Demiurge is one of the rare demons that were fully capable of rational thought, not only that but he is also known as one of the most capable and masterful strategists of the entire devil race.
He is as tall as a regular human, he has diamond-like eyes, pointy ears, spiked hair, and slightly tan skin.
He was wearing his typical 2 pieces of formal red suit and was on his knees as he said "Everything shall be as you desire, my Lord. I already have a few strategies that could be implemented this time around to deal with these insects that annoyed you so greatly."
"Good."
Both Alexius and his wife said together, proving how synced they are in most matters.
"Then I shall be taking my leave. Until tomorrow dear, I want to see the spectacle you will show me." Yuki Barbatus said as she activated a teleportation magic circle, disappearing completely from that space.
After his wife left Alexius reclined on his chair and turned to his Queen.
"As we wait for the others to arrive, I have a question for you, how are my son's classes going?" Alexius asked.
Demiurge smiled and said.
"He has been most excellent. He learns everything I teach him as if a sponge taking water, his instincts and intellect will surely make the house Barbatus grow further in the future." Demiurge said, his fond smile was genuine as he said those words, but Alexius knew that this smile was the exact same Demiurge usually had whenever he managed to ruin an enemy's life or extract information from someone after a session of 'anatomy studies'.
Well, not that Alexius minded. He already knew what sort of being Demiurge was from the start and he also knew that for someone like him who was surrounded by enemies on all sides (either those from other races or those who disliked his work in the devil's council) needed those who were evil and smart enough to get the results required no matter the cost.
"Good, continue the good work and be sure to teach him everything he might need to deal with the darker side of society." Alexius said and Demiurge nodded in acceptance.
Right after that, the other servants arrived and when the preparations were done they quietly went out.
It was time to hunt.
After sleeping the whole night, proving how tiresome the weapon creation and scribing was, I stood up and went out to see if Hainekou was alright right now.
I knocked on the door but heard no reply, but this is my house and I just wanted to see how she is doing so I opened the door.
She was awake alright, so much so that she was looking at me cautiously from the ground, where her pillow was, and that showed clear signs of her sleeping there (the fur being a dead giveaway).
"Was the bed uncomfortable?" I asked, even though I could imagine her reason to not sleeping on the bed (most likely distrust) I think it is best to ask this. If anything this question may help in disarming her cautious if only just a bit.
"...Why am I still alive?" She asked, her voice clearly a bit more energetic then last night.
"Because you are innocent." I said, and I meant it. I honestly doubt my father would have gone there himself to ask for her side of the story and Demiurge's methods are 'a bit' extreme. If she would survive or even be whole after his questions was in doubt.
She looks confused, so I decided to continue talking.
"My father went out last night after hearing your words, what happened to you should never have happened and he went out to investigate the truth about your words. He probably will be back later today, so until he returns and tell us what he discovered you should remain here in this room and rest. We will probably be sending you something to eat shortly so sit tight and wait for the food to arrive, I will have you know that our cooks are among the very best." I said before turning to leave, this is probably a lot to take in so it would be best if I gave her some space, no point in pressuring her further.
Oh, I almost forgot.
"Please rest in the bed, it is yours for the time being so you might as well enjoy a decent rest after doing so much."
Before she could reply I walked out of the door. I wanted to make sure she was fine, and she is about as good as she could right now so I have nothing to worry about for now.
What I have to do right now is to go to the library for a bit, to see if I can look for the books about magic from multiple schools and see if there is anything about Touki as I bet it would fit in well with the Black Heaven and Earth Technique.
After looking through the books for a while I did not find any about what I wanted, but I did find a book describing the unique races that used to exist around our territory.
Looking at their description I could see that they were once quite powerful and amongst them there were the insectuous werewolves.
They were very powerful and they were separated into smaller divisions depending on the race. They had a myriad of unique skills that no other species could copy.
However they were exterminated due to being surrounded by too many enemy species, the insectuous werewolves were too prideful to ever ally with anyone else, and their demise was mostly due to exhaustion more than anything else.
Their remaining members were mostly taken as slaves, and are now reasons why making alliances are important.
That is why we are allied to some of the tribes close by, especially the Giants, dwarfs, gnomes, driads, and even some connections with the fallen angels (even if we still are wary of them and don't allow for a single one to enter our territory without constant supervision).
