♛ ROYAL LUST

Are you sure you should be bragging about being cocky?

"If the King of Utanthia says so, I suppose that must be true," he coughed, clearing his throat, then looking into the device laid down on the table before him. 

Feelings of disgust and pity grew within Carlos’ chest as he looked into the tablet, knowing the demon boy had reported his own father into royalty. The king simply hadn’t a forgiving heart for those who do not feel empathy towards their own children. Unable to look into the image any longer, Carlos pushed it away slightly with his fingertips, looking into the opposite corner of his eye.

“What a disgrace…" he shook his head. It was a mission that could end up to stake the balance of all three realms. Carlos couldn’t afford to let emotions affect him in this stage into the plan. "I suggest we survey the area in person first. If it really is their main base of operations, it would not change that it is still- if not more, dangerous to approach head on. However I do not wish for there to be more possible sacrifices by sending the others."

Zephyr noticed how affected Carlos seemed to become because of the information he was given, and the demon was about to retort with something sarcastic, but was cut off when the angelic king decided to change the subject back to the task at hand.

"But there are still possibilities, as I would doubt any leader would make their base so blatantly obvious," Carlos paused. "There’s a high probability that this base is a decoy. Any decent leader would not rashly put a base of operations in the direct center. Jumping in here blindly would not be very wise- not to mention we are still unsure of how capable their offenses really are from a simple capturing." 

"If these areas have been used for transportation of humans in the past, there’s also a chance they are still keeping some of them as hostages to this day along with her. Looking at their base’s area from the map, there are no buildings present here- this can only mean their hideout is either underground or made using some sort of dimension alternating power," his tone of voice deepened. "A dimension alternation wielder maybe more of a threat to us than we can expect. My main question is if they have been working with humans for such a long time, why kidnap an angel thousands of years later?"

"It might be a decoy. But you have to take into account that demons are cocky. I've experienced many packs of mutts who made their locations obvious just to draw the enemy to them for a fight. I would do the same actually. But you have a few good points too."

Well, finally in the mood for discussion, I see… 

"If I do recall properly, that area had been known for the major incident of illegal transportation of humans into Utanthia five thousand years ago, was it not?" He crossed his arms, eyes focused onto the map that had been laid in front of the two kings. "Do you perhaps think that incident may relate to this certain case?"

The king then points to the seemingly deserted area nearby. “It would have been perfect to have gotten away in a region like this, after all…”

"That is what I was thinking." He snapped at one of his guard who was walking by the room. He stole a piece of parchment from the other. "There were four other incidents after that one, here," He pointed to another location on the map. "Here, here, and here."

"My fair lady in least, certainly is not dirty, King Zephyr,” Carlos could feel his blood running through his mind begin to boil from the mention of his beloved’s name being tainted by the unpleasant ring on Zephyr’s words. “For she is the most graceful- most virtuous.”

"There will be no time to have fun, King Zephyr,” he sighed in utter annoyance at this point. “I’m afraid you don’t exactly please me either, but I hope you do feel some urgency about this situation- and more importantly your own kingdom’s well being.”

"Graceful." The king couldn't help but laugh. "Sure she is." He could sense the demon within the queen. Surely Juni had some sort of inner beast inside her during sex. He shrugged it off however. "Given that this mission is to save some angel, I'm not to worried about my kingdoms well being, but if you want to be serious, fine."

"I must disagree with you, my fellow king," his voice was a tone deeper than it had been before, as he continued to glance around at the filthy edges and corners of the castle. "One must be in an orderly environment to have an absolute peace at mind and soul." Carlos’ expectations of the other king had been crushed in the matter of seconds. 

He turned back to eye Zephyr- his gaze much like, if not a glare. Carlos was not content with having to cooperate with such a being. Demon he may have been, but it was not an excuse enough to have such an unmoral demeanor. “I would like to discuss our plan immediately, would that be in your favor, King Zephyr?”

"Clean and naive." The king gave a sigh. "That wasn't what I meant by dirty Carlos. I figured you understand that kind of dirty just by looking at your queen~" He had met Juni a few times, and if it hadn't been against his morals to fuck an angel, he just might have pushed the queen against a wall once or twice.

"…I would’ve almost have forgotten how rotten it is here," Carlos sighed, his eyes scanning his own surroundings. It was certainly not the king’s preferred setting- but what must be done has to be done. Perhaps, he had hoped that the king of Uthania would be a better man than what rumors had portrayed him to be.

—Applehead?

"Sounds kinda control-freaky to me."

"You base respect on whether or not someone dances?"

"I draw the line there."

“I’m a boss ass bitch, bitch, bitch, bitch, bitch, bitch, bitch, I’m a boss ass bitch—”

"As if I could forget, with you there reminding me everyday."

"With you around? As if. Just being in the same room as you makes me—" Wait, no, stop, shut up. “—uh. Makes me was to rip your throat out.”

"Really? Thank you for informing me, but I see no king. All I see is a sexually harassing demon who can’t control their desires." Not that he was much better, but, well.
