Theo's anger flares again.
Why does Arthur always put himself forward as a shield?When will Thea learn to be strong and handle her own problems?
I need to teach these two clowns a lesson.
Theo keeps smiling, looking perfectly normal to anyone watching. But beneath that calm exterior, he releases an extreme wave of cold toward both the Baroness and Arthur. The chill seeps through fabric and skin alike, biting deep, like dry ice pressed directly against bare flesh.
Both the Baroness and Arthur react instantly, shocked as if struck by electricity. They jerk away from each other, stumbling backward.
Theo moves fast. He catches the Baroness before she can fall.
"Your Ladyship, are you alright?"
Liam reacts just as quickly, grabbing Arthur before he stumbles any farther back.
"Arthur, you okay?"
The Baroness blinks several times, her expression tightening with embarrassment. This is the second time today she has been caught completely off guard.
