After a moment, Javier smiled, sat up, and glanced around.
Well…
I guess since everything is finished…
I'll head out to my personal workshop. Since Liana and the others are called by Mother.
Javier stood up, dusted off his pants, and took one last look around the office.
These two days weren't that bad after all.
Alright, time to leave.
He walked toward the door and opened it, only to freeze and stiffen.
Garius was standing not too far from the door, with Mylezra at his side. Hesbeirn and Gilmon stood a respectful distance away, their eyes carefully averted, barely contained their amusement.
"Ah! Esteemed Father!" Javier stood straight and bowed.
"Mm." Garius nodded, both hands clasped behind his back. "Having fun talking alone inside the office?"
Javier's forehead broke out in a cold sweat. He felt the weight of his father's gaze, and the Eyes of Truth seemed to see right through his earlier impersonation.
Did he… hear?
