It was an interesting find, but it didn't seem so important that the history buff Holly would be this ecstatic about it And it was only once he began thinking like this that his eyes skipped to the next line, then it all made sense

"Well would you look at that" Arthur said with an impressed tone in his voice

The next line on the plaque ists responsible for its extraction just so happened to be Holly's parents He nohy she was acting like this, of the dozen or so cannons that they extracted, one of them just so happened to land in the lap of soured it wouldn't have been that big of a coincidence His own fa before Arthur and Holly started going to school together, and if this were before the estrangement, that meant that Maria's family could have also been rather close as well

Still, Arthur liked that Holly found happiness in seeing traces of her parents in the most unexpected of places, due to their line of work they rarely ever came home, so she had to savour little encounters like this

They had left her alone for most of her life in search of exploration and adventure And in her later years, Holly finally ad as sohter

Even though her own house was more like a national museum with how many relics were stored inside of it, it wasn't the sa their name in public When she saw the relics at home, she was just re but a place to store things they didn't want, including her

Maria and Arthur lead the next conversation for a while, Maria ardener is here Their conversation was abruptly stopped when Holly pointed out that Arthur's hand was bleeding

"Oh, that's weird, Iearlier" Arthur looked at his right hand with a confused expression

Instead of focusing on so Arthur about the life he lived Arthur began explaining that the earlier parts of his life were just a blur for him, but he remembered that his father never came home, and he was taken care of by various servants instead, especially Donovan He then told her that his father suddenly started paying more attention to his family after an incident occurred that al about several s that happened in his life He noticed that Donovan's car had arrived, it flen the street, stopping once it reached the large parking space they parked in earlier
