Chapter 285 Live to Serve

“Well hello there you little ray of sunshine,” she winked, “How’s life?”

Lord Brarthroroz ignored Lexi’s sniggers and got straight to business. “I need to transport some of our forces here, cambion’s and their h*andlers mainly,” Lord Brathroroz explained, “A few mimic’s too. There may be more required at a later date, but we’ll meet that when we come to it.”
“I live to serve.” Steve bowed slightly as the corners of his mouth twitched.
“I can’t decide whether or not there was the hint of sarcasm in there Steve,” Lord Brarthroroz rumbled as he inspected his face carefully for any tell tale signs.
“Sarcasm? Against the Daemon Lord himself? Who would possibly dare…” Steve answered quick as a flash and Lexi snorted as her father watched him with a mixture of mild surprise and faint amusement.
