Chaos Girl Rewrites the Script novel Chapter 457

In the end, The Black Room competition was scheduled for the weekend, three days away.

When the three boys left the Main Hall, they were caught in a swirl of conflicting emotions.

The path back to their respective wings started in the same direction, leading to a rare moment where all three walked together in absolute silence.

As they passed the Lakeheart Gazebo, Dorian and Leander stepped out. This was the only way back to the rear courtyard, so the two men were clearly lying in wait.

Julian felt a twinge of disgust. He threw a cold glance at Leander and offered a reluctant greeting. "Uncle Dorian."

Alaric's expression remained indifferent. "Uncle Dorian, Uncle Leander."

Cyril, perfectly well-mannered as always, smiled faintly. "Dad, Uncle Leander."

Dorian nodded, his gaze sweeping over the three boys. Just as he was about to speak, Alaric beat him to it. "I have something to take care of. Excuse me."

Without waiting for Dorian to respond, he stepped away and headed toward the covered walkway.

Suppressing his annoyance, Dorian turned to Cyril with a smile. "Cyril, take a walk with me?"

Cyril nodded.

Leander spoke up. "Julian, let's..."

Before he could finish, Julian rolled his eyes at Cyril, shoved his hands into his pockets, and walked away. Leander's face darkened, his fists clenching, but ultimately, he resigned himself and hurried after his son.

As Alaric passed through the Trellis Gate, his footsteps suddenly faltered. He turned around, his gaze piercing through the intricately carved wooden lattice to silently watch the two pairs of fathers and sons bathed in the moonlight.

Wesley followed Alaric's gaze. "Sir, are you missing your father?"

Alaric shifted his eyes and stared wordlessly at Wesley.

Wesley lowered his head and silently put on his sunglasses.

After a brief silence, Alaric turned and resumed his walk back into the Obsidian Estate.
