    Ethan kept his gaze low as Arthur began to talk. It wasn't his fault he hadn't realized! He just didn't glance down nor felt it. Still, He didn't argue with Arthur. Then he was saying he liked the flower but he didn't agree with Ethan. Making the young man tense as he told Arthur. "I didn't mean to upset you, And I shouldn't have gotten so loud. I'm sorry. But I just.. Don't see any good coming out of punishing those knights. " Not for him anyway. He spoke softly before his gaze snapped back up to Arthur. Perhaps a little wide. A frown showed on his face.


    "I can still work, I'll be more careful. I promise. " He told Arthur. It was then the medic was returning. A disapproving look on his face as he headed over to Ethan. He had of course caught that last comment and stopped in front of Ethan. Warning him. "When I let you go, I intended for you to rest in your own room. Not work. " He informed Ethan. Kneeling down and lifting Ethan's shirt to look at the injury. Frowning. He lightly cleaned up the wound and began patching things up. Causing Ethan to tense a little bit.


    "I don't like sitting around and doing nothing. Surely Its not that bad?" He commented. That made the medic shoot a glare up at him. Clearly a sign not to argue. Then the male looked back at the injury. Ethan winced a little bit as the medic worked on it. The doctor then continued. "No, I'll allow you to stay in your room if you promise not to work. But that is it. " He informed. Clearly giving no room for arguments.

    Arthur didn't reply to the first bit. He got that he was sorry and Arthur was less upset than he originally was but he still thiought it was wrong that they were getting off Scott free. It wasn't necessarily for good to come bait but more to stop bad things from happening again. They clearly had two different views on it though and Arthur didn't want to get into another fight.


    Arthur shook his head as he said he could still work and the medic agreed which really wasn't surprising. So yeah, no work for Ethan today! He should be overjoyed really! Maybe Ethan could grab a book and come watch him train? That way Arthur could keep an eye on him and Ethan hopefully wouldn't be bored. But mainly he figured Ethan had to relax. Maybe someone should drug his food so he went to sleep.


    He figured Susan might want to visit her cousin again, check how he was doing snd he was sure that princess Caroline would let her if she so desired. "You're not working" the prince agreed because it was for the best. Ethan could get settled in his room seeing as he hadn't been able to yesterday! What with getting stabbed and being unconscious snd all that business.

    Ethan couldn't help but look up at Arthur with a small pout on his face. He hardly wanted to be stuck in his room all day. But he soon averted his eyes and winced as the medic kept working on him. Causing the medic to snap. "Stop wiggling. " He warned Ethan. Who simply grumbled a bit. Seemed he wasn't going to argue. But he was going to make sure he looked completely miserable sitting around. Signing. The Medic soon enough pulled away after Ethan had been properly patched up. Crossing his arms. He glared down at the miserable looking Ethan before turning away.


    Walking along towards where his supplies were. He then asked. "Can you read?" He questioned Ethan. Who blinked, Looking up and murmuring. "Yeah- Why. " The medic then after washing his hands picked up a pile of papers. Walking back over. He dumped them in front of Ethan. Stating. "Then I want you to go threw these. " Ethan tensed up at the sight. Glancing up at the medic. "This will take me all day! Besides. What is it? " He questioned a bit horrified.


    "It is a novel my wife is writing, And I need someone to spell check it. You've got the job. You wanted to do something. Now get to work. " That made Ethan pause for a moment. A novel seemed interesting. He picked up the papers and looked to where the cover of the book would soon be. For now, It was a sketch. Ethan couldn't help but blink at the sketch someone has drawn. Some shirtless guy holding a damsel in distress. It nearly made Ethan role his eyes a bit. He didn't seem to be resisting the work to much. opening to about the middle of the novel. And boy, Did Ethan have his work cut out for him. He visible paled a little bit. Glancing at Arthur with a small plea of help.

    Arthur was admittedly amused as Ethan was told to stop wriggling. He watched curiously as the medic handed Ethan some papers. What were those? A novel? By his wife? Oh....what about he wondered? He smiled gently at the medic's sass. Well, that told Ethan didn't it! Arthur caught a glimpse of the cover and oh...was the medic's wife a little unsatisfied? It seemed like Ethan's day may get a little more grey, by about 50 shades.


    Arthur saw him turn paler and he offered his servant an amused smile in return. "At least you won't get bored" he said. He got the feeling he might see Ethan blush a lot or hear him complain about it. Maybe Ethan could read it to him. He wasn't going to try and get Ethan out of it. It'd distract him snd he did sort of owe the medic for patching him up again after he'd already been stitched up.


    "Cmon" Arthur urged. "Why don't you go sit outside?" He suggested. "It's nice and sunny out" he murmured. Or he could go to his room. Or Arthur's room! But....the sunlight might do him so good. He better not have to be back here though. How embarrassing would that be?! Very. He would try to make sure that Ethan didn't start bleeding again. He might just have to kiss it better if he did.

    Clearly Arthur wasn't going to be providing Ethan any way out of this. The male couldn't help but swallow a bit as he stared down at the book. It couldn't be that bad. Could it? Then Arthur was offering to let him sit outside, And Ethan very much wanted to get out of the room. Standing up slowly as to not cause himself any pain. He then murmured. "Yeah- I uh.. I like that Idea. Thanks Doc! " He was certain to say. The medic only grunted a goodbye to the two of them. Atleast he seemed to trust them enough not to open the wound again! That was good! Ethan did not want to be stuck in that room all day.


    Lightly he found himself reaching for Arthur's arm without even thinking about it. Beginning to head outside the room as he flipped the pages once more. Going to a random page. Murmuring. "It can't be that bad. Can it? " He questioned Arthur. Deciding to read outloud. "'The knights body was better then I imagined. Built perfectly from years of working in the sun. I couldn't help but moan as h- " Ethan's face instantly went red and he closed it back. "Nope, Nope, Nope. " The rest of the page quickly degraded into a fantasy that Ethan was uncomfortable repeating. His face still very red.


    But now, IT was in his head and he couldn't help but found his gaze drifting to Arthur. No.. No.. He couldn't sit there imagining Arthur while reading the medic's wife's fantasy. No. Bad.. Chewing on his lip. He kept his eyes on Arthur for a moment before quickly averting his eyes. Opening the book finally to the first page as he walked, He glanced at Arthur once more. Face still red before he focused back on the book.

    Arthur was quite glad that Ethan reached for him, worried that Ethsn might fall over or something. It seemed Ethan spoke too soon about the book. He grinned as he read it out loud and Arthur couldn't help but snicker softly st the content. Once they were s little bit down the hall and he glanced st Ethan as he stopped reading, seeing him go red, he properly laughed. "Oh Ethan" he murmured. "I'm sure there's plenty more were that came from" and Ethan had to read it all.


    Was Arthur, Ethan's knight in shining armour? Was Ethan, Arthur's damsel in distress? Perhaps just a little after yesterday's event but Arthur think for even one second that Ethan might be thinking of him in reference to this story. Those sort of thoughts might keep Ethan up at night. Maybe it was a bit soon to be thinking about all this in the book, all they'd done after all was kiss a few times.


    Arthur guided Ethan outside. They had benches so that was okay. " Do you want to sit by the training courtyard?" He asked. "Or by the gardens?" He'd probably like it by the training courtyard but the Knights might distract him and then he'd have even more Knights to think about snd he might spot those mean ones that had stabbed him and that probably wouldn't end too well if they came over and saw what he was reading but Arthur figured it should be up to Ethan.

    "In the book? Or in your bedroom? " Ethan said without even really thinking. His gaze still on the book. What? He had the image of Arthur in his mind and well.. It had slipped out. Quickly Ethan's eyes widened and he turned to Arthur. Waving his hand and telling the other. "I- I mean... " But really he had no excuse. So he just flushed and looked down as they finally exited the castle. Soon given the choice. And Of course he was going to want to watch the knights! But the garden was tempting. It would give him a chance to collect a few pretty flowers to press- Still. Ethan wanted to watch the knights train.


    "Training courtyard! " He found himself saying perhaps a little overly excitable. But Ethan loved the idea of being a knight. Soon enough letting go of Arthur and moving on his own. He remembered which way to go, This time luckily he wasn't sneaking around. He moved along and was glad to see some people were already out bright and early for practice.


    Moving along, He reached the bench and sat down. Peering at the men at practice. He couldn't help but ask Arthur. "Are you going to go train? " He questioned, Looking up at Arthur for a moment. Before he found himself blushing a bit once more. So he directed his gaze towards the men. Yeah. These guys had a lot more skill then the knights back at his home.

    Arthur had not expected that outburst and he found his eyes widening and cheeks flushing because actually that caused a few images to burst into his mind, without his meaning but they weren't unpleasurable. Arthur pushed that away because that was indecent and not very gentlemanly of him. Ethan seemed to try snd take it back or explain it but yeah, it was probably just best to glide on past this and for Ethan to focus on his book. But yeah, Arthur had meant the book. He deigned it best not to answer and just coughed gently.


    He nodded and followed Ethan to the courtyard. He smiled now that they were in the sun and his blush had managed to die down. He watched the Knights practice as well before he turned to Ethan as he was asked a question. He squinted slightly against the sun and appraised his servant. "Depends" he murmured. "I will if I can't trust you to stay put snd look after yourself" he said. "And make sure you don't reopen your wound"


    Arthur would make sure to keep an eye on Ethan and probably check up on him from time to time but he would like to train. It might give Ethan something to admire snd fantasise about although let's hope he didn't get distracted from the book. "If you need me you can just call" he said. "Who knows, I might get tired" he said. " Then I'll come sit by you and you can read to me" Arthur suggested with a grin.

    Ethan couldn't help but be delighted out here. He gave a mock pout as Arthur talked. Murmuring. "Oh, Don't you trust me? " He teased lightly, Soon breaking into a smile. His eyes then drifted towards the training. Yeah, It might be a bit difficult for him to focus out here. But he'd get some reading done! His face then flushed once more as Arthur mentioned letting Ethan read to him. Commenting lightly. "Maybe, Who knows. It might give you some ideas on how to woo the princess. " He joked, Or atleast about what ladies fantasized about. Frankly Ethan didn't think Arthur needed to learn that much. He was already Mr. Prince Charming.


    Ethan then continued to observe the knights. When his eyes managed to find the guy who had stabbed him last night. The male was over talking to some other knight casually. As if nothing had happened, And Ethan couldn't help but be a little worried. Hopefully Arthur wouldn't go over there and start something. Ethan could hope atleast. Quietly the male then looked down to the book. Opening it up.


    He made sure to keep the cover down- He didn't want anyone to know what he was reading. He then giving one last glance at Arthur. Murmured. "By the way, Please Tell no one about this. " He requested. He didn't want anyone knowing he had read this book! He'd never live it down!

    Arthur smiled st him at the question of trust. Ethan did seem to have a habit of getting into trouble so who knew what would happen when aether left him alone but yeah, he did trust him. Actually....that wasn't a bad idea. Clearly this book was about a woman's fantasies, it might give him an insight into what the princess might like.


    Arthur followed Ethan's gaze and tensed as he saw the Knights, smile dying down a bit as his jaw bunched up and his eyes narrowed just the slightest. He knew Ethan didn't want him to say anything but....well, if they just happened to spar with him or something, he wouldn't be forgiving. He tore his gaze away thiugh as Ethan insisted he didn't tell anyone about the book.


    He grinned st his servant. "Of course not" he agreed in amusement. "It'll be our little secret" he figured that Ethan would get no end of teasing if people found out. The Knights would probably say something and what if his cousin Susan found out? How embarrassing huh. "I'll go then" he murmured. "Try not to hurt yourself" he insisted before he smiled snd then turned and walked off to the Knights training to grab his sword.


    It wasn't long before Arthur was already sparring with someone and it was obvious that he was really enjoying himself. He seemed to be talking to the other knight as they fought. Neither was wearing armour but that didn't seem to matter as they blocked and parried and besides, they were well trained enough that they'd only give each other small nicks. And they wouldn't stab a man when he was down unlike some people...

    Ethan found himself grinning lightly at Arthur. Watching as the male head off to spar. He found himself watching him for a few moments before his gaze had drifted back towards the book. Beginning to quietly read and doing his best to contain any blushing that may occur. Occasionally he found his gaze drifting back up to watch Arthur spar- The male seemed so happy practicing and Ethan couldn't help but be a bit envious. He would have loved to be behind a sword! Properly learning how to fight. Alas, Last time that hadn't ended too well for Ethan.


    He was so focused on the book and Arthur- That well.. He had hardly noticed when the knight who had attacked him made his way across the training grounds. Obviously making his way towards Ethan. The man practically snuck up on Ethan. Peering at him and lightly murmuring. "Whatcha reading Kid? " He asked, Causing Ethan to jump a bit. Quickly closing the book and turning his gaze to look at the man. Who stared at Ethan with a raised eyebrow. "N-Nothing.." He began. Finding himself a little tense.


    The male leaned closer, Smiling lightly. "Oh? That doesn't look like nothing... But anyway, I'd like to talk to you in private if thats alright. " Ethan obviously wanted to refuse. His gaze drifting over towards Arthur who was still busy training with the other knight. He wanted to call out. But then he felt the male's hand lightly touch the back of his neck and he wasn't sure how to get of this. "A-Alright. " He began. Leading the male to cast a smile at him.


    Ethan was then standing up. Face a little pale as the other moved his arm over his shoulder. Leading Ethan away from the others. It didn't take long before they were out of eye shot and Ethan felt himself being pushed up against the wall. Trapped it seemed. The knight then began. "Alright, Spill it kid. Whats the princes plan? " He of course knew he was likely in a lot of trouble. Ethan stayed still. Clutching the papers close to his chest as he told. "N-Nothing. I asked for nothing to be done as we were all drunk. " Ethan explained. That caused the male to smile a bit. Suddenly reaching up and ruffling Ethan's hair as he said. "Smart kid. "

    Arthur was busying sparring and as such he didn't notice the dishonourable knight creep up to Ethan or practically haul him away. Arthur was going to feel terrible about this and even worse if Ethan got hurt. He'd promised that he'd keep an eye on Ethan and he'd been taken away under his nose. Arthur couldn't take his focus away from this fight thiugh because they were sharp and deadly objects snd you had to be careful around them.


    The other knight gave him a small nick, barely even a scratch really but that allowed Arthur to get close enough and disarm him. He grinned and patted the other man on the back before turning to check up on Ethan and freezing as he saw he wasn't there. His smile dropped in an instant and he felt like his heart skipped a beat in his worry and fear.


    " excuse me" he murmured distantly as he walked towards the bench his servant had been sitting on, sword still in hand. Who knew what trouble Ethan had gotten into, he might need to fight off some attacker. Or attackers! He did seem to get into trouble a lot. Or maybe Ethan had ran? Arthur may have felt bad thinking it but panic struck him as he wondered if Ethan had abandoned him to go tell his father, or the princess of his attraction to men. He swallowed before calling out for him. "Ethan?" Where had he gotten to? Then again, he might have just needed to go to the toilet.

    Ethan remained tense as the male moved his hand to his chin. Murmuring. "Tsk, But you can still get me in a lot of trouble.. " The knight said, And that made Ethan shrink back a little. The knight only moved closer though the more Ethan tried to get away. "I promise, I won't. " Ethan began. It was then he heard Arthur call his name. He wanted to call out to the other male. But with the knight so threateningly near. Ethan dared not move. The knight was clearly teasing Ethan now, As he lightly tapped Ethan's chest. Murmuring. "Oh? How can I trust you? " He asked lightly.


    The knights face then grew serious. He then said. "No, Your always going to hang over my head. So here is the plan. Your going to resign, And leave. Or else I'm going to leave your body in a ditch. " He threatened. Yeah, This guy was perhaps not the most noble person around. Ethan tensed. Averting his gaze. That.. That put him in a awkward position. He wasn't going to leave. His cousin was here! And she knew about the attack as well. What if this guy went after her as well- Someone needed to protect her. But.. This guy could really mess his family up if he wanted. Biting his lip. He didn't have much time to think, If he had- He might have done things differently. But he found himself calling out. "Arthu-!!! " He was cut off as he felt the knight slam his fist into his stomach. Clearly attempting to silence him before he could get much out. "What did I just say?!" The knight snapped as Ethan fell to his knees. Clutching his stomach- Cause goodness. That hurt.


    Luckily the knight wasn't expecting what Ethan did next. Lifting his hand. Ethan punched the other- Right between the legs. Causing the male to yelp and fall back. With the other squirming on the ground. Ethan took the chance to stand up- Still keeping a arm around his stomach. He moved closer to the knight on the ground. Without warning beginning to kick the male multiple times in the stomach. Breathing. "F*ck you. " He snapped. He wasn't going to let this guy get up! Ethan figured if he got a chance he could very easily kill Ethan!

    Arthur was not at all reassured when he didn't receive an answer and was met instead by relative silence. Oh no. What had happened to Ethan? Arthur was very concerned about where his servant might be and what might have happened to him. And it seemed he wasn't going to get an answer.


    But then he did. A cut off calling of his name had Arthur gripping his sword tighter as he moved towards where the sound had come from. He didn't run, you shouldn't really run with a sword and he didn't want to alert anyone he was coming and he didn't know what he was going to be met with so he had to be slightly wary, but he wasn't slow about getting to Ethan.


    He head a few cries of pains and when he rounded the corner to where they were, he was quite relieved to see the knight on the floor. He rushed over. "Ethan" he said softly, putting a hand out to try and draw him away from the man on the ground. He might've been attacked but Arthur wasn't going to let him give the guy internal bleeding or something. He went to point his sword at the other knight. "What happened here?" He asked. Although....unfortunately, people might beleive that the knight had been attacked and not the other way around with how much he'd been kicked. And he could probably say that Ethan's injury had been in retaliation.

    Ethan only stopped when he felt a arm pushing him back and heard his name. Turning his head, And thus, There was Arthur. Of course- Maybe on the late side! But he had arrived none the less. Ethan soon enough shrunk back more behind Arthur as the male seemed to take charge of the situation. The knight. Laying there coughed a little, Before glancing up at the prince. A expression of annoyance on his face. "What does it look like? " He questioned, Before sitting up and brushing his hand threw his hair as he began recovering. His eyes shot to Ethan. Slightly narrowed before he looked back at Arthur.


    "Your little Servant kicked me. And then continued to attack me. " Yeah, Of course he decided to not mention punching Ethan in the stomach. Which Ethan quickly brought up. "He punched me. " The male quietly stated, Remaining though mostly on the sidelines as the knight informed. "Only after he had struck me. " In the end, He had been the one on the ground with Ethan attacking after all.. Yeah, That looked pretty bad. The knight seemed to realize that.


    A knights word over a servants. Ethan clearly didn't look happy and opened his mouth to argue. But he stopped when the knight stood up. Stating. "I should be heading to the medic's just in case.. And I should perhaps send word to my parents about this attack. " They would surely want to bring this matter up to the king! Ethan wasn't in a good position and he seemed to realize this. His eyes flickered to Arthur and he considered bargaining. But he didn't think that was the wisest in front of the prince.. He'd need to speak to the knight privately and hopefully strike a deal. Maybe...

    Arthur wasn't stupid. He recognised this guy from yesterday, having stabbed Ethan. But....he did have a point and he hated to doubt Ethan but he didn't really know him. For all he knee Ethan and attacked this knight so that he wouldn't tell anyway and then called Arthur as he'd been attacked, playing the prince like a fool. His eyes narrowed slightly. He didn't honestly know what to believe but he knew this was the knight from yesterday and Ethan seemed like a good person. He was willing to trust his servant who had so far proven trustworthy.


    He wasn't happy about Ethan being punched but then again he wasn't happy about the knight being kicked like that either. He was sure something was off with that story but he hadn't been around so he didn't know what. He agreed that the knight should go to the medic's but inform his family? Surely they didn't know of a small attack and it reminded Arthur of what Ethan had said about his family being in danger from this knight. It sounded like a threat!


    "I don't see why you should" Arthur countered. "It was only a small scuffle" he murmured. "It's not like anyone got stabbed" and maybe Arthur was a tad passive aggressive. Speaking of which, Ethan should probably mske sure his wound hadn't reopened from that lunch. "Surely you don't want to disappoint your family by telling them that you were quite successfully attacked by a servant? If that's the story you're sticking to at least" he murmured so yeah, it was quite clear that Arthur was suspicious but could you really blame him?

    The knight narrowed his eyes a bit at the prince. Straightening out, He didn't seem that injured luckily. He'd probable only suffer from a few bruises. But he then pointed out. "Story? I speak only honestly, And it should be known. You can't exactly have a dangerous man running loose? " The knight told Arthur. His arms crossing a bit over his chest. Ethan frowned, Moving closer. He found himself wrapping his arms around one of Arthur's arms. Murmuring quietly. "He attacked me first after threatening to dump me in a ditch. " Because Ethan was already in trouble, He was surely going to fight to keep himself from being arrested or something! His gaze flickering towards the other male.


    Sadly, The knight took notice of how close Ethan was to Arthur. How he leaned against him. He certainly was acting more friendly towards Arthur then a normal servant. And while the knight didn't actually think anything was going on between them. He found himself grinning a bit, He wanted a leg up on the prince. To have a little control. "Aren't you very fond of your servant. Coming to his rescue everytime he runs into trouble.. My.. I wonder what people will think? " The knight suggested.


    "Luckily, I have a bad memory. Perhaps I can even be urged a little to forget a few things?" The knight suggested. Oh yep, He wanted something and he was trying to take advantage of Ethan and Arthur. It was just obvious. His eyes flickered between the men. Before he cocked his head and stepped closer to Arthur. Telling him lightly. "Perhaps we can discuss it more after my visit to the medic... " He murmured.

    Arthur gritted his teeth as this knight tried to profess that he was truthful and decent. He was kidding right? Arthur noticed Ethan claiming one of his arms and yeah, that probably wasn't the best in public, even if he was doing it for some sort of shelter and protection. The knight seemed to realise this as well. Arthur frowned at the news from his servant. Dumped in s ditch? He presumed dead or something close to it.


    Every time? Like twice! "That I'm a decent person who cares about people" Arthur replied although yeah, a few were definitely going to think that him and Ethan were up to some thing sordid and to be fair, they sort of were. And then the knight was trying to suggest he be bribed or something of the like. Maybe he shouldn't step closer to the aggravated Arthur be used it took all his will power not to punch him right in the throat.


    His muscles were tensed and his eyes narrowed, which wasn't normal for Arthur. And he was conflicted because he didn't think they should bow down to this guy but also he was worried about Ethan and what might happen to his family like he said because this guy had already hinted about hurting Ethan and his family. But keeping him quiet with money or whatever it is that he wanted was wrong. "Go to the medic's" Arthur insisted and urged. "We'll see" he really needed Ethan's input.

    The knight was pleased he had seemed to rile Arthur up a bit. He clearly felt he had the upper hand. And at the prince's words. He muttered a soft. "As you wish sir. " Turning and beginning to casually walk away. He truly didn't seem that injured, But he could very well pretend later he was wounded more then he actually was. It left Ethan a bit tense. Still holding onto Arthur's arm. He remained silent until the knight was out of sight. And even then, He kept still for a few more heart beats. Eventually looking up at Arthur, Seeming generally upset. This was a dangerous position.


    "Arthur, I'm sorry. He made me follow him and.. And.. " His gaze flickered down. Perhaps he should of shouted for Arthur as soon as the male had tried to get him to leave. Or maybe he could have resisted more and saved them both this mess. Ethan didn't know. Chewing on his lip. This was bad.. Really, Really Bad. Ethan's gaze then once more moved to Arthur. He could imagine the knights plan. He had this against Arthur. He could get anything he wanted out of the other male. Unless he just happened to get killed somehow! But lets face it. Neither Ethan or Arthur were really the type to kill someone.. Probable.


    Ethan then found himself glancing down to his stomach and side. Luckily the knight had failed to break the new stitching somehow- Ethan didn't want to have to go to the medics with that man sitting there. Sadly. All the papers had fallen on the floor during the small scuffle. Hopefully nothing had gotten too messed up. Stepping over towards them. He carefully picked up everything before glancing at Arthur. "I... " But he stopped himself. He didn't know what to say? What were they supposed to do? This guy could have control over them for the rest of there lives if they weren't careful!

    Arthur watched him go, still tensed, from the whole situation and in case he had to jump into action. Oh, what a mess this was indeed. Once he was fond, Arthur deflated just a little but was clearly still tense, his muscles bunched up. He looked at Ethan as he sort of explained before trailing off. Yeah, he hadn't thought Ethan had gone of his own free will! Surely he wasn't that stupid. Arthur eyed him as he collected up the papers. "Are you okay?" He asked with a bit of a sigh.


    Arthur was angry and he wasn't normally an angry guy but this knight had infuriated him. Well, what were they going to do? It would be Arthur and Ethan's word against the knight's and his father was vaguely aware of the situation already because of this morning's conversation so they could get rid of the Knight that way except them agreeing didn't bode well with how close the knight had seen them get possibly. And Arthur was worried about Ethan's family but they couldn't allow themselves to be bullied!


    Arthur watched Ethan. " we can't allow him to get away with this" he insisted. "I certainly don't plan to allow him to blackmail us" he murmured, especially with such weak evidence and it was all just conjecture anyway, he was the only witness. "We should tell the King" he murmured, back on that track of thoughts but would Ethan still be against it? Arthur might like him but he wouldn't necessarily pay this man off for him. Well, for them.
