The King's Queen

Chapter 19

It had been a few days now and currently you were wearing a black and red kimono that Uraume gave you as your uniform, you had only arrived the night before and were exhausted even with that three day coma you got you still felt absolutely tired. It didn't help your situation that Sukuna seemed to want to torment and torture you as he specifically asked for you to serve him directly so you had to wake up early in the morning to be at his aid.

"Maybe I should have just let him kill me instead of agreeing to that Binding Vow..." "It's too late to back out now Y/n, I promise it's not that bad serving him." Uraume tried to comfort you but the face you made when he said that seemed to show the opposite effect, he simply resumed his ministrations before finally tying the red obijime completing the look, "I am sure you will get used to it." The white and rose haired man flashed a barely noticeable smile before his face went back to its original neutral façade, Hamako couldn't help but feel weirded out by the speed in which he did that.

With a sigh he pushed you out of the room which you were given and began to tell your confused self about what you may have to do as the direct servant of Sukuna, Jin who was also there waved goodbye to you and wished you good luck 'I will definitely need it!'."Whatever he wants you must immediately give it to him to the best of your ability, without questioning his orders." The two of you walked the rest of the way in silence twisting and turning through the large estate as he said no more, after entering one of the hallways you could tell that it was different from all the rest.

For one, the floor was made from obsidian rock and the walls where painted white and gold contrast to the other halls where the floors were wooden and the walls were painted red and black. Ornaments and expensive artifacts were placed by the walls and decorated the halls adding an air of elegance, everything was so clean that you hesitated to even walk through it. If it wasn't for Uraume's brusque wave for you to follow along you would have be confused for a statue by others. As you followed him through the exquisite hallway you couldn't help but feel an eerily disposition in the air, why was it that you hadn't seen a single soul within the estate____ which was really a temple with how it was built and how huge it was_____ surely it wasn't just Uraume and yourself.

Whilst lost in thought Uraume suddenly stopped in front of a door and nearly made your bump into him, with practiced movement he walked towards the intimidating light brown door which felt strange to see in an empire where people primarily used shoji doors unless it was a noble man's home. Uraume's rested his delicate touch on the golden door handles as he slightly turned his head to set his gaze upon you as he addressed you in his typically neutral tone once more, "Once we enter Sukuna-sama's room, I want you to immediately move towards the curtains and draw them and try-" he emphasised the word "-to dodge his attack when he is woken up from his slumber. Then I want you to quickly pore him a cup of water, got it?" The dual haired man didn't seem to wish to wait for your reply as he immediately pushed the doors open and went down two large steps, his feet light as always as you scrambled to catch up with him.

The violet man seemed to disappear into a shoji door that was tucked away in the furthest corner of the room, not sparing you a glance. You never knew you could move with the kind of speed you used but you did, not even sparing the room and it's magnificence any mind as you rushed towards the red thick velvety curtains that did a good job of obscuring the light from filtering in and disturbing the sleeping beast. Your hands grabbed the edge of both the curtains and simultaneously opened both of them, your eyes could help but widen at the view the curtains hide. Behind them was picturesque a balcony facing the view of the morning sky at the rising sun, the mountains seemed to be shrouded by mist from the morning dew as forests spanned for miles on end with the exception of the rather large village peeking through the vegetation.

You couldn't help but take in a sharp breath as your e/c eyes marvelled at the sight, if it wasn't for the fact your ear perked up at the sound of rustled sheets you would have continued to enjoy the view. Immediately after you shifted to the right narrowly dodging a ball of pure curse energy aimed for your back, turning your head you saw the crimson eyed man with his arm stretched as he let out a yawn showing of his impressive teeth and his tongue____ which bore a tattoo that seemed to be on every banner in this place. The attack left you in a state of shock as you quickly registered that the psychopathic man was slowly waking up, his dark blue silk sheets seemed to flow off his upper body as he slowly sat up whilst rubbing his crimson eyes with a childish annoyance in his facade.
