Asmodeus's relaxed expression had disappeared, replaced by a rare look of shock that almost never appeared on his face. He remained silent for several moments, staring at the hunched servant as if the words had somehow failed to reach his mind.
The servant eventually gathered enough courage to raise his head.
What he saw startled him.
His master was never shown an expression like this. Not in front of him. Not even when terrible news reached the Demon Realm.
The only time the servant had ever heard of Asmodeus displaying such an expression was during the disaster long ago.
As a low-ranking Demon, the servant had never known what really had happened back then. He also never heard the name Clyde before.
But among the higher-ranking Demons, that name would have caused a very different reaction.
