"Why is it that every time you get hurt, it's always in this position!?What's there!?Is the witch a demon hole!?Is it necroned by the venom bubble!?Or is it cursed!?What are you doing!?Punish yourself!?No one thinks Rick's death is your fault, why do you keep thinking it's your fault!?Why do you think you can stop something that even Rick and Jonathan can't stop!?Are you stronger than the two of them combined, more than everyone combined!? Yes, Rick forced you to do what you didn't want to do, to throw a mess at you, because he saw your leadership skills, saw your potential, and he never wanted to tie you up here with guilt and guilt, and make you atone for your eternal unhappiness with the Golden Lion! But how did you do it!?You've been rotten since Duran's death!Rotten in your guilt! I don't understand Arthur, why is this happening? I'd rather you didn't care about anything, I thought you didn't care about that, was I wrong?ah! Am I wrong!?If I'm not right, then why did you become like this!?I can't stand Arthur, I want you to change back!Even if you are irresponsible, you don't care about anything, you don't care about anything, you don't have no choice, you never have no choice!"

Witt gasped for emotion, Arthur first looked at Witt in surprise, and gradually he lowered his gaze and asked Witt, "Do you think I'm innocent? Don't you think I don't have resentment in me? Don't you know Jonathan......"

"Jonathan trusts you and obeys you!" Werther snapped, "He treats you as a friend!"

The corners of Arthur's mouth provoked a bitter arc: "He hates me, he has always been careful not to show it, but the way he looks at me...... Every time I can feel it, he is always saying, why not you who died. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

"No...... It's not like that......" Witt shook his head in disbelief, "Jonathan can't be like this!"

Arthur didn't respond, and soon Witt said, "What if Jonathan hates you, if you're responsible, he's more responsible, and he's just reducing his guilt by hating you!"

"Witte ......"

"Even if he hates you!?Don't you care what people think of you!?At least you used to be like this, Arthur, you have a choice, you have always had a choice, we can get out of here, get out of here, get out of it all, the Golden Lion Regiment has settled down in the new camp, Jonathan can be the leader, we can go back to the way we used to travel, we can go back to the border forest, or go anywhere, we are still free!"

Arthur shook his head slightly: "The war is about to begin, Werther, it was Salina who started the war, and I can't get out." ”

Werther stared at Arthur with wide eyes, and gradually he gritted his teeth, and after a long silence he let go of Arthur, took a step back, covered his face and turned his back.

Arthur knew Werther was in pain, but he didn't know what he had to do. He tried to reach out to touch Witt's shoulder, but the hand reached out and stopped in mid-air. Werther's back made Arthur feel very uncomfortable, he couldn't do anything about it, and he mistakenly thought that Werther was still the same as before, and could understand him and tolerate him without any restrictions as before.

Arthur entered Valentine's study for the first time and saw him sitting on a single couch by the floor-to-ceiling window, drawing something in his hand, and the abundant sunlight shining on him made him look like a warm gentleman's doll.

Rhys stood in front of the bookshelf, as if sorting out something.

"Welcome, Arthur. Valentine smiled and beckoned to Arthur.

Valentine's elegant voice made Arthur's heart feel as comfortable as being immersed in warm water, and he walked over, and Valentine showed him the image he was drawing.

It is the view from the window, the garden, the old trees, the flowers.

"I often paint the scenery outside the window. Valentine smiled and said, "Although the scenery is the same, every time I draw it, it seems that I can paint a different feeling." This process calms me down. ”

Arthur quickly picked the corners of his mouth: "That's good." ”

After Valentine set the painting tools aside, Arthur said, "Anyway, I want to thank you one more time, and I have decided to bother you for a while until my injuries are completely recovered and the team is in the best condition." ”

After a pause, Arthur said with a hint of hesitation, "I...... I don't know how long it will take, but there are so many of us, are you sure it really won't cause you trouble? Especially at this sensitive time. ”

Valentine's smile didn't change at all: "You are the guest I expected, Arthur, although I have always kept a low profile, I am a duke after all, you don't have to worry about me." ”

Valentine invites Arthur to join him for tea, and then invites him to take a walk in the forest around the castle. They walked on the soft earth in the afternoon sun, and Valentine introduced Arthur to his surroundings, proudly telling about the great variety of birds in the forest, and before they knew it, they came to the lake, where a boat was moored, and Valentine invited Arthur to take a boat.

Originally, Arthur wanted to row, but Rhy said that he would come to row, and Valentine's purpose was to rest and chat with you, Arthur had to sit down with Valentine, and Rhys rowed the oars unhurriedly, and the boat slowly moved forward in the lake with silver ripples.

The air on the lake was unique, and Arthur liked the slightly damp smell as he inhaled deeply, a smile of enjoyment on his face.

Valentine was happy, and he hoped that Arthur would be able to relax. Like Arthur, he also inhaled deeply, stretching in the warm sunlight.

"That's nice. Arthur sighed subconsciously.

"yes. Valentine chimed in, "If only it could be like this all the time." ”

"But I can't, for me this comfort is always only temporary. Arthur looked at Valentine, "Even you, you make me feel comfortable, but I can't stay with you forever." ”

Valentine stretched out his hand: "I welcome you at any time." ”

"I know. Arthur smiled bitterly, "But I'm not sure, can I really be so comfortable? Even if I know that the big war is coming, and that the storm is coming, the Golden Lions have to make a choice." ”

"You're not ready. Valentine's eyes widened, looking at Arthur earnestly and said, "No one can be ready, but everyone qualifies for happiness." ”

Arthur looked dazed: "You're Rick's friend, you should know what happened to Rick when he died, why don't you hate me, why are you so good to me, if you hate me, maybe I'll be better." ”

"Arthur, Rick is not such a narrow-minded person, everyone in the Golden Lions is the same as Rick, and so am I. ”
