"Some of the troops found a scouting party of lower level demon slayers near the castle", my hand, Hitoshi, informed. He stood next to my throne reading what has happened over the past couple of days.
I rest my cheek against my fist. My sharp nails rhythmically tapped the arm rest of my throne. He stopped reading when he noticed my bored look on my face.
"..Moving on, I have news about him", he told. My head instantly turned towards him.
"What about him", I questioned turning in my seat. I placed my right elbow on the left arm rest of my throne, my chin resting in my palm of my hand. Hitoshi just turned towards me. A frown present on his face.
"Your grace, you should be worrying about other things", he commented. "I have already worried about other things", I frowned turning away from him. "Such as", he questioned.
"Demon slayers needing to be killed, humans needing to be eaten et cetera et cetera", I answered waving my hand in the air.
"One of the hashiras were in the area", he informed. "....Why didn't you tell me", I fussed.
"I assumed you knew, your Grace", he replied stoically. "Back when I was human I could have you tortured for back talk", I told. "Then torture me your Grace", he replied offering his hands out towards me.
"Do you wish to chop my fingers or rat torture, I believe I can arrange a few rats to be delivered to your room", he offered. "I'm too tired for torture", I sighed. "Demons may start think you're weak if you allow back talk", he commented. "Let them, I'll just torture them when I see fit", I countered.
"So tell me about him, has he gotten tired of his whore already", I scoffed. "As you ordered, she has became boring", he reported. A smile crept onto my face.
"I'm assuming that snake demon enjoyed his snack. A human woman with a bastard in her belly the perfect snack", I snickered.
A small smile crept onto his face.
"You're cruel my grace", he replied. "We're demons Hitoshi, it is our nature to be cruel", I stated. "We were all humans once. We all were warm flesh and filled with just as warm blood", he replied.
"Then we died", I said. "The human part of us at least".
"We all died soon as his blood entered our bodies. We won't ever return being human or be rid of the hunger for flesh and bone, so why not accept what we are", I explained leaning back in my throne. "Morals", Hitoshi commented. "The demons who develop or hold onto their morals can never truly survive", I told. "Hence why I let go of mine long ago", I added.
