The Throne Room of the Demon Kings Castle

One Month Later

Lucius, otherwise known as The Reaper, sits in silence with a book open in one hand as one of the many dukes in the room he forgets their name speaks of the most recent war update from Earth to the Royal Court, As you all are well aware, we have been pushed back over two dozen kilometers during the past month thanks to the Princesss interference in the war. During this time, we have lost over ten million Class I through III demons to her plagues and the rest of the humans taking advantage of Her Highnesss kindness. However, we have also managed to send another fifteen million Class I through III demons through the several hundred Gates that have opened up all throughout the continent we have claimed.

The Reaper glances at the Demon King, who he finds sitting on the throne with an indifferent look in his eyes. The same look that hes had since he made his agreement with the Princess.

His motivation for seeing this war through seems to have decreased.

While Her Highness has caused a vast number of casualties amongst our numbers, she isnt the only one, some duchess Lucius cant remember the name of and doesnt feel like bothering to identify them to find out says from the other end of the long table from him. Amongst the humans, all of the Class Vs are taking down just as many of our number, even with our own Nobles keeping them in line. Luciuss eyes narrow slightly when she glances towards the Lord of Hellfire and adds, But their Knights are dealing too big a blow to our Nobles every time we send them out. At this rate we wont be able to keep up on the high level playing field for long.

Your Majesty, might I make a request? another duke asks, bringing The Reapers gaze towards the King, who is finally narrowing his eyes, showing more attention to the matters at hand.

The Princesss uncle and her mother. Understandable.

Before The Reaper can respond, he turns to look at The Devourer, who had stirred slightly from her nap at the mention of the Blue Knight of Humanity.

Right. If Im not mistaken, the Lady of Devouring was the one responsible for devouring that Knights emotions.

Luciuss eyes narrow for a second before he focuses on the Demon King again and says, Very well, Your Majesty. Your will be done.

I do wonder though, will Her Highness return to Tartarus to find her mother and uncle living well and with her uncles emotions back? Or will the Blue Knight fall prey to the Devourers maw once more?

The Reaper ponders over this for little more than a brief second before looking around the room once more and then reopening his book in a lethargic motion, denying his hunger throughout the process.

Then he begins reading once more, ignoring the rest of the Court Session.
