Arthur: But, I'm a stranger!

Avalon: No! You're not! Since we met in Darius's room, I've always wanted to know you. Come, ok? (Leaves happily) Darius would be there, too!

Arthur: (tears up.) What are these? Why do I feel so strange just now?

Scene 8: Alone inside the Room

Arthur: (Calls his master on phone) Master...

Master: Why did you call?

Arthur: Avalon Koizumi invited me in a banquet. Darius Kingsley would be there. Should I come?

Master: Avalon Koizumi? Who is she?

Arthur: She's a young sister of Thomas Koizumi and it seems she trusted me so quickly. She didn't even suspected me in anything.

Master: You should, Arthur. Kill her, too, if you must. You seem to be changing. You seem happy that she invited you. That's not how I trained you. Killing is your way of life. An assassin is devoid of emotions. Be careful around her. Don't slack off!

Arthur: Forgive me, master but what should I do? Why do I have to kill them? They're good people!

Master: Aren't you displaying disobediance, slave? I gave you my name, power and comfort! Show me your loyalty, Arthur! Poison her! (Ends call)

Arthur clutched his phone hard and looks at the room.

Arthur: (tears up.) Why, her? WHY HER!!!!! Who owns the eyes of the person whom I keep remembering whenever I see her?!

(Lights dim)

Darius enters his room after a few minutes and is surprised to see him looking at the picture where him and Ava were together.

Darius: Why are you looking at it?

Arthur: She's mysterious. She's beautiful and elegant. Don't you agree with me?

Darius: You're more of the mysterious one than her.

Arthur: I can't explain why I feel happy whenever I see her.

Darius: (Looks at him) You're in-love with her!

Arthur: But that's impossible! We've only met twice!

Darius: Love knows no boundaries, Arthur. Its called love at first sight. Well, most people don't believe in it. I don't know about you. Truthfully, Avalon can really make people attached to her so easily just because they saw her beautiful, mesmerizing eyes.

Arthur: But, I can't love her... What about you?

Darius: Nah. I look at her as a younger sibling. We grew up together, you know? Why can't you love her? She's single and she doesn't actually makes friends that much with men. You're different, though. She has too many suitors but its only you that made her so much interested.

Arthur: What should I do?

Darius: Just, let go of those feelings and examine if its actually love and not just curiousity.

Arthur: Thanks.

Scene 9: Banquet

Thomas: (Looks at her daughter) You truly are wonderful, my dear daughter.

Avalon: Really, father? I'm so happy!

Thomas: You know that this is your coming of age ceremony, right?

Avalon: Father?

Thomas: I just can't believe that my daughter's an adult, already!

Avalon: Father! I'm not marrying anyone yet!
