The castle was huge; it took hours for Rin to see half the castle. That may have also been because of him stopping to admire the many books in the library or all the ingredients in the kitchen. Because as much as he hated to admit it Rin loved to read as much as he loved to cook, it just took longer to read for him because he could not sit still easily. And the time to look at the ingredients was self explanatory. His brothers and father thought it was the most adorable thing when he began to talk to the Ukobachs that ran the kitchen, the Ukobachs absolutely loved him. Which was weird since they hated anyone who stepped into their 'territory', the kings were the only ones who wouldn't get attacked.
Then there was the gardens, all of them were so amazing that Rin just couldn't leave until he explored every nook and cranny. He found some nice naptime spots that he was planning on going to later. The plants smelled so nice that they almost lured him to sleep. Demonic spiders scuttled the ground, but immediately ran to greet their king whenever they saw him. Beelzebub was actually every friendly to his subjects and the young ones were practically cuddled. The spiders also seemed to like Rin a decent amount; because while they attacked every other brother Rin was left safe next to Beelzebub.
In the ball rooms Rin was forced to dance with some of the female demons who wanted to see how well he danced. Apparently almost all demons had a human appearance and a demonic appearance. Rin was able to exceed all expectations on their little dancing test, but still had quite a bit to learn.
There was even a few gyms; one for abilities, one for physical fitness, one for fighting, and one specifically for Satan and his sons. The last one was so they could train their blue flames, while the one for abilities is for personal abilities that Rin would get later.
"All of our brothers are betting on what element or elements you'll be king of." Iblis informed the half demon, "Whatever element you get though will help our father since he has to take care of everything for demons without a king."
"How many can I get?" Rin asked.
Iblis shrugged, "At least one, but father says he thinks you're going to get multiple. Mostly because you have some of Yukio's demonic essence."
Rin turned to him confused.
Egyn chuckled, "You might have had two originally but because of the incidents during your birth you took an element from your twin. So you may have three and Yukio has one."
"Yukio isn't a demon though." Rin argued.
Lucifer shook his head, "Not yet; his powers are being held back by his denial. When he finally accepts he'll gain demonic powers. However his will be weaker because you have at least half of his."
Rin gulped, "So if I have three?"
His brothers shrugged, "We don't know."
Egyn smiled reassuringly, "For all we know you had only one originally and have two now."
Rin sighed, "What will happen when I get these powers?"
His father chuckled, he had been silent the whole time letting his boy work it out by themselves but it doesn't seem like they will, "You'll take a throne and rule. And the thing with your birth is, you do have three. Well two and a half."
"What are they?" Azazel questioned.
Satan smiled and closed his eyes. "I can see Rin's natural elements darkness and ice. And the power of Yukio's is space."
"Isn't ice part of water?" Rin asked.
"That's why I said half." Satan smirked, "Ice is a sub-section of both earth and water that has been debated about for thousands of years."
"I rather Rin have it than Amaimon." Egyn snorted, "That demon cannot take care of anything. I don't know why his subjects love him so much."
Rin gulped, "What's Yukio's other element?"
"Wind." Satan chuckled again. "Makes sense."
"And I'm guessing you have some sort of prophecy power." Rin laughed awkwardly.
Satan raised an eyebrow, "Of course I do, I'm Satan."
"So," Rin decided to ask, "What kind of demons are ice that you guys are arguing about?"
"Snowmen, Narwhals,-"
"Are you serious?"
"Of course." Egyn smiled, "Don't you believe in Narwhals?"
Rin shrugged.
Egyn shrugged, "Whatever anyway; there are also Icicle wolfs, bears, and lions, Yetis, Ankluts (wolf-orca hybrids), Amarok (wolf tricksters), Barbegazi (or gnomes in Assiah), Ijiraq (or shapeshifters), Tizheruk (or large snakes that lives within ice, icy ground, or water), Yuki-onna (snow women) and a few more that escape me right now. Now in the Darkness element I know Vampires, lycanthropes, djinn, bogeymen, shadow people, black dogs (they are types of demons Rin stop making faces), Dullahan (Or as Assiah calls them Headless Horsemen), Cyclops, Hellhounds, Banshees, Boggarts, undead, grim reapers, and more of them that I cannot remember."
Rin gulped, "That's a lot of demons!"
Iblis clapped a hand on his shoulder, "That's as much as we have little brother. Just because there are not many that exorcists know about doesn't mean we don't have them. We you learn how to be a king you shall know that it is not that many. You will have advisors and us to help you." He scratched behind Rin's ears making Rin purr happily and blush at the same time.
"He doesn't seem like someone who could keep up with his responsibilities properly." The group turned to see Amaimon staring at them bored. "Gehenna may take a turn for the worse."
Rin growled and grabbed his sword, but was stopped by Egyn. "Be calm brother."
Amaimon snorted, "Yeah like that would work." He brought up his hand to look at his claws which were shrunken down to a more normal length.
Egyn sneered, "What's wrong with you?"
Amaimon glared, "My problem is that he has no experience in anything and all of you put him on a pedestal. Its disgusting and I want to puke."
Rin whimpered making everyone turn to him. He was holding his head in pain, his nose twitching, and his eyes closed.
"Rin?" Beelzebub frowned, stepping closer to the half demon. As soon as he put a hand on his brother however, a growl sounded.
The demons turned to Amaimon whose fangs had lengthened and tail had shot out, "Get away from him."
The kings, except Satan, stepped back immediately knowing what was going on but not believing it. Amaimon and Rin?
Amaimon returned to normal as soon as the kings were decently away from the half demon mate. His eyes however conveyed anger. It seemed he didn't like what was going on which was weird since finding a mate was a glorious thing to most demons.
"Now I understand he is you mate Amaimon-," Azazel tried to say but a growl cut him off.
"He's not my mate."
Rin whimpered.
Azazel growled, "Yes he is, stop saying that. You know what happens to submissive demons that are rejected by their mates."
"He is not my mate." Amaimon yelled, "He is naïve and fooish!"
Rin slumped to the ground in pain.
Amaimon punched the wall, "He is nothing to me."
And with that Rin felt his heart, involuntarily, break.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
