"What are you doing here? Where are the others?"
As Lucien returned to the room they were in before, after sending Sera away, he saw that his mother, Lilith, and Liora were nowhere to be seen.
Instead, only his father and, surprisingly, his grandfather Malcolm were talking and sipping tea in a relaxed mood.
"Are you done?"
However, in return to his query, what he got was a deadpan look from his father, Cedric, clearly in faint anger.
After all, Lucien did scold him before. How could he not be angry?
He wasn't already standing up and beating Lucien thanks to Malcolm.
"Cough... Dad, I was just joking that time. Don't take my words to heart."
Lucien coughed awkwardly, seeing Cedric getting angry at him, and didn't know what to say.
He couldn't say that his father arrived at the worst possible time, causing him to get angry, right?
"Joking? Do you think I am stupid?"
