Interrogation Room #1:

Sadi had volunteered her services willingly as Axm stated he needed interrogators, the young demonness was in charge of room number one. Only her affections toward her cousin and her love of tortured screams made her volunteer for the job. In this one instance, Axm was glad that she decided to cooperate with him for however long it took for this entire incident to be solved.

Interrogation Room #2:

Marius had been forced into accepting this position, mainly because of his elder sister, Sadi who told him he had to or else she would have one less sibling around to worry about. The younger demon was sadistic and eager for the position, he didn't exactly want to even if he was secretly eager for playing the role of interrogator. Axm had ordered the male to avoid killing the nobles of the demon realm or even giving them fatal injuries that might cause them to bleed out. Minor injuries were the only exception in this case, otherwise there would be absolutely no trouble whatsoever.

Interrogation Room #3:

Axm had stated that he would take care of this room, Ebukaj stepping up and confronting him with the knowledge that he would be joining his younger brother. The pair were identicle in features, though their attitudes differed completely. Axm was more focused on military issues while Ebukaj was more laid back and focused on listening to the problems that even their parents didn't really have the time for. Ebukaj was usually more organized than Axm could ever pull off or hope to be, which made him glad that his older brother would be standing at his side, ready to still his hand should he go a step too far. Axm couldn't nor wouldn't ever raise his hand against Ebukaj, he knew better than to try. Knew better than to even think about it. The demon would never admit it but he respected his older brother, one of the few faces that took the time from their schedule to play with him when he was younger or help him with his studies or even his training when he was having trouble. Ebukaj was, also, there to go through the list of names that had been compiled briefly in the short time they had and write down the alibis of the nobles that passed through the rooms.

Interrogation Room #4:

Jiru had agreed to take charge of this room at his middle son's asking, the elder King may have seemed feeble from the distance but the man was anything but. Marianne volunteered to stand at her husband's side, the queen was just as fierce and feared as the King. She was merciless when it came to her brood of demonkyn and their friends. Ever since day one, the queen had turned into a fierce fighter to protect the sons that would one day rule the Kingdom and all the forces that were at work in the demon realm. Life, Death, Famine, everything. It would all one day lie in the claws, the future of this world and the neighboring Kingdoms as well. Tough as the queen acted toward those who threatened her children, she could only be kind toward the three no matter what trouble they had gotten into. Everything in the palace could be replaced, however, people were not as easy to replace. Jiru and Marianne had learned the hard way when the former Kings and Queens that reigned passed away, going on ahead to live in the one paradise that all demonkyn believed existed. Some called it Sanctuary, others called it the Elysian Fields, Heaven, and a multitude of other names that had come to exist in the many years the land had been.

Back in Room #3:

Axm was growing restless, wondering how his pet Lorinas were coming along in the hunt even as they nobles were let in one by one for questioning and, if need be, interrogation 'practices' though it could be seen as torture in the eyes of humans. There were no real physical wounds, Axm a master of the arts in twisting one's mind to make them believe what he wanted them to. Of making them see what he wanted them to see, whether it was loved ones dying or false injuries being dealt to them. The pictures were harmless enough, though the pain they felt was real. The demon prince knew when to draw the line, knew where to stop and let the demon leave when he was convinced he knew nothing. As one was lead out to have their memories wiped, the next was brought in to go through the same process of questioning and interrogation. The room was sound proof so that the nobles outside couldn't hear the screams or pleas that came from within the room. This went on for some time, questioning and interrogating the nobles before sending them on to have memories wiped by another.

This continued up until a pounding on the door sounded, nobles' cries sounding as the doors were shoved opened without consent. "My lieges! News on the Lorinas and their whereabouts!" The elder man that had run in bowed low, not daring to look up without a word of approval. Axm exchanged glances with Ebukaj before he spoke, "rise. What news do you bring?" The guard seemed relieved as he stood straight once more and saluted the pair of brothers, "sire. I have news that the Lorinas have captured a pair of spies, a pair that is believed to be part of the root cause of the current situation." Axm was silent for some time, taking in what he just heard. Several moments passed before he heard an uncertain, "Sire? What are your orders?" He looked up at the guard, "bring them here! Release all nobles at once and gather those of the royal blood line, wipe the memories of the nobles. Make sure none of them escape and remember what occurred here today! Go!" Axm barked out his orders, sending the elder guard on his way in a hurry.

Was there hope at last? Were they finally getting somewhere in finding his childhood friend, Laurel? Up until now, Axm had remained stoic and stone cold with his emotions sealed off from himself. He couldn't let himself relax just yet, knowing that there was a road ahead of them that probably would be perilous. Not for him or his kyn, but for his friend. If this situation got anymore out of hand, who knew what could happen to her? The thought made Axm tremble with rage, his anger was a force to be reckoned with and not many would want to face such a thing for few were able to withstand looking him in the face when he was beyond control. Beyond being able to be calmed down unless the thing he sought was brought to him immediately. For now, they had to move out and find what they could out from these spies so that this would be over soon, if not immediately.
