A Consort At Court

A Consort At Court is the fortieth chapter of Tales of Sheol'gotha:  Shadow of the Abaddon.

Synopsis
Sharess watches as a petitioner from the east makes demands of Nazrin, claiming that the inaction of the abaddon is isolating the east, and that King Zagan will not lend his support. She looks to Abaddon, seeing him stale and silent, harsh in contrast to the leader she knew as a youth who decimated castles with his hordes, but even as she considers this Abaddon launches himself from the throne and guts the emissary. Hja joins the fray, slaying the emissary's two guards who were uninvolved in the debacle.

As De-jin sits she begins commenting about Valon being dangerous, causing Sharess to start biting back at her. When De-jin rises up to attack her, Sharess withdraws to shield her baby and draws her own blood to use in her magic. The small amount causes Hja to back away in agony, and Iwotha steps between the two on Sharess' side.

Iwotha refutes claims that Sharess is not loyal to the abaddon, and states that she will prove such a claim. De-jin agrees, taking the opportunity to see the succubus humiliated before the assembly, and Sharess slowly approaches Abaddon with the intent of engaging in sexual acts with him.
