Chapitre 233: Everyone Knows

Arthur had become a familiar figure in the village of Carran. Every time he visited, the villagers began to recognize him as "friend" who often came to see Kalea. Initially, no one suspected anything. Arthur always casually answered the villagers' questions, saying he was just Kalea's friend. The people of Carran accepted this explanation with smiles and nods, without suspicion. However, over time, Arthur's regular presence, along with Kai's openness to letting Kalea stay at his house, began to raise questions in the minds of some villagers.

They knew Kai was a good man, raised by a warm and generous family. Even though his parents had passed away, they were known to be kind and influential in the village. Both of their children, Ilene and Kai, inherited these good traits.
