Chapter 96: Meanwhile...

Meanwhile back at the demon lord's castle. Maximus entered the throne room with a woman in a ripped-up dress and an elder lion man. He tossed them both on the floor at the feet of the demon lord.

"Welcome to my palace, honored guests." The demon king said smugly. "You were quite difficult to track down, but we did in fact find you. You mother of heroes. How does it feel to have a daughter that is a vicious queen that is killing her own kingdom or a son that is off trying to save the world?"

Elenore just looked up at him with a defiant look on her face. Leon was unconscious on the floor, still laying where Maximus threw him.

"So, you don't want to talk to me." The demon lord said. "That's fine, you don't have to talk. You just need to be here, as a bargaining chip for your son. I doubt he will do anything that will cause his mother pain."

Elenore just continued her defiant stare.
