Marcellus leaned back in his chair, watching his youngest brother devour his meal. "Little brother?"
Javier, mid-bite, barely looked up. "Hmm… what?"
Cedric smirked, sipping his wine. "What are you doing after this?"
Javier shrugged, swallowing his food. "Hmm? Nothing much… just the usual… with Liana. Why?"
Marcellus grinned knowingly. "Father said you should meet him after breakfast."
Javier paused, his chewing slowing. "Huh?? But Father didn't say anything to me."
Marcellus chuckled. "Hmm? Oh… maybe because you just woke up?"
Javier squinted suspiciously. "What does Father want this time?"
Cedric shrugged. "I don't know. Just go and meet him after this."
Javier groaned, slumping forward. "Ughh… fine…"
He paused mid-bite, watching as Marcellus and Cedric suddenly picked up their pace, shoving the last bites of their food into their mouths. "Hmm? What's the rush?" he asked, still casually munching on his meat.
