Garden was still silent there, in front of a confession of feelings that Adam called love. Her brain was trying to digest, not because she was so happy, but because the words invited a tightness that was nowhere to be found. Meanwhile, Arthur continued to stare at her with a serious gaze that made it even harder for her to control her breathing. Garden was not ready to hear it."Arthur, are you serious?""Have you ever seen me play?" the girl swallowed her saliva again, this situation was even more stressful than the time when Arthur was furious when he found out he was leaving Black Hall. He didn't know what to say back. If she said 'no', it would surely disappoint Arthur and if she said 'yes', she wasn't ready to lie about something as big as love. Isn't it cruel to give false hope to people who have clearly expressed their love for us?Garden took a few steps back until he was cornered on the balcony railing, he turned around and looked at the spacious expanse of the Black Hall cou
The girl repacked the alcohol bandage she had used to treat the master's wound. Not deep, just a scratch. But still, a wound was better treated than left untreated."Aren't you hungry, sir?" she asked before leaving. Arthur didn't budge, his face staring flatly and intently at the floor in front of him, while Garden tensed up when Arthur turned his sharp gaze towards him."I'll eat if I'm hungry" he said coldly and then turned his gaze elsewhere. Garden nodded her understanding and stood up, walking away but her arm was restrained.A few seconds passed, and there was no sound to explain his actions. But when Garden wanted to open her voice to ask a question, the arm that had been restrained was pulled away, the same person hugging the girl's waist, seeking warmth between her tiny waist.While Garden froze, not knowing what to do."Garden, let's start realizing your promise...," he said but Garden did not understand."What do you mean, sir?""I want you to sleep here" Arthur said makin
Arthur woke up with a start. Shocked, his chest tightened as he realized that he had just been visited by the same dream, a nightmare that never ended. It just revolved around the same places and scenes, Arthur would have been inflamed by the end of it.The separation, the loss, the tears, it was all complete as the main setting of his dream. Arthur immediately turned his face to look at the girl who was still sleeping on his bed, he closed his eyes-- breathing a sigh of relief. She was still there, where Arthur wanted her to be.He leaned closer, rubbed the top of her head and kissed her gently, "don't be my next nightmare, darling" he murmured softly, trying to speak without disturbing his beloved girl's sleep.After that he stood up from his seat, glancing at the sky from the ventilation gap. It was morning, it was sunny today, but there would be clouds of sadness that he created.", calm down my dear, this is the last time. After this, we will go far away. The paradise that only h

In the meeting room everyone had gathered, waiting only for Arthur and Elias to join them. The round table in front of them presented a paper with a detailed description of the place, they sat in a circle."Okay, I'll get started" Elias put down his wine cup, pulling the paper closer to him.", our final revenge mission is about to begin. You must know that our target is already superior to when he betrayed us, right?""Yes..., that bastard who licked the people's rights is now a mayor. I can't wait to drink his blood!" Lloyd seemed to be the most excited tonight. The words that came out of his mouth carried all the grudges and hatred, about the big traitor in Clan X he used to belong to."Calm down bro... Arthur bro who has more grudges with him can still be calm" Calix said while glancing at Arthur who was sitting not far from him. The man who was glanced at stared back, as usual---sharp---but refocused on the map in front of him.What Calix said was not nonsense, Arthur did have th
"You scared?" asked Lloyd with a dismissive look, to which Elias replied with a haughty laugh."No, I'm not. I'm just warning you that we're the bad guys. The government has been targeting us for a long time, and plus taking out the leader of the Korean capital, isn't this a very serious thing?""We wouldn't be bad if they weren't. You remember, we were never given justice a long time ago, so why care about their laws? If the government can't give us justice until many lives are lost, then we can make our own justice" Elias with the aura of a strong leader, patted Elias' shoulder lightly while saying this. For him this was true, since there had never been equal justice. No matter how hard the government tried to make it happen, there were still those who were weak who were sacrificed for the welfare of those who were more.That's what happened to Routa, the homeland of the GREY FAMILY bigwigs. It used to be a source of laughter and a home for every family, but since the economic crisi
"What is it, sir? Do you need anything?" Instead of answering Eve's question, Arthur moved forward to get closer. He unwrapped the white pajama towel impatiently, revealing his small body with six-pack muscles on his stomach. The girl thought something bad was going to happen, especially if he took off the long black pants.She ran her clean fingers through her wet hair. Arthur climbed onto the bed, the girl grumbled-- she wanted to get off the bed, but he pulled her back closer first."Sir?" she called half frantically, but Arthur didn't respond. The man's eyes were still staring intently at her, frightening her. Arthur looked like someone who was possessed by a demon spirit like the one he saw in the horror movie Ellania gave him."Arthur...!""ssshhh..." he hissed softly followed by a furrowed brow, asking the girl to be quiet by putting his index finger to his lips. Those cold eyes that she was desperately trying to avoid were now freezing her--for the umpteenth time. She was tran
This was something Einer had experienced many times before, when he was still in his golden age of being the number one entertainer in Dioxatine. People looked at him with a mesmerized look, talking about him from mouth to mouth. Einer felt uncomfortable, but he continued on his way until it stopped when he almost bumped into the Baron coming from the direction of the stairs. "Good evening, sir," greeted the man, "like the night before, should I alarm you?" Einer rotated his eyes in the other direction, understanding what the Baron meant. It was none other than his return after being out for most of the day. "It's quite unfortunate that the lady had time to come home to invite you to have lunch together." Einer spontaneously looked at the Baron, the look in his eyes seemed to say; really? But it was too late, Einer made Chelsea wait and ended up biting her fingers because Einer didn't come home at all after his departure since morning. Well, Einer doesn't feel guilty eith
