Chapter 71 – Considerations

Chapter 23 – Old Friends
The day went by relatively easily. I was not planning any major moves for the next couple days, after all. Oh, I had plans for dealing with Skye’s husband, but that would wait for the weekend. My Priestess was arranging a suitable cover, that would also serve ...

With my summoner having finally reached the level where we could pool our abilities to summon devils, I brought forth the first lawyers of the realm. Negotiations were relatively pleasant, and we both came out of it without selling our souls or anything like that. How...
