Willow blinked from her daze before she shook her head.
“He’s said enough. I don’t need him here unless he has anything else to deliver to me.”
“I have no other announcement!” Mervyn declared. The poor guy was going to pee his pants at this rate.
“You’re dismissed,” I declared and stepped forward. Before the man could scramble out of the room, I had my hand on his shoulder which forced him to freeze in place. “You’ll keep an eye out and inform us if you find anything else about the culprit, correct?”
“Y-Y-Yes! I swear!”
Arthur was already on his left side and placing a firm hand on his other shoulder. I noticed the shift in energy, the oozing magic cloaking the royal advisor before he even realized it.
Arthur whispered in his ear, “Be our eyes, be our ears. Let no one manipulate your weak mind as you do our bidding throughout the night. Your loyalty is to our Forbidden Queen, Willow Alundra Phoenix. Vow it with your soul.”
“I vow with my soul to be loyal to Willow Alundra Phoenix,” Mervyn declared in a robotic tone, his eyes resembling someone in a complete trance.
“Good.” Arthur removed his hand just as I did. “You may leave.”
“T-T-Thank you!” he declared before he literally ran out of the room.
I proceeded to take the few steps needed to close the door while Willow stared down at the blood on the floor.
“We probably should clean this up,” she noted. “Don’t want anyone thinking we actually killed someone.”
“At least not yet,” Arthur chimed in but clapped his hands three times.
By the time I turned around, the pool of blood was nothing but flickers of embers with a poof of smoke.
“You’re really good with fire,” Willow praised and watched the man grin like a pure psycho.
“I like when you praise me.” He beamed and leaned in so he was face-to-face with her once more. “Do it again.”
“No.” She pushed his head away from her before she walked around him to sit on the chair before the big vanity. Crossing one leg over the other, she ran her hands through her long locks to loosen the ponytail.
“Who’s Aoa?” Arthur jumped right into the next topic which I had a strong feeling Willow was trying to avoid talking about.
“Assistant of Aurelia’s.” Willow sighed as she put her head back. “Well, the previous assistant, I guess. Fuck.”
I took a step forward with the intention of comforting her, but Arthur was not only behind her in a flash, he gently placed his hands on her temples while he stared down at her as she opened her eyes to observe the future ruler of hell’s motives.
“What are you doing?”
“You realize I can sense when you’re stressed and irritated, right?”
She stared at him for a hot minute.
“How and why?”
“One of the qualities that comes with being my master,” he noted as he began to massage her temples.
Whatever magic he held in those fingertips did wonders in seconds, as Willow immediately relaxed and a moan escaped her lips.
“Fuck…What in the juju is in your fingertips? I could melt into a puddle forever.”
“Did you know they made an anime about a slime that becomes a superhero?” Arthur noted. “I can see you playing that character.”
“No thanks,” Willow commented but let her eyes close as she further relaxed.
“But you’d be the main character!” Arthur stressed.
