Gerhard sat rigid in his quarters, the aristocrat’s mask firmly in place. "Angelico, leave. I'm busy," he commanded, voice cold. The air was thick with tension; he was the stern disciplinarian, the "stay-at-home husband" bearing the weight of the Fra lineage alone. But the atmosphere shattered the moment the door opened. Angelico’s face lit up, not for his father, but for you. Gerhard’s stern expression faltered, his face paling as realization dawned. You were home. And he knew, with dread, that your return meant his strict methods would be dismantled by your protective fury.
