Lord Shadow

‘Knowing him, he probably knows I lied about not knowing Void’ Azief reply as he keeps walking forward.

Sasha hearing this is perplexed and could not help but asking another question

‘But he seems really shocked that Your Excellency don’t know about Void.’ Azief nodded and then replied with

‘He will deduce the truth later. He was disoriented from waking up and he is still weak and feeling fatigued. It was his most vulnerable moments. I am confident when he begins to gain his faculty of mind, he would see something wrong with the way I acted’

Sasha hearing this could only nodes her head. Then she asks cautiously

‘Your Excellency…what is it that Your Excellency is aiming to do?’ Sasha finally asked.

Azief is on the exit gate of the Peach Blossom Gardens and look at the cloudless sky and sighed

‘Loki….is playing a game right now. He could go anywhere he wanted in this world and I know he has a lot of hideout. If he doesn’t have such places it would not be so hard for me to seek for him’ then Death Monarch sighed.

And he said

‘But he came back here’

Sighing Azief continued

‘He wants something. I just don’t know what it is. And that is what I want you to find out. What is it that he wants?’

Saying this Azief gestures Sasha with his finger to excuse herself.

Sasha understood Azief intention and walk backward from Azief figure and as the blossom leaves falls to the ground and with the blowing of the gentle wind, Sasha disappeared from Azief sight.

Looking at the sky Azief lamented

‘Loki, Loki. What it is it you are scheming this time?’

INSIDE THE ROOM

Creak!

The sound of the door made Loki felt something is string inside his body. It felt like a large pressure is leaving him.

The door slowly is being pushed and Azief finally went out of the room. Loki entire body relaxed as soon as Azief got out

A raven suddenly comes and perched itself on the windowsill. Loki smiles and nodded

He closed his eyes and tries to detect the presence of Azief in the room. After making sure there is nothing wrong he opens his eyes and nodded

‘Come in’ he said.

First, one would have thought he might be suffering from delirium and talking to nothing but it is clear that Loki is sane and is alright.

He seems to be talking toward the direction of the window sill. The raven caw. Loki is talking to the raven.

The raven look at the sky and the distance, blinked its green eyes and then caw again.

Then the raven jumped from the windowsill and enter cautiously into the room.

Then it jumped down from the window to the ground of the room. And as it jumped down it transform into a woman dressed in black red tight attire and emitted a demonic presence.

But that demonic presence is immediately masked. This woman doesn’t want anyone to know she is here.

Other than the tight attire, this woman is wearing red smiling demon mask. This woman is none other than Trisha, one of the Three Demoness that wreak havoc in the world under the order of Loki the Trickster.

Trisha took a deep breath and she look at Loki with a worried expression. She is also making sure there is not even a leak of her energy that comes out. She fears that person would notice her.

She looks left and right in the room and only spread her Divine Sense around her, her sensitivity is raised to the maximum as she is trying to ascertain something.

After a few moments she heaved a sigh of relief.

‘He is gone’ Loki said and he felt a little sad for Trisha. Old habits die hard.

He understands Trisha fears. The title of the strongest made an impact to anyone in the whole world.

And for Trisha who always suffer under the hand of the strong, she is of course the most cautious of the Three Demoness.

Trisha nodded and Loki added

‘Well, temporarily at least’

‘That was close’ she said. She still remembers the nine aura that is almost locked towards her before.

It was when Death Monarch was opening the windows and notice a raven on top of one of the towers.

Azief felt weird at the raven and gaze at the raven.

Before the nine energy in his body could be activated to ascertain what is the raven, the raven flies away and Death Monarch pay it no heed anymore.

But it was a close call for Trisha. Even before Death Monarch activated his nine energy, she could feel a pressure unlike any other when the gaze of Death Monarch rested upon her.

It was like she was staring at the sun and was about to be burned by it. Loki shakes his head and once again reminded Trisha

‘I told you to always be cautious especially when around him. He is not like any other person in this world’

She nodded in agreement. She knows she did not have much time here. She doesn’t want to be noticed by Sasha or Death Monarch

Or the consequences would be dire. The whole world thought that the Three Demonic Sister is under the protection of Pandemonium and one of Pandemonium forces.

And Sasha and Death Monarch let the whole world believe that. Truth is, Sasha have always been hunting the Three Sisters.

Of course this hunt order is only known among the upper echelons of Pandemonium.

They do not want to torture them or kill them. They just want to capture them because that is what Death Monarch ordered them to.

Azief would not do anything to Loki but at least he thought he could hinder Loki plans if he caught his helper.

‘So, what do you think? He bought it?’ she asked.

Loki frowned and then replied with uncertainty

‘Fifty-fifty. He bought it fifty percent and doubt me fifty percent. Thought that is a great success considering his personality.’

Clearly it is not the answer Trisha was hoping to hear. The expression on her face told Loki everything.

But Trisha don’t understand the relationship between Azief and Loki and how tangled and mess up that relationship is.

She is only worried that the brotherly affection that Azief had for Loki would one day get used up.

The only reason Loki could still stand tall in the world is because his tricks, his intelligence and also the fact that everyone knows he is like a little brother to the Overlord of Pandemonium, Death Monarch Azief.

If Death Monarch really made his mind up, ignoring brotherly affection between both of them, Trisha fears Loki would become the enemy of the world.

‘We could always go with Plan B’ she said. Loki only chuckles like he heard a joke. He knows Trisha is worried about him but he is not that worried.

‘Well, Plan A is still in effect so how could I go to Plan B now. It would be too troublesome’

Then he sighed and after thinking for a moment he said

‘But just in case contact the Order of Thinkers and tell him we could let them meet the Orvanians.

Trisha nodded and there is a little smile on her face. Then she asked

‘Will you not explain to Death Monarch what you are planning? After all you are doing this for him.’ Trisha asked

Loki could only weakly smiles.

It is not that Azief don’t know that he is doing this for him. It is just the thing he does for him, is not something that Azief wanted him to do.

It is simple really. Loki knows Azief. For a man who wanted freedom above all else, why would he like being another person chess piece?

Then Loki said to Trisha
