as Shaiapouf looked down upon the human Meruem had allowed to stay in the palace, he thought to himself as to why. It wasn't normal of the King to show sympathy towards others, especially humans. You and that other brat were changing him, and he didn't like it one bit. You were getting in the way of the King becoming who he was meant to be. This wasn't good at all.

"You there..." He spoke, moving towards you in a somewhat hostile feeling manner. "there was a reason for that other girl to stay, but not you... how are you special?"

in truth, he was very perplexed about the whole situation. He wasn't sure if he really wanted to ask you instead of the king, but he'd probably just get thrown across the room if he did. That wouldn't help his confusion, so he had no choice but to ask you.
