Chapter 38

"Moving again, I tried the lonely slope-

my firm foot was always the one below."

?Dante Alighier, Inferno

Cyril's warning left me slightly on edge. He was right-my encounter with two demons back in February should have triggered a certain chain of events, but I'd failed to report that incident. Now the head of the faction had a valid reason to keep an eye on me. On top of that I was closely linked to royals. Everyone knew that Lucifer liked eliminating demons that were considered a threat, an unnecessary risk. Maybe Rodriguez was afraid that I was ready to influence Arthur and other royals against the faction order. Either way, from then on I really had to watch my back.
