I slow down my steps as I start to reach Ara's door.
... I wonder if she's still even here...
I suck in my breath before knocking three times on her door.
...
Silence ensues. I knock again, this time with a little more force.
...
Even more silence. As I was about to knock for the fifth time, the door slowly opens to reveal a tall man in a dress suit.
"Hello, princess, are you looking for Ara?" He asks, opening the door further to let me in.
"Yes, is she here today? I heard she's been busy lately, trying to find that Donghae sword."
"She is not here today, she is currently venturing the rest of the tower to find her sword."
I sigh, sitting down in her living room. I expected as much, she's usually very busy anyways. I had at least hoped that I would be able to see her again today.
"Would you like me to inform her that you are here?" He asks.
I think for a bit, "No, it's fine. I don't want to bother her any further. It was nice seeing you again, Yuji. Goodbye now."
I get up and head for the door, Yuji following behind me.
"Understood, princess. Please come back again, I am sure Princess Arie would like to see you again as well."
I look back and give a small smile before turning around. I hear the door behind me close and I start to head for Aguero's house.
Maybe Aguero knows where that sword is, he's such a know-it-all after all.
"Oh, whatever! I don't need that brat's help anyways. I'll stop by Aguero's house and leave after," I tell myself. "If it's taking Ara this long to find it, then I might as well step in to help."
