Mask

-No one's POV-

"Is that him?"

"I can't believe the queen actually invited them..."

"Mommy? Is that those monsters you tell me about? Those who gives me nightmares if I'm a bad girl?"

"Yes honey, they are. It's demons."

"The demon king..."

"It's just like the rumours says, they really have masks to cover their faces... I can't believe that they actually rape poor women."

"Don't forget that they kill innocent people!"

The Demon king walked towards the castle in the all race kingdom. The biggest city in the whole Britannia, having all races except one... demons.

The city was famous for all its goddesses, beautiful structures, kindness and perfection. Their queen even being a goddess, the kindest and most beautiful woman in the whole world.

His two sons was following behind, each on each side of the demon king. A blonde boy on the right side and a black haired one on the left.

They was both wearing masks covering nearly their whole faces. The masks started at their foreheads and stopped at the nose for them being able to breathe. The masks was wide, from ear to ear and completely black. It was two holes in the masks for then to see, but that didn't make the recognition any easier. Those parts that wasn't covered by the mask was mostly covered by darkness as well as most of their bodies.

The hair and the small part of the skin you could see was the only thing to recognize, which many other people had the same colours on skin and hair.

They walked proudly as the princes they were, even with the whispers going around about them. They didn't show any emotions nor did the king.

Most people stayed clear of them, having at least 10 meters distance. It was hard to imagine that they could hear the whispers from others whole being 10 meters away, but demons did have much better hearing than other races. Well, as good hearing as goddess had. That was only when their power was activated though. The darkness gives them much better senses, which could be to help, but most of the time is a burden with all rumours about them.

The King stopped in front of the gate to the castle. The princes stopping immediately and even in sync, like they had been practicing their entrance.

"Who do you think will be the future king of monsters?"

"I wonder what their names are, no one have ever heard it and survived..."

"Ha, if their names is so bad that they are that ashamed to give it out, what could it be?"

"D-don't try to pick a fight with them! I-I heard the youngest prince ate his first victim raw, he was 3 at the time! Also, the oldest prince is told to seek the family of the victims, kill all the males and rape the women! T-the youngest girl he raped was 4!"

"T-they really are terrifying creatures, aren't they?"

The gate slowly opened, the Supreme deity and her daughter and heir, Elizabeth, stood patiently, waiting for them to enter. They was both standing proud with a welcoming, but still slightly stern expression.

"Welcome Demon king, demon princes. It's a honour to have you here."

Everyone watched their interaction.

"Of course, it's for the peace between the five races, or at least the two of our kingdoms." The demon king spoke. The Supreme deity just nodded as all children stood quietly.

The two princes just wanting to get out of their masks, which you was always forced to wear in public.

The silver haired goddess, that stood in front of the blonde prince, just felt nervous and wanted to get away from there.

She knew it wasn't right to judge someone by rumours, but until now, the rumours haven't had anything else than right.

The look the blonde gave her, the way he eyed her up and down without anyone else noticed, just made her feel like his next victim. Whether victim of being raped or killed, she did not know, but it made her more than uneasy.

"It's a bit much commotion out here, wouldn't you say? What about we go inside?" The Supreme deity asked, mentioning towards the castle. The demon king agreed as the gates behind then closed while they all walked into the throne room.

"As you all probably know, I'm the Supreme deity and this is my daughter and heir, Elizabeth." The Supreme deity introduced, her daughter forcing a smile and made a small curtsy.

The Supreme deity then asked "Would you like to introduce your children?"

"They are not to be spoken to by name, this is my eldest son and heir as this is my youngest." The demon king answered, mentioning to each of his children as they both made a bow when they was mentioned.

"Well then, if not by name, what would you like us to call them?" The Supreme deity asked, looking at the demon king straight in the eyes. Elizabeth just felt a bit uncomfortable as the blonde's gaze was still resting on her, making her even more sure that she was his next victim.

"Lord or master would be most appropriate, but eldest prince and youngest prince is also acceptable. Only I and my sons is allowed to speak the name of the future leader."

"Very well, would you like to take off the masks?" The goddesses leader asked as two butlers walked up to the two princes with empty silver trays.

"They are not to take off their masks in public, whether they want to or need. Only I am deciding when their faces will be showed for other people." The man said, making the Supreme deity sigh mentally as the two butlers walked away from the princes, that haven't moved much at all since they entered.

"Would it be alright if my daughter would escort your sons in the castle and to their rooms? We have an important discussion to discuss after all."

The silver haired daughter felt herself start to panic on the inside as the demon king agreed.

With a small glare from her mother, she slowly started walking towards the exit to the throne room, the two princes following on each of her side.
