Infinity: Rising of the Soul Weavers

Closing the door behind, the mayor led Raven towards one side of the large bed. This side was adjacent to a wide mirrored wall that made the room look significantly larger.

Looking inside the mirror, at her daughter, the mayor smiled and nodded in approval. 

Her daughter is really pretty!

"Mom?" Raven was confused by what was going to happen…

"Shush, be patient!" The mayor urged her.

"Uhm," Raven could only nod in defeat and sit on the bed silently. Kayla and Gaia sat on her shoulders as usual.

The mayor sat beside her, looking at the door from time to time. She looked lost in thoughts, but a strange smile was plastered across her face.

Seeing that, Raven pouted. She had a feeling that she was walking into a trap of sorts…

As if remembering something all of a sudden, she looked up at the mayor again and adopted a serious expression.

"Mom, how is everything in the Demon Realm?" Raven asked.

As part of the war preparations, Raven and most of the strong individuals of the Demon Realm were called out for battle. As such, a leader was needed to be left in order to take charge of the situation here.

And what other person would Raven entrust with such a task other than her own mother? Of course, the mayor was left in charge!

Although many presidents and leaders of different countries had opposed making a mere mayor of a city the leader of an entire world, none could really make a difference.

In front of Raven who was a Soul Weaver, the Supreme Ruler of the Demon Realm, and the temporary Commanding General, all country leaders and presidents were mere political clowns! And their value, to her, was even smaller than a tiny ant; ants would at least do things quietly, but those leaders wanted everyone to hear of their insignificant opinions!

Not to mention that many country leaders were left on the Human Plane, either by choice or by an order from Raven. Obviously, the Demon Realm can\'t fit every human on the planet! 

And even the environment here is not as suitable for humans to live in for an extended period of time.

Overall, the leaders of the world had to bow their head and accept Raven\'s decision, whether they liked it or not!

With that being said, only the minority were such pests. The majority were very understanding and they all appreciated Raven\'s full support and they themselves reciprocated with good intentions!

After all, they all had one goal; they all wanted to protect their people and ensure the survival of planet Earth!

"The situation is pretty stable here," the mayor answered the question honestly. "We can\'t see or feel the impact of the invasion on this side at all. But everyone is still working hard in order to produce more weapons, ammunition, medicinal pills, and other supplies for the frontlines!"

"Uhm, that\'s good!" Raven nodded in approval. "But please don\'t let your guard down, we don\'t know what methods the angels have, they might have a way of reaching the Demon Realm!"

"When that happens, the situation might get very precarious. At the same time however, you don\'t need to overthink it. Kay will notify me whenever something like this happens and if Liz is not ready to join the battle, I\'ll come in person!"

"I know," the mayor replied softly, seeing how Raven was trying to reassure her. But then she adopted the serious tone of a leader: "I have already instructed everyone to be on guard. Additionally, we have guards and soldiers watching every corner of the Demon Realm. If someone shows up, we\'ll hear of it and counter in a timely manner!"

She dared not treat her role easily, and it wasn\'t just because she was concerned about people\'s lives; In a way, she was also trying to prove herself to her daughter!

She wanted to say that yes, I can do it too! I can carry your burden, even if it is only a tiny portion of it!

Raven obviously understood that and smiled softly. She didn\'t comment any further.

A few minutes later, a knock came from the door.

"Come in!" The mayor ordered.

The door gently swung open as two demon maids entered slowly. One of them was the one who was standing in front of the door before and the other was a new face.

The first was carrying a big wooden chair in her two arms as she entered. Although the wooden chair looked heavy, she was carrying it with ease thanks to her demonic nature. The other maid was holding an elegant dark wooden box.

"Your Grace," both maids quickly bowed their heads respectfully towards Raven as they placed whatever they had in their hands on the floor.

Raven nodded gently at them.

"Mrs. O\'Bannon, we have everything you need!" The two maids smiled excitedly while bowing towards the mayor too.

Raven was suddenly startled, not because of what the two demon maids said, but because of how they said it.

\'What the heck? Why are they so restrained when they\'re talking to me, but so easy going when talking to my mom?\' Raven complained to Kayla quietly. \'And they even call her something normal instead of Lady or Mistress… Kay, am I scary?\'

\'Hehe, don\'t be silly, you\'re not scary…\' Kayla reassured her with a chuckle. \'But Abbadon is!\'

\'Abbadon?\' Raven was confused. \'What did he do? What does he have to do with this?\'

\'Oh, you poor little thing…\' Kayla almost burst out laughing. But it\'s no wonder Raven wasn\'t aware of how Abbadon acted behind her back, she has always been too busy to notice.

Raven was so confused, but she didn\'t want to entangle with this any further. She decided to ask Abbadon about it later.

"Good!" The mayor clapped happily. "Please, start setting it up!"

"Yes, ma\'am!" The two demon maids replied quickly and started working.

\'Set it up?\' Raven tilted her head in confusion, suddenly feeling cold all over her body.
