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.
