"You had one job, Kara. A simple job for the daughter of Azazel. But what did you do instead? You lay with my son-in-law. You've defied both the rules of demons and men."
Kara stood up. "I did what I had to do for the better of our kingdom," she said in defense.
"The better of our kingdom?" Azazel's voice changed into a thunderous demonic one. "You allowed the bastard to live and told him what he was. By doing that, you strengthened his position and weakened ours."
