Just A Little More Time

"Bring Ezra Matten to me at once! I'll kill him myself."

Griffin roared.

"Yes, my love." Natalia answered at once, turning to leave. She shot a glance at X's position, her eyes sending a simple message.

'Guard him till I'm back.'

X almost scoffed. Guard him? He was the one who needed to be guarded from Griffin.

Griffin turned walking back to his throne, his steps heavy. 

Lilith stood there, her head bowed.

Griffin sat, stewing in the silence.

Moments like these were the ones that brought X some much needed joy. He always enjoyed watching Griffin suffer.

He silently blesses the day he met Ezra Matten. The man was the key to breaking his chains. He could it deep in his bones.

"You..." Griffin finally spoke, his full attention on the peacekeeper in front of him. 

X admired the lady's courage, not even flinching at the weight of his presence.

"Ezra came with a proposition for your captain, did he not?"
