Chapter 40: Scrolls and A Journal
One thing led to another, Tarah quickly cleaned herself up and changed into a new set of clothes after Devon was done with her.
"Please keep your promise and let my brother be taken care of by Asura," she reminded him.
Devon had a smug look on his face after he was done with her, but he still looked satisfied with how submissive she was to him a while ago. Tarah could only grit her teeth and ball her fists as usual as she tried her best to clear her mind of negative thoughts, especially the thought of wanting to kill Devon.
Truly, all she needed to do was fill her mind with Levi’s smiling face and imagine how the two of them would soon live a peaceful and happy life together. At first, it was hard to even think of such a thing, but in due time, she was able to overcome them, mainly because of her strong determination not to put her brother in pain and at great risk.
Back in the present, Devon moved to approach her, but Tarah quickly said, "I need to teleport back to Zion. There’s an important scroll that I must retrieve that could help me awaken the dragon spirit." She then leveled a glare at him and added, "I need to go now, or I might miss the opportunity."
The demon frowned at her words, but he didn’t say anything as he created a portal for her. Tarah quickly entered, and as soon as she arrived, Laban, who was now in charge of their kingdom, was already there waiting for her with Asura beside him.
"King Devon told me that you asked for my daughter to look after your brother," Laban angrily stated. "How dare you-"
"Father, that’s enough," Asura stopped him. "Go and head back to what you were doing. I can assist Her Ladyship from here."
Laban grunted, but he no longer argued as he instead gave Asura a knowing look. "Make sure that you won’t take your eyes off her!" he commanded. "Remember what I told you. Take this chance to please our King."
