“So, you wanted to know why we’re invading?” Royalfang said. “Well, you guessed right.”

His goal was to free his comrades who’d gone undercover among the humans. Failing that, we needed to return their remains, provide an accounting of what had happened—and, of course, identify those responsible.

“I won’t push any further than that. We’re the ones who went and snuck into your territory, after all. Honestly, I’m impressed you managed to sniff our people out. Maybe I ought to compliment you, one opponent to another.”

The Golden Lion joked, but his eyes were completely devoid of humor.

“Right now, you two are prisoners of war. That means we’re not going to beat you, we’re not going to burn you, and we’re not going to string you up. Do you understand why?”

“Laws of war,” I replied. “Captured enemy soldiers are to be treated humanely?”

“Exactly. That’s all there is to it. That’s all I’m trying to say...” His beast-like eyes shone and shimmered as he drank down his cup. “We’re here to bring our people home—the ones who got captured there in that city of yours. If you happen to know where they were taken, then spit it out now. Your friend shared a drink with me, after all. Just give me that much, and I’ll settle the rest.”

The lion sat cross-legged, calmly staring down at me and Cion. I didn’t sense any violence in his demeanor, but he was unmistakably a man soldiers could entrust their lives to—a general, through and through.

Demons who were taken prisoner in Arshelm...?

I hadn’t heard anything about that from the saint. Unfortunately, Arshelm had been under the jurisdiction of the late Cardinal Kyrius. He’d been a torture-obsessed pervert, but he’d also taken a hardline stance against the demons. For all I knew, he could’ve been capturing them for some sort of experiments or research; it wasn’t hard to imagine...

“Judging by that look, they haven’t told you anything, have they?”

There was a hint of disappointment in his voice, but he refilled his cup of liquor and unlocked our chains.

“We’ve said our piece. If you’re living among the humans, then now’s the time to get going. If you’d rather stay here with us, though, we’ll welcome you with open arms. We don’t abandon our people.”

I was confused for a brief moment, before I realized he was talking about my ears and tail.

“These are merely a sort of magic trick, I’m afraid.” I flicked one of my dog ears with a finger and smiled ruefully. “In any case, as a bride of the Gods, I am bound to return to their side.”

“Let’s pray we don’t meet on the battlefield, then,” he said before turning to Cion. “You too, girlie. Tonight, we’re drinking buddies, so I’ll let you off the hook. But if I see you again out there, I’ll have vengeance for my fallen comrades. I’ll carve their memories into you—every last one.”

Up until that moment, Cion had been flushed and tipsy, but now her eyes widened and the color instantly drained from her face.
