Arthur's Current Situation

The next day, after school.

Today, of all days, I wasn't going to do any work! I was going to take it easy, chat with everyone at the research club, and enjoy student life!

I was heading to the research club thinking that when Lucian caught me along the way and led me to a carriage. Apparently, we were going home instead of going to the research club today... There goes my relaxing student life...

I wanted to complain, but Lucian said he had something to discuss with an unusually serious expression. It made me tense, too, and I couldn't joke around at all.

Inside the carriage Lucian had brought me to...

“Lucian, why do you look so grim? Did something happen?”

“...Yeah. I actually spoke with Arthur today, and what he told me was pretty painful... I think we're partly responsible for what's happened. So I thought I should tell you, Leon.”

Lord Arthur?

I hadn't had much to do with him since the day I taught him about commoners... Could something bad have happened?

Lord Arthur's father seemed like a really dangerous man. He'd been educating Arthur as if he wanted to turn him into a puppet...
