Before midnight, Uoiea and Zeno managed to return to the secret passage leading to the princess' secret chamber, the place with a huge tree standing at its center.
At first, this was one of their secret meeting places, but as the demon left the demon army, it became his personal home.
Zeno stared at the large magical tree; even though he had seen it several times, he still couldn't understand the mystery behind the thing.
It was like a separate dimension, something like a deity's place, but he knew for a fact that it wasn't. After all, the place was too cramped for them and their battalion of angels.
"We're here," Zeno whispered and glanced behind.
The princess was sleeping soundly on his back while the red lion was following their trail in silence.
"Uoiea, we're here," the demon repeated.
This time, he gently tapped the woman's head to wake her up from deep slumber.
"Hmmnn," Uoiea hummed, still with her eyes closed.
