I don't own legend of sun knight or any of its characters.
The demon king is bored
The demon king was bored; because even thou the cathedral itself were quite luxurious, nothing amusing was there. 'Even annoying Awaitsun has lost its appeal' Grisia thought while he sat at demon king's throne. His face leaned on his palm.
"So boring! Should I go out to play with heroes again?" He asked aloud of no one in particle, and then answered himself "No. None of them are good enough. They are a bunch of thieves."
He turned to Awaitsun. "Do you have any idea?" He smirked "Should I go destroy a few castles?"
Awaitsun bowed his head " Whatever you seem right, your highness"
"Puff… you are not fun anymore" He turned his head away irritably. "Nothing to do, I'm going back to sleep" He stood up and went back to his chamber.
After he left, Awaitsun allowed himself to reflect worry he felt inside himself. Scarlet who had seen changes on Awaitsun's face come to him. "He is getting bored. How worrisome" She said while tilting her head cutely.
Awaitsun nodded; his face tight. "Yes, indeed. His boredom could be death of many innocent people"
Scarlet's face became unreadable "That's nothing to do with me. My only concern is how I can make my child happy again. If destroying castles is what it takes then its fine by me."
Hearing her reply Awaitsun get frozen for a few seconds then he said with a little anger mixed in his polite tone "Then why are you talking to me? You surely know by now where silent eagle stands"
Scarlet nodded serenely; her childish face oddly serious. "I know and that is why I need you to do something for me"
Awaitsun watched her with suspicion "I'm all ear"
Scarlet swatted back her hair over her shoulder and came closer, lowering her voice as she said "I know perfect medicine for his boredom, but I need to borrow a few of your stronger knights to bring that back with me."
"Something that would make his boredom go away? How do you know about it?" He asked. His tone polite but mistrust was dripping out of it.
Scarlet rolled her eyes "I know because he, himself would always grumble about it."
"Is that so?" Awaitsun asked; obviously he didn't believe her words.
Scarlet was beginning to get angry "Are you saying you don't trust my word in regard of my own child?"
"No. Of course not. I would never dare to do so" He quickly tried to pacify her.
"Hum… you better not" She huffed.
"I'll lend you best of my men." He said deciding to trust her desire of cheering her child up 'No matter what, casualties for a medicine are still far less than a castle full of people' he thought and then asked aloud "Should I come too?" His tone of voice betrayed his desire to stay. He after all had a wife and three babies to protect.
"No" answered Scarlet quickly. "You should stay here and tend to his demands" He nodded. He had no desire to protest. "When will you be leaving?" He asked; beginning to calculate.
Scarlet said firmly "Now. Make your men ready." She added as an afterthought "four should be enough" Awaitsun nodded and went to gather four of his best men.
After Awaitsun went out of hearing range; she looking quite relived thought 'If there was only one thing pink had done right it was giving him permission to marry. A married silent eagle is quite easy to manipulate.' Then she murmured under her breath "If only he know what he agreed to. Thankfully I have made everything ready beforehand; especially teleportation circle. It would be done before he has had a chance to rethink his decision"

In another country, judgment knight was practicing his swordsmanship in a forest. He had left the divine sun sword with Neo, coming here to train with judgment sword only. After making sure that everything was ready for crusading against demon king he has come here to practice his swordsmanship. It was one of few things that could give him peace of mind.
When he was in meddle of one of more complicated forms; suddenly four dark knight and a little girl with striking red hair, appeared out of thin air. Scarlet, the little girl pointed at him and said "Subdue him. Do not injure him badly." All four knights rushed at him with a battle cry without hesitation.
Judgment's face remained impassive with his usual scowl still firmly attached to it; if one didn't know better they might even suggest all of it was planned beforehand by him.
He was easily a match for all four knights combined. The only problem was Scarlet's dark element attacks. His holy power was not enough to stop her attacks for a long time. It was eerily similar to their first encounter.
But this time his mind was not preoccupied with thoughts of victory or death because her first words and his analyze of situation refuted both of them. 'She is going to bring me to demon king.' He thought.
It was a matter of time before he would go down and he knows it and he knows they know it too. There was no hope for reinforcement neither after all he had chosen this place for its remoteness.
So his only real choices were to resist until last breathes and go with them half dead or resist until disarmament. He acknowledged. 'After all' he thought 'surrendering without a good fight is not in a judgment's personality.'
But as he was quite practical sort of person, he decided to make his lose happen as fast as possible so- he frowned darkly- to not be tired and defenseless before demon king. 'besides it's not good to keep host waiting'
!
Grisia who had came back to throne hall after being unable to sleep- of course not because of lack of trying- looked around. No one was present. He felt his level of boredom raise even more.
Double door of hall opened, Awaitsun and a squad of dark knights entered. They only come in a few feet before stopping; except Awaitsun who came all the way to stairs leading to throne and kneeled before him "Your majesty." He greeted humbly and then inquired "How can I be of service?"
Demon king tapped on his throne's arm; deep in thought and eyes closed. He stopped tapping and opened his completely black eyes and asked "Where is scarlet? I can't see her in cathedral"
Awaitsun stiffed; opened his mouth to answer but Grisia hold his hand up and cut him before he even could start. Grisia had saw his heartbeat raise and know he has about to lie. "Don't even think about lying."
Awaitsun wearing a hopeless face said "I don't know. She said she was going to bring a medicine for your boredom"
"And?" Asked Grisia "Anything else?"
"And she took four of my men" Answered Awaitsun; beginning to understand his thoughtlessness.
Demon king abruptly stands up. "And you give them away without asking for more specific details?"He could not help but remember pink's manipulative ways and worse of all, her insistence of it being for her child's sake. His mood was slowly turning sour. Awaitsun who had realized his mistake had his head bowed low; staring intensely at ground.
"Now, now, child, no need to get so worked up." Scarlet's childish voice ring out. She and five knights had appeared out of thin air. "And after all of trouble I went through to bring you a medicine for boredom" She sulked.
Grisia slowly turned toward her; His eyes going wide. Somewhere in back of his mind he registered Awaitsun's gasp of surprise, but right now the only one who had his full attention was the cuffed holy knight in meddle of group.
Before he could bring himself under control; he was standing in front of the holy knight. "Judgment knight" He breathed out.
He brought himself under control and flow up and away from him. "What a surprise! For you to grace my humble home with your presence what do I own this pleasure to?" He turned to scarlet. "Rather who." the unspoken question was clear; why did you bring him here?
Scarlet smiled an innocent and cute smile. "You said you were bored, so I thought bring someone here to play with would brighten your day." She said as though she had brought a playmate for her child not the fearsome judgment knight.
"hehehe! You indeed have chased away my boredom, scarlet" Demon king laughed, But then his face turned dark. He used a dark spear to pierce scarlet's heart. "But I don't remember you asking for my permission." He then throws Scarlet away. "Be happy I would forgive you after only a little punishment."
He then descended to stand in front of judgment knight; "What a great toy you have brought for me" he said smiling. His smile was a little creepy.
Judgment's face did not change, but he suddenly activated his battle aura. A force so great that froze everyone on their spot and produced a blast of wind at the same time which pounced on them. Demon king's hair was whipped out of his face. 'So powerful!' He thought. He felt his knees go weak.
In one motion judgment knight destroyed same cuffs that had once imprisoned three of twelve holy knight against their wills. He then snatched back his sword out of clutches of a stunned dark knight who couldn't believe he was same person who was captured so easily.
'I'm going to die' Was Demon king's only thought. He could hear silent eagle yelling orders; His loud running to save him. He could see Scarlet's struggle to stand up. 'None of them are fast enough' He realized. He looked straight into Judgment's black cold eyes. He saw no mercy in them. He prepares himself for the blow he knows he is too slow to evade. No such blow comes.
Judgment only sheathes his blade then after his little show of power he deactivates his battle aura and turns away; walking to the door.
"Wait" murmured Grisia. He didn't slow down. "I said wait" This time Grisia yelled. He comes to a halt, but won't turn around. "Where do you think you are going?" He demanded.
"Back to holy temple" Was his cold reply. "I have an army to lead"
"You are going nowhere!" shouted an angry demon king. Dark elements exploded out of him and throw around four dark knights who were standing close to him. Immediately afterwards, dark elements rushed back into him.
Judgment slowly turned around. His expression the iciest one he had saw until that day. "The only thing you can keep here is my corpse; demon king" He spat out and continued his calm walk toward the door.
Grisia flow to stand in his way. "You are not going anywhere!" even though he wanted nothing more than shaking in fear; he stood straight and faced his death glare head first.
"Are you going to stop me?" was Judgment's reaction.
Grisia smilled "Have you forgotten? You still own me two favors" Grisia's face turned serious. "My second demand is for you to always stand by my side"
Judgment carefully studied him; searching for something in his face. For a second Grisia thought he would not accept and would say he doesn't own demon king any favors. He felt his stomach drop at the thought but then judgment knight sighs and says "Fine. I would stay."
He smiles; this time a sun knight style smile. "Good. Awaitsun prepare the chamber next to mine for him" then with such a happy face that was glowing he flow out of the hall. 'He accepted me' was his only thought.
Scarlet who have patched herself up said laughing "Hah! I know it. Now he is happy"
Awaitsun who didn't know he should be happy or not said to Judgment knight "Please come this way. I will show you to your chamber" He kept his tone polite. After all he was a guest that demon king himself had gone out of his way to accrue.
Judgment knight just nodded and followed after him to his new room.
Thanks for reading. :)
I'm sure you have noticed that in this Au when he went to play with heroes he didn't meet taylen's team so he is quite disappointed in heroes and thinks they are just common thieves.
