"Release my son."
Duke Grant spoke up once he heard the army was far enough to no longer be seen over the hill on the horizon, and Mark stood up and spoke to one of the demons at his side to carry James away.
"I'll release him after the message has been sent to the king and I receive a response. I know better than to trust someone who hates demons as much as you."
Duke Grant growled somewhere deep in his throat, but he eventually huffed and turned around to walk back to the tent with Mark, Arit, Riger, and Hunn following behind him.
Once they got to the tent, Mark brought out the letter he wanted them to send to the king, and Duke Grant read through it properly with a scowl on his face. There was a section of the letter where the duke was supposed to put his signature and stamp to show he was in agreement with Mark, and the Duke never felt more disgusted with himself than at that moment as he did just that.
