The demon minions, now bolstered by captured humans from the Dragon Empire, obeyed without hesitation. A shared sense of purpose seemed to unite them, even if some still harbored quiet reservations about their new leader.
However, the announcement came as a shock to Belial and a few other higher-ranking demons.

"Crimson, your time has come," Belial muttered to himself, the memory of his separation from Bella's mother flashing through his mind. Crimson had played a significant role in that painful chapter of his life. Watching Aengus bring him to ruin would be a satisfying reckoning.
