THE KINGDOM OF HUMANS, JEZA

“Oh? You’re back Duchess Byrant? I almost didn’t see you.” the mage said to her with disgust in his face.

“Heh, such an extravagant welcome, don’t tell me you were expecting me to perish like some fool?” she taunted.

“Ha, I guess not even a damn demon lord can kill you.” he said as he eyed Sargon who was glaring back at him. The mage spat on the floor, “Make haste, the king awaits.” he said as he left followed by the troops that came with him.

“Something tells me, you’re not very well liked.” Sargon said to her as she frowned a bit.

“Haha, was it that obvious?” She tried to hide the sorrow behind her eyes.

Sargon stared at her, even though they didn't share a drop of blood, he didn’t like the way she was treated. He glanced out at the mages who were escorting the tower.

“Emily, are you being bullied?” he asked as she flinched,

“I … don’t know what you’re talking about.” she kept facing forward.
