Chapter 329:
Arthur's Point of View
Over the Middle Ocean
"I think I understand you a little better, Arthur. This has been a most fortuitous night." She then leaned on my shoulder, which surprised , but I thought nothing of it. "As for your request, I will help Typhon. I will also help you with anything you might need in regards to his training or care."
With a nod, I replied. "Thanks."
It wasn't until Allen shouted and we heard the sailors getting more uppity that we turned to them. I gestured to the group at the fire, and Elincia rolled her eyes before heading over. Following, I eyed the High Elf for a mont, wondering why she seed a little annoyed. Eventually, I assud she was tired and stepped next to the group.
"Sir Arthur, a question if you will!?" Allen inquired.
Many seed to grow quiet at that while a few snickered. "By all ans."
"Many of us have been sharing so stories." The Captain of the White Revenge chuckled. "We have been discussing lovers of past and present. Many here, including myself, think you might have a story or two to share. Surely, given your status and heroic deeds, you must have so more recent additions to your number of conquerors."
"The only thing that fucks now is life." I answered. "Bitch is about as rough as they get."
Everyone went silent at that. "Ah..." Allen let out. "Apologies, Sir. We didn't an to upset you."
I shrugged. "You didn't. I was rely stating a fact. My ti for lovers is nonexistent. When would I have ti to get close to soone in such a sense?" No one answered. "Maybe it was when my arm was cut off? Perhaps before I fought the Leviathan?" Crossing my arms, I looked across the group. "No, that's right. I was dealing with other shit."
"Arthur." Elincia chastised.
"What?" I asked her back evenly. "I'm not upset. Just stating the fact that I literally have almost zero ti to myself. That, and I wasn't exactly expecting this question." Then I pointed at Allen. "Also, I don't kiss and tell."
"Surely the great Arthur Pendragon has a past fla that must be worth ntioning?" Ventari pressed with an even stare.
It was obvious she wanted so manner of information on . "Past flas..." I said slowly. "Past failures." Sitting down in front of the fire, I looked into it. "They died. One was murdered and the other..."
Everyone around the fire went silent at that, and even Ventari turned away from . "I shouldn't have pried." The Dwarven Queen said apologetically.
I shrugged. "I'm sure Elincia and Arceana have had similar situations themselves."
Ventari turned away from and to the fire. "I cannot imagine what it must be like to lose soone like that. My husband and son an the world to ."
"I've heard rumors that the Dwarven King was infatuated with you when you were both young." Allen quickly brought up, trying to steer the conversation away from .
"We were friends. He would sneak out of the palace often, and on one of his outings, I beat him up, not knowing who he was. A young prince who bawled because he lost to a girl a little younger than him." I quirked a brow at that. "Then again, I did hit him in the head with a wooden plank, so it might've been that."
"I'm surprised you weren't killed or executed." I comnted before gesturing to Elincia. "Had soone likely tried to do that to Lucia when she was younger or Typhon, I imagine it wouldn't've been a pretty sight."
"Why do you keep trying to make sound like a terrible person?" Elincia questioned in a fake offended tone.
"Don't you have children fighting rings or sothing?"
The Priestess looked aghast at that. "Of course not! What in the world are you talking about!?"
I shrugged. "Heard you had your students fighting each other from a young age."
Rolling her eyes, she replied. "Training cannot be surmised or counted as children fighting rings." Then she gestured to dismissively. "Ignore him. Tell more about what happened between you and the king while you were young."
Ventari snorted. "Well, I was brought to the palace and before the previous King and Queen. His mother was amused while his father looked more annoyed than anything." A soft smile ca to her lips. "I still had the sa wooden plank in hand since it was the offending weapon. Since I was in trouble and knew I was in trouble, when they presented the prince, I hit him again."
