Duchess Amelia was dead sure that Hypertension was not something they had to worry about in their family.
But what was this right now?
She was positive she was either going to pass out from this or commit homicide—better yet, start a planetary war.
Her first thought was to brace for a story about how her son and this white-haired wolf met. Maybe a dramatic tale and a few cringeworthy moments.
But most definitely not this.
Certainly not her baby, starting from the very beginning, calmly explaining what it meant to be this thing called a "guide".
At first, it sounded like a good thing, especially after they heard about what kind of place this Tesseris was.
It was apparently plagued by dungeons similar to what they were dealing with now, which was precisely why Luca thought it would now be necessary to share this information.
That originally gave her hope.
That perhaps the story wouldn't be as terrible as the tension in her chest implied.
But the joke was on her.
On them.
