"Sir, with all due respect....WHY WOULD YOU ALLOW THOSE GUILDS TO PARTICIPATE?!" Arcadios shouts at the former king, knowing it was his idea and not Hisui's.
Toma simply holds up his hand in response, asking for silence "I understand your concerns, but considering how last the couple Grand Magic Games have been, people have stopped coming. We need as much excitement as we can get this year to get the Grand Magic Games going again. Besides, I'm not worried about those guilds too much. If they were to get out of hand, they wouldn't last long at all. We have the best mages in all of Fiore right there to put a stop to them,"
Arcadios just looked at the former king in surprise yet understanding. It's sometimes easy to forget that while the former king can be fun and friendly, that he indeed was a king and knew how to rule a kingdom. The Grand Magic Games is free to get into, but it's also a big part of Fiore's life. It's something that the people can look forward to every year, and it brings up their spirits again. Without the Grand Magic Games, the people would have nothing to look forward to. If keeping the Grand Magic Games going means that they have to allow dark guilds to participate then so be it...
"I understand sir," Arcadios said, "But what does Queen Hisui have to say about it?"
The former king grimaced at that, "She didn't like it at first and wasn't going to allow it, but she begun to understand and gave the ok. The most she's worried about is what Fairy Tail's feeling,"
"And did you found out?" Arcadios asked curiously.
The Toma nodded, "I spoke to Master Makarov about it. He immediately responded saying that he would ask his grandson and Gajeel about it. I was told that Laxus said it would be a fun challenge and Gajeel said that it would just give him a reason to beat his former guild to the ground, and that he was ok with it. He didn't know how Juvia, that water mage, would take it though; he assumed that as long as Gray Fullbuster were there that she'd be ok,"
"I only have on last question," Arcadios said, to which the king raised his eyebrow, "How did you get this past the council?"
At this the former king just bellowed out in laughter, "Simple, if either of the guilds do something against the rules or cause severe crimes. They get to throw them in prison. It seems as if the two guilds joining was almost a win-win situation for us. As long as we have Fairy Tail on our side, we'll be just fine,"
