In one of gazebo Emilia sit in there with Arthur who standing with his back to her and just look aimlessly to the sky

"Can you tell me honestly, Arthur, do you know all of this will happen?"

Emilia have doubtful look on her eyes and also a hope..

"I\'m sorry..."

"You can\'t be..."

"I\'m sorry.."

"I, didn\'t need your apology, but may i know.. why?"

Emilia ask with trembling voice because she can\'t believe it if Arthur take a part in this whole thing. She believe in him and she hope this whole thing is a joke.

"I think ... it can help you to reach your dream... but i can\'t denied that because i have a selfish reason to "

"... but, if this problem is known to public then my chances to become a monarch is gone, are you already considering that? We\'re lucky the one who find it is Reinhard because he not like to share baseless stories but what about the other person?"

"I know.. i think we need to hear his thoughts first before we decide how to handle it"

"Why you didn\'t interfere from the time when that women attack me and Rem?"

"Because my selfish reason i can\'t appear from the start"

Emilia clench her small hands and ask Arthur carefully with calm tone

"Do you still do it, even if it will result in my death?"

"I will never let it happen!"

"Then that\'s fine"

"What?"

Arthur turn away and look to where Emilia sit and find she is looking to him with a gentle smile on her face and a relief look on her eyes.

"Why you-"

"I believe in you" Emilia stand up and walk to his front and place her hand on her ċhėst and said, "you\'re a good man, and i believe in you. I believe you don\'t want to do it but this is for my own sake so you must do it. Also i take a leason from this whole thing, how can i become a good ruler if i can\'t keep something that entrust to me? I think i just need to learn about politics to become a good ruler but now i understand.. i still need to learn a lot of things and in the process of learning i will come across several things i can\'t solve alone so when that time is come, will you stand by my side and help me?"

Seeing a bright smile on her face, Arthur close his eyes and make a new resolve in his heart before open his mouth and said "....thank you"

Maybe this is just an ordinary sentence, but to Emilia and Arthur this sentence mean a lot.

"Um! That\'s more like it, it\'s better to say thank you rather than sorry, but can i ask something as compensation to you?"

"It\'s very rare for you to want something from me so ofcourse you can"

"Can you promise me, to never leave me and protect me, and help me achieve my dream? Not like other candidates who have a strong background and support, i just have Roswaal alone as my supporter. And i didn\'t have experience to command people, i also lacking in term of understanding of the country, but. I didn\'t lose when it come to spirit for achieve my dream, if it something that can be learn then i will learn it! If it something that need me to experience it then i will do it! But.. I\'m just alone, so please lend me your hand... help me achieve my dream... i know.. i didn\'t have something to repay your kindness if you help me... but please.."

Emilia voice became small and her body is trembling but before she can continue what she wants to say, a finger gently laid on her mouth and stop her speech. Emilia turn up her head and with her wet eyes she can see a warm on his eyes.

Arthur put his arm on her shoulder and make their forehead touch each other and look straight to her eyes, they\'re very close to feel the other side breath.

"I, Arthur Spencer. In the name of my soul, I pledge my loyalty to Emilia. I will become your knight. I will become your shield that protect you from any harm, I will become your sword that slay your enemy that block your way to achieve your dream, I will become someone who always standing beside you no matter what happen, even if a whole world is turn to you, i will always standing beside you"

Arthur knelt on one knee and kiss her back hand , he didn\'t know about etiquette or whatnot but he is see in the drama if this is how knight pledge their loyalty to the princess.

Ofcourse it\'s his own fault because what he see is love drama, so he didn\'t know there is another way to achieve the same goal.

"It\'s late already, do you need me to escort you to your room?"

Arthur try to tease her but it\'s seem she didn\'t get it

"There is no need, it\'s not like someone wilm attack me on the mansion" replied Emilia with giggling "as you said it\'s late so you need also need to rest, good night Arthur "

"Yeah, good night, have a nice dream "

Arthur shrug his shoulders and replied her and didn\'t try to tease her again because this is really a hard day for her.

Arthur looking to the moon with new resolve in his heart

"This is my life now, i will do as i please and life without a regret "

^congratulations for complete the hidden achievements. Reward : achievement pack 1^

"Hidden achievements? This is the first time i get it , System what achievements i complete?"

Because this is his first time Arthur never knew there is something like hidden achievements so he ask the system.

But the answer never came and he know why is it like this.

"Damn, so you want to say because this is hidden achievements so the exact mission is also hidden even if i complete it already? Alright just open it for me"

"Fuck you! What the hell with all of those random card thing! Just said it as unreliable spirit card and unreliable discount card! And what problem with unknown! If the card is still in beta testing don\'t give it to me! I demand to return it!"

But his outburst is falling to deaf ears .

"Shit! Then i will use this random thing when my luck on the very high level "

Arthur walking along the corridor in the mansion

He planned to come back to his room and sleep but no matter what happen he can\'t feel asleep and when he is want to back to his room, one of the room is open with Emilia walk out on her pajamas

"What\'s wrong Arthur?"

"Nothing, i just want to walk around, maybe I have to much energy so i can\'t sleep "

"Do you want me to sing a lullaby for you?"

"Are you treat me as a child again, little miss?"

"It\'s you who treat me as a child! Let\'s go to your room! I wilm sing a lullaby for you! I order you as your lady, so as a knight you can\'t refuse me! Humph!"

"You can\'t do it, Emi.."

Arthur smile helplessly to her antics and following her to his room that just two room away from her room.

"Lie down in bed and pull up your quilt and make your body in comfortable position "

Even though Arthur didn\'t want to do it, he still following her instructions because he can see m, she is enjoying it.

Not long after, a humming voice is heard and filled the room, Emilia didn\'t let out a single word but her voice alone is very soothing and make Arthur heart become calm and slowly his eyelids feel heavy and no more than five minutes he is in deep sleep.

"Good night my knight, you\'re such bad knight, how can you make your lady singing a lullaby to make you sleep? You better work hard for me tomorrow "

Emilia looking to the sleeping knight oj the bed with a gentle smile on her face before she leave and close the door very slow afraid to wake him up.

"What a bad knight.. hehe"

Emilia giggling until she comeback to her own room to get her long awaited sleep.
