Once the meeting was over Seir walked in the courtyard, admiring the flowers as she usually did when she wanted to think. She found it peaceful, she loved it, and made her feel like a good person. Although she knew she wasn’t, she knew how dark she was and all the horrors she committed to achieve her position. As she was deep in thought Camio snuck up behind her.

“Admiring the flowers again?”

“A-aah.” she jumped in surprise. “You scared the hell out of me. What do you want?” she asked.

“We need to talk about Barbatos and the Demon Lord.”

“I know.”

“Barbatos is a great leader but he is taking things way too far. He is risking the safety of all the demonkin for his own position as leader. He sees the Demon Lord as a threat to his position.”

“The Demon Lord failed the test and tried being kind. Unlike many demonkin I can respect that. But Barbatos cannot accept a kindhearted leader ruling over him.”

“He wants a ruthless ruler to wipe out the humans and then be discarded so he may rule again. All the Legionnaires swore to follow any Demon Lord that is summoned during their lifetime and many have forgotten that.”

“I know, on top of that we shouldn’t be harming those we swore to protect.”

“You speak of Aldua, she was a good child and deserved better. She once told me it was her dream to serve the people of the castle so I had her brought here. Ultimately her death is on me.” Camio said solemnly.

“We need to find Demon Lord Legion and make him rule over us no matter what he does, he is our Lord and rightful ruler. It is our place to serve him.”

“Then lets, I will send private scouts that I trust to find him. We can speak to him personally after he is found.” Camio said before leaving the courtyard and Seir returned to admiring the flowers.
