"Ethan, have you noticed that Mr. Carter has been acting a little strange?" Ethan frowned as he recalled the odd behavior he had picked up on earlier.
"Strange?"
Isabella was momentarily stunned. She furrowed her delicate brows, looking uncertain. "Now that you mention it, I have felt like something's off with my father these past couple of days… but I can't quite put my finger on why."
"Is that so?"
Ethan's eyes flickered with thought, as if piecing something together.
"Miss, Lord Valkarion—"
A voice suddenly interrupted them. Isabella turned toward the source and was immediately surprised.
"Uncle Nightfall? What are you doing here?"
"I…" Nightfall hesitated, as if struggling with his words. But in the end, he gritted his teeth and handed Ethan a recorded video.
"Lord Valkarion, you need to see this."
