Arthur wakes up and found out he is sleep for a whole of the night there is also a quilt that covered his body and his knife set also place at the table near the bed.

"Bed is a very difficult temptation, I didn't feel there is someone who enters this room and strips out my weapon" even though he predicted nothing will happen but being this careless is a huge mistake on his part. After cleaning himself Arthur walks out of the room and tries to find Emilia.

"If it still morning maybe she will be there..." Arthur looked at the garden on the outskirts of the mansion and with his modified eyes he can find her easily

Today, she was letting her long silver hair hang naturally all the way to her hɨps. Her outfit was not the robe he'd seen at the yesterday but rather, an outfit that accentuated her light skin and slender physique with its design and the skirt was unexpectedly short

"When I look at that short skirt in the anime I think that was fan service to make viewers excited upon seeing her, but seeing it with my own eyes now..." he can't deny this is a high-grade refreshment for the eyes

It's very likely Emilia currently is fulfilling the pact between her and her minor spirit contract because there are several blobs of light floating around her body, Arthur mark a tree near the gazebo before using Hiraishin and disappear from the corridor.

But unbeknown to him there is a pair of eyes that watching all of his movement from behind the door.

....

Sitting under a shady tree Arthur looks at Emilia who is talking happily with the minor spirit but suddenly he is loss on his own mind and didn't react or even feel there is an uninvited guest on his shoulder.

"You treat my daughter as a substitute, as a father how do you think I should react?"

Puck's voice is pulled back Arthur to the reality and it makes him realize there is Puck that's who likely uses his mind-reading power on him.

"... You should benevolent enough to let me stay by her side" Arthur answer nonchalantly, at first he was afraid but there is nothing he can do about it because this is already happening

"And then you need to give me a good reason why I need to let you stay on my daughter's side?"

"You need me to protect her when your work time is over"

"Do you really think I need your help?"

"Witch Cult members and their archbishop is not your opponent, but they're still a tough opponent for Emilia. She is too naive and her kindness will be a double edge sword if her opponent is them, also as someone who is created by the Witch of Greed, Echidna, you must know a thing or two about Authority power"

After Arthur answer come out of his mouth the temperature around him and Puck is dropping at very fast rate "For someone who knows about me there are just two possibilities, the first is a great spirit and the second is a Witch Cult members" Puck look at Arthur sternly and it seems he is ready to launch an attack at any given moment

"You know it yourself if it was impossible for me to be a great spirit, and for the second possibility there is the blue hair little girl in the mansion who hate the scent of Witch so that's impossible for her to not notice it, the same with you because I think spirit can smell the Witch scent and you also know that every member of the Witch Cult have that kind of scent in their body's" because of the Lugunica Knight Suit Arthur didn't feel cold at all so he can still talk leisurely with Puck "What I can promise to you is, I will protect her as much as I can"

Puck stare at Arthur for quite sometime before he retracts his eyes and with that, the temperature between them turns to normal "Why not you say you will protect her with your life?"

"If I can't protect her from the enemy then I will just flee" there is no need for him to use his life to trade it with her safety, because as long as he is still alive then that's mean he can still protect her

"Then I will leave her at your hand when that time is come" Puck look at the coming Emilia before he whispers to Arthur "I hope you didn't hurt her and let's make this conversation a secret between us"

"Good morning, Puck, Arthur. I want to invite you for dinner last night but you already sleep" Emilia sit down and look at Arthur and Puck "What are you two talking about?"

"We're talking about how beautiful this morning is" Arthur stretch his body a little before lying on the grass and look at the clouds in the sky

"I think there is nothing different between today's morning and yesterday's morning though?" Emilia didn't understand what make he speak like that because as far as she remembers there is no difference between today and yesterday

"This is beautiful morning because we can talk leisurely and appropriating the beauty of the world when there is a lot of people out there who is struggling just to have something to eat for their empty stomach" Arthur close his eyes while he enjoying the gentle breeze

Emilia taken aback by Arthur's answer and she looks at the surrounding before she nodded her head "You're right, I need to feel very grateful for anything that I have and I need to work hard because I have a chance to change the fate and living conditions of the people in this kingdom for the better life and future"

"The road ahead of you will be very hard" with the corner of his eyes Arthur sees a resolute look on her face "Your opponent is someone from family with history that can be traced back to the time when this kingdom is created, another one is someone who starts from nothing and gains anything she wants because of her talent and another one is person who can be said as blessed by the world. Each of them has background and understanding about politics and economics of this kingdom far ahead of you, not to mention with your appearance and bloodline that will make it more difficult because the citizens will judge you by your appearance before anything else"

When she heard Arthur's word her little shoulder is trembling and she clenches her hand, Puck can't believe if Arthur will say something like that

"No matter how much difficulty I will encounter, this is the road that I choose and the road that I need to take, not just because I want to make this kingdom turn to better place but because I have my own objective" Emilia clench her hand before she answers confidently "I know there is a lot of people who hate me because of my appearance, but I will try my best to change how the way they see me with my own hand"

When she finished speaking she heard a clapping sound from Arthur who is standing without she know when he wakes up and he looks at her with a smile on his face

"It seems I didn't make a wrong choice to join your camp, I will ȧssist you in this royal election as much as I can. I want to see the end of this drama with my own eyes" after he said that he disappears from there

"He disappears? How he can do it?" Emilia open her eyes wide and lool around but she can't find him at all

"Hmmm... maybe this is some type of blessing? I didn't even feel there is magic being use when he disappears" Puck furrowed his brow and try to sense Arthur's presence but he can't feel it at all 'It seems my daughter rope in a quite strong person. Well, as expected from my daughter's charm'

Arthur decides to speak like that to Emilia not to belittling her or mocking her but because he needs to ensure Emilia he meets has the same character with Emilia in the anime. There is a time when he thinks to join another camp but after thinking it trough he decides to join Emilia camp.

For Crusch's camp, it can be said as the perfect camp. She is the head of the Karsten House and a Duchess on top of that and she is honest, sincere, right, being a type of person who is destined to stand above others and also what she sees in a person is not their outer appearance but their character that make her very charismatic in the eyes of her followers. And because her camp is perfect with a good fighter like Wilhelm, the best healer in the kingdom Felix and her as the head of the camp there is no place for him, or so that's what he thinks.

For Anastasia camp, well she is a good partner for trading as long as you can hold your advantage but for a subject and vassal relationships, Arthur thinks she is not the right choice.

For Priscilla camp? He thinks he can't stand for her personality, and for the soon to appear Felt's camp? There is the strongest sword saint at her side, except their goal is to dominate the world there is no need for him and Reinhard to stand in the same camp.

As for where he is gone? Just the corpse in the Elior forest who know it
