Chapter 15: Starlight Palace
"Awaken? With Arenox?" Lucien was perplexed. "But you could only awaken with live spirits–"
His eyes widened as he realized something.
"Exactly, your highness," Arthur confirmed his doubts. "One of the spirit generals you ’slayed’ was still alive and was morphed to this state."
’But I made sure they were dead, though.’ Lucien rubbed his temples, unable to believe what he had just heard.
Arthur wanted to give him time to digest this, but they had been here for quite a while. "So, here’s the plan.
"I would take you back to the royal palace, and you would just say that you suddenly went unconscious last night, and you woke up in this building with this mirror."
"But, wouldn’t they know that this mirror is yours?" Lucien queried.
"No, Arenox was the Albrecht family’s artifact," Arthur said casually, then added with a smirk, "And we’re influential enough not to report every little thing to the government."
"And what if they know about your involvement in this building?" Lucien didn’t pay his smugness any attention and instead asked about the more pressing question.
Arthur answered coolly. "I have already handled everything. You don’t have to worry about it."
"You wouldn’t be questioned much, and they wouldn’t take away Arenox either." This time, his tone was a tad bit down, but Lucien caught that instantly.
