Her mind screamed: 'SYSTEM!'

Heena's face had gone pale. She mechanically put the rice bowl down in front of the young man, then smiled at him briefly—a servant's polite smile—before turning around.
She roughly grabbed the System by his small form—to anyone watching, it would look like she was swatting away an invisible fly near her leg.
She brought the System close and hissed in her mind, "What the HELL is this?!"
The System looked equally surprised and said, "That's the villain! The eldest son I told you about!"
And when the System turned to actually look at the young man sitting at the table, even he was shocked into silence.
"That's... Host, that's—"
"LARUS?!" Heena's mental voice was almost a scream. "How is the previous world's NPC HERE?!"
