The Tower

Chapter 8

[Azriel]

It was a long night and a difficult thing to pull off to get her to bust out but she did it and I got here safe and sound. She's weakened by gravity but with her abilities and a little magic, she will recover in a month's time. I should seriously get her some clothing and a haircut though. Everyone knows 'the girl in the tower', a young girl with extremely long blue hair and in a black dress with feathered wings. For the sake of the people, the papers never mentioned her horns or the wings pigment. I will get her some better fitting clothes and a haircut as soon as I can so she could join me on walks to get her body to working order. She will be weak until her body adjusts so I must keep her safe at all costs. I get up after covering her and go to the living room to call up my boss.

"Hello Sire. I know it's been a while since I called but she finally did it Sire. She broke out of her glass cage all on her own. With my escort out of the tower of course. We are in the little motel on the edge of the city. Excellent news! I've been waiting for this! I assume you mean the room I rented to you? Yes I mean the one you gave me. Put her on, I long to hear her voice. She's sleeping right now, she really- Just for a moment, I just want to hear her for myself. Yes, I understand but in her state she needs rest Sire. She better be in better shape the next time you dare to call me! She will be. Make certain of it, I will not have you failing now. Of course. Have you figured out a way to hide her while she heals? I'll take her shopping soon as I get her body adjusted. She should be able to hide just fine once she is on her feet again. Why not give her a dose of my blood? it would heal her at once. No that might hurt her in this state. Fine but... I don't like this Azriel. I know. I expect her to be dressed in all she asks for and deserves and her to be stunning after she is cleaned up. Of course! Only the best for your princess! See to it she is. Yes I will. I'm giving your card access to my account.Thank you my liege. I expect her to be here in one month, I have waited long enough. Of course, one month's time and we will come to visit her dad. He will be pleased, as will I. Yes I expect so. You have done well. Thank you. Report back when you have good news. Goodbye Sire."

I sigh and end the call on my phone. I guess he really is worried about the girl. I know the Church gave her a name but it hardly does the girl any justice. I ought to name her myself but her father can do that. I'll call her my princess for now, feels more fitting for a little servant like myself.

I head back in to check on her and hear her stirring in the bed. I look into the room and see her tossing a bit in her sleep. I go over and pet her wings, she calms down and nods off again. I will be trying to have her sleep a lot. Her body will heal better when she rests and can work on muscle mass when she has the energy.

She settles down and I relax with her, leaning on the pillows and gently start to heal the wounds on her neck and back. Those linked tubes left some serious scarring, the holes in her back have already healed over with skin. I frown a little, the poor girl had holes made in her neck and back just so they didn't have to go in and monitor her themselves. I place a hand on the one in her neck and start to heal it, letting the magic carefully and painlessly heal the wound. It the largest bore down to her spinal column so it's only for her well being that I have to close it. I kiss her head as I heal her other holes with more ease, making sure she remains asleep as I work my magic the best I can to heal her quickly. To help amplify her magic I try to give her some of mine, but I see it bounce off her. I hadn't expedited her to be this powerful so soon. I'll have to find another way to speed up her magic, she seemed to get a lot when she broke the pumps but most of it dispersed and was semi-processed. The systems will run for.... Eons, never risking a power out. They will be fine and never need her again. But now, she needs me, and I can't let her down.

I kiss her forehead and go over to the computer I have set up on my desk in the room. I have to find a way to get her magic back but a transfer like normal won't work, I'm too weak to share my magic with someone so powerful.

However there are injections you can buy, they aren't cheap but for her they might as well be free. I get to the website and look up the ones for the highest demons, the regal injections. I know they are for the king and my boss and some elites, but for the princess, I'm sure that rule can be lifted. I get 5, racking up the expense to almost 100,000 Tults. I type in my phone number because I know to place the order I need to be checked I'm not buying it for illegal or selfish reasons. The phone shortly rings after I hit enter as I pick up.

"Hello sir? You are interested in the Royal injections? We have a few questions if you would bear with us." A lady says on the phone.

"Of course. I'll answer whatever you need." I reply happily.

"First I will need to know who these are being bought for." She asks.

"I work for the em.... Let's nicely call him the Devil's big brother. He has tasked me to help a girl he cares deeply about, without being able to leave her alone long enough to come get them myself, this is my only option." I answer.

"OH You work for him?! Sorry for the trouble! Will he be paying for them?" She exclaims.

"Yes, the proper Tults will be transferred within a few minutes. Any information you need?" I ask.

"Yes, your name please? We want to be sure this isn't a scam, not that it is suspected but it's policy." She says, I could hear the shyness in her voice, seemed like a fan of the boss.

"Azriel Gliko." I reply.

"Thank you, one last thing, more of a personal question really... Do you mind?"

"I do not."

"What kind of girl requires magic so rare?" She asks and I take a breath, I know this would have to come up sooner or later.

"The King's Daughter. She's alive and under my care. Please keep this news quiet for now, it will spread when the time is right. Also check the order, it should be able to go through now." I say, fiddling with a pen in my fingers.

"Of course! I'll have the order on the top priority to your location. Thank you so much for using us to fulfill such an important task!" She says happily, hanging up. I smile and see the order go through, said it would be here before sunrise. I go over to the girl, gently petting her wings. I can take care of her just as I did in the lab, I have to.
