Arthur's smile faded slightly.
Scarlett Glenn gently tugged at Ethan Herd from behind. Since she didn't plan to fall out with Arthur right now, they should maintain the facade of their relationship.
Ethan responded with a light smile, "Of course, I believe that the friendship between Mr. Arthur and Scarlett Glenn is unbreakable. Yesterday Scarlett Glenn told me that you and she are friends bonded through life and death. I wonder, does Mr. Arthur understand what we in Country M mean by a bond through life and death?"
"This... I'm not too clear on that, please could Mr. Herd explain it to me?"
Ethan took Scarlett Glenn's hand and said, "What we call a bond through life and death means... being willing to give up one's own life for the other. This is even a kind of friendship that surpasses love. Yesterday when Scarlett Glenn mentioned it, I was really very envious of you. You are the first man to make me envious, yet still... helpless."
