[A Week Later, The Evening]

(At El Fer's Mansion, In the Garden)

The knight and the boy fighting eachother with swords. Even though it was just a training, no one could believe that fact because of the duo's intense mode. Just then, a maid clapped louthly and interrupt the fight

El Fer : Time's up, boy. This is enought for today.

The boy sat down on the ground

George : It must be. If not, I'll die in next few minutes.

The knight laugh

El Fer : Don't worry boy. I won't kill you unless King order me to. Hahaha.

George : I see...what a terrible joke.

El Fer : Dinner was ready. Wanna join?

George : Thanks but I have to go. There's plenty of work waiting at home.

El Fer : Your uncle's work?

George : Yes, he need my help.

El Fer : I see.

George : Then, excuses me.

The boy walked away. After some seconds, the boy in noble clothes walked toward the knight. Noticing the presence, the knight start talking without turning around

El Fer : Finished studying, Albert?

The boy surprised

Albert : How did you know it was me without turning around?

El Fer : Don't answer my question with a question, Albert. That's not how a noble should act.

The boy panic a little

Albert : I'm sorry. I have finished studying.

El Fer : Now, why are you here?

Albert : I've heard that you're giving personal training to certain boy at my age. And I'm just curious who would get that kind of special treatment.

El Fer : Who told you about this?

Albert : Ohh... umm... it was just someone...

El Fer : Princess Charlotte, right?

Albert : Wha... no! That's not her.

El Fer : I see. It's not surprising. But...

The knight turned around and looked to the boy

El Fer : Why don't you ask yourself first "why Princess Charlotte didn't know about the whole thing?".

Albert : Umm... is that because it was secret?

El Fer : What make a secret?

Albert : An important fact that only certain people know.

El Fer : Then, you must know that you shouldn't come here at this hour.

Albert : But, I want to know. Father said you only train people who have chance to surpass you. As your student, I want to know what kind of boy got my teacher's attention.

El Fer : Listen Albert....sometimes, not knowing was the better. You won't get peace after knowing everything. Is your resolve strong enough to bear the burden?

The boy shocked

Albert : (Why is he that serious? Is this really a big deal? Charlotte didn't say anything like that though)

Seeing the boy's reaction, the knight sigh

El Fer : He's just a commoner boy who's chasing after his life goals. But also a realist with strong mental. He's dangerous, stay away from him as much as you can.
