In the morning
Arthur sat on the living room sofa with Runa beside him, her face still displaying a look of confusion.
"Young master, is there something you need me for?" Runa tilted her head in puzzlement, directing her question towards Arthur.
Half an hour earlier, Arthur had abruptly summoned her and requested her presence in the living room.
Having just woken up, Runa felt taken aback and swiftly tidied her room before heading to join Arthur in the living room.
Without any further explanation, Arthur suddenly gestured for her to sit beside him.
Upon hearing this, Arthur smiled warmly and tenderly ran his fingers through her silky hair.
"Just wait; I have a surprise for you," Arthur said in a gentle tone.
Runa simply nodded, refraining from asking any additional questions.
She had grown accustomed to following Arthur's lead, and deep down, she trusted that he would never harm her.
