Exposing Gabi II

Positioned strategically within the circle, Ethan directed his unwavering gaze towards the figures of the king and princess. 

The air was thick with anticipation, murmurs from the small crowd that had gathered resonating through the space. 

Amidst the growing tension, Gabi's face twisted with anxiety as she stole a quick sidelong glance at Ethan. Her mind raced, questioning the unfolding scene.

"What is happening here?" she muttered to herself, her voice tinged with confusion. "I thought I was simply here to provide a few answers. What in the world is that man doing here?".

Sensing Gabi's unease, Aiko stepped forward, her eyes darting between the king and Gabi, her expression serious and focused. There was an undeniable aura of determination emanating from her. "Shall we begin?" She proposed, her voice cutting through the surrounding commotion.
