On the continent of Kasanagara across the sea from where the human kingdoms reside sits a mighty castle. A castle constructed by the demons who live on the continent for the sole purpose of housing their ruler, the demon lord. Outside the demon king's castle on a balcony with the red moon above, the ruler presiding over this massive complex herself reads through some papers. Finished with reviewing them, she puts the stack aside and turns to her assistant.

Ariel: Are you sure this is up to date?

Balto: Yes, they have somehow acquired knowledge of us and are moving forces to bolster the strongholds. A few forces that weren't under any of the generals control were all turned away.

Ariel: Yeah that is a problem. How did they know we were going to attack before we even declared war? Is there a little spy or is this a reaction to something else entirely that we don't know? I'll quickly send one of my queens to crush it them before they organize even more. While I send it, order all the key players back.

Balto: Understood, I'll arrange to send messengers to the generals. It will still take them a few days to arrive though.

Ariel: It's fine.

Standing up, the small but powerful ruler of demons goes to the railing of the balcony and looks out upon the vast ocean and world.

--------A few days later

Gathered around a large table by the demon lord's decree, all the generals of the demon race sits. Sitting around 3 of the attendees draw some eyes. A man clad in black dragon armor giving off an intense aura, a women clad in a long white cloak that just barely covers her backside, and a knight clad in a unnatural forming armor with his feet crossed on top of the table. Angered by such an disrespectful act being made by the knight, all the generals instantly have a bad impression and some even want to take action. About to stand up, the fifth general Darado stops when the entrance opens. Entering the room, the footsteps echo like their being amplified and the one known as the Demon Lord walks in. Having a medium to small appearance, most of the people attending would be well over her. Following behind her, a composed man wearing glasses leads her to a seat. Having the atmosphere suddenly change, each second she takes to walk to her seat feels like an eternity. Finally sitting down she takes a super casual and careless demeaner not that alike from the knight. Watching and seeing them not give their traditional greeting, her assistant lashes out.

Balto: You Bastards!! She is the demon lord, greet her while standing!

Seeing him scream out and angry, the generals just decide to go along with it and stand. The only ones still not following suit is the 3 irregulars and one other. Knowing they have special circumstances, his attention turns to his brother still not showing their master the respect they deserve.

Balto: BLOW!!!

Simply turning his head away with his arms crossed, he still sits down. Seeing this happen before her, the demon lord speaks out carefree and not worrying about the crucial loyalty to much.
