Breaking Noah's Heart

Sagittarius's eyes widened as she heard Clypeus's words. Even the other hellhounds growled and nudged at the children who didn't know what to do. Their eyes folded, and their heads lowered as they moved backward away from the group. The witches were all shocked as they watched some of their familiars be shunned by the other demons. Then again, weren't these hellhounds supposed to be fighting for their race to the end?

Why did Clypeus choose to protect his master and the broken coven that his own demon race?

Actually, when they stood there, Pollo was sending messages to Clypeus. The hellhound king was actually going to fight with the commanders, and he wanted Clypeus to help Sagittarius hide herself and her children. However, learning the reason that Sagittarius was responsible for forcing the sloth demons to seek revenge angered him. He didn't want Pollo to be killed while he fled like a coward. Sagittarius ended up paying for her crimes instead.
