ChiiThe Pure-Hearted
Chii came up to the stage, really curious what exactly his announcement was going to be. He said he had a secret surprise several times before, but never admitted what it was. Was this going to be it? She wasn't sure, but she was definitely curious. She stood next to him awaiting what he was going to tell everyone.
The chimera blinked, standing there in complete shock. Wait... He REALLY was freeing her-!? She shouldn't look so surprised, since he told her that he would, but she honestly never thought he would really do it. He had always been so self centered... and had no problems lying to get what he wanted. But here he was, being completely un-selfish.
He is... really a man of his word... She blushed pretty deep, staring right at him as he was speaking, and literally telling every single person in this huge banquet hall that she was special to him. Her heart skipped a beat, both with joy and with nervousness, expecting outrage at any given second. But so far, people were perfectly calm. Even after he unlocked her collar.
Chii honestly wanted to throw herself at him and hug him. She knew she didn't really want to be out there in the scary, real world by herself... but him being so selfless only made her THAT much more sure he was really a good person deep down. He wasn't anything like that evil, terrible demon she had met upon first coming here. She had somehow changed him, or so she thought, and it made her heart sing. It must have been true love, right?
Instead of being a bad girl and giving in to hugging him, she curtsied respectfully, trying to be very careful that she didn't offend anyone somehow.
"Thank you, your highness~" Chii said softly, both excited and terrified.
Zuni twitched in anger.
"Could he STOP ******** TOUCHING US already-?" She hissed quietly under her breath, honestly wanting to stab her high heeled shoe into his god damned face next time she 'saw' him. What a jack@$$.
She stayed quiet, listening to the announcement.
Yeah right. That man isn't capable of kindness. He has something up his sleeve. All these demons are the f**king same... What is he up to? What does he gain out of this?
She scoffed, crossing her arms, before whispering to Ketki.
"Kay, it's over... wanna load up a new plate or two before all those other slaves jump on the food?"

Demitrious
"And to close this night, I will like to dedicate this last dance to you Chii. Would you dance with me, Chii?"
He stepped back from the podium and bowed and offered his hand to her.
"I would love to share this closing dance with you, and finish this night with my ultimate announcement."
The crowed started cheering as he done this.

ChiiThe Pure-Hearted
Chii gently placed her hand into his, heart flittering nervously still. Wait, he had another announcement? An ultimate one? What did that mean? There was no point in asking him, he wasn't going to give up up obviously.
"I-I'd love to." She said, following him over to the dance area.
..... I really don't want people to stare, but everyone always does because it's him.... Don't mess up, Chii, don't mess up-!

Demitrious
He took her hand and led her to the dance floor where everyone, including some curious slaves gathered around to watch. The lights dimmed and music started playing. He took her hand and put his other hand to her waist and started slowly moving in a slow dance.
Every step being watched, his movement fluid and his eyes locked to hers, he slowly swayed her around as the romantic music filled the air. Noblemen and women watched intently as their Soiree was essentially one to be remembered for hundreds, hundreds of years.
From the inside you could start to hear the pitter patter of rain as it started drizzling down, pelting the top of the building they resided.
"Chii.... This night was really special to me. It will be remember forever."
After slow dancing for a while, he stopped and waved to the crowd, signalling the music to stop.
After the music stopped. He looked her in the eyes and kissed her straight on the lips. A long, meaningful kiss. Kiss that lasted longer than ten seconds. After he broke off the kiss, he got down on one knee and pulled out an ornate, red velvet and gold decor box with EVERYONE in the crowd gasping.
He opened the box and presented to Chii, a brilliant sterling silver, diamond decorated ring. eight diamonds was sticking on the ring with a final, ninth bigger diamond situated in the middle of the ring.
"Chii Reseria. Would do you do me the honor and become a princess? Become MY princess? Will you marry me?"

Ketki
Ketki immediately fixed her hair after Josef had patted it. God, she hated when he did that... She listened to Demitrious's boring announcement, well, until she saw that he was unhooking Chii of her collar. Wait, what?! Was he actually freeing her?! Huh?!?!
She turned back to Zuni when she whispered to her. That would be a good idea, with how hungry the other slaves must be, they would probably want to hurry up and load their plates while they could.. Good timing too, because everyone was distracted.
" Yeah... Let's go... " Ketki took Zuni's hand, leading her towards the fruit buffet first, she went ahead and grabbed two plates for her, and loaded them with a lot of chocolate covered strawberries, along with cherries, some watermelon, and various other fruits.
" I'll be right back... " Ketki whispered to Zuni, grabbing a plate to load up with pastries and sweets. She walked over to the table super fast. To her surprise, there were actually a lot left, especially the raspberry and cream tarts she liked... She got those, along with the chocolate cake she liked too... She paid no attention to Demitrious and Chii behind her, and hurriedly walked back to Zuni. She suddenly saw Demitrious down on one knee...
" W-What?! " She let out quietly. Was he.. proposing to Chii?!?!
Say no! Say no! Say no!!!

ChiiThe Pure-Hearted
The bunny girl was completely focus on Demitrious, and her feet. She really didn't want to end up doing something stupid, like trip. Her heart beat rapidly, getting really nervous with all of these people staring. She could literally feel their gazes. It was so nerve-wrecking... the last thing she wanted to do was embarrass him somehow.
She blushed harshly, jumping a little as he suddenly kissed her. In front of everyone. What was he thinking-!? She squeaked very softly, quickly getting distracted and kissing him in return. He broke it, and then knelt down in front of her.... WHAT-!? What in God's name was he doing-!?
Her eyes widened into large orbs, staring down at him in complete and utter disbelief. Oh my god oh my god what was he doing with that tiny box..... what... Her heart was racing so fast she felt like she was going to pass out right then and there. That ring... was... huge. It was worth her life a hundred times over, if not thousands.
Demitrious... was seriously... proposing... this didn't... feel real... at all... Was someone about to pinch her and wake her up from this dream? What was happening? She didn't know anymore, she felt like she was swooning...
She didn't even have to think... she knew what the answer was... even if she was completely terrified of what was going to happen.
"Y-Yes~!" Chii chirped out, literally throwing herself into his arms and hugging him tightly, planting another kiss on his lips. "Of course I'll marry you~!"
She almost spat out food she didn't even have in her mouth yet. WHAT-!??!?! Was that douche-bag SERIOUSLY proposing right now?! What in the absolute f**k was he THINKING with a move like THAT?! He stood nothing to gain, no kingdom to take over by marrying a daughter of someone in power... NOTHING. He was marrying some girl that grew up as a commoner, as a nobody compared to himself?
Zuni let out a long irritated sigh.
"...........................................F**k......" The kitny groaned internally with dread. There had to be something motivating him. She had seen him, felt him, endured him and his evil acts. This man was un-redeemable. There was something in this for him. Besides the obvious fact that Chii was beautiful, and rare. Were people just that impressed with her looks? What the hell....
She didn't know, but all she did know was this wasn't going to end well.
Once they're married, he will have no reason to keep acting nice. The act will drop off, and he will be back to his asshattery.....
That's it... That's what he did... He wanted to gain a s**tload of power by impressing everyone with this party... and he baited her. He promised her freedom if she worked hard to insent her, and that's why he changed into a nice guy suddenly. To make her care about him. He planned to propose to her all along. What an idiot, he could have paid a lot of money for someone to do just as good of a job as Chii did, AND marry someone in POWER. Something still isn't right here. Is he really this STUPID?
"Thanks, kid." Zuni grumbled, sat down with Ketki, and started stuffing her face out of sheer irritation. And Josef going on a walk, what was that s**t about? He much prefers f**king around with poor Ketki and I. He's up to something, too. God why are all the men jackasses around here.... She huffed to herself again, slowly calming herself down with the more fruit she ate.
"As soon as we're done, let's bounce. This place sucks. I'm going to GAG." All this FAKE lovey-dovey s**t made her want to vomit. But she wasn't about to with all this delicious fruit to gobble!

Demitrious
He smiled as she kissed him. His plan had come full circle. She was TRAPPED with him no matter how mean he would be, no matter how bad it got. No matter what now, she was his. Now if only he could be King everything will fall under his control. The country, the people, THE WORLD. Agravain would be beheaded, his enemies crushed under foot. This entire event was going so swimmingly, so well. It could be a freaking dream.
“I’m happy Chii....”
Demitrious picked her up in a hug and started twirling her around while the crowd awed and clapped their hands. Except for one.
”THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. DEPLORABLE.”
The aristocrat stormed up to the couple and stopped short of them.
“THIS IS HERESY, THE KING WILL NEVER ALLOW THIS! YOUR FATHER WILL HAVE YOUR HEIR APPARENT TITLE REVOKED! Low born SCUM like her can NEVER be allowed to be a princess! You GOT HER through my deals! I bought her specifically from that family AT YOUR ORDER! YOU scouted her out and KNEW about her family’s situation! YOU ARE THE REASON SHE IS RIPPED AWAY FROM HER LIFE!
What? What the hell is he talking about? I know nothing about her except Lilith bought her.
“What the hell are you on about? I have no idea what you are talking about. Agravain, may I remind you this is supposed to be a joyous occasion, I am getting engaged and this Gala was a huge success...”
“NO THIS IS UNNACCEPTABLE.”
He turned around and outstretched his arms.
“TO ALL WHO REJECT THIS NOTION, FOLLOW ME. For tonight, this goes against EVERYTHING we stand for! The prince NO LONGER has our well-being in consideration. This is an affront to all our culture, all our beliefs and all our religious scriptures. Follow me, as I am formally seceding my stake in this country. I am formally seceding my ties to the royal family and as such, declare rebellion against this ROYAL SCUM of a family! Follow me! As this event.... was a PLOY BY DEMITRIOUS to overthrow our families. A slave coming up with this? Coming up with all the decorations! BLASPHEMY. She did NOTHING. I bet this EVIL MAN is attempting to poison his father with the very flowers he LOVES.”
As he spoke his speech, less than half the crowd gathered behind Agravain.
“Demitrious, you BETRAYED the trust of your people. The trust of your father. And most of all... MY TRUST. In order for me to not have you and your family DEPOSED. Hand your slave to me. Then I shall stay in your country and the aristocrats behind me will back your claim to the throne. Do we have a deal?”

ChiiThe Pure-Hearted
Chii stood there in disbelief. Everyone was so happy a second ago... and now a riot? So suddenly, how the tides turn...
Her eyes flicked from Agravain to Demitrious questionably. She was just scum that they took advantage of? And they knew of her home situation? There was no way... she couldn't believe that. Even if she did believe it, it wouldn't even matter anyway. Her parents were selling her to someone, anyone, just to clear their gambling debts. It didn't matter who purchased her in the end.
Her eyes widened a little bit more as the man started leading a protest, right in front of everyone... this was becoming such a huge deal... and she couldn't really understand why. Everyone was completely okay with it seconds ago. Could this ONE man really change so many minds to start and entire rebellion? She could see the damage already starting to ensue. Demitrious was the only true heir to the throne, if he didn't succeed then they would have to locate a very far distant relative, from some other land far away, and would have nothing to do with the kingdom except take it over.
Agravain was a bad person. She knew for one hundred percent fact that he was lying now. The moment he said she didn't do anything for this gala, she knew everything coming out of his mouth was fictitious. He was there, he was all over her telling her what good ideas she had, he was fawning over her all night long about it. Why was he making all of this stuff up? It made no sense, especially because this gala had been a success for his awful slave trading business...
Wait... what-!? He would stop all of this drama if... he surrendered Chii to him?
Chii looked at Demitrious, her bunny ears drooping. If she went with that awful man... then he would have a get-out-of-jail-free card. The question was, was that even true? She didn't know... but she did know she felt insanely guilty because this entire thing was all because of her marrying him. Her eyes watered a little, knowing she didn't want to, but she didn't want this happening to the love of her life. He was WAY more important.
"... I... I should go... Th-This is all because of me, I'm not worth all of this..." She hugged herself to him, not wanting to let go but knowing she would have to... she was already beginning to grieve.

Demitrious
Demitrious face contorted in anger. How DARE Agravain do this!
A revolt right in my face? PREPOSTEROUS! THE AUDACITY. These allegations are a crime upon the throne itself!
His fists shook in anger.
“Agravain.... I WILL HAVE YOUR HEAD FOR THIS! GUARDS TAKE HIM AWAY AND EXECUTE HIM!”
The guards didn’t move, they stood there.
“Wha- FOLLOW YOUR ORDERS!”
Still no movement. Anger steadily grew into out right fury in his face
Agravain grinned.
“So this is the true colors of our crown prince? A child throwing a tantrum when allegations are made upon him? Well if I say anything: he’s unfit for leadership. A real picture on how this royal family raised him. A reflection of his own father.”
With a clap the rebellious noble walked around the prince.
The hall was silent.
“By decree of the Royal treaty, section 13 line 58, an act of rebellion can only be declared and be dealt with after being stated upon blood of the royal family in the presence of an high acting member of the royal highness council: me, be witness by at least four members of the higher houses within the royal court, and be witness by a high ranking general. Which is present. After this night I have fifteen days to send a letter to the king himself stating my reasons for rebellion and no actions be taken unless signed by the highness himself and the aggressor. If none of these steps are taken, immediate custody is to be taken by the aggressor and him be tried for treason. However I already have taken the steps within the outlined law and I can walk free. I will gather my followers and declare WAR and secession from your country. You cannot do anything until the war has been declared and you are powerless to retain me for such crimes until the criteria have been met.”
He grinned wildly and walked over to Chii and grasped her shoulders.
“I stated my terms to not declare war on you in the company of basically THE ENTIRE WORLD. The world is watching, crown prince. Your choice. Your peoples well being. Or Chii, a slave. Lowborn scum who should be nothing more than meat. Breeding factory. Whatever. Your choice. PRINCE. Does everyone else agree with me?”
Half of the collaborators that gathered with Agravain nodded their heads and some of them said “I concur” and one woman screamed out: “REMOVE THE VILE WITCH FROM THE PRESENCE OF THE ROYAL PRINCE AND REMOVE HER INNARDS AND TOSS HER TO BE BURNED AT THE STATE FOR SHE IS A WITCH! VILE DEMON!”
Demitrious eyes gazed upon the crowd that was against him, the prince still holding onto the box with the ring. Brow furrowed in sheer anger.
“You all.... come out on one of the most important nights... THE EVE OF MY FATHERA BIRTHDAY!? You RUIN one of the happiest moments of my life. You ruin a chance at this country getting better trade routes so you can remove MY slave from the throne?”
He then grinned.
“I knew there was something brewing, I knew there was a rebellion being incubated and about to hatch. May I remind you ALL that this was no longer a slave ascending to being a princess, but a free woman? Don’t you all remember?”
The prince pulled out the collar from his pocket.
“This collar was a symbol of her slavery to me. Which may I remind you ALL that she is free? She’s not just a lowborn Slavs anymore AGRAVAIN. But a free citizen of Reseria? I have her formal freedom slavery nullification papers right here.”
He pulled out a case and opened it to reveal a signed document stating Chii’s nullification of her slavery.
“So tell me again, Agravain why you declare war?”
Agravain angrily took the paperwork and looked it over. His eyes widening and him deciding to toss it behind him.
“You still lost the favor of your people DEMITRIOUS. You are still marrying a commoner for the sake of your desires! You just outright told the country you could care less about their well being! You told me your answer. I declare WAR upon you.”
With a whistle, four guards left their post and walked behind Agravain.
“Ahh, So you had collaborators within my palace? So your treachery goes even further beyond. All because you wanted my slave that you rightfully sold to me? Cute. You are the demon in this case.”
Agravain then smiled wildly, his teeth glistening in the candle light revealing one tooth completely golden.
“A demon you say.... A DEMON?! Ahaha.... you have any right to call me a demon? I am no demon Demitrious. However... the family that my father married my sister to IS. That’s right.... my sisters last name was Courwhile. Elizabeth Courwhile. It was a secret marriage. The reason why my family was such close ties with yours? My father married off my sister to a demon. That’s right. Your mother was my sister. She was KILLED by your father after you were born. YOUR FAMILY IS NOTHING BUT DEMONS! Yes.... I am your UNCLE DEMITRIOUS.”
The entirety of the crowd gasped, half of them started shouting and the other half just murmuring.

ChiiThe Pure-Hearted
Chii jolted gently when Agravain put his hands onto her shoulders. She looked up at him, heart flickering inside of her with fear. This man... was completely demented... Nothing would satisfy him besides his demands of taking over her ownership of her. People started agree with him... and slowly half the people in the room were ready to be at Demitrious' throat because of fighting over her. Everything and everyone was so happy just moments ago... until he proposed. This felt like it was going to be an outrage, like before, when she took a blade to her leg. What if they attacked Demitrious, too? If... If they really thought she was a witch... they would...
Agravain had even more up his sleeve. Her eyes widened a little in shock. Wait, they were RELATED? That... That meant technically, by marriage, this man posed as a second right to the throne. Agravain could also lay claim to the throne, if Demitrious was deemed unfit. Marrying a commoner could be used as a weapon to plead insanity.
"Pl... Please, Sir Agravain..!" Chii finally chimed in, trying to swallow her dread and fear. She loved Demitrious too much to just sit idly by and let war break out, right after she got engaged to him. "This... This is wrong... Please reconsider..."
She had her arms pleadingly down at her sides, not knowing any other way to protect her fiance besides complete submission.
"If.... If I go with you, will you stop this madness? That alone will satisfy you?" The usagi held her wrists forward, put together, as if she had on invisible hand-cuffs. "Th-Then I'll do it... Just leave M-- D-Demitrious alone... He loves his kingdom, his duty is to his people... Please... Don't do this..."

Demitrious
"No Chii, that isn't happening."
The Prince walked in front of her and stood between her and Agravain.
"Fine, begin your rebellion that you have been plotting with your collaborators before. Go ahead and laugh as I squash you like a bug. Calling my family demons? Please. Such allegations are foundation less."
Agravain chuckled.
"Oh trying to hide the truth? Where are all the virgin slaves that you purchased from me? You bought dozens before and they are no where to be found on the list."
He pulled out a scroll and tapped it against his own head.
"You gave me the manifest to the party yet I do not see any of their names here. Let me recount them all to you that you personally ordered through Lillith, your familiar. "
He recounted all the names he sold Demitrious.
"Oh wait, I have their names on the death certificates. Whoever wants to see them, come by me at my own home after this event."
He smiled and turned towards Chii.
"You heard your Fiancee. You're not going with me. I don't want you anymore. You fed me all the ammunition I needed anyway to start my Coup. Thank you Chii, I am forever in your debt."
With a bow, he turned and his followers left the dance floor.

ChiiThe Pure-Hearted
Chii was pretty sure he was still lying... a bunch of virgin slaves that died? Well... actually... it did sound a lot like what happened to herself... but most of what he said was a lie just to make Demitrious look bad... so nothing he said could really be deemed as admissible evidence.
Her eyes watered, trying not to cry. This gala had just been his way of getting what he wanted... and she had unknowingly helped him achieve it... She couldn't even be happy that she was getting married... Would she even, at this point? Probably not, if people really hated her that much.
She sobbed softly, hugging herself to Demitrious. "I-I'm sorry-y-y...! Please... Please don't h-hate me..."
Zuni couldn't believe how much drama was ensuing. It actually made her VERY happy to hear Demitrious so angry. If it wasn't for so much at Chii's expense, she would have been very very entertained by this chain of events.
She stayed sitting, starting to drink some left over wine while eating more of the food.
"Well, this stupid gala f**kin' sucked. Only thing good was the food. Is Josef back? Maybe he died or fell off a cliff." Wouldn't THAT be nice?

Josef
It was raining, the clouds dark and ominous as they dropped the rainwater upon the country. The night was perfect for Josef to hunt.
The King was strolling with an umbrella, looking at the flowers and smelling them.
"Ahh... Such a nice aroma... Reminds me of my youth... The flowers that brought me and my late wife together.... God I miss her...
Josef crouched down as he slowly crept towards the king. The Monarch shall be his prize for the night. As the royal blood that flowed through his veins was almost as Tantalizing as a virgin. The blood of a God.
The king sat down on the bench with a white hyacinth. He brought it to his nose and took a nice, long deep breath and sighed. Tears slowly flowed down from his eyes.
"I miss you Elizabeth... If only you were here to see how much your son has Grown... He finally found himself someone to marry... It wasn't royalty but I have never seen the color in his eyes more vibrant and brilliant as they are now... He has a lot of growing up to do but.... He is still the same.... a bit rough around the edges but.."
The malign doctor made his way behind the king. Thunder rumbled in the background, masking whatever if any noise he made.
"You know Josef. I can hear you. I know you are here for my life. So no need to creep. It is my time anyway."
The King looked forward, his gaze fixated in the space before him.
"Times are troubling the kingdom... Agravain, my brother in law is going to start his plans. I had no power to stop him since he placed this debilitating curse on me...."
The king looked at his gloved left hand, with no issue he took it off and it revealed a purple, malnourished looking hand that was rotting from the inside out.
"You have helped me well for these past ten years... But soon the curse will take my life.... You are doing me a favor by killing me. So please do it quick."
Josef wasn't listening, the animalistic instincts were in full effect. He was going to feast upon this morsel with no remorse. He leapt at the kings throat and bit into it.
At first, blood flowed into his mouth was the most delicious thing in the world. However, after the cursed blood went into his system, Josef started convulsing and screaming, but the blood was too good. He kept sucking and biting.
With a roar, he transformed into his empowered Vampire form, screaming loudly as lightning struck the tree next to them both. The tree crumbled down instantly, causing a huge CRASH that everyone heard in the dance Hall.
Josef kept screaming in agony as he ingested the blood. The scream wasn't made by a human but a demon, reverberating through the pitter patter of the rain.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH"
The king was dead, all his life force sucked out by Josef.
Demitrious
"You did nothing wrong Chii... Why would I hate you? You're my fiance now. Lets just focus on the future...?"
As he said that, and as the crowd was starting to leave, a roar echoed throughout the dance hall followed by a loud lightning strike and the sound of the tree crashing in the garden.
"What the hell is going on?"

Zuni's ears perked forward, hearing chaos in the distance. Josef said he was going for a stroll in the garden... and she could swear she heard screaming over that direction. She was blind, but it only made her hearing that much more tuned in to what was going on. What was happening over there....
She quietly sipped on her wine, an eerie feeling washing over her. Who would be out there besides him at a time like this...
After lightning and crashing, some people rushed out to investigate what had just gotten struck... and people started screaming.
"The King... He's... He's DEAD! Our beloved King is dead-!"
Zuni instantly set down her glass and grabbed Ketki's arm urgently.
"Let's get the hell out of here. Now."

Ketki
Woah, woah, woah. What just happened..? Normally Ketki understood things quite well, but this was just confusing!! She set her plate down, and scooted a bit closer to Zuni. Demitrious proposed to Chii... and people were happy at first... but now there were threats for a rebellion, and then more threats, and it just didn't make sense. Ketki tried to wrap her head around things, just staring in complete silence at all the commotion. Uncle? Chii leave? Virgin slaves? Huh?! There were... so many names.. Did he really kill all those girls..?
Thank God Chii didnt have to leave!! Chii always helped Ketki so much, and made her feel somewhat safe in her presence. It was nice having a motherly figure like Chii, even if she wasn't.
Ketki gave a sigh after the so called Agravain left. He was actually pretty scary if she thought about it. And Chii seriously could've been snatched up by that Agravain man... She turned to look at Zuni when she started talking. True, only the food was good here, and yeah, Josef dying would be great. Ketki was honestly scared of thunder, and jumped a lot at the sudden lightning strike and loud crashing. W-What was that?! Wait, didn't Josef say he was going to go for a stroll..? What did he exactly mean by that.....? She jumped again when Zuni took her arm, and told her that they needed to get out of here. What?! The king was dead?! How could he possibly have- Was this Josef's doing?! Wouls he actually go as far as to kill the king?! No way!!
Ketki did as Zuni said, and followed her out of the ballroom, her ears flattened against her head. What a night this turned out to be!! She should seriously start expecting the worst out of things from now on! Chii was going to marry Demitrious, the Agravain man threatened a rebellion, and to add that cherry on top, the king was now dead!!
