But suddenly the old man said something that made Arthur and Richard startled.
"How is your sister's condition?" he said.
The old man's question hung in the air, casting a shadow over the brothers' thoughts. They exchanged a look of confusion and concern, wondering how the elder could have known about their sister's condition.
"How did you know about our sister?" Richard asked, his voice hesitant.
The old man chuckled, "Oh, you are famous, didn't you know it? The spring hunt festival was a disaster, and there are many rumors and gossip circulating about your sister."
Arthur relaxed slightly at the Elder's explanation, but his suspicion grew when he realized that they had worn masks to conceal their identities.
How did the elders know their identity?
He turned to Gilbert with a fierce gaze, but he merely shrugged, infuriating Arthur further.
