Chapter 481: Something Feels Off About Him

Arthur turned slowly to face her, his gaze unreadable. He didn’t respond.

Inside, though, his thoughts weren’t nearly as calm as his face suggested.

Stay focused. You made this rule for a reason. Don’t let her distract you.

But it was easier said than done.

Seeing her standing there, bright eyed, determined, looking like she actually wanted to be here, it shook something in him. Her anticipation for the day’s training, the quiet eagerness she carried, it chipped away at the discipline he had spent years perfecting.

Just a little.

But enough to make him feel it.

He couldn’t understand it.

Just under a year ago, his entire heart had belonged to his childhood best friend, pure, unwavering, loyal. And now... little by little, pieces of that same heart were slipping toward Nnenna.

It made him feel helpless. Unworthy of the love he had once carried so proudly. Disloyal to a memory that had shaped him.

But what could he do about it?

He didn’t have an answer. Not anymore.

"Let’s begin," he said simply, voice clipped and distant.

Nnenna paused, mid step, surprised by his tone. This version of Arthur... was even colder than usual. She hadn’t thought it possible. But there it was, a deeper chill in the air around him.

Still, she could tell something was off. His movements were sharp but not as fluid, his energy focused but oddly forced.

’Love System... what’s going on with Arthur?’ she asked internally as she bent forward into her first stretch.

’You know I can’t tell you that,’ the Love System replied smoothly.

’Since when do you keep things from me?’
