章 278: Foolish Dreams

Arthur moved through the mansion wearing his new clothes. They were far shabbier than his original clothes, but he couldn't walk around wearing the clothes of Jerano. As he went from a hallway to a hallway, he listened to the whispers of the servants who passed by him. 

"... her toy..." 

"She did it with a human?" 

"... He must have used dark magic..." 

These were some of the things that he picked up of late. The daily study sessions with Larza made him the center of the rumors of being her lover. Arthur didn't care as long as no one stabbed him based on these baseless rumors, but he couldn't be sure given how much the demi-humans looked down on him. 

"Come in." She said after he knocked on her door. Arthur entered while being aware of the servants eavesdropping outside. Larza was on her desk like always, signing paperwork and finishing out deals.
