Perfected Tempest

47. Walpurgis Begins

Guy's POV

Soon I'll be meeting this mysterious individual that everyone seems to know but me. First I need to convince Leon to come to Walpurgis. I have invited him to meet me in my castle for a discussion like we have once in a while. I hope he'll have some information to give me since both Mizary and Rain didn't give me any. The whole situation is starting to feel like a set up for something dangerous. Soon enough Leon entered the throne room.

Mizary- "Lord of Darkness, demon lord Guy Crimson we bear a message. Demon lord Leon Cromwell has arrived."

Guy- "Ah platinum devil demon lord Leon it's so good to see you my friend, or should I call you platinum saber?"

Leon- "Call me what you want."

Guy- "Have you been well? I appreciate you responding to my summons. You have my thanks." I then went in for a playful kiss. He of course refused.

Leon- "Stop! I told you, I'm not into that!"

Guy- "Ah ha ha. Still such a boring guy I see. If you want, I could take on the appearance of a woman and make love with you that way." I say playfully.

Leon- "No! That's not why I agreed to come here."

Guy- "Fine. Let's talk elsewhere then."

I then lead Leon to the only room in the castle with plant life. It's a room I picked to be a garden for my own tastes. It has constant light in it and is well maintained by my pawns. I often come here for talks with friends who visit. After we both sat down and had a drink of the tea that was brought to us by my maids we began the discussion.

Leon- "So why did you call for me to meet you?"

Guy- "As you know the Walpurgis banquet draws near and I want you there even if I have to force you to attend."

Leon- "It's unusual for you to force someone to attend like this."

Guy- "I'll make sure you show up even if I need to owe you in return. That's just how interesting this next one is growing to be."

After a slight toast we continue.

Leon- "Why is that?"

Guy- "As cautious as ever aren't you. Fine I'll explain." I then take a sip of my drink before I begin my explanation. "The one who proposed this Walpurgis is Clayman. He's a small fry. But for some reason Milim's name was among those three in agreement. She is one of the oldest and strongest demon lords along with me. She wouldn't do whatever a welp like Clayman wants for know reason. Which means........"

Leon- "Karrion's death seemed suspicious as well."

Guy- "So you do get why it's so odd too."

Leon- "Clayman's scheme went too far. He was harassing me in order to avoid leaving any evidence, but I can't let this slide. Whether Karrion is alive or not, the fact that Milim has taken actions is troubling."

Guy- "Milim might just think of this as another game to her, but disturbing the balance between the other demon lords won't bring fun times. It'll create more work for me."

Leon- "Do you think Clayman is manipulating Milim somehow?"

Guy- "Thinking about Milim won't do any good. Smart and clever people like myself can't comprehend the thoughts of a fools. It's one of my very few weaknesses. But if you're curious about that, you'll participate to then?"

Leon- "I intend to. I despise conspiracies but I have no other choice."

Guy- "Oh yeah? Glad to hear it. If you were reluctant I was going to offer to let you hold me throughout the night."
