We were outside the main entrance of the mansion. I had already asked what I wanted from Haiel and he… reluctantly accepted it.
But there was one person who couldn't accept it… no, it was not his brother.
"Who in their right mind would ask sothing like that?"
"Seriously who? I'm astonished by the fact that you actually asked sothing like that." Arthur said looking at like I was a psycho.
"You jealous." I said and he laughed at my sarcasm, a creepy unsettling one that had no aning.
"Jealous? Of You? Maybe I am, Maybe I'm not, why don't you guess?" He said as one of his eyes gave a crazy blink. It took a mont before Arthur cald down and said to himself, "Calm minds, calm waves."
Hearing the famous words coming out of him, I didn't think they were that famous at all, but they are to him. This words were spoken to him by his father at an early age and reminded him to not think with brawns but with his brains.
Unfortunately, the sa could not be said about the words creator, who so brazenly lost to his dick and fell on the bed… literally.
"You shouldn't have behaved like that." Arthur said rembering my stance. "They are our senior and lords, who must be respected and-"
"And we have to obey them like so dogs in leashes, right?" I interrupted him.
"No, it's not like that. We listen to them because their words are equivalent to the king- her majesty's words."
'Yep, that right there was hatred. Man, does he hate her.'
"But they are only viscounts, there words are no way 'equivalent', to her majesty."
"…Yes, I know but-"
"Besides I didn't bow to them for a reason."
"What's that?"
I looked at him with a mysterious face, "You really expect to tell you that?"
"Pretty please."
"Yeahhh... no."
He showed a downed face before getting back to his normal phase, "Do you think that the viscount is hiding sothing from us?"
"Why do you ask?" I look at him curiously.
"It just feels like they are, I don't know, but it kinda seems like the viscount might have known who had attacked us."
'Good, at least he's using his brain now. He does that in the original story too, but it was too late at that point.'
"He may know the guy."
"You think so too."
"Yeah, his bound to. He knows that it has to be one off the many enemies that he made since birth." I said with a little hint but the guy laughed.
"Haha, I know he has a lot of enemy, Henry. But I don't think it's one of his diaper pals."
'Alright I tried.'
"Who knows man... you know what, forget about it. Where are you going to go now?" I know but I wanted to check sothing.
"I am going to tour the countries with Elisabeth an-" Then a worried expression ca to him as he laughed awkwardly, "I forgot to tell you sothing."
"What?" I knew this was going to co, but I thought I had at least changed sothing.
"Well, last night after fighting side by side with Samantha, , Elisabeth and her beca friends and she offered us to go on a tour with her to her ho... so we kinda agreed." He said looking at with worry again, "You don't object to it, do you? If you want, I can cancel it."
I shook my head, "That ship has long sailed friend. If you want to have a go at her then go. I don't really want to talk about it… just a warning."
"If you see soone nad Alia in her camp, don't believe a word she says, alright."
"I will do so… and I'm not trying to have a 'go' at Samantha, it's just a friendly tour." He asked but I was already leaving. "But why should I avoid Alia?"
"Samantha will tell you."
Arthur looked at leaving him abruptly and thought that he might have angered Henry.
'Maybe I shouldn't have agreed to it before asking him. He seems a bit angry about the situation... and who is this Alia?'
I left Arthur to his thoughts as I road by myself.
'Even after changing my destiny sooo much… I still couldn't stop the story from advancing the sa way, huh.'
I had thought that after breaking my engagent and making up with Samantha, the tiline with her and Arthur joining wouldn't happen… but as they say, fate is a bitch.
I'm not worried or angry about the fact that Arthur would bang her or anything, because I didn't look at Samantha romantically, I looked at her as a friend and a ntor for a ti… but that was it.
Still… it stung a bit to think Samantha would fall for him so quickly, but alas, that is the inevitable charm of Arthur.
I stopped thinking about the matter much and proceeded to where my destination was.
Nijulai's Groceries.
It was a small grocery store that had a normal look to it with vegetables drawn outside. It was completely ordinary to anyone who glanced at it or even the many commoners that shopped in it almost daily.
But I know what it really is.
"Ring!" "Ring!"
The bell attached to the front door rang as I ca in. There was a counter in the front with a door behind it. The veggies and other dairies were at the corner of the store for the custors to pick up as they liked.
To them it was one of the stores they frequented and because of its low prices and being able to pick your own items, it was doing good.
At the current mont, there wasn't anyone inside the shop, not even the shopkeeper. I go to the desk and ring the bell a few tis.
"Ting" "Ting" "Ting"
It took a mont before the back door opened and a middle aged man with a forgettable face ca out, saying, "I'm coming, I'm coming-… oh, a new custor. How can I help you, sir?" He asked with a smile.
I put 5 shillings on the counter, "I want to go to a place where slaves run dormant."
