Chapter 115:
Arthur's Point of View
Town Guard's Old Barracks
"Hey, Arthur!" Typhon greeted as soon as I stepped outside.
"Sup." I ruffled his hair in response before looking at Greigh. "So, the prisoners were willing to work with after a slight accident."
It was true too. I thought for sure I'd be able to fix his jaw. Certainly, made thankful I didn't rip off his wings. Doubt I would've been able to get away with that.
"Lady Ayda inford us that there was an accident." Greigh replied as he crossed his arms. "Did you hit him?"
Putting my arms behind my back, I rely glanced at Ayda. "No comnt."
Ziah chid in next. "A possible concussion had to of happened sohow."
Pointing at her, I repeated myself. "No comnt."
Ayda then held up her hands. "Whatever may have happened, Sir Arthur admitted that he was wrong and did his best to rectify what happened." She stated before looking up at . "Right?"
Then I pointed to the Elf. "Right!"
Typhon chuckled at my shenanigans before Greigh rolled his eyes. "I suppose Lady Ayda is right. What's done is done. Did you learn anything?"
A smirk ca to my lips. "I have their full cooperation. Make sure none of the Nobles get any ideas about freeing them." I ordered Ziah before looking back to Greigh. "Make sure the Priestesses are aware that a Noble will be facing personally." I ordered Greigh.
"You're not going to kill another one, are you?" Greigh asked in a worried tone.
"Not this ti. As much as I would love to, I doubt I could get away with it this ti." I answered.
"I can't believe you got away with it last ti." Ziah mumbled.
Typhon looked as though he felt out. "If you two could take care of that, I heard Typhon has wanted to speak with ." Ayda fake coughed into her hand politely, and I rolled my eyes. "The Elf can join us."
Doing a fist pump of sorts, she summoned a notebook with her magic before smirking. "Excellent! We can discuss all manner of things!"
I stared at her for a mont before looking back at Ty. "I expect you to keep her under control." He looked at , confused as I continued. "Do you understand? That ans she's your responsibility."
"Excuse !?" Ayda asked in annoyance.
"And make sure she doesn't have any more outbursts like that." Then I started to leave as they quickly fell in with Ayda bitching at .
"Can we see your new house?!" Ty asked with a pleading look. "Everyone has told it is amazing!"
Greigh's Point of View
Town Guard's Old Barracks
"So, what do you think happened in there, Captain?" Ziah inquired.
Looking to the door, I shrugged. "Who can say? I wasn't in there with him, so whatever it was isn't my problem."
My Sergeant was quiet for a mont before she asked another question. "Do you think he tortured them?"
I sighed and walked off to head up the mountain before reply. "Probably."
Arthur's Point of View
The Pendragon Estate
"So, I heard you wanted to talk to ." I said as I looked down at Typhon, who was looking around with his head on a swivel.
"Well, I wanted to see how you were doing." He said innocently as he looked at . "After you got back, you seed to be really busy, and I stopped myself from imposing." Fiddling with his fingers, he continued. "I thought you needed ti to adjust to everything."
Turning my gaze to Ayda, who was watching, I pointed at Typhon. "You need to learn from this child, fast." The Elf gave a withering look. "Just saying. Common decency and common sense seem to be two things you're lacking in."
Ayda frowned before crossing her arms. "I have both! Thank you very much!"
"You're welco. I'm always here to offer advice to those in need." Was my dull response as Ayda went over and hugged Typhon.
"I will have you know that I have played a large part in raising Typhon! He learned those things from !" Ayda declared.
"Did you throw them out the window when you got older?" I asked genuinely.
Typhon chuckled at that, and his stomach growled. "Sorry." He said quietly.
Chuckling myself, I motioned for them to follow . "Let's grab sothing to eat. Sandwiches sound good to you two?"
They nodded, and we talked about nothing important, which was nice. It reminded a little of Augustus when we would just sit down and shoot the breeze. We ate a little bit at a ti, and both seed to greatly enjoy the toasted subs I made. Not really too hard to recreate sothing along those lines.
Since I was the last one to eat, I watched the two wander around the downstairs. "How big is this place?" The Dragon child asked in wonder.
I shrugged as I stood out in the entryway. "I've no idea. Way too big. I only use like, four rooms. Five if you include the entryway."
Ayda stopped and poked her head out of one of the rooms to look at in shock. "You have an estate this size and only use the bare minimum?"
"I wanted a regular house with a few rooms, bathroom, and kitchen. This is just overkill."
"You might be the first man I have ever t to complain about such a show of status." Ayda comnted.
"Maybe Arthur does not want people to see this as his status?" Typhon replied from another room. "Perhaps he would rather be seen for his deeds instead of known for his property and personal items." Then we heard him snort. "He clearly has no decorum." Eventually, he realized we weren't responding and ca out to see us looking at him in surprise. "What?"
Glancing to Ayda, I spoke in a hushed tone. "Did you teach him that?"
She shook her head. "Not ." The Elf replied.
"I thought not. Seed too deep to co from you." Ayda whipped her head towards with a glare directed at . "Well, you're partly right, Ty." I told him.
Ty laughed bashfully at my words. "At least I can say I was partially correct." Then he walked over to us and looked around. "This is incredible, Arthur. You deserve this."
I frowned at that, but before I could reply, there was a knock at the door. "Co in." Low and behold, it was my favorite officer. "Greigh!" My tone was cheerful. "Good news, I hope?"
He ca inside only to move out of the way. "That depends on if you wanted to see ." Elincia answered for him as she entered my not so humble abode.
"Will I be punished if I answer that truthfully?" Elincia just wrinkled her nose and shook her head playfully with a smirk. "Well, it would seem duty calls." I told the Elf and Dragon. "Maybe we'll do this again soon."
"I hope so! It is always good to talk to you!" Ty answered honestly.
He left while giving a small bow and wave to the priestess. Ayda started to follow after him, but as she walked by , she snatched my sandwich from my hand and ran out the door. My eye twitched as I watched her take a few bites before the door closed.
"That bitch..." I said in a low tone with narrowed eyes.
