Apologies

"I just don't understand how nothing could've happened!" Lusamine complained as she walked through the front door of the manor.

"We fed that gluttonous little tree ten humans!"

Eris was trailing behind her and smiled bitterly. 

'I wonder how she would react if I told her just how much more the tree actually needed.' She had to admit, when the qlipoth told her how many more humans it needed to feel satisfied, she was quite surprised herself. 

Such an exorbitant number was not something that could be easily acquired. 

"Oof!"

The dark elf was disturbed from her thoughts when she suddenly stumbled into the back of her friend who was frozen in shock. 

"Lusamine? What on earth is the matter with you?"

The succubus didn't answer and instead, Eris followed her gaze towards the top of the stairs. 

Zheng also popped out of Eris' shadow and all three simply stared in shock.
