Katsu, Scarlett and Sara stand before the highest forms of authority in the Uncharted kingdom, their posture one demanding their at most attention.
With a calm voice, Katsu speaks to them, turning away from the King entirely.
Katsu : well, what's wrong, don't tell me you didn't expect me, the demon lord of all people to arrive at your little gathering, I'm hurt, disappointed even.
Everyone in the throne room was shocked, this boy, this young man, this arrogant young man is standing before the highest authorities in the entire kingdom and yet his not giving them the respect the deserve.
A cold sweat spread across the faces of everyone, the magic Katsu was emitting was intense, as if death itself looked right at them, the flinched at his moments watching his every move closely.
Katsu walked towards Herald, his movements slow and paced. As he stood in front of of Herald, he gave him a warm smile.
He spoke to Herald his voice calm and reserved, but with a hint of dark intent.
Katsu :Oh king Herald, the ruler of this realm, it's an honor to make your acquiesce.
He said leaning closer.
"Now let's cut to the serious matters st hand Herald, I'm here to make done demands and I expect you to listen to my demands with fail, do you agree?. Katsu asked waiting for Heralds response.
The one of the kings son's, a tall imposing man walks towards katsu, his body covered in golden armor, his neck covered in jewels, his chiseled chin and impressive facial features on full display.
His name is Maximus, the eldest child of Herald, he approached Katsu and but his hand on katsu's shoulder, then he spoke, his tone confident and unnerved;
Maximus : Well I see that you have quite the nerve, coming here uninvited as if you're some kind of special guest, well I don't care who you are, so if you would please take your hand off my father!!. He said in a commanding tone.
Katsu looked at him, his eyes narrowing slightly as he looked Maximus up and down, his expression that of absolute disgust.
Katsu : Get you hand off of me. He said to Maximus, his eyes filling with fury
Maximus looked into katsu's eyes, he laughed at his attempt at a threat, mocking the demon lord to his face.
Maximus :(laughing hysterically), oh my, you call that a threat, it was mere child's play(he says while wiping away tears, now as I said before, let go of my.... He was cut off suddenly.
Sara had come in from of him, st the moment he was speaking, she reached into his mouth and pull out his tongue, the organ flickering in her hand as she held it up for all to see.
Maximus reaches for his mouth, the screams of his pain and suffering feeling the whole room, he fell to his knees, clinching his mouth.
Sara stepped forward, she placed her boot on the back of his neck, bringing his head to the hard marble floor.
She began pressing her boot on Maximus's head, slowly stepping on him, she increased the force, stepping harder upon his head.
Her boot sinking into his skull, Maximus gripped Sara's foot, trying to free himself from the hellish assault upon his pride. His mouth open as blood continued to flow out onto the floor.
He began chocking on his own blood, but Sara continued to step on him, now feeling his head start cracking beneath her foot. Sara looked at Katsu, Katsu looked back, nodding his head as a sign of approval.
As a sign of her Lord and Master, Sara used as much force as possible in order to crush Maximus's skull, the sounds of his grunts feeling the room. Sara pressed on, maximus's eyes reddening from the shear pain and trauma.
Maximus looked to his father, his mother, his sister, stretching his hand, seeking their help, any form of him from the suffering his receiving, tears fall from his eyes as he sees his family look away.
"You shouldn't have touched the Demon lord, now you die, but don't worry, we'll see you in the underworld". Sara told Maximus.
With this, she pressed on his skull one last time, Maximus screamed in pain as she did this. With one final raise of her boot, she dropped it onto his skull, the skull shattering with the force she had delivered, breaking the marble flooring beneath them.
It caused maximus's brain matter to platter on the faces of most of the attendees, many vomiting from the scene while many are k shock and disbelief.
Sara raised her boot, disgusted by the remains on her boots, she spat upon the corpse as she wiped her boot on his remains.
Sara : Disgusting creature, I hope you burn In the underworld for the sin of laying your hands on my Lord. She said.
Katsu looked into king Herald's eyes, his own cold and calculating against Herald's scared and worry filled eyes.
He spoke with a tone of mockery, his hand gripping Herald's shoulder tighter;
" now that all unnecessary distractions are gone, let's begin the discussion upon my demands". Katsu says with a warm smile on his face, as he gently taps Herald's face with his hand.
He let's go of Herald's shoulder, he steps back steps back, and eventually sits on the high priestess lap, Sara and Scarlett follow, standing side their Lord.
The high priestess uncomfortable and enraged tries to move, but Sara and Scarlett unleash a small amount of their bloodlust, a friendly reminder to Seraphina that death is the outcome of any action she'll make.
Katsu leans back, her arms resting upon Seraphina's his, he speaks, his tone calm and collected.
"Alright, now that I'm comfortable, let us begin the meeting, so Herald, as you already know, I'm here to make a list of demands, demands that I need to be fulfilled". Katsu says, leaning back into the high priestess.
" I'll need these demands to be fulfilled with the time limit of three hours, and each and every one of them must be provided to me without fail, so shall I state me demands, your Highness ". Katsu says, his tone mocking.
Herald looks at Katsu, his expression one of fury, anger and hate, but he manages to calm himself, and eventually he agrees.
Herald : Alright, state your demands, and I'll fulfill them to the best of my abilities and resources.
Katsu smiles, his eyes lighting up In excitement, he speaks, while holding a finge up.
One: I would like you to hand over all your military power to me, all the soldiers should be at my disposal, their loyalty should be to me only.
Two : you'll provide me with financial aid, any finances and expenses I require, you must provide for me, with out fail.
Three : In light of your late son's behavior towards me, I only see this as a fair enough punishment, so I'll be taking your wife, your daughter, all the maidens of your palace, and the high priestess as compensation for his attitude towards me.
These are the demands Katsu has made towards the king of the uncharted kingdom, the whole room falls silent, there disbelief and outrage towards Katsu evident on their faces.
The stand up, each looking at Katsu with murderous intent, the Royal guards prepare themselves to attack, swords posed and ready, they move forward, their eyes set on Katsu.
Sara and Scarlett stand in front of him, ready to protect their Lord, Scarlett's skin begins to change, from the pale color to a more dark grey color, her horns straighten and curve upwards.
King Herald stands up from his throne, his eyes ablaze as he stares down Katsu, his fists clenched to his sides, his eyes red from pure hate.
Herald : you must take me as some old, weak fo for your amusement, I am King Herald The IV, ruler of the uncharted kingdom, and I will not be made a fool by some young pathetic man who hides behind two women for safety. He hisses.
"You must take use for fools, well demon Lord, who is the fool here, you're surrounded, completely at my mercy, I could kill you right here right now!! Herald hisses.
Katsu how ever smiles at his threats, his smile turning into a grin as Scarlett and Sara step to his sides.
Katsu : Then do it, prove to me that you're not some weak helpless old fool that can kill me with a single command of your army, kill me here right where I stand. Katsu says to Herald, as he walks towards Herald.
He grabs a sword from one of the knights, and hands it to him, his eyes looking directly into him.
"Here, cut my head off, let it roll and my blood spill on the floor, well king, your move" Katsu says.
Herald raises the sword, ready to swing, his hands are covered in sweat, his trembling, his body shaking, then he drops the sword, looking down in defeat.
Katsu : that's what I thought. Katsu says.
"You have three hours to provide my demands, or else they will be consequences". Katsu adds.
2 hours, 58 minutes and 34 seconds until the deadline.
