"Can you keep your end of the bargain and tell me how to manifest my will?" Kyle asked leisurely, lounging as he addressed Zert.
He had fulfilled his part of their deal, orchestrating a perfect plan that accelerated the downfall of the humans. War was no longer a possibility—it was inevitable. The demonic seed he had fed to the king had fanned the flames of conflict, persuading other rulers and tribal chiefs to wage war against the Grey Empire. "The Grey Empire cannot be trusted" had become his most effective argument.
"Earl Kodiac has requested you. I am to take you to him when you're ready," Zert said, clearly displeased.
Zert didn't like the fact that Kodiac had agreed to help Kyle—it irritated him deeply. In the demon realm, teaching someone to manifest their will was forbidden without the approval of specific demons. Zert wasn't one of them. That was why he'd needed Kodiac's approval before accepting the deal.
