Summary: Battousai finally ascends to the throne, and he had to admit, there were some kinky benefits.

He had an erratic week. His father's passing left the whole Lands unstable, and produced more than one attempt to overthrow him from his throne. How foolish can some be?

The stress of these last days was due to this night, when his crown would finally be placed atop his head. Tonight the world would recognize him as the new King, Battousai the Man Slayer. At last, he would end with this bothersome wait.

The day passed on a flash, just one attempt to assassinate him, but of course, it was fruitless. He was always prepared and he was always merciless.

The night came, and the crown now rested over his head. He never thought the feel of its weight would make him feel so confident, so authoritative. He already liked it. It was something sort of obsessive, pushing his blood faster than ever, the adrenaline taking him high.

"Young Lord Batousai," the voice of Okina, his father's loyal servant disconnected him of his fantasy and he glared whole heartedly at the elderly man, realizing the derogative way he referred to him, "My mistake, you are no longer young, but a great King."

"True," he replied icily.

"I come tonight to you with a new matter, a matter only concerning you," the man with a long beard mentioned carefully, and after receiving apprehensive amber eyes continued, "its about your late father's concubine."

Golden eyes widened in surprise, "A concubine? My father had one?"

"Yes, I was wondering what did you wanted to do with her, should she be retained here? Or would you free her?"

Battousai grimaced, the woman must be old. "Let her go…and give her something for her patience…my father was insufferable."

"Only you know how to open her Wing on the castle."
