Meanwhile, outside the meeting room…
Near the sealed door, Javier slumped in his chair with arms crossed in frustration. Liana and Gloria sat beside him, looking far more composed.
"What's taking them so long?" Javier groaned, leaning back.
"Young Master…,"
"What? It's been over three hours! I'm starving!"
Gloria smiled. "But Madam Francesca already invited you to the banquet hall."
Javier scoffed. "And leave this spot? Get nagged by Father for wandering off? No way!"
Liana and Gloria chuckled, amused by his predicament.
Javier, still slouched in his chair, glanced around in boredom. His eyes landed on the two beastkin guards standing near the door—both tall, muscular, and serious.
A mischievous grin crept onto his face.
"Oho~ Yo, rabbit guy!" Javier called out.
One guard, a rabbit beastkin , twitched in confusion. "R-Rabbit guy?"
"Yeah, you! Flex your muscles for me!"
