The walk back to his chambers was a journey through two different worlds.
The serene, silent halls of the Faerie Queen's private wing, steeped in ancient magic and a profound quiet, felt a universe away from the chaotic, lust-fueled energy he had left behind in his own room just hours before.

It was a moment of surprising tenderness, a stark contrast to the raw, dominant claiming he had enacted upon Sabrina.
As he approached the door to his chambers, however, he felt a shift in the air. A familiar, potent energy hummed from behind the wood, a dual signature of demonic and succubus power that was both inviting and undeniably expectant. A slow, knowing smirk touched his lips.
He had a feeling his night of diplomacy was over, and his night of pleasure was about to begin.
