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.
