#17: HIS COLDNESS

....

While Tio and Minerva continued to argue, Lilith remained silent and drank her milk while listening to them. Lilith wishes to stop them, but she lacks the necessary strength.

On the other hand, Colt was approaching the old house, which he owned, with Lilith, Tio, and Minerva inside. Colt's presence was inaccessible to them.

Colt's frigid voice reverberated across the living room, "Stop, you two."

Both Tio and Minerva were taken aback and closed their mouths. They had not anticipated Colt's unexpected appearance, and Minerva had not detected Colt's presence.

Colt stood straight at the doorway, commanding, "Tio, Minerva, go to the living room now, and you, Lilith, go back to your room."

Tio and Minerva rushed out of the kitchen, while Lilith walked slowly out of the kitchen until Colt grabbed her wrist and brought her to a halt.<
