THE HONORABLE DARK KNIGHT

[CHAPTER 2] CHAPTER 15 - EASTERN SUBURB OF ABERDALE

3 Years later, Arthur is about to leave for the Phillsburgh Magic Academy after his father promises Arthur to enter the prestigious Magic Academy 3 years ago.

The day before departure, Arthur is busy preparing himself to go to the Phillburgh Academy of Magic from morning until night Arthur continues to train himself before, Finally night comes, Arthur and his family had dinner together at the Astheric residence.

After dinner, Arthur returned to his room to rest, then suddenly his two younger brothers Arthur, Kirisaki and Claudia, came to his brother Arthur's room and knocked on his door, "Bang Arthur, Arthur's brother, is brother inside?, are we allowed to talk for a while with brother? ". Kirisaki.

" Yes I'm inside just go in ". Answer Arthur.

Kirisaki and Claudia enter Arthur's room and talk to Arthur. " Sister is it true that tomorrow you will go to the Phillburgh Magic Academy?, why do you go to the Academy and not play with us?, is it your goal and dream?. Ask Claudia.

" hahhh..why do you ask that, of course it is true that tomorrow I will go to the Academy, the reason I left was to get stronger and stronger to protect you and also you should not be selfish like that, then if you ask going to the Academy is a goal or dream of big brother, the answer is He's goal is to be able to go to the Academy more clearly you will understand yourself if you have grown up later. If you want to meet with your brother, you must keep trying and fight to be strong to be able to meet your brother at the Phillsburgh Magic Academy, of course Big Brother will come back here if big brother fails and doesn't pass the test to get into the Academy ". Arthur replied firmly and seriously.

Claudia replied, "Then brother just failed his Academy entrance test and played with us... ", " No, stop it Claudia we can't make sister destroy the dream that you want to go to and have been waiting for. We have to be patient and right as our brother says we have to try more and we'll see brother later in the day ". Refute Kirisaki firmly.

" T. but. , well it's true that Kirisaki's brother said we should not be selfish and allow brother Arthur to achieve his dream ". Claudia replied sadly.

Then Arthur hugged them both and said you should not be sad or cry when you leave, as you promised brother, do you understand? ". Arthur said, giving a fake smile.

" Good brother, we understand ". Kirisaki and Claudia.

Then they came out of Arthur's room and went back to their own.

The next day the horse-drawn carriage that would deliver Arthur to the Academy had arrived at the Astheric residence. Arthur is ready to go to the Phillburgh Academy of Magic, and before Arthur leaves he says goodbye but only to his younger siblings.

The journey to the Phillburgh Academy of Magic passes through a beautiful landscape that passes through a meadow with a large mountain. After 8 hours drive from the city of Iceland, the territory of the Astheric family to the territory of the Louise family located in the east, Aberdale as well as the establishment of the Phillburgh Magic Academy, The Magic Academy is famous throughout the kingdom of Lasenburgh, Arthur finally reached the eastern region, the territory of the Louise family, Aberdale.

After arriving, Arthur immediately looked for a place to stay, because the Academy entrance exam will begin tomorrow morning. For young people who want to enter this Academy must come today, so that at the Academy entrance exam tomorrow no one is late, because if it is too late it will be immediately disqualified.

" Excuse me I'd like to stay here ". Said Arthur.

" Yes sir, to stay here the night is 3 bronze coins, that includes the meal ". Reply to the Madam of the inn owner.

Then suddenly there was a beautiful and graceful woman who had purple colored hair coming. Then the woman and Arthur said together, "I want to stay here one night only ". Arthur and the woman.

Then Arthur and the woman looked at each other and Arthur said, "Please Miss ". " It's okay to go first, sir, because you have arrived first ". Said the woman with her calm face.

" Alright thank you Miss, here's the money Madam 6 bronze coins. All at the cost of the Miss ". Said Arthur.

" You don't have to do this sir, let me just pay my room fee ". Answer the woman gently and calmly.

" You take it easy I don't have any intentions, I just feel bad I should be the guy who relented, not my intention to demean Miss ". Answer Arthur calmly.

Then Arthur went straight up to his room and wanted to rest immediately, not long after that the innkeeper's son came to Arthur's room and knocked on the door, "Mister it's time for dinner ". Said the innkeeper's son.

" Well I'll be down soon ". Answer Arthur.

Then Arthur opened the door to his room and looked at the lady, "It seems this woman is the same age as me ". Arthur said in his heart.

Arthur went downstairs and looked for a table to eat, but all the tables were full except for one, which was the table where the purple haired Miss was left one empty seat on her desk.

Then Arthur approached the woman and said, "Miss, can I sit down and join you for dinner? ". Ask Arthur.

The woman smiled slightly and said, "Please Sir, how can I forbid someone who paid my lodging fee just to sit at the same table as me ". Said the woman.

" All right, thank you Miss ". Answer Arthur.

Then Arthur sat down, and the woman asked, "What's your name Sir?, there's no need to use your full name or anything ".

" My name is Azazel Arthur Astheric ". Answer Arthur.

" Ooh so yes beautiful name Arthur, *The woman approached Arthur's face*, "my name is Shax Alice Lasenburgh, I beg you not to tell anyone my identity yes, because this is the first time I've shown myself in public ". Alice answered seriously.

" Of course you want to be the Queen even if I won't reveal one's identity that easily ". Answer Arthur calmly.

" I'm impressed with you, you're not surprised in the least by Arthur's identity. Alice said with a half smile.

" It should be me who says it to you Princess Alice, I'm amazed you're not surprised in the least by my identity that carries the Astheric name of a traitor family ". Arthur replied expressionlessly.

" Before I answer your question, Arthur you do not need to speak formally if you speak to me either behind the people or in front of many people, therefore should I befriend you Arthur?, Arthur?, so that we can talk casually anywhere and anytime. Alice said calmly.

" I would certainly not refuse to be associated with a person who had great influence in Alice's Lasenburgh kingdom ". Answer Arthur.

" Thank you Arthur because you want to be friends with me as my first friend.The reason I'm not surprised to hear the name Astheric is because for what I hate all descendants of the Astheric family. Just because of Azazel Kartz Astheric's fault for what I hate the entire Astheric family. I'm not like the fools in this country they hate the Astheric family without knowing the real thing. Even I told my father who was a king that what was the point of hating the Astheric family because the wrong person was no longer in this world why hated his descendants. So that's the reason why I'm not surprised to hear your name Arthur ". Alice said with a smile.

" So thank you for not hating me, but there are things I would like to ask you if you know the true events of the Astheric family's past? ". Ask Arthur.

" I'm sorry Arthur but this is a secret even though the one who asks is that you are of the Astheric family even though I can't tell you ". Alice answered seriously.

" Well then I won't force you ". Answer Arthur.

After dinner, Arthur and Alice eat together before they return to their rooms.
