An Execution?

Tiara sat down in front of Arthur, her body shaking as she listened. Arthur was granting her something that only he could see, which might change her life. However, Arthur's face didn't change. His expression was still flat.

"You seem unimpressed."

"This is not the first time I received Lyari's words. I met him once before, and he tried to act as my friend just the same." Arthur placed down the letter, which still had left of it unread. "I hate that."

"You were indeed friends until what happened between the two of you."

"Then, we are no longer friends. His feelings are nothing I relate to since I never betrayed someone dear to me." Arthur then paused. "Maybe I have; I don't know."

Arthur remembered Mistletoe, who wanted to infiltrate the ruins of Runera. However, at that time, Arthur didn't wish for them to meet because he didn't know that many things had happened between them.
