Back to the present.
"Ughh that wretched woman" gritted Selene under her breath.
She was fuming, while watching Azazel and Clove conversing from a distance, if she had laser eyes, she would have burnt a hole in Clove's back already.
"So you also hate the guts of that woman" said a voice that Selene was not familiar with.
"Ugh who doesn't" replied Selene as did not mind who she was talking to.
"It's nice to see someone else who despises that woman" said the man
"She thinks that she is untouchable since she has the favour of the master" said the man
"Right??" said Selene as she agreed with him a hundred percent.
"That wretched woman caused Azazel to be upset with me" said the man.
"And all I did was try to show her a good time" he said
"Ha" said Selene
"I have an Idea" said the man as he leaned in closer to Selene.
"Mhmm" said Selene
"What if you and I bind together and take her out of the picture" he said with a sly smile on his face as he whispered.
"Yes" said Selene as she was lost in her wild, glorious thoughts of killing Clove.
"And after that we can... you know, get closer" he said as he looked at her suspiciously and licked his lips.
That singular sentence of his was able to snap Selene out of her wonderous evil thoughts.
"Thank you, but No thank you, I will never team up with you to do such a thing to the master's wife... I'd rather do it alone" she said, but she left the last part out.
"Aww what a shame" said the man sarcastically.
"Watch your tone Vampire" said Selene as she hissed at him.
"I will not take it lightly with you, regardless of if you work for Azazel or not" said Selene as she looked at him coldly.
"Ouch, that hurt" he said
"By the way I have a name, it's Liam, cat eyes" said Liam as he winked at her.
"Get out of my sight vampire" said Selene coldly.
"Well then see you around cat eyes, and just between you and me, my offer still stands" he said as he smirked and began to walk away.
"Ha, only in your dreams" said Selene as she scoffed at him.
"Then let me continue to dream" replied Liam as he winked and walked over to where his boys were standing.
"Darn vampire if not that Azazel needs your assistance I would have killed you already" muttered Selene to herself.
"Breathe Selene, Breathe" said Selene as she tried to calm herself down, and she shone a smile on her face.
"My Lord, I need to see you urgently" said Selene as she smiled and walked over to where Azazel and Clove were standing.
"Then speak it here" said Azazel
"My Lord, I would, but the matter is rather sensitive, and is for our ears only" said Selene as she still smiled, and she eyed Clove specifically.
"Alright then" said Azazel
"Clove stay here" said Azazel
"Liam" called Azazel
"Yes Boss" said Liam as he rushed to Azazel quickly.
"Stay here with Clove" commanded Azazel
"Selene let's go" said Azazel as he walked away with Selene.
"Ughh guess we are stuck together" said Liam as he looked at Clove like he was annoyed.
"Mhmm just watch it" said Clove as she narrowed her eyes at him.
"Ouch, very harsh Madam" said Liam as he chuckled.
"Just watch it, this time I will not hold back" said Clove
"Oh is that so?? well remember Madam, that I have my boys on standby over there" said Liam as he pointed to his group.
"So you watch it, or we will tear that pretty face of yours" said Liam
"Haha, like Aza would let you... remember the last time" said Clove as she smiled with confidence.
"Touché madam touché" said Liam as he smiled.
"Hmm I don't need you here, you can leave now" said Clove as she shooed him away.
"Sorry but not happening, If I leave Azazel will kill me for disobeying him" said Liam
"So you are stuck with me" said Liam
"Whatever you say" said Clove as she turned away from him.
Meanwhile in one of the tents.
"What is it Selene?" asked Azazel as he sat down and looked at Selene seriously
Selene was getting flustered, Azazel was staring at her intently, it had been years since she had saw him, and still she had the same respect and fear for him.
"Did you ask me here just to waste my time" said Azazel coldly, and that aura of his was able to snap Selene out of it.
"Umm Master no I would do no such thing" she said
"Then what is it?" asked Azazel
"Well it's about our spy in the Palace" she said
"Which one?" asked Azazel
"It's Blaise Master" replied Selene
"He was compromised, and the Vice Chancellor same to know of his involvement with us" said Selene
"News has it that he and the three other spies have been sent to the holds" said Selene.
"Hmm" said Azazel as he seemed to be thinking.
"Well we no longer have need for him, considering the new development" said Azazel
"Okay master" said Selene
"Is there any sign of the Vice Chancellor?" asked Azazel
"No Master, the look-outs have not spotted anyone" said Selene
"Do you want to set an ambush?" asked Selene
"No why set an ambush, it would end things too quickly" said Azazel as he smiled.
"Is that all?" asked Azazel
"Yes Azazel" replied Selene.
"What did you just call me?" he asked
"Umm... Azazel" said Selene as her voice was now barely a whisper.
"Tell me Selene, since when were we on a first name basis?" asked Azazel as he looked at Selene.
"I thought..." said Selene as she bowed her head, Azazel was being very scary right now.
"You thought wrong" said Azazel
"Do not let this repeat again" said Azazel
"Am I clear" he said with no room for refusal
"Yes Master" said Selene as she kept her head bowed, she seemed to have forgotten her place.
"Good" said Azazel as he stood up and walked away, leaving Selene still shaking.
This was not fair! That woman was allowed to call him by his name, while she his faithful follower was not? That made Selene boil even more, she was the one that was supposed to be his side, and not just some woman who did not deserve him.
Meanwhile in another tent.
"You may go now Liam" said Azazel as he walked into another tent.
"Okay Boss see you" said Liam as he saluted Azazel and left.
"Aza dear you are back" said Clove as she was sitting on a bed.
"Clove I am getting you a maid" he said almost like a command.
"What no?? I don't need a maid and I don't want one" said Clove, she was still the only one who could talk to Azazel anyhow and still be alive.
"There is no room for argument, You will have a maid" said Azazel
"But Aza dear I don't want one, and I don't need one, why do you want to get me a maid all of a sudden?" asked Clove
"I need someone I trust to look after you" said Azazel as he gave no other reason.
"More like you want to watch me 24/7" said Clove as she looked annoyed.
"Whatever you say, but you will meet your maid tomorrow" said Azazel
"*Tisk* typical Azazel" muttered Clove under her breath as she turned away.
