"Hostages?" Stella asked while giving Kael a knowing smile, "If that is how you see it then yes?"
Hearing this, Eidel and Ruda took a step back and their claws were bared. The flames and Eidel's fur burned and purple electricity surged around Ruda.
"I expected nothing less," Kael suddenly said, surprising everyone including Stella.
"I'll agree as long as you promise not to lay a hand on them, you're not to even place any rune on them at all," Kael said.
His words stunned Eidel, Ruda, and Chloe, what was Kael talking about? Was he seriously agreeing to this?
"Hmm," Stella thought about Kael's words for a moment, she had indeed planned on putting runes in them right from the start.
But Kael would never allow it, especially after he had seen those exploding rats.
"Why did you agree so quickly? I was expecting you to put up a fight," Stella said truthfully, this confused her and she couldn't help but feel a bit uncertain.
