Anput PoV
Sitting beside Mother, I shivered slightly as I felt her gaze on my body, before realizing slightly as Mom turned her head towards us, making Mother flinch.
Poking at the pancakes before me, I found that, for the first time in a long time, I had no appetite to speak of, so I just lifted up my cup and sipped on the tea, alleviating my parched throat.
The 'smile' that Mother was giving me, paired with the intense session we had last night made that a near impossible task, as even after I finished the cup and poured myself a new one, my mouth was still dry.
"Lorelei, Miss Kio, would you like to talk to your daughters in private? Anubi and I need to talk to the young Asmodia... alone."
The Empress' words were soft and gentle, and she gave Jahi a warm smile; as for Mom, she was as stoic as ever, but her ears twitched as she looked at the blue Demoness.
Mother's smile grew wider, and she nodded.
