"The Lady honours us with her grace!"
Suddenly, the respectful greetings of two people sounded.
Looking around at the Teleportation Gate again, Abbadon saw two demons dressed in thick heavy armour, guarding the passageway.
Although they had been there even before the arrival of the mistress and her subordinate, Abbadon didn't seem to realize as he was so immersed in the Teleportation Gate itself.
The two demon guards didn't dare look Raven in the eyes, with her being the Supreme Ruler of the Demon Race and all, so they could only look down with bowed heads.
Raven could not help but feel awkward, but she forced a smile and nodded at them. "Good work, you two. You can stay at ease!"
The two demon guards were both at the level of Demon Nobility, specifically two Archdukes!
In the past, this level would only serve as leaders or deputy leaders of the demon race, but now considering the fact that Raven had promoted everyone using her control over souls, most previous Demon Dukes and Archdukes were all promoted into the level of Demon or Devil Lords!
And these two Archdukes are only one level of control and protection left by Kayla on this side.
Coming back to their senses, the two Archdukes just realized that their mistress and Supreme Ruler has just complimented them!
The Demon Race values strength above anything else, and their mistress had proved her strength that allowed the other Ancient Lords to serve under her respectfully.
Receiving a compliment from someone this powerful is a great honour to the two of them!
"It is our honour to serve The Lady!" The two instantly replied, making Abbadon smile in satisfaction.
"Alright, let's go!" Raven smiled as she disappeared into the void passageway with Gaia on her shoulder.
Abbadon nodded at the guards before following his mistress like a shadow.
Behind them, the void seemed to be turbulent for a second before calming down in just a few seconds.
After they were gone, the two demon guards waited for some time in silence.
Making sure no one was around, they suddenly looked at each other, smiling from ear to ear, enjoyment obvious in their eyes.
***
The trip through the void passageway was rather bumpy and turbulent as the void twisted and made the trio feel a little uncomfortable, but that only lasted for a quick second.
On the other side, Raven opened her eyes and looked around, feeling slightly dizzy, but it was nothing serious.
Abbadon was by her side as always, but he was looking around as if to make sure they were indeed in the Demon Realm.
"The Lady honours us with her grace!"
Respectful greetings sounded again as the armoured demon guards assigned to this side of the Teleportation Gate realized it was their Supreme Ruler who had just teleported over.
"Uhm, thanks for your hard work!" Raven nodded with a sincere smile.
Looking at her smile the two guards instantly felt warm and smiled subconsciously, appreciation visible in their expressions.
Before they had a chance to react and respond with a few words of respect however, Raven was already strolling away.
Abbadon behind her gave the guards a cold look that made them shake in their boots. Feeling the grim reaper's touch, the two of them wanted to say something, but alas, Raven and Abbadon were gone already.
Waiting for a few minutes and making sure they were the only ones left near the Teleportation Gate, the two looked at each other wryly while swallowing loudly.
"Lord Abbadon is even scarier than they say he is…" the more courageous of the two guards said in a hushed voice.
"Right!" The other guard answered while nodding fiercely. "But Lady Raven is so precious!"
"Shut up!" The first guard suddenly yelled in panic.
"What? Are you saying that she's not?" The second guard suddenly felt his anger rising.
"No, you idiot!" The first guard scolded. "How can I say that she's not precious? Heck, I'd die for her! She's so noble and majestic, yet so cute and casual! She subconsciously makes people around her feel important and valued!"
"Yes!" The second guard nodded in approval. But then he looked at his mate in a weird manner. "Why did you tell me to shut up?"
"Never call her by her name!" The first guard said in a hushed voice while looking around, as if trying to hide a pot of pure gold and make sure he doesn't get seen or heard by another living soul. "Always call her 'The Lady' or 'Mistress', never use her name!"
"Huh, why? Judging from her character, she would not care. Didn't you see how she complimented us even though we're just doing our jobs?"
"I saw, I saw!" His mate responded, yet for some reason he looked as if he had just seen a ghost. "The Lady doesn't mind that's for sure, but…"
"But what?"
"But Lord Abbadon… he cares…" swallowing loudly, he looked around again to make sure they were alone. "I once heard that an unlucky fella was patrolling inside the city and just like us, he received a compliment from The Lady. From what I heard, that stupid fella got really excited and called her Lady Raven…."
"And... what happened?" The other guard swallowed loudly while looking terrified.
"That fella… he is- he is still being tortured in Lord Abbadon's Domain of the Sinners until this day!!" He suddenly blurted out. Just the mention of this matter made him feel the breath of death.
Naturally, his mate wasn't doing any better. He somehow could feel strange demonic eyes glaring down at him as if looking at an ant that's about to burn to ashes.
The demonic eyes felt strangely familiar, yet he could not actually observe them. However, he could feel a hint of bright golden and blood red mixed in this glare!
"Do you- do- you- do you think we'll also-"
"Shut up!" The first guard yelled, feeling sweat rolling down his back. "Don't jinx it! No one should have heard you say anything so you better shut up if you don't want to live a life worse than death!"
"Y- yes!!" He responded promptly, trying to calm his exponentially rising heart beat.
