Chapter 127: Sorting things out

•Arius

After reaching the mansion the first thing I did was look for Caesar.

The maid told me he was in the back yard and I made my way there.

He was sitting there on the bench in the corner with his legs next to his chest, his family sword in his hands.

I sighed, he still sits like that when he's depressed.

I shook my head.

He's just like a kid.

I walked up to him and he saw me immediately.

He stood up a bit confused and I walked till I stood directly in front of him.

I opened my mouth to say something but stopped.

Honestly, I won't deny I myself had no idea what to say, so I sat down on the bench and looked at him, "Sit."

He did as he was told but just looked at the ground.

Neither of us knew what to say and for a while we just sat there in complete silence. The wind blew every now and then but it didn't make the awkwardness between us go away.

"I'm sorry." Caesar was the first one to speak.

"It wasn't your fault." I replied immediately.
