Holden abruptly returned to his senses and hastily exclaimed, “It’s Yehoshua. He was abroad for training, which concluded just yesterday. He’s downstairs now.”

“Yehoshua?” Elysia had always been aware of her four brothers, but she had never met Yehoshua. Nor had she ever inquired about him.

Now, upon hearing of his return, she inexplicably felt a hint of nervousness. The fearless Elysia, who had never been afraid of anything, found herself worrying whether Yehoshua would approve of her.

Noticing Elysia’s lack of reaction, Holden waved his hand in front of her face. “Elysia, are you alright?”

Snapped out of her reverie by Holden’s voice, Elysia replied, “It’s nothing. Let’s go see Yehoshua.”

“Of course,” Holden agreed.

Yehoshua noticed Elysia as well, and when their gazes met, they were momentarily rooted to the spot.

Yehoshua felt as though his feet were glued to the floor, unable to move. At that moment, Hugo rushed in from outside, exclaiming, “Do you really have to be in such a hurry?”

While they conversed, Hugo moved next to Yehoshua and observed that Yehoshua was intently gazing in a particular direction. Following his gaze, Hugo saw a girl who was both innocent and captivating.

No, it was more accurate to say she was charmingly innocent. She possessed an intriguing blend of innocence and allure. He had never encountered a girl like her before.
