Chapter 691 691 Go To Bed
?Ella gestured toward the door. "I will get you all set up. The guest rooms are designed for double occupancy, if you don't mind sharing, but I will have to modify one for Risa, as they're all witch sized right now, and unfortunately the beds are only two metres long."
The big Wrathbringer shrugged. "I suspected that might be the case. I can move to another area if it's inconvenient."
Ella shook her head. "It's only a few seconds work to modify the bed size. If you were five metres tall, then it would become a real issue."
"Then I will have to impose upon you. Do you mind if I drill a few holes in the ceiling? If I'm going to be settling in long term, there are a few items that I would like to get set up." Risa asked.
"Lamps and such?" Cassie asked.
"Not exactly. But these stone ceilings should hold enough weight even without asking the Magi to reinforce them. With so many demons around, I'm sure I will find a cute little subby incubus sooner or later, and I want to have the room ready."
Cassie's face flushed bright red at the forward manner of the onyx winged demon, who was not at all ashamed to admit what she intended to do to her preferred partner.
Wolfe smirked at her. "Just remember to untie him before your shift starts, we can't have you forgetting and having to run off while you're working."
"Well, technically not me directly. They attacked the Palace that I was staying at, and then cursed it, trying to kill all the demons inside. It was a strange thing, they used some form of mutated unholy magic to cast the curse, not witch magic. But we managed to break it and get the spread stopped in time.
The problem was, that they have a spell to follow portals, so I couldn't return home without bringing a load of crusaders behind me. That would be even worse than what we are already dealing with because they have Saint level firepower.
The Saints shouldn't be back for a while, by the way. They were captured by the Faerie Queen's forces, and they're being held on trespassing charges."
"If they're being held for trial in Faerie, how did you end up in the Demon Realms?" Cassie asked, confused by the disjointed chain of events.
"They caught us all after the witches got pulled into their own spell, and we got tossed into the forests of Faerie. They arrested the witches for trespassing, but their policy on Demons is eviction, and they couldn't decide whether a Magi counted as a Demon or a human, so they just kicked me out to save themselves the hassle."
Cassie chuckled. "Yeah, that sounds like them. They hate anything that is a bother unless they're going to gain something from it. So, they'll protect the human lands, or other Covens because they get territory and people to boss around, but it's nearly impossible to get them to clean up after themselves. They're used to just ordering the lower level Fae to do it."
"That's the whole point of having subordinates, I suppose. Hopefully, they haven't been too insufferable." Wolfe replied.
"No, with Khalifa here, they're afraid to misbehave. She might be on the lower end of the actual magical power scale, but the Elf Magic has a Command element to it, and she can easily order the other Fae around unless they've got a direct mission from another Royal."
Finding out that there was an Elf Princess here, especially the Huntress, had put a huge damper on the party plans of a lot of the other Fae. It was also the reason that they behaved when they were in Forest Grove. Even if she happened to go back home to visit, she had claimed this place as hers, and it was against their nature to cause trouble for the Fae Royal Family.
There were exceptions, of course. Troublemakers exist in every group, but for the most part, things hadn't been too bad, just annoying for Cassie and the other Witches. It was still good to have Wolfe back to deal with Khalifa, though. She respected him, but she only listened to everyone else because she liked their ideas.Ñ00v€l--ß1n hosted the premiere release of this chapter.
