Evelise froze. A striking blush spread across her cheeks, and she was momentarily speechless. Oshan, still standing guard in Sid's streamer jacket, stared intently at her Lady, clearly noticing her unusually flustered reaction.
"Silence!"
Evelise snapped, forcing her emotional control back into place. She pointed a demanding finger at Oshan.
"Oshan! Lift him. Now!"
Oshan moved instantly, like a soldier programmed for absolute obedience.
"On your command, my lady."
The giant woman walked over to Sid, gently but firmly scooped him up off his feet with effortless ease, cradling him in her large arms like a child. Sid's masculinity completely folded as the SSR Tank lifted him.
"Holy crap!"
Sid muttered, hanging limp in Oshan's hold.
"You really are something Evelise. It's like you have my power— that I can command my revived zombie girl in absolute obedience. That's... frightening."
Evelise ignored his commentary, marching toward the grand chamber door.
