Chapter 62: Look, New Problems

I settled myself down into the chair, and then Perita handed me another cup of tea on a saucer this time. I thanked her and smiled up at her and got a smile that felt like it was almost going to blow the clothes off my body, but then she turned and sat down.

"So, I know that you all probably don't see men very much, and all, but can we get to the part where you all tell me what the hell is going on? I get the demon part and the farms, kind of, and now I am slowly starting to put together why Nixi has kept you all locked in here with her. The part that I don't understand right now is why the secret from Mex and Nushi?" I asked, and Perdita is the one that spoke up again.

"Demons of higher ranks can read the mind of lower-ranked demons," is all that Perdita said.

I blinked, and then everything made sense; like a wall of fog had been lifted, I started to put the pieces together.
