บท 155: Demands!

"It really is you then?" Sonja asked tentatively as she tried to make sense of his new visage. 

"Who else would it be?" Kace gave her a condescending glance. He had to try and start this talk off from a position of power. He could not afford to be put on the back foot at all. 

The surrounding vampires were not stupid enough to attempt another assault right now. It was better for the queen to test the waters. So far, Kace had not been aggressive towards them. He had defended himself. How could they blame him for doing something that they would have done themselves if they were suddenly attacked?

Sonja raised her hand to tell the others to stand down, Kace could not help but smile when she made this action. It meant that she had taken a step back in dealing with him. Showing that she was willing to talk and possibly negotiate. Little did she know that she had already provided him with the opening that he needed.
