Arthur went off chasing a butterfly into the forest. Aslong as he doesn't go too far into the forest he'll be fine so I left him alone
Me and Julius we're drinking separately from the others.
"Why wont you train your son? Hiro" Julius asked
"I dont have the time so I ask Tessia to train him but, it seems tessia's training is too much for
Arthur and Lillia doesn't want to train Arthur and want's him to have a normal life" I sigh a defeated sigh
"Well then let's talk about another topic!" Julius seems a little drunk. He was always an extreme lightweight
"How about marrying Arthur to Lily, eh?"
Yep, he'a drunk
"Hahahaha, don't joke around Solja"
"I'm not joking here Hiro! Through our children we connect our family's! And I'm not drunk I'm just drunk"
Yep, his drunk
I changed his cup from alcohol to water then
"Father! Hiro! I promise to make the empire thrive with Arthur!"
Julius heard that and took the chance
"HA! Heard that! She want's it too! You can no longer reject!"
He lost his imperial prescence so I smacked back
"I may not be able to but Arthur can still reject! Hahaha! Lillia where's Arthur? Has he returned yet?"
"He has not returned yet—"
A roar of a bear could be heard and a flock of birds fly from a certain part of the forest
"Lillia, Tessia!"
"Yes!"
The two ran off into the forest
.
Shit shit shit! Why didn't I stop him!? Why!? Why!?
I was worried as his sister I should have protected him better
We ran and ran deeper into the forest
"...!" I stopped
I saw a splatter of blood and checked whether it was Arthur's blood or an animals blood
I released a terrific gasp, then fell to my knees
"Madam!" Tessia shouted. She then ran over to me.
She gasped, with a horrific look on her face she looks at what I was holding.
I was holding the teddy bear that Arthur carried with him. Bloodied with unknown blood
"D-did young man d-die?"
"I dont know, I found this and the corpse of a dead bear"
"T-then we should ask master what to do"
"You're right"
.
I fell to my knees in fear
InFear of what might've happened to Arthur
Mamu was the same she was in fear. We didn't believe it at first but the sight of the bloody bear validated our fear
"Hiro! I'll have the knights help in finding Arthur so Calm down!"
"Y-yeah"
