After waiting for several days, Tarith finally answered all the questions that had been weighing heavily on her heart. "Cassia, your brother… has the royal mark."
"Royal mark?"
"Just like the god clans, the demon clans have their own ranks: low, mid, high, noble, and royal. However, the God Realm has exterminated all high-ranking demons and above. If a demon evolves to a high rank, they will immediately send someone to eliminate it."
"What about me?"
"You're a special case. I cannot determine your exact level, but the God Realm seems able to sense your presence. Fortunately, my fears were unfounded. That night, I thought they might come after you as well, since our aura-blocking seal wasn't strong enough. But it seems you're safe… for now."
Cassia lowered her gaze slightly.
No… they had sensed her. They had almost found her. Her survival instinct had driven her to reinforce the barrier. But she chose not to tell her father. She didn't want him to worry even more.
