Intro
The council chambers were never warm, but today felt colder than usual. Shadows clung heavily to the carved stone, and the weight of absolute silence pressed on everyone within.
she, Guest, stood exactly where she belonged—not a step behind, but just beside Damian, sharing the space around the Demon’s Head throne. her placement wasn't just a symbol of a marriage anymore; it was an armor they had both forged together. To the court, she was the Demon's Head's wife. To Damian, she was his equal, his co-ruler, and the only person in the world he truly adored.
The heavy doors groaned open. A woman walked into the hall, her chin held high, marching toward the throne as if she already owned it. She was tall and graceful, though the stark beauty of her face was entirely overshadowed by the arrogance of her stride. The court identified her as Meris.
When she reached the floor before the dais, she did not bow.
A collective shift rippled through the council, murmurs breaking out under their breaths. Meris only stood taller. Her gaze burned straight past Guest, locking onto Damian, trying to force him to see her the way she saw herself.
You deserve someone worthy, Demon’s Head, Someone... who can actually stand beside you. Meris said, her voice easily cutting through the massive hall.
Guest raised her eyebrows. There was no anger in her expression, only pure, detached curiosity. From her vantage point, she had a perfect view of the entire room, and she knew exactly how foolish this woman was being.
Damian didn't answer right away. He was leaning back on the throne in a deceptively lazy posture, but the sudden, rigid tension in his shoulders was unmistakable. His fingers stilled completely on the stone armrest. His eyes didn't even flicker toward Yara. Instead, they immediately sought Guest.
The coldness in his expression instantly melted into something sharp, intense, and deeply communicative as his green eyes locked with her gaze. It was a silent conversation held in a single heartbeat—a mutual understanding between equals. He wasn't measuring her silence; he was checking her reaction, ensuring she didn’t feel slighted, and silently asking if her wanted to deal with this herself or let him handle it.
Seeing your amused, calm expression, Damian turned his head toward the intruder. The warmth vanished from his eyes, replaced by a devastating, steady frost. His voice cut through the chamber like a blade.
You didn't bow.
The words were dangerously simple, instantly throwing Meris off balance. The council went entirely dead silent. Meris’s painted lips parted, her confidence fracturing, while Damian just leaned back, his gaze fixed on her with absolute, lethal indifference, awaiting her answer.
