"Stop following me!" Asher yelled, his patience running thin. He had let it slide for too long because she had done a lot for him.  But now she was everywhere, suffocating him. 

"I’m only trying to protect you," she responded.

"Yes, we have no choice. We've been ordered to serve them. The demon kings expect everything to be perfect."

Asher's ears sharpened. 'The demon kings are meeting... right now.'

The first maid spoke again, her voice barely above a murmur. 'It's been a strange day. You know, with Demon King Zagan lashing out earlier... If not for that, this meeting wouldn't have needed to be postponed."
