"Princess?" Raylen called out to Emily, his voice filled with gentleness as he noticed her wheezing. He set her down on the ground, allowing her to lean against the wall. "You crossed the line, Nathaniel," he said, turning his gaze on his fellow archdemon.

Raylen's eyes narrowed, displeased with the words that Nathaniel spat. He remarked, "I don't think you are thinking clearly anymore, because there is no union between the two of you. Have you forgotten that you rejected her and chose Layla as your soulmate?"
