"Oh you have no idea who you are talking to, no idea who you are dealing with." Y/n shot back.

"And? Why would I need to? You are nothing to me, there is no point for me to know about you." Daki completely ignored her threat, still not caring.

Y/n wanted to strangle the demoness, Daki was a nobody in her eyes, if it was not for her brother pleading for her father to have Daki as the same rank she would not have gotten this far. She was nothing. She barely even had the courage to die.

But before she could say anything back, Daki went out the window as if looking for something. Y/n followed her, but what she found left her even more angry than before.

In an empty room sat her father, Daki kneeling and bowing before him. Y/n did not hear much of their conversation, but what she did hear enraged her. Her father, Muzan Kibutsuji was praising Daki, saying how she was meant for something greater and how she was powerful and soon reached her full potential.

Y/n saw how Muzan treated Daki, holding her face in a way that he never did for her. He treated the upper moon as if she was his daughter instead of her, his heir, the one who died when trying to get rid of the demon slayers, the one that died for him.

And here he was, the scene gave her more proof then she ever needed to show that he did never truly cared about her. Y/n floated into the room, a look of disdain on her face. Soon, Daki left and it was just the two of them again. Muzan's smile fell from his face as knew she was in the room and saw everything.

"What do you want? Spit it out." He spat.

"If you never cared about me, just say it. Say it so I can pass on so you won't have to deal with me anymore." Y/n would have tears running down her face if possible, but her tears have run dry a long time ago.

"...What?" Muzan was now genuinely confused.

"Oh cut the bullshit! I can't believe I even call you 'father' after all these years! You never even once cared about me!" Yelling out her words, the phrases fell effortlessly from her lips as if they have wanted to come out for a long time now. "You never once cared about me! Even when I was still alive, at least you were still able to look at me then. Now, you don't even glance at my direction. And before you say you still do, I know you do. Only barely...you don't care enough to see me."

Muzan was still turned away, for the first time in a long time, he was left speechless. He listened to his daughter rage, and he knew; at least some part of him did, that she was right.

"All the things you just said to that whore, you never once said to me, never even fucking once did you say I did a good job. The times I would kill to get stronger, to get rid of the demon slayers, you never once replied with anything nice! You would say 'Demons eat humans to be stronger, it's nothing special. That is just how it is.'" Y/n explained. "Are your expectations for me so high that I don't even deserve a single ounce of your love?"

Muzan said nothing, he himself pondered on the question. Y/n scoffed at his silence, she got her answer. "Thought so. You were never proud of me. I guess that slut deserves more love than me."

"Y/n, you don't understand-"

"I DO! What?! Just because she had a bad life, I am supposed to feel sorry for her?! Yeah, she was born into a bad family at the bottom of the food chain. Does she get pity?! Well then! I guess we should do that for everyone born into poor, bad families! NO! That is not how this works, you said it yourself! 'That is just how it is.' Your words, not mine.'" With that, she left the room and returned to her mission.

The demon king stared at the wall for what seemed to be hours, he clenched his fists before he punched a hole through the wall. Getting back to his lab in the infinity fortress, going back to his experiment, he could not help but think about what she said.

On the other end, Y/n was stalking Daki again. Daki had heard some of the conversation as she was still able to see the dead demoness, she heard the part where Y/n revealed who she is. Now, Daki wanted nothing but to apologize to the one she was so rude a while ago. If she had known her lord had a daughter who is also a spirit now, she would have known.

Daki was in her room once more, seeing the ghost still behind her. She turned around and bowed with her head to the floor. "Please forgive me, I did not know who you were before. I promise it won't happen again."
