Chapter 21: Speech
"I would be happy to," Edric said, smiling.
'If he goes to that school, he'll be out of the board's hands,' Edric thought, having a good idea what they were up to. 'He'll also grow fast there and make connections with other families.'
'He might even find himself a wife there,' Edric thought with a faint smile, memories of his own school days resurfacing.
"There's about an hour left before I have to ready myself for the speech," Logan said, pulling Edric out of his thoughts.
"Do you want to help me with some physical training?" Logan asked.
"Yes, of course," Edric said, a broad smile on his face.
Two hours passed by. Logan stood somewhat nervous behind two massive wooden doors with beautiful carvings etched into them.
Right behind him stood Edric and Silas, both fully alert and extremely serious.
'I wonder what my old classmates will think when they see me on their televisions,' Logan thought, remembering his past. 'I hope it keeps them up at night until I pay them a visit.'
Concentrating, he went over the speech one more time.
'It's time to do this,' Logan thought, his jaw tightening.
