Celine's sharp gaze cut through the clearing, fixing on Lilith with cold disdain. Her voice carried the weight of someone accustomed to giving orders, not receiving interruptions.
"Oh? I deliberately chose not to trouble you because you're clearly not human but what is the meaning of this?"
Lilith's smile didn't waver. She tilted her head, her crimson eyes gleaming with dark amusement.
"What? Can't you see? I stopped you."
Celine's eyes narrowed, a flicker of irritation passing through them. Her voice dropped, cold and sharp.
"That's highly disrespectful. Speaking to me in that tone..." She raised her hand, a sharp gesture toward her soldiers. "Seize both women and the man behind them."
The demon soldiers moved instantly, their formation shifting as they surged toward Lilith, Isolde, and the unconscious Adam.
Isolde let out a low, dry sigh, her blood already stirring around her feet. Her voice carried a note of weary amusement.
