Chapter 85: Ten Moves [Golden Ticket Bonus]
Theron didn’t seem to react much to the words, but Oxon blinked so rapidly you’d think she might accidentally dry her eyes out. Her eyes bounced back and forth between Theron and Thessa.
"Oh my, Little Theron. Don’t tell me you have something going on with the princess consort? That’s so dangerous, you bad boy. I could swear I smell jealousy in the air."
A flash of murderous rage sparked in Thessa’s eyes. It seemed as though she might lash out at any moment.
"I would be careful with your words, Oxon."
Theron didn’t say anything other than that, but his implication was clear.
The last people to say such things about the princess consort ended up dead. And unlike them, Oxon wasn’t supposedly best friends with this princess consort at all. She’d have even less qualms about killing her.
There wasn’t even the slightest hint of sarcasm in Theron’s voice, and it sounded like he said it very seriously. Honestly, there wasn’t the slightest hint of a fault to find against him. Even if there had been a noble of substantial power here, it was doubtful that even they would dare to act on this much alone.
But that didn’t stop Oxon from quickly covering her mouth like a giddy little girl, or from flames sparking in Thessa’s hair.
"… I thought you were much better than this," Thessa said with a seething heat in her voice.
