THE HONORABLE DARK KNIGHT

CHAPTER 20 - A PRECIOUS SMILE

" Well now let's discuss the problem that had previously occurred at the Phillsburgh Academy of Magic. Arthur I want to ask you as someone who was directly involved with the criminal, do you know the real motive of the criminal?. " Said King Alfred seriously.

" I don't know what the motive and purpose of the criminal was to enter the Academy. But what the king must know, and lord Siegfried knows is that the man who was first targeted by the criminal was Louise Anastasia Lawrence. The second daughter of the Louise family. The moment the criminal was about to attack me immediately came and pushed Miss Anastasia, when I managed to replace Anastasia the criminal did not stop his attack and directly stabbed my body " said Arthur firmly.

" Is so... Well more or less I understand what you're saying Arthur, the rest let Mr. Siegfried and the other eyewitnesses explain, Arthur you can go back and rest because actually I also do not have the heart with your condition that has just recovered directly I call here. " Said King Alfred.

" Arthur you if you want to go back, just go back to my residence. " Siegfried.

" Thank you King because you have worried about my condition, but you calm me, my condition is now fine. Thank you for your offer Mr. Siegfried well if I'm going back I promise I will return to your residence, but right now I want to do something first so can't go right back. " Said Arthur.

" I see, fine just do what you want to do as you please, if there's a problem don't hesitate to tell me Arthur. " Siegfried said while giving a half smile.

" Oh well teacher, I say go first King Alfred, Mr. Siegfried " .Said Arthur.

Arthur left the discussion room.

*dap dap*

While in the corridor of the palace Arthur met and asked the waiter who was passing through the corridor.

" Excuse me, miss, do you know where princess Alice is?. " Said Arthur.

" Yes, Mr. Arthur, if you are looking for princess Alice he is in the main garden of this palace. " Say the waiter.

" I see, thank you, Miss. " Said Arthur.

" sa... Same with Mr. Arthur. Then excuse me first. " Say the waiter.

Then the servant left immediately, and Arthur went straight to the main garden of the palace by asking the other servants in this palace and guided by other servants to the main garden of the palace.

After arriving at the main garden of the palace finally Arthur met with Alice who was sitting casually in the park.

" Hello Alice, I'm sorry if I met you so suddenly without making an appointment. " Said Arthur.

The mood became quiet.

Alice did not respond to Arthur's words. But not long after that Alice said "Arthur, you better sit first, here next to me empty. " Say Alice quietly.

*dep*

" Thank you for giving me Alice's seat. Alice I want to ask you something. " Say Arthur as he looked at Alice's face with his bright red eyes.

" hahh, Arthur those fiery red eyes of yours remind me of someone.... There's no need to talk about it, so what do you want to ask Arthur?. " Answer Alice with a small smile.

" Mrs Charlotte the wife of Mr. Siegfried told me something. I asked Lady Charlotte 'Who healed me', She replied that the one who healed me was her and you were Alice. But when I was unconscious I only felt where yours was. " Take Arthur seriously.

Alice smiled widely and chuckled and answered Arthur, "Arthuuur you are... Of course you only feel my mana, because you previously only met and came into direct physical contact with me, whereas with Lady Charlotte alone I only met yesterday when she came to help me heal you. Moreover, you are fainting, because Madame Charlotte directly used healing magic on you of course you do not know which one belongs to her. You also just met him when you woke up from unconsciousness. "

When he heard Alice's reply, Arthur was embarrassed, and he laughed at his own question, "Be. I see, hahahaha you are right also why I asked such a stupid question. Hhhh, thank you Alice. Thank you for healing me. If one day you are stuck in a problem do not hesitate to tell your problem to me, whatever the conditions I will definitely come to save yourself like you saved me. " Say Arthur with a sincere smile.

Alice smiled and said, "Arthur this is the first time I've seen you smile, even the smile you gave me just now was a big and very sincere smile. Even you just do not give a smile to others, whether I am among the lucky people because I can see your smile directly hahaha. "

" Yes.... You are right Alice. You may be the lucky one to see my smile, but unfortunately you are not the first one to see my smile. "

" The last time I gave this smile was only to my mother, when my mother was still with me I just showed my smile to her not to my other family. But my mother began to change as I grew older She started to ignore me and eventually she left me and my family. "

" That's where I started to feel that the emotions inside me were slowly dissipating, when I really wanted to eliminate the emotions that were inside of me there came people who guided me and counseled me, one of them is my teacher. ". Arthur said with a smile that slowly faded away.

" Well it seems like it's time for me to come back, it doesn't feel like talking to you will take a long time ". Said Arthur.

" Back?, where did you go back?, are you going back to your family residence?. " Task Alice in confusion.

" Yahh... For a while my place of return was to the Louise family residence. Because Mr. Siegfried asked me to stay there for a while, and also I have promised myself not to return to the Astheric household until I have become stronger. " Answer Arthur.

" So it was Arthur. Why don't you.... No no, the decision to determine your life and your purpose is you. I wish you all the best, by the way do you know where the class you're going to be in Arthur?. " Said Alice.

" Yes. My class has been determined and has been informed by your father King Alfred, he said that I entered the *SPECIAL CLASS*. " Said Arthur.

" What!?, then that means we're one class huh, we're in the same class Arthur. " Alicia answered happily.

" I see.... We're in the same class, all right then I have to go first, see you Alice. " Said Arthur.

" Yes, be careful on your journey, Arthur. " Answer Alice.
