Another shocking news struck, and Holden began questioning his sanity, sure he had not misheard. He thought, ‘Elysia is the master of Arcanum House? So when I said the master was moody earlier, was I talking about Elysia?

‘No wonder they gave me that look. Never mind, I retract my words–Elysia isn’t moody. Her character is great, truly delightful.

‘But since Fabian and Javier are already at the entrance of the Arcanum House, just one door away from Elysia, why don’t they go in?‘

Holden glanced at them, raising an eyebrow slightly. “Were you guys kicked out?”

Seeing them say nothing and looking a bit down, Holden understood immediately and burst out laughing. “Kicked out, huh? I figured there was a reason you didn’t go in.”

Javier’s hand lifted again, but this time he didn’t use much force, just gave a light pat. “If you think you’re so capable, just make sure you don’t get kicked out like we did.”

“Well, there’s no way I’ll get kicked out,” Holden declared and then stepped up to knock on the wooden door.

About a moment later, the door creaked open slightly, and Alyce poked her head out. Her eyes scanned the two people standing there before fixing on Holden, her tone unfriendly. “What do you want?”

Holden was momentarily at a loss for words, then paused before finally saying, “I’m looking for Elysia.”

Alyce gave him another look, raising an eyebrow. “From the Evans family?”

“Yeah, I’m Holden,” he quickly waved his hands, sensing the tension, and added, “Don’t get me wrong. I’m just a friend of Elysia.

Holden glanced at the two people at the door, lowered his voice, and said, “I’m not like those two at the door. If you don’t believe me, inform Elysia. She’ll meet me.”

Alyce nodded. “Wait here.”

At the small courtyard, Elysia was still sitting at the stone table, sipping coffee with Elena. “Boss, there’s Holden outside saying he’s your friend.”

“Holden?” Elysia’s eyebrows furrowed a bit, and then she asked, “Have the two from the Evans family left?”

“No, they’re still at the door,” Alyce replied.

Elysia nodded. “Tell them I was very clear. They shouldn’t waste their time and should go back early.”
