LOUISE BLUMENTHAL

Dame Louise Blumenthal silently followed her princess's lead, from classically being smuggled into the country by straw carriage - a few sticks of which she no doubt still had in her vest - to the very gates of the demon king's castle.

She knew the Princess Clara was determined from the very beginning to see this through, but while Louise would follow her to the ends of the earth, the knight was just as determined to ensure that the princess live to return to her parents safely, regardless of what would happen within the next few hours.

At the princess's question, Louise smiled and reassuringly gripped her hand before laying it on her own sword and continuing to follow her as they entered the castle. As they progressed deeper and deeper within the caste, however, the lack of guards began to weigh heavily on Louise's mind. Surely the demons couldn't be this confident... But as the doors to the throne room came into view, Louise knew they had come too far - there was no convincing the princess to turn back now. So when the princess repeated her earlier question, Louise simply drew her sword and offered her smile once again.

"Of course, your highness." And with that, they pushed through the doors together, Louise stepping in front and to the left of the princess as she called out her warning.

Candles lit the walls and yet darkness still clogged the room, as if the light from the candles were pushed back to a distance to the point that where the throne stood bathed in shadow, with only a darker silhouette hinting at a figure sitting upon the throne. Silence rang out for a few short moments after the princess's call before a chuckle broke out, melodic and low at first, before rising into full blown laughter.

ALDEN BARRINGTON

Alden sighed at the outburst. Two women, a brunette and a blonde. Two very foolish and pitiful human that dared to cross the realm and get where they are. A very bad choice, really. And not only that but he could easily guess, by the clothes, that they were high ranked if not nobles. After all, no mere villager would have such a shining armour.

But here they were. Earlier that night, Alden had received a warning from the guards, telling that two young human infiltrated the demon realms. Not quite a surprise for there had been lots of people breaking in before... And they all ended up facing their dull fate: Death. So as always, he told his highness about it but was, in return, told to do absolutely nothing about it. So they would just have to wait till they get to the throne and crush all of their hopes then? That didn't sound like a bad idea at all...

It was an amusing sight to see everything work out perfectly. These two pitiful humans had entered the castle and without any guard holding them back, arrived rather quickly to the throne room where both he and the king have been waiting.

Alden couldn't help but smirk a little bit after hearing the brunette's outburst. "Wow, so much confidence..." He thought to himself, then rolling his eyes because he knew it wouldn't be long that she'd be fearfully trembling under his grip... Or more like, under his claws... Or swords... Ah, well, after all, it was the least he could do as the king's most faithful butler. These two wouldn't last much long for they probably wouldn't even be able to go past him. And of course, to attack the king, you had to defeat the butler.


Hearing his highness speak up after a good laugh made Alden turn around for a second before nodding. "Yes indeed. And I'm sure it will be quite amusing for you to watch..." And with that, he went back to face the two women for a moment, letting the kind and the blonde woman exchange a few words before hearing his cue. At that, of course, the butler couldn't help but smirk, taking off his white gloves. "As you wish." He replied.

Next thing we knew, the demon disappeared in a flash, only to appear behind the two foolish humans, closing the doors an locking them without much of a bother. In fact, it was only when the brown haired one charged that he began reacting, grabbing the girl's wrist before the sword could touch his skin without forcing a bit. He stared down at her with menacing eyes before pushing her away, leading to her falling and rolling a few meters away. He took that time to glance at the other one, wondering what she'd do as well. "I was expecting more coming from high ranked humans... Guess I overestimated the race again... It is slightly deceiving."
