And that's also the reason why Louis sought out Arthur today.
In the past days, when his mind was overwhelmed by huge surprises, when Louis looked back, he suddenly realized that he might have been too harsh in his refusal of the old officer's suggestion that night.
He didn't want to create a rift with Arthur, even though this old officer now seemed not very useful.
He wanted to maintain this friendship, not just out of interest, and not just due to his mother's teachings, but also partly because of his character.
He is a very nostalgic person.
Louis couldn't exactly be considered an outgoing person, so he didn't have many friends. Although one was born in the Palace of Versailles and the other in a pigsty in Yorkshire, in over two years in London, he and Arthur had lived through life and death together and had received much care from this officer.
