Chapter 674: The Smilling Blight Arrives
Skulky was staring at his mistress, Eve, those flickering green orb-like eyes shining in confusion.
They were currently standing on the roof of a towering building that overlooked the Royal Island.
Eve’s expression was emotionless, and although it felt as if she was looking in the direction of the castle, her gaze was blank, only reflecting the ongoing battle in the distance.
The protective barrier was up, and an army of demons and members of the Flaming Rose were actively fighting to take it down, unaware that their main target had already fled the capital.
Skulky’s orb-like eyes flickered between the chaos and that of his master, his thoughts unknown for a while.
After a moment of looking back and forth, he eventually spoke, a hint of hesitation in his voice.
"Mistress," the skeleton butler said, "if I may ask, why did you allow them to escape?"
Eve continued to stare into the distance.
Skulky looked at his mistress, the indifferent Fae, his mind racing with thousands of thoughts.
When the flying golden carriages had left, there hadn’t been any powerful demons standing by. The reason for this was because Eve had requested to be the one to oversee the attack on the castle that day.
Yet even after seeing the carriage move, she had not even made an attempt to chase it or order the demons with flying capabilities to go after it.
