Stoking A Flame One Can't Afford to Put Out (End)

After passing through the Portal, Aurelia and Millonia were greeted by the silent confrontation Layland had with the seven Demon King's Generals. They were pinning their gaze on Layland, but no one commented. Lemius and Velucan were looking at Layland neutrally whereas Holcio, Tiatus and Alvina were looking at him disapprovingly. Jovenus and Bacchus were merely looking at him curiously.

"Wipe that displeasure off your face, runt. You are going to have an audience with our Liege," Tiatus reprimanded with a low growl.

Millonia didn't like Tiatus' condescending tone but agreed with him. Layland was not in a good mood. He had to reign over his rage, lest he would challenge Ilschevar for his throne. It would be a disaster no one wanted to see. Layland merely glanced at Tiatus, paying no mind to his words. He walked past all of the Demon King's Generals as if they weren't even there.
