Chapter 512: You are courting death!
Sofia and Cinthia were surprised to find the door to Leverle’s office already open. The demon was covered in his usual long white robes, but he was sitting on the carpet, laying three cards face down on the floor.
“The troublemaker,” he said, turning a card face up, revealing a drawing of a sun. He then turned another card over, which had an image of a shadowy figure holding a tall scythe, “the messenger…”
Leverle’s neck moved, his blank mask of a face turning in Sofia and Cinthia’s direction, “These cards represent you two,” he explained in a serious tone, “the third represents your fate,” he finished, turning the third card over, on which there was a bleeding eye, “Divine judgment.”
“Is that some kind of backhanded threat?” Sofia asked as she entered the office.
“Was that divination magic?” Cinthia chimed in with a question of her own.
Leverle laughed, sweeping up the cards, “No, and no. I jest, these cards have nothing magical, I bought these for fifty silver from a human hero artist. I quite like their design.”
“So you just wanted an excuse to call me a troublemaker?” Sofia continued, uncertain as to whether she should take that as a compliment or an insult.
“Would that be undeserved?” Leverle answered, standing up from the floor and adjusting his robes.
Sofia closed the door, “Admittedly no,” she conceded, ”I’m happy to see that you didn’t forget me, at least. One fewer thing to worry about.”
