Xara felt an odd moment of pride while her servants placed a purple divan on her huge stone throne. Like she was truly making the seat of the ruler her own. There was even room for a small table and a maid to serve her food from behind the back of the divan.
Once the servants were done, Xara did not waste time before walking over to her enhanced throne and sitting down. Izene had already placed herself behind it with a tray of spiced meat.
"This seems to work just as well as I planned," Xara mused and she leaned her head over the back of the divan. Then she opened her lips and Izene placed a piece of meat on her tongue. The queen began to chew while she laid sideways on the pillows. She did so while making sure she was mostly covered by her purple cloak.
"Remember to take good care of my cloak if there is some official business... that requires its removal," Xara voiced almost like to remind herself. "The price of these things has been going up."
"Do not worry, I have a suitable place for it behind here," Izene replied. "But have you planned where you are going to be fucked?"
"Hmm... I can't exactly do it on the floor, and staining the divan would be troublesome," Xara pondered but then she decided she did not want to think that much about it now. There was some room for her feet in front of the divan and her torso could always be under it while she was being fucked on the edge.
Just when Xara was starting to wonder what to do next, a place guard rushed into the hall. He looked oddly bewildered for a brutish warrior demon.
"There is an invasion," the guard almost shouted.
"How could there be one when I did not authorize one?" Xara asked. Borderline fear flashed into her red eyes just from thinking what might happen to her if she would need to lead an invasion.
"We are being invaded," the guard exclaimed with even more panic than before. Though at a closer inspection he seemed more confused by what he was saying than anything else. Like he did not even understand how they could be invaded.
"Where? How?" Xara demanded.
"The gate fortress, Duke Saul has summoned you to view the invasion," the guard explained.
"View? Then it's a minor one, right?" Xara voiced.
"I'm just relaying the message, how could I know?" the guard shrugged.
"Fine, I will go... but it better be minor," Xara stated and she stood up to leave the hall.

When Xara arrived at the portal fortress Duke Saul controlled, she was immediately brought to the top of one of its towers. Naked Saul was waiting for her there on a divan. Next to him was a dining table filled with all kinds of exotic delicacies that definitely were not of this world.
"I'm glad you made it, the show is still going strong," Saul nodded to the distance where a blue figure was fighting an endless horde of lesser demons on one of the many courtyards of red stone.
"I'm pleased to be invited to witness such a spectacle, there is only one invader?" Xara asked while she tried to see any other places of fighting. But only the towering blue figure was smashing the demons into oblivion while being cloaked by azure flames.
"Just one but he is special, if I'm not entirely wrong, he is a demigod and that means some god has most likely given him a quest," Saul explained. "Since there is no other reason for him to come here alone."
"Right, I will be going then, if his quest is to slay the local ruler, no point making it that easy," Xara voiced and she began taking steps towards the stairs.
"Hmm, I guess that might be correct but he is already heading this way," Saul shrugged and before Xara was able to turn around, a hulking mass of meat landed next to her.
"Heed me, fallen creatures, if you answer my questions I will let you keep existing," the demigod boomed. "For I'm Jason and my word is steel."
"We listen and we obey," Saul stated with playfully lifted hands. He did not even drop the chunk of blue meat he was holding.
"I'm here to seek out the strongest of demons, the rest you don't need to be concerned with," came Jason's explanation. "So point me to the ruler of this land."
"The ruler of this land is not exactly the strongest," Saul replied.
"I will not play the games of demons, you, the tainted angel, if there is any good left in you, tell me where is the one I seek," Jason boomed and his golden eyes bore deep into Xara and she felt naked despite being covered by her purple cloak.
"The most powerful ruler I know is far into the north," Xara offered after a hard swallow.
"Very well, you will guide me," Jason nodded and he lunged to grab Xara from her waist. And in the next moment, both of them soared into the sky. The speed was way faster than even the queen was used to and she was almost shocked from the hard impact the two came down on top of a hill. Once the dust faded around them, she barely saw the massive towers of Vulkar in the distance.
"Now that we are away from those demons, let us talk more. I sense enough divinity in you to trust you a bit more than a demon," Jason voiced while he stared down at Xara. She gave glances around her only to see more of the wasteland, there was no real cover and if the demigod was able to sense her, it would not have even mattered if she tried to escape. So there was only one option for her.
