Perspective: Lorelei
“Markus, how in heaven’s name are you able to stand this heat in all that armor?” I fanned myself in a desperate and useless bid to cool off.
“I’m just as miserable as you are, Lor.” Markus, helmet off, walked beside me.
The whole dang country was far too hot for my comfort. I’d taken to wearing an overlarge sun hat just so I wouldn’t turn as red as a cherry. The local clothing was supposed to help. If it did, I sure didn...

Fuck Malich. At least he was an idiot.
An idiot with an ego and access to power will always have ambitions without the skills to realize them. People like Third Prince Malich were easy to use, but those same ambitions made them dangerous since they’d flaunt their power without concern.
I should know. Fucking hell.

“Third Prince Malich,” I replied as evenly as I could.

I want to write something at the start of each chapter, but there's no way I'm going to be able to do that for all of them in this first chunk.
Chapter 27: Better Than Never
From the outside, Third Prince Malich’s estate didn’t match his personality. I expected gaudy, overwrought design full of clashing elements. What I got instead was white on red with gold accents. Ostentatious, but I he wasa Navanaean prince. To his credit, I doubted anything short of a thick coa...

It begins! The start of a long chunk of chapters being posted all at once.
I had a lot of fun writing this one, and it ended up being one of the longest chapters in the story, even now.
Chapter 26: Fried Rice
The place where we’d chosen to rent a room was better than I dared hope it to be. While the area was only slightly above a slum, I’d expected more filth in the streets. Navanaean architecture and city planning were a step beyond what I had been used to in Or...

Hello Patron and Sovereign Demons!
I've bundled the next two weeks' releases as a single document. Normally, I will post the full chapter text in the post itself and provide a PDF attachment, but I am doing that separately for this section.
If anyone wants me to post these chapters individually in text on Patreon, let me know via a reply to this message or a discord PM and I will put them up.

Hi everyone! First post!!!
This post serves as the monthly cumulative PDF for May 2022 (even if it contains part of June).
I'm open to formatting changes if the color scheme is uncomfortable to read.
