Battle and Sex Is All A Primordial Fiend Needs

"Where are we going?" Edwin asked, realizing the soldier who had reported to him about Dilise was leading him to the back rooms of the mansion.

After receiving the soldier's urgent message, Edwin had decided to go down and confront Seth, but Gastrol insisted on coming along.

Edwin would have preferred if he went alone seeing as his lies might be exposed, but Gastrol had been quite insistent on following along, and in order to avoid painting himself as being suspicious Edwin had no other choice but to accept.

"He is on the last floor" the soldier replied with a bow, his voice trembling.

"Well lead us to him" Gastrol barked, patience not really his fort.

"Yes sir," the man said and hurriedly moved forward.

It wasn't long before Edwin and Gastrol reached the ground floor, but the chaos that greeted them was very unexpected.

Bodies of several guards with broken arms and other body parts littered the floor, medic and other health personnel running around while a few soldiers stood guard.

"What happened here" Edwin roared, his voice drawing the attention of everyone and a moment later, a guard with bandages around his head ran up to him.

"My lord, we were attacked by a ..." the guard began but Edwin immediately cut him off.

"Where is he?"

"Th...there" the guard stuttered, pointing at a hallway weirdly lined with soldiers, and hearing his words, Edwin almost immediately dashed into the hallway, but when he noticed Gastrol not following along, he turned to him.

"What's the matter?"

"I can't risk him realizing my connection with the princess, I'm going back up," he said, and without any more explanation rushed away.

Seeing Gastrol leave, a little relief filled Edwin's heart, but he quickly shook off the soothing feeling as he went past the standing soldiers.

The scene of soldiers with their weapons drawn and at the ready standing still and facing in one direction sent various thoughts going through Edwin's mind, the most dominant being that the soldiers were afraid, but when they finally arrived at the end of the corridor and enter into the room, he was greeted by a very unexpected sight.

About 15 soldiers, dressed in shiny silver armor with two of them having gold stripes on their armor stood at the ready, their weapons drawn as they vigilantly stared at the duo behind a table.

The first person to come into Edwin's sight was a woman dressed in silver armor and gold stripes, her clothes identifying her as a captain in the army, yet she was standing opposite the group of 15 soldiers, with her hands raised in the air.

While the situation concerning the female captain would raise eyes, the person beside her was the one who made the whole scene very confusing.

Sitting behind a table and care freely munching away was a black-haired man, the man showing not the slightest fear that he was surrounded, his entire focus was on the meal before him.

"Edwin, have your cooks make me some more of this meat," Seth said after taking a gulp, pointing the fork in his hand at an almost empty plate carrying just a single piece of brown meat.

Edwin had run here thinking Seth was going on some rampage, only to find the man actually having a meal.

"Dilise explain" Edwin commanded, his words evoking a feeling of misery in Dilise.

"Take me to Edwin" Seth had said and Dilise acknowledging Seth's strength decided to hesitantly follow her orders and, take Seth to the commander.

Their journey to the mansion while uneventful had still seen them attracting three more captains who decided to accompany them to the mansion.

All throughout, Seth had been quiet, continuing with his stroll even when the soldiers surrounding them pressured him to walk faster, and were it not for Dilise's presence, a battle would have broken out.

On arriving at the mansion, Dilise had relayed the information concerning Seth to the head guard, but just as he moved to get the commander, Seth began acting out.

The man took a sniff of the air and then told her to take him to the mansion's kitchen.

The ability for Seth to move within the mansion was not something Dilise could authorize, not like she would if she could though.

Dilise had denied his request, telling him to wait for the commander, but before she knew it, Seth had turned and began walking away, this action of his drawing the attention of everyone around, and when the guards repeatedly told him to stop and he kept at his pace, a fight had broken out, a fight which saw two captains unconscious and the now present scene come to be.

Cursing her unlucky self, Dilise opened her mouth and began to explain exactly what had brought about the current scene.

Some minutes later, Dilise was done with her story, but before the commander could let out a word, a loud tap was heard from the table, and when everyone turned to face it, they found Seth staring at the commander and pointing at the plate which carried the reddish meat, his meaning more than clear enough.

A second after Seth's silent remainder, the was an explosion of qi as several auras descend on Seth, everyone in the room was angry at Seth's blatant disrespect for them and the commander, asking the commander to go get him his meal like he were a servant.

These auras which could have 100s of men trembling on their knees fell on Seth, but there wasn't the slightest change in his expression that could delude to Seth having felt a thing, but while Seth remained completely undisturbed, the same could not be said for Dilise who stood beside him, the woman's face covered in sweat while her knees trembled.

At this point, Edwin was left with two options, listen to Seth and avoid offending the powerful man but at the same time soiling his image before his soldiers seeing as he would be announcing his fear and submission towards Seth, or, he could ignore Seth's request and put on a strong front, but then he ran the risk of offending Seth and who knew what repercussions he would face.

With his pride, reputation, and the respect of his soldiers on the line, Edwin made his decision.
