Chapter 15: Conquests and Inexplicable Desires

“What do you think you’re doing, Rostrada?”

General Rostrada’s hand was suddenly gone from her throat and Elanor coughed, hunching over and trying to breathe.

Azzoth was standing there, gripping General Rostrada’s wrist tight and while she couldn’t see his expression she could see the tense draw of his shoulders, his fist balled against his thigh as if ready to fight.

She’d gotten complacent with how long she’d been inside Azzoth’s castle. There were many demons who hated humans enough, hated her enough, to try and kill her.

The Generals were the last demons she should trust, especially with how she held the title of Holy Maiden.

Yet…Azzoth had saved her…

Why?

Why did he enjoy making this harder for her? Just when Elanor thought she was starting to understand him he had to go and pull something like this. Why was she so reassured staring at his back? Like she was safe.
