"Mom, I'm leaving first," Arthur said as he kissed Aquila's cheek. "Where's Dad?"
"He's in the back garden," Aquila replied.
Arthur stepped into his father's location to say goodbye. He hadn't spoken one-on-one with Albern at all after the argument in the dining room. Albern seemed busy playing chess alone.
"Dad," Arthur called as he walked over to the man. Albern didn't respond and didn't even turn his head. "I have to go to work."
"Hm."
"Oh come on, Dad. I don't want to fight with you, or did you fight with mom? Get kicked out of the room?" Arthur chirped teasing his father.
"Tsk, go away. You can talk to me when you ask permission to marry," Albern said while advancing the white chess piece three steps.
Arthur noticed his father was still busy alone, he decided to sit in front of Albern and take over the black chess piece.
"What are you doing?" Albern asked in surprise.
