When Ed arrived at the ruins of the Royal Palace with over thirty Sun Warriors, a bizarre scene immediately caught everyone's eyes:
A mysterious figure draped in a pure white bear-skin cloak stood silently beside the Shattered Star, engaged in a standoff with another Giant Warrior clad in a reinforced, heavy Sun Armor, appearing more imposing and sturdy.
From a distance, the atmosphere between the two seemed tense and full of hostility.
But upon closer inspection, one could see that neither side moved, like two oblivious, unmoving rocks on the shore.
Eleanor was sleeping soundly by the door of the Shattered Star, while Lucia was circling around the cloaked figure, occasionally hammering her fist on the joints of the person's prosthetic.
The petite girl was trying to climb onto the figure's shoulders, tugging at their cloak...
The only thing missing from the scene was the presence of Lord Lin Lan.
