บท 240: Chapter 240 – Duke Blacktomb

"Excuse me for a second." I put my utensils down and stood up.

"Arthur?" Eliza asked, looking up at me curiously.

"Just a minute, alright?" I answered her with a smile and leaned slightly. "I need to use the bathroom."

"Oh!" She exclaimed shortly and nodded. "Alright."

"Have fun." I walked away and put my hands in my pocket.

The worst thing about this world was that there was no elevator or lift, making mobility between floors a bit tiring.

More importantly, Alesia was with Duke Blacktomb in this place. For what reason? Discussing the Annual Tournament? Or was it just a polite greeting from the headmistress?

No. A polite greeting could be done in Duke Blacktomb's current residence. And discussion could be done within the Academy or the church.

Besides, Alesia's stance was neutral. She wouldn't bother meeting Duke Blacktomb alone.
