Seeing the argument unfold between Adam and Cael, Leila kept her mouth shut.
She gripped the edge of her sleeve tightly.
She wasn't dumb...
If she spoke now and said the wrong thing, she might end up bound in chains right next to Cael.
After all, Adam had just made a floor boss kneel.
Who knew what he'd do next?!
Adam's eyes flicked to her briefly, catching the fear in her silence, but he said nothing.
His attention returned to the hulking creature beside him.
Xel'Shaar...
Adam had already pieced some things together.
The reason he could command this beast wasn't some hidden skill or trick...
It was because of the Death Mark that the Deathspeaker had placed upon him.
To Xel'Shaar, cursed and broken by the very beings who shaped this floor, that mark wasn't just a symbol...
It was a command seal, one that made Adam his superior in the eyes of Death's will.
Adam spoke quietly, voice almost respectful.
"I apologize for ordering you around like that."
