Chapter 131: Chapter 131
Arthur's Point of View
Over the Middle Ocean
Lucia gave an exasperated sigh you wouldn't think she had in her. Ziah, Typhon, and Austin all watched from the sidelines. It was annoying that they had to see this, but Alwin was a poor replacement for Aydan, and he was really starting to piss me off.
"We are going to move forward and pretend that you two like each other." Lucia stated as she looked between us.
"We are?" My question was met with a glare from the young pink-haired Mara look alike.
"Yes! We are!" She stated more firmly before looking at Alwin. "Or am I wrong?"
Alwin gave a respectful bow. "No, my Lady."
Then she turned to me with an expectant look on her face, and I shrugged. "Hey, I'm just trying to teach you. If that's too much, feel free to go about your day."
Lucia groaned before rubbing her temples in irritation. "You might just be the most stubborn man I ever met." The chapters is up by N0vEI__bin
"Thank you." Looking to Austin, I smirked. "You hear that, Austin!?" The red-haired boy looked at me. "She says I'm the most stubborn man she ever met!"
Austin gave me two thumbs up. "Ah told ya!" Was his smartass response.
His frown deepened. "Ah don't need ta act my age. They're countin on me."
"Yes. They are." Squeezing his shoulders softly got him to look up at me. "But there are different ways to count on someone. You probably wouldn't believe it, but this is probably all for your sake. Both still trust you and count on you. This was just something they felt like they needed to do. For you."
He nodded slowly. "Okay."
Patting his chest with the back of my hand a few times, I smirked. "And push comes to shove; when you get older, you can always ask your sister to train you. After all, who better to teach you than someone who is getting special training from the Priestesses themselves."
Austin chuckled softly at that. "Can ya imagine how the person who taught them must've felt?" He asked in a cheerful and amused tone, but I didn't reply as my face quickly turned emotionless. "They must've been somethin special."
Not replying to his question, I patted his chest and gestured to Typhon. "If you want, Typhon could probably use a few ideas." The redhead quickly stepped to the side as Lucia stepped beside me. "Still here?" I inquired.
"Still here." The High Elf quickly confirmed.
"Where'd your boy toy go?"
"He is not-" Lucia stopped herself and looked up at me. "Alwin decided to get an update from the Captain."
Quirking a brow at her, I crossed my arms, amused. "Did you really send him away? Cause if you did, that's hila-" I stopped suddenly and felt my body tense as a familiar sensation filled my senses.
Lucia and Ziah both realize something was wrong. "Sir Arthur? Are you okay?" The High Elf inquired.
Turning to Ziah, I spoke in a firm tone. "Sergeant, inform the Captain we're about to have guests." My eyes then tried to focus on where the vile aura was coming from, and I saw specks of red and black off the side. "Better yet, sound the alarm."
I didn't know who was coming or how powerful they were, but I wasn't taking the chance. Demons were closing in. The question was if there was anyone troublesome apart of this group.
