章節 398: A Pirate Visitor?

"Our Lord," the Knight of Courage smiled and bowed as Arthur walked into the square. The rest did the same; Gruen, Rosa, Ma, Rumi, Big Bear, Ruri, and everyone who lived in Hidden City were waiting for him. 

Arthur could see that there were many new faces, dusted ones, proving that Courage never slacked in her work. Everyone bowed to him, and Arthur had the alienating feeling as if he deserved it. 

"I don't deserve these gestures," Arthur said to everyone, asking them to stand. "We are all here for a better future, and I'm no better than any of you. We are all trying to build ourselves a home in this world, and that's what binds us together."
