Sycocat: I had to look up what "lemon" means XD I'm not so sure there will end up being a lemon in this fic now that I'm at it again, but I'll be sure to put a lime at least.
Erutis: "Have I mentioned how much I hate you?"
Sycocat: "Not since last chapter, bring it on tomboy, I have a cane now and can whoop your butt so fast!"
Erutis: -Silence-
Sycocat: "Chris don't back away honey, I won't hurt you!"

Chap 10: "A young Demon Lord's wisdom"

"Erutis, Eclipse is going to torch your hair if you chop up any more of the bushes or trees" Chris chided, jogging toward the crusader as she swung her sword wildly. He didn't go too close, fearing for his life, though he'd never admit to such.
She couldn't hear him, her mind was too filled with rushing thoughts. Moving quickly, her blade swung around and narrowly missed slicing her friend's stomach. "Chris!" she shouted, "Why did you... you shouldn't have been..." she searched for a way to tell him it was all his fault.
He re-sheathed his sword and replied angrily, "No, Erutis that was your fault. Where is your head? With all your training you should have heard me coming a mile away". Turning around, he shook his head, walking back into the castle Raenef.
Exasperatedly Erutis let out a yell.

After walking through a few corridors Raenef found his crusader friend sitting on a large chair, picking chips of wood off the armrest.
He nervously stepped closer, "Eru" he whispered. She turned, meeting his sheepish gaze. Slowly he spoke "Chris said... are you feeling okay?" Though the youngest and cutest of the group living in this castle, he had seen many things in his lifetime, and could indeed speak about more serious matters, though he did not enjoy doing so.
Erutis saw the sympathy cross over his face, maybe talking to him would help. "Sit down Rae, can I talk to you about something?" He noisily dragged another chair across the floor to sit beside his friend. "What's troubling you?" he asked, imitating what Eclipse had asked him several times before. Her eyes widened, then "I'm not sure what to do..." she couldn't tell him the full truth, it would be too embarrassing, "I'm stuck Rae, I feel... a certain way about this... certain issue, but to admit how I feel about... it would go against everything I stand for". She turned to him.
He pondered a moment. "Well Erutis I'm not really sure what you mean, but what I do know is that you're supposed to be a crusader- not saying you're not, but we first met when you came to kill me. You didn't though, and you stayed here and became one of my closest friends, even though I'm a demon lord". He had a point. "But Rae, you're too sweet to hate or hurt, you're the nicest demon I've ever met, the nicest demon lord". Here he chimed in, "Well Lord Krayon is a demon, a demon lord too, and he's really nice to you too".
She leaned back, "Yeah I guess you're right..." He remembered who he was "Of course I'm right, I'm a demon lord" he smirked. Erutis chuckled, nodding.

That evening Eclipse looked up from his book The Wars We're Known For seeing the female mortal house-guest at the end of the hallway.
He was at the very least thankful the only power for miles besides his young lord's and his own belonged to those two mortals. Most nights that he remained awake and aware for Raenef's protection he did not feel any threat nearby, but kept up his watch. His life was for Raenef, to serve and protect, and teach the lord of this realm.
Unfortunately his current lord cared for these two humans, and all the more unfortunately Eclipse found that he felt it necessary to do his part to ensure they did not lose their lives while in this realm.
The damn girl was also the love interest of a high demon lord, who had not yet show sign of desire to attack Lord Raenef's castle for "harboring" her.
"How ludicrous" Eclipse said aloud, annoyed that he was thinking about the lives and welfare of that damn crusader who, as far as he knew, might just be biding time until she attacked his lord again.
"Go"
He peered over the bedsheets to see young Raenef's sleeping face.
No one would harm this lord, not on his watch.
