“How unusual it is for you to visit me here, Archdemon Naberius.” Inside Archdemon Palace’s throne room, Zagan and a giant Archdemon faced each other. Zagan sat cross-legged atop his throne, staring down at the visitor, an amused glint in his silver eyes. Nephy’s birthday party had gone off without a hitch, and the troublesome aftermath of the battle with Shere Khan had been dealt with, so Zagan was in a tremendously good mood. He was sure to laugh off some amount of trouble at this point. In contrast, it was clear that Naberius was perturbed, even through his mask. The giant was a head taller than Zagan, and his muscular brawn even surpassed that of both Zagan and Kimaris. “I figured it was about time for me to leave,” Naberius finally said after letting out a deliberately long sigh. “I’m just about sick of being used.” “Like I care. It’s your fault for showing weakness.” “And you’re the one who’s been exploiting that weakness to your heart’s content!” Zagan feigned ignorance and averted his gaze. This man was supposed to be a free spirit who could rival Gremory, but after being spared by Alshiera and that whole mess with losing a Sigil of the Archdemon, all of his weaknesses had been exposed to Zagan. And naturally, Zagan had made full use of them. Both Nephy’s birthday present and the wedding ring came out perfectly. Well, Alshiera, Nephy, and the others had apparently forced more onto Naberius’s plate, so Zagan could at least understand his desire to complain… Not that he had any obligations to listen to him, of course. Still, the fact that he’s going out of his way to show himself means there’s still something he needs… This man was an Archdemon. If he really wanted to run away, he could’ve done so whenever he wanted. Even now, instead of venting to Zagan, he could act more like an Archdemon and demand compensation or go on the offensive. The fact that he was here to give a “farewell” with some idle chatter meant that he was probably probing for information. However, Naberius was only on friendly terms because of their contract, which was now over. Thus, Zagan had no intention of giving him any unnecessary information.
