Chapter 154 154 – The Inner Child

Emily opened her eyes when she heard the sound of approaching footsteps. She straightened up, stretched while yawning, and found Xenora standing in front of the cell. The succubus was carrying a tray of steaming bowls.

"Doc said the prophet should be awake by now," Emily explained while rubbing her eyes. "The effects of the sleeping drugs should have worn off. Even Doc can't determine the cause of it yet... By the way, why did you come here?"

"I just want to deliver breakfast to her," Xenora responded without looking at the supreme undead.

Emily chuckled. "Admit it. You are curious about the next female candidate for lord Vorn, right?"

Xenora didn't answer and instead asked another question. "Have you thought about what Lord Vorn said about us not fighting anymore?"

"The point is, I no longer care about your preferences. I realized there was no point in worrying about such things. Besides, I've been too busy with Lord Vorn's tasks."

"I see." Xenora nodded. "Good then."

Velvet suddenly stood up and immediately looked around with a wild breath.

"Easy, hon." Emily rose from her mat. "We won't do anything to you."

The prophet's gaze then fixed on Vorn's two generals.

"I think you can feed yourself." Xenora stuck the tray she was carrying into the special hole for food in the cell.

Velvet didn't listen to the succubus. The prophet approached the bars and held them, concentrating.

However, after a few seconds, her hand didn't give off its usual amber-like orange glow. She tried again but still failed.

Velvet studied her trembling hands and hissed. "This is not possible."

"Why does your face look like a constipated dude trying to get the poop out?" Emily asked with a grin. "Ah, you were trying to run away, weren't you?"

Xenora brought her face closer to the prophet. "It's useless. You won't be able to activate your power."

Even so, Velvet tried again, and still, nothing happened. She instead felt weaker and dizzy after trying so hard. She staggered backward a bit.

"Eat. You need energy." Xenora added.

However, the prophet tried to remove the bracelet on his left hand instead.

"I'll have the doctor here in a moment." The succubus was still trying to talk to Velvet. "So, relax a little bit. You're just wasting your energy."

Failing to remove the bracelet, Velvet started examining the stone walls of the cell. She was looking for anything she could use to escape.

"Well, we need something more impactful to get her attention." Emily grinned again at Xenora. And then, the supreme undead called out to the prophet. "Hey, you! How does it feel about joining us, about being the lover of the great lord Vorn?"

Finally, the prophet stopped what she was doing but still didn't face the two women.

"If we do another blowjob contest and the prophet participates, it will be fun." Emily shrugged.

Xenora sighed. "The result will remain the same. I will still win."

"Well, but lord Vorn still prefers my pussy. And we don't know the prophet's ability to satisfy Lord Vorn with her mouth yet."

Velvet turned around and approached the two women. With a sharp expression, she hissed. "I wouldn't do something like that to a filthy creature."

Xenora narrowed her eyes. "I let you say that because Lord Vorn asked me not to touch you. However, I hope you won't do it again."

"Relax, Xenora." Emily patted her comrade in arms on the shoulder. "She just doesn't know the greatness of Lord Vorn yet."

Not long after, the children who lived in the base came to the prison accompanied by skeleton A. As they passed the men's cell, they only glanced at the former shadow members and didn't speak to them.

"Miss Emily!!!" Some of them shouted when they saw the supreme undead.

"Hey, hey, I didn't expect to be visited by cute kids." Emily squatted down and ran a hand through those children's hair.

Skeleton A laughed. "They said they wanted to see you, and Lord Vorn allowed it."

"You were gone a long time, miss Emily. I miss you!"

"I want to hear your story again in that Ragmonuk Cave."

"That's right! Your story about the werewolves back then was very exciting!"

The little children kept on babbling to get the supreme undead to tell a story. Emily chuckled and motioned for the children to be quiet. "Alright, alright. But I can't tell a story if you guys keep talking like this."

"All right, Miss Emily!"

Meanwhile, one little girl separated herself from the others and hugged Xenora's legs instead.

"I want to practice singing again with you, miss Xenora." That girl looked at the succubus' face with tears in her eyes.

Xenora stroked that girl's head while smiling faintly. "Be patient. I still have things to do."

Velvet looked at what was happening with wide eyes. "Hey, they are demons! Why are you guys so close to them?"

The children looked at Velvet, then they started talking one by one.

"That's because they were nice to us."

"Yes, almost everyone here is kind to us."

"They're not like the people in the shadow organization." One of the boys pointed to the next cell. "In our old house, we would have been beaten up by those people if we couldn't carry out orders properly."

Velvet's chin dropped after hearing those words.

"Just so you know, this country takes children without parents to train them to be government puppets," Emily added. "They get harsh training that kids like them shouldn't do."

Xenora was still stroking the head of the girl hugging her legs. "People say children like them are very sincere. They can't lie."

"Lord Vorn made sure that they were free to be whatever they wanted." Emily widened her smile. "No one will ever take away their dreams again."

Velvet was getting speechless. She was reminded of her childhood when she wanted to be a dancer. But she was taken by the government to train as a warrior instead.

At that time, she didn't understand what a prophet was and the task she had to carry out. She only knows that she likes to move with the flow of music.

And suddenly, she was trained to use a sword.

The prophet turned around so no one would see that tears started to roll over her eyes.
