Al had just stepped into the courtyard when his eyes immediately caught sight of his family. They were all gathered and sitting casually on the garden benches.
His parents were there, along with three of his sisters. And of course, David was among them, as well as Fani. Almost all of them had their gazes fixed on him from a distance, wearing expressions that seemed… somewhat unusual.
It felt as though some troublesome matter was already waiting for him the moment he arrived.
Al slowed his steps, his mind racing as he tried to analyze the situation.
"Why are they staring at me like that?" he muttered under his breath. "Is there going to be more drama again? Or… do they somehow know that the one earlier was me? Hm… but no, I doubt it. This is probably just about that kid's ego, wanting to get Yura."
His eyes moved across the group until they landed on the only person he could really trust there—Fani.
Fani noticed his gaze, yet she only looked away, pretending she hadn't.
