Apparently, there could've been casualties.
Namely, one human aide who wouldn't have made it out alive if Kael had actually pursued his original plan.
Because out of nowhere, the annoyingly tantalizing "demon" lord said, "I was planning on telling you when we got to sharing secrets."
Riley's eye twitched so violently that even the golden lizard raised a brow. His head snapped up, face twisting in disbelief so sharp it almost looked comical.
"What do you mean? Aren't we already sharing secrets?!" he demanded, his voice caught somewhere between outrage and panic.
Kael tilted his head slightly, gaze steady. "Are we? How could that be when there are still so many things in there?" He pointed at Riley's head.
Riley looked personally offended. "Excuse me?! I just shared an extremely important secret earlier! Do you have any idea how mortifying that was?"
The dragon blinked slowly. "You mean the part about being a degenerate?"
