful to the other person,
"Escort the guests back to Fiore, Capital City and have someone repair the castle," Zeref ordered before he addressed Jack.
Zeref was immensely thankful to Jack and wanted nothing more than to run off to Mavis and help her as well, so he decided to send the two people back to Fiore as fast as possible.
'FIORE! These two are from Fiore, so there are still some hidden dragons among those people that we don't know of,' August thought inwardly as he once again looked at Jack.
August was a powerful wizard himself, the strongest beside Zeref in Alvarez, opening up a portal to Fiore wasn't above him.
With a simple gesture, a portal was opened up by August.
Jack and Jean who were preparing to teleport were about to step through when Jack turned around and tossed a key at Zeref who looked at the old worn out key curiously.
"Put it in any door and you will be teleported to my place, in case you need to go someplace safe," Jack waved as he stepped through followed by Jean.
Zeref also waved back with a smile, August was still confused about the whole event of how an enemy that destroyed their whole palace was being regarded as a friend.
Not to mention, the people were from that place,
"Your majesty-"
"I know you have many questions, you only need to remember one simple thing,"
"Never make that guy angry," Zeref advised seriously.
He then looked at the destroyed palace and his spriggan twelve members.
"He did quite a number of you, Irene," Zeref teased.
"Hmph! I won't lose the second time,"
"Haha! No need for that, perhaps I might have found a solution for that problem of yours," Zeref teased as he disappeared through the door leaving behind a bruised Irene who was shocked.
———-
Jack and Jean stepped through the portal,
"That was nice of them, to send us off," Jean mentioned as she jumped onto her bed, they had come back to the hotel the team was staying in, the place was empty and Jack had a guess why.
He remembered that the knights of the empire had captured Lucy and another girl, both were celestial mages.
So the team was probably upto something and were discussing among themselves,
"Yeah, Zeref is a nice guy who was dealt a bad hand in life," Jack commented.
"That girl Brandish was also a good person, but she is a little too stubborn, but that woman Irene was just an idiot," Jean suddenly said angrily to which Jack chuckled.
"Come on! She has been living a dull life, so it's obvious she will grow grumpy over time," Jack soothed Jean.
The both of them fell asleep soon after.
Jack planned on going to the original place of Fairy tail and helping Mavis with her real body so that he can close the chapter of mavis and Zeref, maybe help Natsu with the dragon and END seed within him as well to earn extra points.
"Sigh! Sleep for now Jack, you have a big day ahead of you," Jack said to himself as he drifted into dreamland.
