In Love With Him [~Bankotsu x Reader~] (ReMastered)

Chapter 4

We were currently in a large village, the emperor of the village had hired Bankotsu to go and kill the emperorof a neighboring village so that he could take over his lands and expand his village.

Humans were such violent creatures when they rose to power, and some didn't need power. Why didn't he have the army power to fight on his own?

We were all summoned to his castle, and the emperor of this land was explaining to us how he wanted the mission to be carried out.

His eyes kept darting to my figure, and he had finally addressed me.

"Bankotsu, is this a new member of yours?" He asked.

"Yeah." Bankotsu replied.

"What is your name, little lamb?" The male asked.

I bowed my head, showing a bit of respect. I disliked the nickname he gave me but I would bear it for now.

"Y/n, your grace." I responded.

"Y/n...such a lovely name for a beauty like yourself, my dear." He spoke in a long drawl.

"Thank you, your grace." I said gently, lifting my head to meet his gaze.

Lust was in those wretched green eyes of his, and he had a devilish smile on his face.

He quickly directed his attention back to the rest of the Band of Seven.

"There is a free hut for you and your crew here, please help yourself to the food, and I will send down a few attendants to help make your stay more comfortable. Notify a servant if you need anything." The emperor spoke and clapped his hands.

The two males by the door quickly shuffled towards us as if their lives depended on it, and began to escort us all out of the throne room.

"Well, it looks like we have a place to stay before we go and pillage the neighboring town." Bankotsu smiled.

We were notified that Kyokotsu would be sleeping in his own larger hut due to the other huts lacking the space needed to accommodate him.

"At least they gave us plenty of women and booze!" Renkotsu said.

The women of the village were more frightened than anything, they feigned happiness for the sake of not being killed.

Bankotsu had been uninterested in the women here, he poured his own sake and ate his food silently.

"Big brother? Is everything okay?" Jakotsu asked Bankotsu.

"Everything's fine." Bankotsu smiled.

"You aren't enjoying the feast." Mukotsu said matter-of-factly.

"Nah, I love the food and the drinks, it's just the women here aren't my type." Bankotsu smiled.

I could feel the shift of energy in the women, they were a bit relieved that they no longer had to serve Bankotsu, but felt more pressure applied seeing as they weren't his type, so if they slipped up, he would show no mercy.

I had of course served myself, I wasn't exactly fond of human food, but I could stomach it.

I heard their whispers as they all stood in a corner of the room.

"Maybe the woman there is his type...?"

"That's none of our concern. As long as we behave we'll get out of this alive."

"If we were to slip up and these men here don't kill us, the master certainly will..."

"Please just do your best not to anger any of them. I do want to go back home to my husband and child alive..."
