Archibald was initially thrilled to hear that John was coming to see him.
However, his excitement turned to surprise when he spotted Amelia and Isabella beside him, and he quickly pulled John aside.
"Brother, I'm really happy you're visiting my place, but why did you bring this she-devil along?"
Archibald whispered cautiously, glancing nervously at Isabella standing nearby, his voice fading to a near whisper.
Everyone knew Isabella of House Medici was famously tough!
If it were just her aloof nature and reluctance to speak with others, that could be overlooked—after all, many geniuses tended to be temperamental.
But this lady was different.
The slightest displeasure could prompt her to take action!
Being a fire-based mage with a volatile temper, frankly, there were very few in the entire Imperial Capital who dared cross her.
Isabella gave Archibald a cool look, causing him to shiver involuntarily, then force a dry laugh.
