"I'll go too," suggested the Succubus Paladin standing by. "I won't walk with you, but I'll follow nearby, ready to assist immediately should any trouble arise."
"Is that necessary?" Lancelot asked, puzzled, "You know my abilities; regular demons can't trouble me, and if there are stronger enemies, I can avoid them in advance…"
"I certainly know your abilities, but in the Abyss, great power shines like gleaming gold, attracting unwanted attention," Elothysia reminded him. "With me present, some conflicts might be resolved more discreetly. Trust me, being a succubus has its advantages in Tanari society."
Lancelot immediately understood what Elothysia was implying—he had perhaps been too ostentatious in establishing his authority publicly before. Without reminders, one could easily commit serious taboos. Let alone a Demon Lord, even two or three six-armed Serpent Demons seeking trouble would be enough to cause him great distress.
