Seeing Arthur show up after being missing for months caused a buzz amongst the students and in no time, almost everyone knew the whimsical prince had returned.
Arthur expected this and as such, the gazes he was feeling did not surprise him, nor did he try to shirk away from them.
He continued chatting on his phone happily, until he heard a familiar voice, one that he had not heard in a very long while.
"Arthur."
Looking up, he was met with the figure of a girl with above-average height and a slim build. Her fair skin seemed to shine brighter than he last saw it and her long black hair was tied into a side ponytail.
She gazed at Arthur with her almond-shaped green eyes, causing him to break out in a smile.
"Layla, it's been a while."
Layla nodded and took a seat opposite Arthur. Feeling the gazes of various students boring into her, she clicked her tongue very audibly and tapped her hand on the table twice.
"Sound of the Silence."
