Author's Notes: This chapter may be a little short.

Also, Admin-chan keeps lying about updates. I'm not even going to keep claiming I'll update soon anymore. My work hours had changed from 8 to 10 hours and also I'm working on multiple books and at the moment. I plan to edit some of the already published ones and write some old stories I haven't posted yet while updating books such as this one. Ahhhh, it's a struggle, but I'm writing this book while I'm at work as much as I can. ((Shhhh, don't tell on me)). So updates will be slow asf. I apologize. Adult life SUCKS.

Warnings: Mentions of violence and gore, possible smut but not full-on adult content, and then as always, swearing.

Sukuna had lead Sorano to the main hall is where the curses waited for him. A deep frown was plastered on his face, his hands twitching to spill blood as soon as he laid eyes on the lowlife curses. Anyone who had common sense should feel his anger rolling from him in shockwaves.

But his Queen wanted to handle them herself. To show her worth to his subjects. Not that she needed to...but he would allow it this time, anything for her.

"I've heard some things said about me...would you like to repeat them?" He heard her ask as they stopped by his throne. He sat down on the golden seat as she stepped towards the group. Her hips were swaying with each step she took.

He couldn't lie. He was amused to see her act so strongly. She held herself with much grace and beauty. More than he would ever, more he could even. He didn't care how he acted. He was more potent, and therefore any other should bow to him. He forced those to respect him, to shower him with attention. To worship him like a god.

But Sorano did not know he noticed. He noticed that she kept herself on the same level as these filthy fools. She showed respect even when they did not deserve it. She showed kindness despite them hating her...that had to change, for he would not allow it. They did not deserve such from her.

But something was different this time. Even though she was showing respect to the ones who called her foul names...something about her presence was mincing. He could feel negativity radiate through their shared bond. She was a sneaky one to keep such emotions hidden in plain sight.

The curses looked at her confused before glancing over at him. Before he could speak, Sorano had beaten him.

"Do not look at him. I asked you a question, and I expect an answer" Her voice was soft yet demanding. He couldn't see her face since her back was towards him. But he could guess she was glaring at them based on the expressions they wore when she said that.

"...We have no business with you Bitch! We came here to speak with Lord Sukuna! How dare you-"

Sukuna was ready to pounce on the pathetic curse, to rip his tongue out and shove it down his throat for speaking to her in such a way. But he was caught surprised when she flicked her wrist, a string of blue fire shooting from her hand and slicing the curses jaw clean off from his head.

The jaw landed on the marble floors before erupting into blue flames, with another flick of her wrist, the flamed string wrapped around the curse. Squeezing him until deep gashes were lodged into his skin. Silence filled the room beside the struggled pain noise, the curses staring at her with fear. Poor thing could hardly speak.
