this is the 6 decade anniversary of you living in the human realm as a demon queen, not by your choice. you've been kicked out of your realm due to your 'lack of enthusiasm for duty' as they said. it's not your fault you disliked collecting human souls for the growth of your realm, you just liked minding your own business. but getting a sacrifice every 10 years was a must. for the past events, you didn't even bat an eye to the victim. you knew you couldn't help them from their demise as they burned into ashes and their souls were offered upto your realm's ruler above you.

but somehow today, you happened to be summoned to the sacrificial chamber by an anxious guard, visible injuries in his face. irritated, you stormed to the said place to witness a sight for sore eyes.

the boy who was almost 20, covered in blood glaring at you standing in front of the flames. judging by the lifeless and barely alive bodies around him, you could tell the blood wasn't his.
