THE HONORABLE DARK KNIGHT

CHAPTER 34 - A MOTHER'S WORRIES

Arthur and Alice walked to a quiet place so they could talk freely.

After a long walk they approached a quiet park no one, then they sat on the bench of the park, and finally Arthur spoke.

" Alice I want to ask you something, did before we both knew each other we'd met and met each other?. " Ask Arthur.

" Well, I thought it was just me who felt that way, I wanted to ask you the same thing before but I never found the right time to ask you. " Said Alice.

" So yeah, we both felt like we knew each other before we even met and knew like this. " Said Arthur.

" Then Alice I want to ask you one more thing, I know I've asked you before about what really happened to my family but you said it was a secret, a secret, I don't know if this one question belongs to the secret either or not. " Said Arthur.

" Yes you are right, but what question do you want to ask, I will answer it if I can answer it. " Said Alice.

" Then Alice, do you know my mother?. " Ask Arthur.

" Hahaha, Arthur why are you asking like that? shouldn't you know your own mother better?. " Say Alice in amazement.

" I didn't know her very well, even though she was my own mother, but I only knew her as a child for a short time, I asked like this because you are a member of the royal family I think the royal family knows something that I do not know. " Say Arthur without flinching.

" I'm surprised you're not sad or expressionless. The problem you are discussing is your own family even though I do not know whether your mother is among the people who are valuable to you or not. Well Arthur I'll be honest with you. " Said Alice.

" What really happened to my mother Alice?. " Ask Arthur.

" I knew your mother Arthur, actually before we met I already knew about you, your mother always told me about you, your mother was the nicest woman I've ever met. I don't know if it's because our mothers know each other or not, but I admit your mother is a good person. " Said Alice.

" If my mom used to tell you about myself why she always stayed away from me?, do you know about it Alice?. " Ask Arthur.

" He said something about it to me. She said, 'Alice I don't know what to do with Arthur, I know he must have been hurt so much because I stayed away from him, but I really have no intention of hurting her heart I do not want to be like her father who hurt her, maybe soon I will go to atone for my sin against my son Arthur. Alice at that moment did you want to accompany Arthur when I wasn't around? '. I said yes of course Aunt Luciana. After that incident your mother never once visited me again, and when I found out they told me that Azazel Luciana Veleric had left the Astheric household. That's all I know about Arthur. " Say Anastasia said sadly.

" I see Alice, sorry for forcing yourself to tell me everything about my mother to make yourself sad like that, what do you think my mother looks like in your eyes? sorry if I have to ask again. " Said Arthur.

" It's okay Arthur you have the right and need to know about your mother. Then according to me your mother is like my family and I also consider herself as one of the most valuable people to me. " Say Alice firmly.

Arthur suddenly smiled and said, "So yes, thank you Alice I'm happy if you think that my mother is a precious person to you. " Say Arthur, giving a warm smile to Alice.

Alice also smiled broadly and said, "Together Arthur. Arthur I want to ask, do you hate your mother or not?. "

" Even before you tell me the truth I hate my own mother but I don't really hate her like I hate my father, the reason is because even though my mother once loved me. But after knowing the truth I could not hate my mother at all, I wanted to meet her and apologized to her for ever having hatred for her. " Said Arthur.

...----------------...

" I see, I just found out about Arthur's mother, Anastasia did you know that?. " Ask Ellen.

" I did know about the Astheric family but I didn't know much about Arthur's mother because my father and mother almost never told me about Miss Luciana. " Say Anastasia.

" I don't know Arthur's relationship with that woman is so close, who exactly is that woman? Do you know Anastasia?. " Ask Ellen.

" Yes of course I know her she is Miss Shax Alice Lasenburgh, one of the daughters of the royal king of Lasenburgh. " Say Anastasia.

" A.. did I just find out, do you know and are close to Alice's daughter Anastasia?. " Ask Ellen.

" No, I only spoke to him once when I went with my father to the kingdom about the tragedy that had previously happened at the Phillburgh Magic Academy. " Say Anastasia.

" Ooh so yeah. " Said Ellen.

...----------------...

......(..Alice and Arthur's point of view)......

" Arthur am I allowed to stop this conversation for a moment?, there seems to be a bully who from eavesdropping I should have realized from the beginning. " Say Anastasia.

" No, it looks like we should end this conversation here Alice. Thank you for telling me something I didn't know before. " Arthur's Sahut.

" All right, then. HEYY!! Are you satisfied to hear our conversation. " She cried Alice.

" It's no use hiding, you better show yourself, I know there are two people. " Summit Alice.

" Samazia, Ellen. What do you guys want? why are you following us?. " Ask Arthur.

" I see you are Arthur's acquaintance, you should not understand that eavesdropping on someone's conversation is a crime. Miss Louise Anastasia Lawrence, Miss Wistaria Ellen Vispose. I don't understand aren't the two of you a princess of the great nobility? Why can't you respect the privacy of the other great noble families?. " Speak Alice while pressing Ellen and Anastasia.

" No, we didn't mean to interrupt Alice's daughter's conversation with Arthur. I'm really sorry we were just wondering what the two of you would do by walking together towards a quiet place. " Say Anastasia said with trembling.

" Alice, I'm sorry I had to go first I've got them both on you huh. " Said Arthur.

" You take it easy, get your business done well, Arthur. " Reply Alice.

Then Arthur left quickly.

" Well this way we should be able to continue our conversation, and you won't have to think about your mistakes with Arthur either. You can take care of your problems with Arthur later now we have to solve the problems you guys made first with me. " Say Alice while grinning.
