Chapter 78
Although it took a while to fully gather the courage to dig in, Arthur was shocked by the taste of the meal. It tasted so regal and rich that he kept glancing at Kara, wondering what kind of influence she truly carried.Related questions flooded his thoughts almost immediately. Did Kara actually have this much authority on the ship? Or was her influence far beyond what anyone could imagine?"Save the meal questions, Arthur. We are simply benefiting from the authorities of the ship. It's really not a big deal." Kara warned almost as quickly."Not a big deal? Just look at what we have here. Are you even an agent at all?" Arthur widened his gaze.Kara's blue eyes looked back at him. "Meaning?""I mean, you look like you are another arm of authority on this ship."Kara chuckled and reached for another berry. She bit into it slowly before looking at the colleagues who were already staring at their spread with barely hidden hunger."You are quite a comical fellow. Shouldn't you be doing som

The dramatic exit Kara had chosen didn't really come as a shock to Arthur. She was an undercover agent after all, and one of her most important traits should naturally be those well-workshopped disappearances.The rest of the carrying became a little lonely. It appeared the space Kara had left behind was more significant than Arthur wanted to admit. Still, as time slipped by, working without the entertainment of their little conversations gradually became normal again.And then the sky brightened. Surprisingly enough, the night hadn't carried any tumultuous experience with it. In fact, the tides had remained so gentle that everything looked almost ordinary, as though the sea itself had decided to rest."Hey, Arthur? Hope you enjoyed your stay. And I believe no one bothered you." Emerson, the commander, approached again when the Night Crew finally called off the shift."Yes. I enjoyed every bit of it." Arthur nodded."Good to know, good to know. Just don't hesitate. Whenever you need t

With those same blue eyes, Kara lifted her own box with effortless ease while staring deep into Arthur's eyes. She was smiling again, that same smile that never sat well with Arthur.Arthur pretended he never saw her, as though he had never recognized her in the first place. He kept his gaze forward, holding his box tightly while walking with the others."What's wrong? Did I do something wrong?" Kara asked softly.Arthur still ignored her. Even in the midst of the other workers, no one appeared to notice that one of the tiny dwarfs in the Night Crew was speaking to him. Luckily, there were about five other dwarfs moving around the deck, making Kara's frame almost negligible among them."Why are you not speaking to me, Arthur? What did I do wrong?" Kara asked again, her voice quieter this time.After dropping their boxes, Arthur turned to retrieve another load. Before he could take another step, Kara's hand gripped the edge of his trousers.He paused, then sighed before continuing forw

It was becoming really difficult to believe either Asuka or Kara while Arthur remained where he was. Even if Asuka was still looking in his direction with that innocent gaze, it was becoming increasingly clear that she was hiding something herself."Arthur? What's wrong?" Asuka whispered from her cell.But Arthur never answered her. He remained mute and motionless beneath the Invisibility. If one had to think wisely, there should at least be a feeling that both Asuka and Kara were lying. Alongside that feeling came another dreadful realization—that trusting either of them could become the greatest mistake he would ever make."Arthur? Do you think I'm lying?" Asuka's quiet, strained voice softened."Who wouldn't?" Arthur grinned silently at her while remaining unseen."Try to trust me. That lady... I mean, woman doesn't want the best for you." Asuka said.Maybe Arthur had not been recognizing it until now, but for some strange reason, he had been gaining mysterious importance aboard th
Chapter 74
It was true that Arthur hadn't followed the prison passageway before. But he had heard that sleeping dust was often blown into the air to keep every prisoner unconscious through the night. The reason behind such a practice made Arthur wonder what it truly meant.Perhaps it existed for people like Asuka, who remained awake even when everyone else had long drifted into sleep. She ought to have been asleep too, because no other inmate seemed to be in their right senses."Arthur... are you there?" she asked, peering weakly through the bars.Arthur walked closer and looked into her ward. She was lying flat on the floor, gore staining the wooden planks in jagged circles. She could no longer stand on her own legs, and no living soul could look upon her without feeling pity."Are... you okay?" Arthur asked quietly.Asuka looked at him through the deep cut beneath her eye. Her jaw trembled before a painful laugh escaped her lips."I'm just trying to catch my breath, Arthur," she said."I'm rea
Chapter 73
Seated on one of the royal chairs now, Arthur fought the urge not to look at Raka. She was staring at him, still chewing that berry with deliberate calm, as though silence itself was another language she had mastered."Good evening, Your Highness." Arthur said.But the Empress never answered. It was the third time he had tried to pay reverence to her since he'd been seated, yet she offered no reply. At one point, Arthur argued within himself that perhaps he should never have sat down, even if the maid had instructed him to. It might be that sitting before the Empress without her permission was considered rudeness.Or maybe, he had been stealing glances when he should not have. With that latter thought, Arthur kept his eyes fixed on his legs beneath the table. Silence would be an understatement, because the absolute stillness was slowly crushing every part of him."Look at me." She cooed.Arthur looked at her. Now that he finally had the grace to observe the Empress closely, he realize
