120 ARTHUR'S DARK EXPRESSION

When Veronica was talking about another man's body, Arthur's expression became gloomy. As if dark clouds gathered in the sunny sky.

Sebastian's blood turned cold after noticing his master's expression. 'Eek! He looks angry. What's going to happen now?'

They proceeded to the south until dusk came. In the whole journey, the girls chatted merrily. Arthur stayed silent all the way. His quietness made Sebastian tremble in fear.

The sky set on the west. Their surroundings became darker. While Sebastian guarded the women, Arthur went ahead and scouted the area. After he came back, he declared, "The area is safe. But it will rain soon. We should stay under a big tree. We won't get a big animal tonight. Is it okay if we only have fried fish for tonight?" he asked everyone.

"I'm okay with anything you cook," Veronica stated with a smile.

Arthur didn't seem to be happy with her answer. He expressionlessly turned toward her friend.
