A.N. A new week, a new chapter! I just noticed that this fic finally has over 20K words. That means that this will show up on more search options.

Chapter 66 - My Sadist Boss

Tyrian watched as his Goddess picked up the ringing Scroll laying next to her. Salem merely held the object to her ear for a moment before she set the item on the table and switched to speaker.

"YOU STUPID BINT! WHY THE EFF ARE YOU ATTACKING ATLAS!"

Tyrian's face paled in horror at the sheer audacity of Rory's words. Somehow, Salem only chuckled at Rory's language and answered back.

"Whatever do you mean, dear Aurora."

"I had to run through the whole city while dodging your stupid Grimm - without any Aura! Sure, they can't attack me. But it doesn't matter that they don't attack me if they can't see me! I almost got trampled TWICE! I thought I was gonna waste a life from a hit-and-run and I want to know WHY AREN'T YOU STOPPING IT!"

"Dear Aurora, you must remember. I may hold the leash - but my creatures are given free rein when I'm not around. I could tell them to stop, but why would I?"

"Because escalation! Didn't you say that Ozpin's holding back the big guns cause of that stupid cold war attitude you both have going on? What about the unwritten rules! No involving the public unless you have a way around it! We're not getting any Maidens or Relics from this, so why antagonize the old fossil?"

"The Grimm must follow their directive. If Humans and Faunus believe themselves above the natural way - that they can self induce panic and misery without consequence - then they must learn the error of their ways."

"So you're telling me - that the Queen of all Grimm who's orders are above even their natural instincts - is basically telling Atlas to go fuck themselves... because you want to punish them?"

"Exactly."

*BEEEEEEEP* The Scroll call was ended from Rory's side and Tyrian watched as Salem merely let the sound drawl out. Still smiling, Salem made a hum of approval.

"We have the nicest talks. Don't we Tyrian?"

"Yes, my Queen."

Nope, he still didn't get their relationship.
