Chapitre 58: 57: The alternate route

“Princess, you are finally back. Lord Clement is waiting inside for you” The royal advisor welcomed Neah back. He was a fragile old thing and looked ready to meet his end any day soon.

But Neah knew better than to underestimate him. His sharp snake-like eyes betrayed the orientation of his true origins.

This was a demon who had stayed in the human world longer than any Neah had known before. He had also been the one who had made it possible for Neah to meet her demon.

This man was a mystery and also someone who held a lot of influence inside their court. Why such a man had chosen Neah over her brother though, remained a mystery to Neah.

“I see. I will go and have a chat with him. Can you handle the court in the meantime?” Neah’s voice was coated with respect. The elderly had all but raised her for the past few years. He had allowed her to bloom into a warrior capable of respect.

Neah owned a lot to him.
