“Well done,” Mulguran smirked. “How did you know it was him? I did not reveal his identity to you.” the demon questioned.

“He revealed himself.” the black figure spoke. “He believed he could… save me.”

“Haha!” Mulguran jerked his head up in disgusting laughter. “That fool. I always knew it would get him killed.”

“Indeed, my lord.” the figure agreed. “It was foolish of him to believe otherwise.”

“Enough of that… why isn’t the queen dead?” Mulguran hissed, his anger replacing his temporary joy.

“My lord.” the hooded figure bowed deeply. “Killing a queen takes time. An opportunity has not yet risen. However, after killing Jebbin, she has left the capitol in a vain attempt to save them.”

“Damn!” Mulguran hissed.

“My allies intercepted her messenger hawks. They will not know of my plans.” the human said. “Fortune seems to smile on me, however, not only is my target in Unari, but the queen is also on her way. And no one knows she is coming.”

Mulguran raised an eyebrow, he was impressed with his servant and he showed it by smiling evilly. “You have not failed me yet. This will be the perfect opportunity for you. Don’t fail me now.”

“I live to serve you, my lord.” the figure dressed in black bowed again.

“Good,” Mulguran noted. “It will bring great pleasure to finally see her dead.”

“Yes, my lord,” the figure nodded.

“You don’t agree?” Mulguran frowned in disappointment. “I can feel it emanating off of you. Don’t lose your edge now.” he mocked. “You care for them.”

The hooded figure said nothing, only freezing in motion.

“I don’t have to tell you what will happen if you don’t obey me, do I?” Mulguran sighed in annoyance. “As much as I love tormenting you, I grow tired of your sentiment.”

“Forgive me, my lord.” the human said. “I have not forgotten. I will do your bidding, without hesitation.”

“Good.” Mulguran glared at the human then disappeared.
