THE HONORABLE DARK KNIGHT

CHAPTER 60 - SAYING GOODBYE

After a long journey, Luna finally arrived at her mansion. He descended his chariot and quickly rushed towards his mansion to find out whether Arthur returned to his mansion or not.

While opening the main door of her mansion, Luna was greeted by her servant.

" Welcome Miss, is there something I should prepare for you?. " Ask the waiter.

" Not for now I have nothing to do. Did you see Arthur back in the mansion? Or have you not seen him at all since we last left together?. " Task Luna to her servants.

" No Miss Luna, we have not seen Mr. Arthur at all. Last time we saw him was when Mr. Arthur left with Miss Luna. " Say the servants.

" Is so... Well thank you guys for telling me, then you guys just rest, I also want to rest first. " Said Luna.

" Well Miss Luna, thank you for your attention. Have a good rest, Miss. " Say the servants.

" Yes are both. " Answer Luna.

...Back to Arthur's Point of View...

Arthur was sitting on a bench in a park near the Phillsburgh Magic Academy.

" It's only a few more days before the war against the Demon King is about to begin, I have to think about how to return the rest of my life with this Dark Repulser sword I hold. Whether I should use this sword now or better I use this sword as my US card in the war later. "

" I don't know, but it's better if I use this Dark Repulser sword later. Alright then I should keep this sword well first before I use it later. " Murmurm Arthur.

Arthur sat pensively on the bench of this park until it did not feel the sky had shown the time it was late afternoon.

Anastasia and Ellen returned home walking together after classes at the Phillsburgh Magic Academy had finished for the day. They both saw Arthur sitting pensively on the park bench.

" Wait Ellen, isn't that sitting pensive that Arthur?Why is he so pensive? And also why was he almost a month away from attending and not leaving for the Academy?. I haven't even seen her lately. " Say Anastasia.

" Would we approach her Anastasia? Or is it better to pretend not to know?. " Ask Ellen.

" We'd better get close to her secretly, Ellen. " Anastasia answered.

Then Anastasia and Ellen headed for the garden and approached Arthur secretly. But everything they did was in vain, as Arthur could sense the aura of an awkward presence around him.

" What are you guys doing here? Do you need anything from me?. " Ask Arthur without looking back.

" So you feel our presence? It seems futile if we hide quietly when approaching you. " Say Anastasia.

Then Anastasia and Ellen approached Arthur and sat down on the bench near Arthur.

" Why don't you answer my question? What do you want from me, and what are you doing here?. " Tell Arthur calmly.

" I'm sorry Arthur we didn't come quietly to you, we didn't want anything from you, but we just wanted to ask you something. " Answer Ellen.

" What do you want to ask me Ellen, Anastasia?. " Ask Arthur.

" Why have you been absent for almost a month and not left for Arthur Academy?. " Tanya Anastasia.

" Aren't the Head of the Academy supposed to have already given word about me not being able to attend the Academy?. " Answer Arthur.

" I don't know if I can't answer that, but you definitely have to take good care of yourself. I say this not without reason and you should also know what I mean. " Answer Arthur.

" Why don't you visit us again Arthur?, didn't you promise to help Lucas train and come back if there was time?. " Task Anastasia seriously.

" Listen Anastasia, I'm canceling that promise now and if I could just say that to Lucas, I don't have much time left for now that war is in sight. " Any Arthur replied seriously.

" Why are you like this Arthur, aren't you the one who keeps your word? And why do you feel so responsible for the coming war? Wasn't that the duty of the higher-ups of the Kingdom of Lasenburgh?. " Tanya Anastasia.

Arthur's emotions began to overflow, he bit his lips to hold back his emotions so as not to let go. Ellen who saw Arthur's expression that looked angry at Anastasia's words tried to stop Anastasia's speech.

" Anastasia is enough! Stop all your words!. Why do you only think about yourself, you should also think about Arthur's current feelings... Do you think Arthur wants all these conditions? . " Said Ellen angrily.

" That... But why should he feel responsible for this war?. " Tanya Anastasia.

" Stop that Anastasia. It's all my business, you don't need to know what the reason is for me to do all that. " Said Arthur calmly.

" It's my turn to ask.... Has Alice been found and returned to Lasenburgh?. " Task Arthur seriously and have a sharp look.

" Daughter Alice has not been found and has not returned to this Kingdom of Lasenburgh Arthur, are you worried about her?. " Answer and ask Ellen with a sad expression.

" Is so... Maybe I can say I was a little worried, because even though he was not known by many people because when he was a child he was never involved with the social world, it was also caused by his own family because when he was a child Alice was known as a weak child, and even those who had met her dared to call herself a proud and arrogant child just because of her beauty. "

" I have one request of you. " Said Arthur.

" What kind of request did you ask for that Arthur? . " Ask Ellen.

" If Alice is back and found, as her friend, I want you to protect her so that this doesn't happen again, I can only ask this of you because you are the one whom he considers to be his best friend. "

" And one more thing, if he's back I beg you to say my regards to him, 'Goodbye Alice, may one day we meet again '. That's all the message I want you to give him when he comes back. " Said Arthur seriously and solemnly.

" Arthur! What exactly do you mean by that? Why are you saying goodbye?. Where are you going.... Or don't tell me you don't have the rest of your life anymore?!. " Task Ellen with her sad and angry face.

" I'm sorry Ellen, Anastasia. You will be able to find the answer later. All right then I have to go now Ellen, Anastasia. Goodbye, you two must take good care of yourself in this Kingdom of Lasenburgh. " Said Arthur.

Arthur stood up from a chair in the park and walked right away leaving Ellen and Anastasia alone.

" Arthur wait... Why did you just leave us alone?! . " Tanya Anastasia.

Arthur paid no heed to Anastasia's words and did not look back one bit.

" Anastasia... Did you hear what Arthur said before? Why would he say such a horrible thing?. " Task Ellen with her gloomy face.

" i... I don't understand Ellen either. Why does he say it calmly, as if his departure is certain and absolute and he will never again appear before us. " Anastasia replied with a sad face.

" Alright it seems like we should also hurry to get back Anastasia, soon the sun will set. " Said Ellen.

" Oh well Ellen, let's go home soon. " Aastasia Sahut.
