Chapter 134: Arthur thoughts

Arthur leaned forward, his eyes narrowing. "Your kindness, your naivety it'll be your undoing. Do you know what your biggest flaw is, Mr. Kane?"

Lucian raised an eyebrow but didn't respond.

"It's your kindness," Arthur said, his voice low but laced with a cutting edge. "Your ridiculous, overbearing kindness. You're overly good, childishly so. And one day, mark my words you'll regret it. You'll look back and realize it was the very thing that destroyed you if not you are not currently."

Lucian blinked at Arthur's words, the faintest flicker of surprise passing across his face. He hadn't expected this kind of comment from Arthur, but he allowed himself to think it over. For a moment, silence hung between them, heavy and contemplative.

Finally, Lucian spoke, his voice soft but steady. "Is it? I don't know… maybe you're right. Maybe kindness is a flaw in a world like this."

Arthur raised an eyebrow, clearly surprised by the response.
