Chapter 422: Fiendish Reunion

Kat PoV

The Countess took us over towards the kitchens, dismissing the rest of the servants and having a few of the Banshee's follow behind us just in case, as well as Lexa and Lexi, the twin human girls.

Mother remained at my side the entire way, her arms wrapped around mine as she asked me mundane questions - how was I feeling, did I eat right when I was away, did I sleep well...

Things that, on any other day, would be extremely minor questions that could end up being slightly annoying, but today...

After finally getting to see her after who knows how many days, weeks or even months...

It was... refreshing and rather emotional to answer, the two of us speaking quietly as we traversed the all too familiar halls of the Asmodia Mansion.

Being surrounded by her familiar scent and warmth, while her voice sounded almost the same as she spoke to me - albeit a little shaky - and each and every other small thing about her just filled me with joy.
