I knew that voice.
My body went cold.
Fast, I left Azar’s arms.
Adae stepped out of the shadows. The black leather mask covered his nose and mouth. His gold eyes glinted. His pale white skin shimmered.
Tonight, his long black hair was unbraided and outlined his face.
He wore a black cloak with red lines swirling at the bottom. The thin fabric flowed and swayed around his body with each step.
Adae stopped ten feet in front of us. “Where is Jade?”
I sneered. “You will never get her again.”
“Unfortunately, your daughter now belongs to me.”
“My husband’s debt was a lie. I know the truth.”
A dark chuckle left Adae. “You know nothing.”
“I know that you will die today.”
Adae shook his head. “Fatou, I hoped that you would come for Azar, but I was not sure. Could a tainted fairy truly fall in love with an ancient demon?”
Azar got in front of me and raised Soul-Breaker in the air. “Don’t even think about touching Fatou or her daughter.”
To my surprise, shock hit Adae’s face. “What?!”
A dark growl left Azar.
“How did you mend your sword?” Adae’s hands glowed silver. “That is impossible.”
“Nothing is impossible.”
“I destroyed it with a magic that you could never understand, demon.”
Azar slashed the air with Soul-Breaker. “And it was repaired with a magic thatyoucould never attain again.”
Adae leaned his head to the side. “What do you mean?”
Azar stepped forward. “Zoe, get Fatou out of here.”
I pointed my sword at Zoe. “Don’t even think about it.”
“Fatou, leave.” Azar raised the sword higher. The blade glowed bright, illuminating the entire hallway. I couldn’t remember it being this bright before.
Then, the carved ruins on the blade glowed, but instead of red, they shimmered silvery blue.
Does it have more power? How?
Adae stared at the weapon and edged back. “It. . .it is different.”
The air ran cold, making my skin shiver.
A warrior whispered on my right, “Princess, more have entered.”
I glanced behind me.
