The Crown's Fire

Instead of going back to where Ebodian soldiers currently stood, Tarah headed to another direction with her horse. She only pulled the reins when she felt that she was far enough from Ezekiel.

After dismounting, she closed her eyes and took a deep breath.

From what she knew, the Tophet Bloodchain spell, which Devon cast on her, allowed her to communicate with Devon whenever she wanted, just like how it was supposed to give a way for him to communicate with her through her subconscious mind.

Thankfully, luck seemed to be on her side since the spell didn’t work on Devon’s end. To the demon king’s great dismay, he was unable to communicate with her.

At the time, she rejoiced deep inside when she saw Devon enraged like a madman due to the failure of his spell. Although she had been tortured for a day because of it, it was nothing compared to the peace of mind she got from knowing that he wouldn’t be able to reach and torment her once she was by Ezekiel’s side.

However, unlike her, the spell still worked with her little brother. If she ever said a thing against Devon, Levi would feel pain in his body in her stead. There were even times when her little brother got sick just because she thought of killing Devon. As such, Tarah assumed that the spell was connected to whatever she spoke and thought.

Since then, for fear of her brother getting hurt, Tarah had done nothing but be Devon’s submissive mistress.

Channeling her thoughts and inner energy through the mark on her back, Tarah whispered, "My Lord, I need to see you."

Instantly, a black portal appeared before her. Tarah quickly stepped inside and the portal disappeared as quickly as it appeared.
