Chapter 157: Runera

Ori and Ellen left after their early dinner, leaving Arthur alone in his house. The matter of Ellen was worrying, so he planned on talking to her later on. 

He then went to Master Ronin's villa, where he found his mother drinking a cup of tea as she watched Melania and Oren train. He walked over and sat beside her, not disturbing their training. 

"Doesn't it feel like Oren is overdoing it?" As soon as his mother spotted him, she commented with a frown. Arthur felt a headache coming since his mother was the overprotective type. 

"Well," Arthur looked at his brother trying to parry Melania's wooden sword. "It's like that when you're motivated." 

"Do you know anything?" His mother looked at him directly and smacked his head before he could reply. "You should tell me if you're going to be away for so long."
