Chapter 389: [Bonus chapter] Cute Blackmail

When Anastasia and Ileus came out, they found that the fortress was a buzz of activity. The fae and the demon soldiers were everywhere. It was easy to make out that several men and women in heavy armor, bearing swords, bows and spears were guarding the premise on the boundary. Things were happening as if they coordinated. As they walked through the lichen and moss strewed corridors, the smell of smoke and wax wafted through the air. 

The fae soldiers bowed to the royal couple, as they passed and Ileus' expression was tight. 

"How did they find you, Ileus? I mean I thought you had come alone!" Anastasia asked as she realized the curious expressions of the soldiers when they saw her. She knew that they all wanted to know more about her.
