"Brat? You sure it's not you at the lake?" Hesbeirn asked.
"Yes, yes… it's not me. Alf already made sure I won't slip out of the estate. If you don't trust me, talk to one of the maids here." Javier said calmly.
"Hah! If you're going to try using Liana or Gloria's voice, I'll know." Hesbeirn snickered.
Javier sighed and signaled one of the maids to come closer. "Talk to this huge big guy, please."
"Hmm? Who is this, Prince Javier?" the maid asked.
Hesbeirn, on the other end, exhaled. "Alright… fine. Since if you were at the lake, there's no way I'd leave you alone, or I'd have a problem with your father later. Or even my sister Erinnette."
"I know, Uncle. Just fall back. Tell everyone to return to the estate and keep clear of the lake. This is going to get… messy."
"Hmm? How messy?"
"Don't know yet. Hydra meat is supposed to be exotic, a real delicacy… but the toxic blood is the problem."
