The Ceremony Crossover Part one Chapter 8
It was night when Erutis arrived back to the Manor. She mindlessly walked up and down the large corridor and just thought, 'Is this really all that happened? I killed Krayon and then hardly a month after Raenef killed me. It is also weird to think that Mej and Palu were part of my guild! Though they were human in the past life they are demons now. I wonder why.' Erutis thought to herself.
'To protect you better. DUH!' Another voice came from the back of Erutis' mind.
'Great I am hearing things just wonderful!' She thought sarcastically.
'Ehh. You will get over it. I am just here to see how things turn out and see if anyone else shows up.' The voice said.
'Great! I am going crazy!' Erutis said now heading back to her room.
'Raenef and Eclipse are going to be there!'
'Whatever. Just leave me alone for a while.' Erutis said to the intangible person.
Erutis went into her room and of course she saw Raenef and Eclipse sitting on the bed waiting for her.
"What do you need?" Erutis asked sitting down at her chair near the bed.
"Just to ask you now that you know all about your past do you still want to have the title?" Raenef stated bluntly his eyes wandered to the sword with stained blood hair wrapped around the hilt in the glass case. "That sword was your last one until I killed you." Guilt flooded Raenef's eyes.
"Raenef, what done is done. You cannot go changing what you did. I don't blame you for what you did, It was a mistake. Could have been made anyone. You have made it up to me in more ways than one. I am very grateful that you came back into my life and became part of my family. However it is time that I make it up to Krayon." Erutis said looking out a dark window.
"Why would make it up to Krayon? You had killed him. What had happened when you killed him. Why did you kill him, besides the fact that you completely hated his guts because he would not leave you alone." Eclipse asked with much interest to finally found out the mystery of seven hundred years.
"Because he let me. He finally got it through his head that I wouldn't have anything to do with him that life and let me kill him. I guess a life without love is meaningless to him. After I killed him I promised him that I would let him court me in the next life, I have kept true to my word." Erutis said with a faint blush. "He had said that he wished that we could meet in the next life and love grow into what it should be." Erutis quoting his last words.
Raenef and Eclipse looked in each other's eyes with understanding.
"It is time to go to bed. We are sending you to some place special tomorrow before the ceremony. You will leave at eight. Make sure that you are awake." Raenef said had he closed the door behind Eclipse and himself.
Erutis got into a long shirt and climbed into her large bed and turned off the light.
'So, what to do now.' The same voice asked.
"Shut up!" Erutis mumbled before pulling out into the world of sleep.
The morning came to soon for Erutis. A Loud knocking came at the door.
"Miss Erutis! It's seven thirty! You will be leaving soon! Open the door and let me in!" Came a high pitch voice.
Erutis groggily got up and stumbled to the door and opened it to find none other than Maureen the kitchen wench with a steaming bowl of fried rice and a cup of coffee.
"I brought you breakfast! I made the rice with extra egg this time and Lord Raenef said to arm myself with coffee with sugar! So here I am!" She said holding out the items.
"Thanks, now what to wear..." Erutis said making her way to the closet.
"If you want Miss Erutis I could choose some clothes while you eat." Maureen piped in ready to help.
"Sure that would be great, you probably know more about what I am doing today than I am so pick something out that would be right." Erutis mumbled while she took a swig of coffee. 'WOW! That is sweet!' Erutis mentally cringed.
"Wow Miss Erutis there sure are a lot of boy clothes in here! Oh here is a skirt, no that would not be right for Purple Tower."
Erutis chocked on her rice spitting some halfway across the room. "What do you mean Purple tower? As in that spa that was hidden in the mountains?" Erutis asked incredibly.
"The same! Raenef and Eclipse thought that you would need a day of relaxation. They even arranged for a fitting so you could get something nice for the ceremony! I must admit that I am a bit envious all day papered head to toe. Then at night become the heir to one of the most powerful thrones and meet prince charming!" Maureen sighed look off in space. "Oh here what about this?" Maureen emerged from the closet holding up a pair of black pants with a silver dragon climbing up the right leg and then a plain white shirt.
"Looks fine." Erutis mumbled looking at the pants trying to remember when she had gotten them but shrugging it off. She put down her now empty bowl and went to change.
"Okay Miss Erutis! Have a good day!" The young girl said gathering the cup and bowl and was about to head out.
"Just call me Erutis, calling me Miss makes me sound like a snob." Erutis said with a small smile.
"Okay! You can call me Rini like all my friends do!" She bowed and left.
Erutis walked out to the main hall to see Raenef waiting for her.
"Ready to go?" Raenef asked taking hold of her hand starting to walk out leading to a tacked up Ville.
"What's this about? Erutis asked looking to Ville then Raenef.
"When you go to boarding school you won't spend hardly any time with Ville so just take this path and it leads to the Purple Tower. It is only about a mile. We will have someone take him back.
"Okay!" Erutis shouted happily as she mounted Ville and started at a slow trot up a mountain trail.
About fifteen minutes later Erutis found herself in view of the spa. Half of her just wanted to canter the other way and just trail ride around the property for the day and the return. She started to pull Ville into a brush but heard a voice.
"Miss Erutis I presume?" A young man maybe in his early twenties.
"Yes I am." She said reluctantly pulling Ville toward the boy. "You are?"
"My name is Kohaku. I am the owner of this Spa. I run it with my wife Chihiro. Please this way, we have much to do." Kohaku said eyeing Erutis' hair that was sticking into all sorts of weird angles.
"M'kay." She put Ville at a walk and started to walk beside Kohaku,
"If you get a bath, then you nails, then hair, maybe see it styled and finally dress and makeup. Is that all that Raenef wanted correct?" Kohaku asked.
"Yeah, I didn't even know that I was coming here until this morning." Erutis said as they came closer to the gates.
"Yes, well we didn't know that you were coming until midnight last night. However we do owe it to your family. They did set up the land and gave us publicity in the demon world." Kohaku said as he opened the gate door.
"Then I assume that you are demon?" Erutis asked.
"Hardly my wife and I are river spirits. She use to be human but after a long story she became a river spirit so we could be together forever. Here she comes now." Kohaku said pointing out a Young woman that had to be maybe late teens early twenties she had a huge plump stomach showing that there was to be a new life in the family.
"Hello! I am Chihiro! Come this way, we already have drawn you bath." Chihiro pulling Erutis down from Ville and pulling her inside the spa that she would be expected to be relaxed in.
The bath went fine but what Erutis hated the most was the nails. It was one of the most boring experiences of her life! All the women did was nails and gossip!
"Oh like, I totally wanted to do hair but it is like REAL hair to remember that there are like chemicals but nails are so like cool and pretty, except the toes cause I have seen so many like gross stuff. It's not like cool!"
"I'm sure." Erutis mumbled.
"DO you know Taisho? He's like the old lord of one of the lands. Any way, I heard he liked PINK nail polish!"
"'Kay" Erutis mumbled once again wondering why the hell she talked so much.
She learned MORE than enough from this human from the school she went to learn nails to the major crush on the hair guy that she was about to go to next.
She walked out in the main hall and nearly stopped dead in her tracks. There was none other than the best singer in the whole world: Gackt Camui was getting a his hair styled!
While she was off in dreamland a guy came up next to her. "Erutis?" a man with a really girly voice and brown hair in a tie up.
"Yes. Are you Jakotsu?" She asked the man.
"Oh been with Yura have we?" Jakotsu holding up her hand looking at the nails. "My god that women really needs to learn that there are other things in this world besides French tipped nails! Well lets get your hair styled." He lead her to the chair next to the chair right next to Gackt!"
'I am going to freak! Holy shit I am getting my hair done next to Gackt!' She said smiling internally.
"Well, Raenef said that he wanted you to get something nice but dressy. I understand that you and Mr. Camui are going to be at the same event tonight."
Erutis' Jaw dropped. "Really?" She asked looking over at herIdol.
"Yes, I am sing at you party. What your favorite song of me?" Gackt asked in english.
"For my dear. I like it a lot." She said smiling at him.
"Oh? It good song." Gackt said giving a rare smile.
Jakotsu ending up putting Erutis' hair in a bun and it fanning out with the help of glue it looked really cool almost like a fire. Erutis talked to Gackt and nearly died with happiness.
The dress was fitted and was really cool! It was black and red. The red silk was the main part of the dress then the black was almost like a train that started at the small of her back. She loved how it looked but then looking in the mirror she couldn't fine herself all she saw was some hot model look at her. The model moved when she did and it took the next five minutes of moving around and making sure it was really her before she let them do make up.
The make up was black eyeliner with cat streaks out and red eye shadow to contrast with her green eyes. Given a little blush and smigt of lipstick she could not believe who she was turning into.
She left the Purple Tower escorted with none other than Gackt Camui. She walked to the limo and got in followed by Gackt. The drive, was short but she was shocked at the Manor! The change it went through! All the sidewalks were lined with candles and all the butlers were in there best penguin suits.
"Hey Erutis!" Shouted Mej followed by Palu both looking very handsome. Mej had his black hair spiked up and had on a black suit that looked really comfortable, more comfortable than this dress! Palu had his brown hair held in a low ponytail that went down half way down his back with a black suit.
"You look great!" Erutis said looking enviously at their suits.
"You look hot! Lets get you in." Mej said pushing her in front of Palu and himself.
Erutis starting walking in inside to find the entire staff working nonstop it was like a beehive. She started to look around for either Eclipse or Raenef but found nothing. She found herself in a huge ballroom. The top to bottom was in red and black, same as her dress.
"Erutis!" She heard her name being called out. She could find no one at all she shrugged it off. Then feeling a tug at her trail looking to see who it was it was none other than Maureen.
"Rini! What's up?" Erutis asked still looking around for familiar faces.
"Eclipse asks to see you with your guards. He wishes you to socialize with the other lords before you start. This way"
Erutis followed Maureen in to this large room with a large table with many people in strange attires.
"Erutis, come here." Eclipse commanded from across the room. Erutis picked up her pace and got to the other side of the room in a flash.
"This is Lord Naraku." Eclipse said directing her attention to a man who had long black hair that cascade down his back with red hungry eyes that seemed to plan anything at anytime. He did not looked out of place with the black and red background with his almost to demonic black and purple robes that would not look out of place with the Japanese culture.
"Ku ku ku I must ask, is courtship open to those who ask?" He said while giving Erutis a stare down.
"Looking for a wife now are we Naraku?" Eclipse giving a look to Naraku wanting him to drop it.
"The youkai of japan prefer the terminology of mate, and I might consider it if there were certain ones." He said while Erutis was getting more and more freaked out.
"Yes of course, your fan club is there." Eclipse pointed to a group of girls all blushing. "Now if you will excuse me but I have to get Erutis better acquainted with the other demon lords and ladies."
Erutis followed by Mej and Palu walked in large strides to keep up with Eclipse. He stopped and looked at Erutis straight in the eyes.
"You must wait here with Palu and Mej for the next fifteen minutes. Then will be taken to the top of the other stairs. The guests will have path for you to walk to, Mej and Palu will stay at the bottom of the stairs and wait for you. Then Raenef will slit your wrist and pour the blood into a goblet do not cry out in pain, it will only show weakness. Then he will slit his wrist and hold it tight up to you. That will be the most painful part but you must NOT cry out in pain or in anyway show discomfort keep an emotionless face and no weakness. You will gain all of his knowledge and also partly his power, don't worry he won't become any less powerful. He will then give you a black and red wristband it will have the house symbol on it and you will never be able to take it off. Then you will walk down the staircase with Raenef and that's it!" Eclipse stated.
Erutis was a little overwhelmed about losing blood and gain Raenef's but she was ready for it! Eclipse took his leave. As soon as the door was shut Erutis started to pace back and forth making Mej dizzy.
"Erutis why don't you come and sit down?" Palu patted a chair next to him.
"I am just so nervous! I mean what if I cry out in pain? Then I will become the laughing stock of the demon world!" Erutis sat down still looking really worried.
"You won't! Just think of something else like, what songs Gackt will play. You would not believe all of the shouting that came from Lord Raenef's study just to book him this night!" Mej said while giggling.
Erutis took the next fifteen minutes to calm down. The pacing stopped and then Mej and Palu got the signal that it was time.
Erutis opened the door and walked with her head high. She scanned the crowd to see who was there. She saw all of the Lords and Ladies from the last meeting along with a few that she had not seen. She caught Lord Naraku's eye and he winked at her. She inwardly cringed. She continued to look across the crowd subtly and saw Krayon. He looked irate. She quickly forgot about it when that she saw that she had reached the staircase she found that Mej and Palu and did a deep bow. She took in a deep breath. 'Here goes nothing.'
Raenef looked proudly down at his godchild. Nothing but pure pride showed in his look he gave her. Erutis looked up to Raenef and knew this is what should be. The walk up came too quickly as Raenef held out his hand and Erutis took it. Together they walked as one, the same soul that shown through both filled with pride.
A small balcony held out to the crowd for all to see the ceremony. Raenef picked up the dagger that glistened in the light. The silver came closer to the held out wrist. Erutis still held her face of ice. Closer it crept until a small prick of pain met her wrist watching the blood flow into the golden goblet. Drop by drop the blood fell into the goblet. Every drop closer to becoming Raenef's heir. Finally Raenef took the same dagger and slid it gracefully across his pale white skin. He held it out to meet Erutis' writs the sudden warmth that went through Erutis was very comforting. The comfort slowly disappeared and Erutis felt close to normal. Raenef placed a cloth like wristband on her wrist. The design was beautiful! It was a black dragon with a red border.
Raenef held out his hand and spoke, "Come, my heir."
Erutis gave an inward sigh glade it was over. She grabbed Raenef's hand and walked down in the same stride. Never once did she look in any sort of pain, Erutis held true to the task of becoming the heir and passed with flying colors. Now it was time to be social, the worst was over!
They reached the bottom and parted of ways. Erutis wanted to talk to only one person, Krayon, however others wanted to talk to her first.
After what seemed eternity of hearing of lords lives and giving treaty proposition after treaty proposition Erutis just wanted to find Krayon!
"Yes Lord Sesshomaru I will consiter your offer now if you will excuse me." Erutis said for the sixteenth time taking her leave.
She scanned the crowd to find Krayon, finally she saw golden hair and ran up to it.
"Hello Krayon." She said more cheerfully than expected.
"Lady Erutis." He said stiffly.
"What is the matter?" Erutis asked trying to read what the hell Krayon was pulling.
"Nothing, anymore." He stated icily.
"Right then come with me for a walk!" She said giving him a small smile.
"Very well, I have something I want to ask you anyway." He said leading the way to the gardens.
The sun had very well settled but the full moon shone brightly.
Erutis smiled at it drinking in the moonlight then looking to Krayon. "So what is it that you wanted to ask me?"
"Why you played with me so."
Erutis becoming very confused asked, "I don't know what you are saying."
"Heh! Don't even play dumb! Tell me did you do it as a game or just because you were bored! The date, the emails, was it all a game to you?" He asked bitterly.
"What do you mean? I am falling in love with you!" Erutis clasped her hand over her mouth cannot believing what she had just said.
"I don't want to hear it anymore! I have had enough! I am not a toy to be tampered with!" Krayon almost shouted almost forcefully.
"What do you mean?" Erutis getting so confused she was starting to become angry.
"Do not tell me you did not know."
"Know what?"
"Other demon lord heirs cannot even court other demon lord heirs!" HE shouted and angrily walked off.

'Raenef and Eclipse are going to be there!'
'Whatever. Just leave me alone for a while.' Erutis said to the intangible person.
Erutis went into her room and of course she saw Raenef and Eclipse sitting on the bed waiting for her.
"What do you need?" Erutis asked sitting down at her chair near the bed.
"Just to ask you now that you know all about your past do you still want to have the title?" Raenef stated bluntly his eyes wandered to the sword with stained blood hair wrapped around the hilt in the glass case. "That sword was your last one until I killed you." Guilt flooded Raenef's eyes.

Erutis got into a long shirt and climbed into her large bed and turned off the light.
'So, what to do now.' The same voice asked.

The morning came to soon for Erutis. A Loud knocking came at the door.

Erutis groggily got up and stumbled to the door and opened it to find none other than Maureen the kitchen wench with a steaming bowl of fried rice and a cup of coffee.
"I brought you breakfast! I made the rice with extra egg this time and Lord Raenef said to arm myself with coffee with sugar! So here I am!" She said holding out the items.

"Oh here what about this?" Maureen emerged from the closet holding up a pair of black pants with a silver dragon climbing up the right leg and then a plain white shirt.
"Looks fine." Erutis mumbled looking at the pants trying to remember when she had gotten them but shrugging it off. She put down her now empty bowl and went to change.
"Okay Miss Erutis! Have a good day!" The young girl said gathering the cup and bowl and was about to head out.
"Just call me Erutis, calling me Miss makes me sound like a snob." Erutis said with a small smile.
"Okay! You can call me Rini like all my friends do!" She bowed and left.
Erutis walked out to the main hall to see Raenef waiting for her.
"Ready to go?" Raenef asked taking hold of her hand starting to walk out leading to a tacked up Ville.
"What's this about? Erutis asked looking to Ville then Raenef.
"When you go to boarding school you won't spend hardly any time with Ville so just take this path and it leads to the Purple Tower. It is only about a mile. We will have someone take him back.

"Yes I am." She said reluctantly pulling Ville toward the boy. "You are?"
"My name is Kohaku. I am the owner of this Spa. I run it with my wife Chihiro. Please this way, we have much to do." Kohaku said eyeing Erutis' hair that was sticking into all sorts of weird angles.
"M'kay." She put Ville at a walk and started to walk beside Kohaku,
"If you get a bath, then you nails, then hair, maybe see it styled and finally dress and makeup. Is that all that Raenef wanted correct?" Kohaku asked.
"Yeah, I didn't even know that I was coming here until this morning." Erutis said as they came closer to the gates.
"Yes, well we didn't know that you were coming until midnight last night. However we do owe it to your family. They did set up the land and gave us publicity in the demon world." Kohaku said as he opened the gate door.

Kohaku said pointing out a Young woman that had to be maybe late teens early twenties she had a huge plump stomach showing that there was to be a new life in the family.
"Hello! I am Chihiro! Come this way, we already have drawn you bath." Chihiro pulling Erutis down from Ville and pulling her inside the spa that she would be expected to be relaxed in.
The bath went fine but what Erutis hated the most was the nails. It was one of the most boring experiences of her life! All the women did was nails and gossip!
"Oh like, I totally wanted to do hair but it is like REAL hair to remember that there are like chemicals but nails are so like cool and pretty, except the toes cause I have seen so many like gross stuff. It's not like cool!"
"I'm sure." Erutis mumbled.
"DO you know Taisho? He's like the old lord of one of the lands. Any way, I heard he liked PINK nail polish!"
"'Kay" Erutis mumbled once again wondering why the hell she talked so much.
She learned MORE than enough from this human from the school she went to learn nails to the major crush on the hair guy that she was about to go to next.
She walked out in the main hall and nearly stopped dead in her tracks. There was none other than the best singer in the whole world: Gackt Camui was getting a his hair styled!
While she was off in dreamland a guy came up next to her. "Erutis?" a man with a really girly voice and brown hair in a tie up.
"Yes. Are you Jakotsu?" She asked the man.
"Oh been with Yura have we?" Jakotsu holding up her hand looking at the nails. "My god that women really needs to learn that there are other things in this world besides French tipped nails! Well lets get your hair styled." He lead her to the chair next to the chair right next to Gackt!"

"Erutis!" She heard her name being called out. She could find no one at all she shrugged it off. Then feeling a tug at her trail looking to see who it was it was none other than Maureen.
"Rini! What's up?" Erutis asked still looking around for familiar faces.
"Eclipse asks to see you with your guards. He wishes you to socialize with the other lords before you start. This way"
Erutis followed Maureen in to this large room with a large table with many people in strange attires.
"Erutis, come here." Eclipse commanded from across the room. Erutis picked up her pace and got to the other side of the room in a flash.
"This is Lord Naraku." Eclipse said directing her attention to a man who had long black hair that cascade down his back with red hungry eyes that seemed to plan anything at anytime. He did not looked out of place with the black and red background with his almost to demonic black and purple robes that would not look out of place with the Japanese culture.
"Ku ku ku I must ask, is courtship open to those who ask?" He said while giving Erutis a stare down.
"Looking for a wife now are we Naraku?" Eclipse giving a look to Naraku wanting him to drop it.
"The youkai of japan prefer the terminology of mate, and I might consider it if there were certain ones." He said while Erutis was getting more and more freaked out.
"Yes of course, your fan club is there." Eclipse pointed to a group of girls all blushing. "Now if you will excuse me but I have to get Erutis better acquainted with the other demon lords and ladies."
Erutis followed by Mej and Palu walked in large strides to keep up with Eclipse. He stopped and looked at Erutis straight in the eyes.
"You must wait here with Palu and Mej for the next fifteen minutes. Then will be taken to the top of the other stairs. The guests will have path for you to walk to, Mej and Palu will stay at the bottom of the stairs and wait for you. Then Raenef will slit your wrist and pour the blood into a goblet do not cry out in pain, it will only show weakness. Then he will slit his wrist and hold it tight up to you. That will be the most painful part but you must NOT cry out in pain or in anyway show discomfort keep an emotionless face and no weakness. You will gain all of his knowledge and also partly his power, don't worry he won't become any less powerful. He will then give you a black and red wristband it will have the house symbol on it and you will never be able to take it off. Then you will walk down the staircase with Raenef and that's it!" Eclipse stated.
Erutis was a little overwhelmed about losing blood and gain Raenef's but she was ready for it! Eclipse took his leave. As soon as the door was shut Erutis started to pace back and forth making Mej dizzy.
"Erutis why don't you come and sit down?" Palu patted a chair next to him.
"I am just so nervous! I mean what if I cry out in pain? Then I will become the laughing stock of the demon world!" Erutis sat down still looking really worried.
"You won't! Just think of something else like, what songs Gackt will play. You would not believe all of the shouting that came from Lord Raenef's study just to book him this night!" Mej said while giggling.
Erutis took the next fifteen minutes to calm down. The pacing stopped and then Mej and Palu got the signal that it was time.
Erutis opened the door and walked with her head high. She scanned the crowd to see who was there. She saw all of the Lords and Ladies from the last meeting along with a few that she had not seen. She caught Lord Naraku's eye and he winked at her. She inwardly cringed. She continued to look across the crowd subtly and saw Krayon. He looked irate. She quickly forgot about it when that she saw that she had reached the staircase she found that Mej and Palu and did a deep bow. She took in a deep breath. 'Here goes nothing.'
Raenef looked proudly down at his godchild. Nothing but pure pride showed in his look he gave her. Erutis looked up to Raenef and knew this is what should be. The walk up came too quickly as Raenef held out his hand and Erutis took it. Together they walked as one, the same soul that shown through both filled with pride.
A small balcony held out to the crowd for all to see the ceremony. Raenef picked up the dagger that glistened in the light. The silver came closer to the held out wrist. Erutis still held her face of ice. Closer it crept until a small prick of pain met her wrist watching the blood flow into the golden goblet. Drop by drop the blood fell into the goblet. Every drop closer to becoming Raenef's heir. Finally Raenef took the same dagger and slid it gracefully across his pale white skin. He held it out to meet Erutis' writs the sudden warmth that went through Erutis was very comforting. The comfort slowly disappeared and Erutis felt close to normal. Raenef placed a cloth like wristband on her wrist. The design was beautiful! It was a black dragon with a red border.
Raenef held out his hand and spoke, "Come, my heir."
Erutis gave an inward sigh glade it was over. She grabbed Raenef's hand and walked down in the same stride. Never once did she look in any sort of pain, Erutis held true to the task of becoming the heir and passed with flying colors. Now it was time to be social, the worst was over!
They reached the bottom and parted of ways. Erutis wanted to talk to only one person, Krayon, however others wanted to talk to her first.
After what seemed eternity of hearing of lords lives and giving treaty proposition after treaty proposition Erutis just wanted to find Krayon!
"Yes Lord Sesshomaru I will consiter your offer now if you will excuse me." Erutis said for the sixteenth time taking her leave.
She scanned the crowd to find Krayon, finally she saw golden hair and ran up to it.
"Hello Krayon." She said more cheerfully than expected.
"Lady Erutis." He said stiffly.
"What is the matter?" Erutis asked trying to read what the hell Krayon was pulling.
"Nothing, anymore." He stated icily.
"Right then come with me for a walk!" She said giving him a small smile.
"Very well, I have something I want to ask you anyway." He said leading the way to the gardens.
The sun had very well settled but the full moon shone brightly.
Erutis smiled at it drinking in the moonlight then looking to Krayon. "So what is it that you wanted to ask me?"
"Why you played with me so."
Erutis becoming very confused asked, "I don't know what you are saying."
"Heh! Don't even play dumb! Tell me did you do it as a game or just because you were bored! The date, the emails, was it all a game to you?" He asked bitterly.
"What do you mean? I am falling in love with you!" Erutis clasped her hand over her mouth cannot believing what she had just said.
"I don't want to hear it anymore! I have had enough! I am not a toy to be tampered with!" Krayon almost shouted almost forcefully.
"What do you mean?" Erutis getting so confused she was starting to become angry.
"Do not tell me you did not know."
"Know what?"
"Other demon lord heirs cannot even court other demon lord heirs!" HE shouted and angrily walked off.
