[Is there a ranking for Daemon bloodlines?]
[There is,] Lilith replied. [The same ranking the demons use now.]
Simon raised an eyebrow.
[Lesser, Common, Noble, and Royal?]
[Yes. They kept the old bloodline ranking system.]
He had expected something unfamiliar after everything she had told him about the Primordial Daemon. Instead, she was giving him terms he'd learned while living among the weakest demons.
[Then where did the ancestors I encountered belong?]
[The first two Daemons you reached had Lesser bloodlines.]
Simon recalled the ivory-skinned figure, its horns curving beside its jaw. He had thought reaching it would finish the evolution. Then the path had brought him to another wingless ancestor, with lights beneath its dark skin and branching horns.
Both had made him struggle to remain standing.
[Those two only had Lesser Bloodlines?]
