The King new exactly what he was doing, as the Royals wanted to hold a big banquet tonight. She wasn't sure if the King only wanted to show her off to everybody, or if he gifted her the hairpin, so she would feel special on her birthday. Yomi shook her head to the latter - why would the King even care about her really? She was surely just a show-off. While she was deep in thoughts she could feel the Kings breath against her neck, while he still had her ponytail in his firm grasp. „Go to Selene, she will give you one of her dresses for tonight... I want you to look flawless - you wouldn't want to embarrass your King in front of everybody, now do you my little Succubus?" He knew exactly how to use his words. The King sounded soft, yet by the word chosen and how he emphasised certain words, Yomi knew exactly what he tried to say. With a firm push, he discharged her from his lap.
With a rather sad look, she turned towards him - her head low. She felt like the King was in a bad mood, and she didn't want to anger him by breaking a rule. „I have important things to do..", he said, waving at her - kind of shooing her away. „Yes, your majesty.", the young Succubus muttered, before she gave a low bow and eventually left the room, shutting the door behind her. In moments like this especially, Yomi wondered if she would've been better off back then, if the King hadn't bought her. What happened that he became so cold towards her and even Selene? The woman who gave everything to raise the King, after his parents were brutally murdered by one of the Shinigami kings.
Just as she wanted to turn the corner she was greeted by Jack, Selene's personal knight - a werewolf. Yomi tilted her head and was slightly confused when he seemed to walk directly towards her. „It's your birthday right? Selene sent me and said I could be nice for once." She mumbled, sounding so annoyed to even talk to her. He handed her a fresh red rose from the garden, and tried to smile at her. „Well, I appreciate her effort, but really you don't have to feel obligated... it's just the day I was born, so nothing special." Yomi took the flower and smelled on it, before she smiled. „Thank you still.. Are you and Selene joining tonight's banquet too?" She then asked, trying to start a conversation with the rather monotone and cold werewolf. Jack simply gave her a nod, before bowing. „I've got duties to fulfil." As quick as he appeared, he also disappeared again.
Yomi sighed, and decided to go to her room, where she would put the rose into a vase together with some wilted roses. Walking to the big mirror she looked at herself, especially at her demonic features she only developed about two years ago. A knock on the door let her look over, as Selene opened the door just slightly. „I got the dress for you, that the King requested, may I come in?" Yomi walked to the door and opened it fully. „You know that you can always just walk in, Selene." She chuckled, before she looked to the dress. It wasn't Selenes usual purple Color, no - It was blood red with black lace trims. „D-Did you make this yourself? For me?" She asked and tears begun to swell in her eyes. „Well, the king said to look flawless, so you need a fitting dress for you... Can't let you walk around wearing the wrong color.. Now put it on, so I can see if there's adjustments that need to be done." And with that the reached the dress into Yomi's direction.
