501 Everything Will Be Better

Arc 6: Curse of the Royal Tribulation

"I cannot believe this." Gilbert's voice rang as the carriage moved forward. His voice rose and fell slightly. 

Thales sat across from him while he leaned against the carriage. He stared at his teacher. They had been separated for six years. He had mixed feelings about their current reunion as well. 

"I still remember how you were still a child when we parted six years ago, young Sir."

Besides his slightly excited breathing, Gilbert's posture and way of conduct was still appropriate for his status, and he was as elegant as ever. He looked like he was the epitome of how a noble should be. 

Thales shrugged and smiled. "Maybe I was not just a child."

"Of course." Gilbert gave a knowing smile. "You are, naturally, not just a child. But look at you now." Gilbert stared at him closely. He felt relieved and emotional as he sized Thales up, unable to control himself.
