Grand King Daemonikai turned, a smile tugging at his lips, one he couldn’t suppress no matter how hard he tried. “I don’t know about you, Vladya, but I am having such a beautiful day.”

Vladya arched a brow as he dipped his head in a polite bow. “Your Grace.”

“Spare me the bullcrap.” Daemonikai waved a dismissive hand resuming his pace, hands clasped behind his back.

He hadn’t even realized he’d been whistling.

“This isn’t about me–it’s about you,” Vladya shot back, rolling his eyes. “And with all due respect, could you quit trying to change the subject?”

“Your ears should be cut off,” Daemonikai muttered under his breath.
