(Azriel POV)
Azriel smiled back at Ashmeer. She had decided that one sure shot way to survive The Blight was to stay on Ashmeer's good side. So she looked up at him with her sweetest smile and said, "I am honoured that you think so well of me Lord Belaal!"
Ashmeer held her close and whispered, "In private we will maintain our old names Azriel. My father does not have too long to live. Things will change here Azriel. I want to make things different."
Azriel nodded not sure how much to believe him. Yet she was curious to know more about what was really going on here. She she asked coyly, "What of Kali? Do you think she will let you rule here in peace?"
His handsome face twisted in an ugly mask as he said, "Kali has gone away, and is no longer here Azriel. She has been sent away by father after what she did to you. I will not abide what she did Azriel, she almost killed you."
