"Let's go talk somewhere else!" Bella said in one quick sentence before flapping her wings and lifting Aengus into the sky.
Bella's heart was far from calm. If she hadn't been there at the right time, she wouldn't have believed that Aengus had reached Elder Demon rank in such a short period of time. It was unbelievable. If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes she would have never believed it.
It had taken her years of hard work to achieve what he had done so quickly. She had a growing sense of foreboding that Aengus was slipping out of her control, and she wanted to test him.
Her subordinates didn't follow after receiving her instructions to leave them alone.
Aengus could feel Bella's inner turmoil as she held him tightly against her chest, but he remained silent.
He realized this might be the moment to clarify everything between them once and for all.
