Arthur steadily moved through the darkness of the night. He looked calm but inside his thoughts were all disarray.
Today was the day when the meeting of honor was held in Valint and it went in a surprising way. At first when Gekko's father started talking, he was all about wanting justice and Arthur's head on a pike but later when he saw that his son was the main problem, the guy suddenly backed down.
After that, he didn't seem to ask or actually demand anything from Arthur. All he spoke of was his son's body and the place where the tragedy had occurred.
Arthur's face couldn't help but frown at the thought.
It went way too… smoothly.
Arthur wasn't just being a skeptical person. His life had its ups and downs and it had more downs then he could count. His father falling for that witch's trickery, his mother's Illness becoming more problematic and him having to participate in a brawl almost every day without any real reason.
But life certainly had some ups for him.
