Beneath Her Darkness: The Alpha's Little Demon

Chapter 038 - Pro Kalmero Et Reginae Nostrae

LUCIUS.

"The demons of the Kingdom of Athwart, led by King Arturos, stand by the border between the two kingdoms. They wanted to avenge Princess Nyneve’s death." Dorian stated, his eyes fixed on mine.

I was right. It was only a matter of time before he would come for her the moment he felt a descendant’s soul disconnect from him.

But I was sure Nyneve meant nothing to him, and he perhaps just wanted a reason to take my kingdom.

I didn’t say anything and just kept staring at my second-in- command. I wanted to tell him to just let King Arturos destroy Kalmerus. Maybe it was the right time to just succumb and let my own life perish.

Thad nothing to keep fighting for, nothing to live for.

‘You’re fucking stupid if you just let him destroy your kingdom!’

Lucija’s words rang in my head. She could read me. But I kept my silence. I felt numb.

Lucija stepped forward, and Dorian’s attention went to her.

"Prepare your demon guards, but make sure that the tower is fully secured. We will meet you in a quarter of an hour outside of this tower. Prepare to fight for Kalmerus. But I want your strongest warrior to remain here and guard Lucius’ chamber. Now, move!"

She ordered in one breath, her voice lacing with authority while her eyes were blazing red.

Dorian’s gaze went back to me, asking for approval, and I just nodded my head.

His eyes then returned to Lucija before he tipped his head down to her. "I will prepare our demons for battle, Princess Lucija. See you in a quarter of an hour."

He didn’t wait for any response before he vanished in front of us, followed by Gargon and the rest of the demon guards behind them.

"Lucius, look at me." Lucija stood in front of me the moment all of them disappeared, her hands clutching my arms tightly. ''You need to get yourself together and fight for Kalmerus."

"They can take it," I said in a low, defeated voice.

"If they take Kalmerus, just think of what Arturos will do with Patrea’s body."

"I will take her away from here."
