Vex then returned her gaze to me and shook her head while responding in full. "As you should know, the Consortium is no longer doing its best to remain on the good side of the duke. You've made this revelation of yours with impeccable timing… a few weeks ago you would've put me in a troublesome position. All that is to say, no, you don't have to worry about me or the others under Black Fang's wing, but I strongly advise you to keep this a secret from others. "
"I see… Before you people make plans involving my Heralds, run it by me first. I might not be as strong as you, but I have a lot more tricks under my belt. If I wanted to, I could make your lives a living hell."
My girls tensed upon hearing my words, but Vex's grin only increased as a result, before she clapped proudly. "I like your attitude, future hubby. A man's gotta know when to put his feet down. I was curious how you would react to my statement. As far as I'm concerned, you passed with flying colors."
