Rouge POV:
Some time later after the events of Gris and Verts fight, a tall man, with blood red eyes, long spiky red hair that reaches his waist and an open jacket like clothing that reveals his very muscular chest, is found to be sitting on his throne.
A nervous Arch-Daemon, just like Gris, this Arch-Daemon is currently Rouges only one, that serves more like a dispensable pawn than a loyal subordinate, just like his view of the other Primordials, he sees even them as mere dependents or pieces on his board and no threat to him and his self-proclaimed rule of Hell.
The daemon still kneeling speaks "Your Majesty, I have gotten news that the Primordial Green, Lady Vert, has lost in combat against His Lordship, Gris. He made her bend the knee and serve him, which she has seemingly accepted. She is now serving his as one of his close subordinates and her territory which was east of Lord Gris's is now under his control." After the daemon finished, he nervously gulped, appearing to be apprehensive of how his king will react.
Unbeknownst to the daemon, Rouge seemed just as relaxed as before, with his legs crossed and his chin resting on his hand, speaking aloud, seemingly to no one. "Interesting, Gris. I knew you would be trouble after our first meeting, but this, I did not expect. Trying to go against me so openly and challenge my rule?" An overconfident, prideful expression, almost smug-like appears on his face "Very bold indeed. I like that! Haha, lets hope you can live up to my expectations and maybe I will have a rival in this boring place." He then leaned back before closing his eyes seemingly lost in his thoughts, as he then goes on to say firmly to the daemon still kneeling "Get eyes on Gris, I want to know his moves, I need to plan counter measures, leave me." The daemon seems to jump to its feet before heading off to fulfil Rouges orders.

Vert POV:
It has only been a few weeks since I lost to master, since then I have been tasked with integrating my territory into his along with some other menial tasks, which I have tried to achieve with the best possible results, I am not someone that takes half-measures or is lazy. However, if I was being honest with myself, I am trying so hard because I want to show him my devotion and maybe get some reaction from him, I already knew from rumours he was indifferent and almost devoid of any emotion, but seeing it first-hand is different, at least when we fought it seemed like he enjoyed it? Or maybe that was for a different reason? I do not know, and that is the difficult thing about him, he is an enigma, one that will take me a few centuries to figure out most likely.
I will not let that discourage me from doing my best for him though! I am currently heading to his throne room for a meeting, as I make my way there I run into... that psycho lowborn, Kali. She seems like a warm and gentle daemon, even sweet if you didn't know the 'true' her, which is quite paradoxical considering our nature as daemons, however, when she is around women like me who are close to him, well only me considering I am the only other woman except her that sees master, she seems to radiate an energy that screams 'I will kill you!'
When master first brought us together and introduced us, and said that we need to get along as we will be working together, I was shocked to sense hostility, me a primordial being shown hostility by a lesser, a lowborn? I would not let that slide, I may project a lot considering I am slightly shy in nature, but considering master said that I will be in charge of his subordinates going forward, I naturally had to put her in her place to ensure respect and obedience. Master just watched devoid of any reaction as I used my Daemon Haki to drive her face first into the ground. Since that day, she listens to my commands and carries them out, albeit reluctantly, and that is only because master told her too, even after asserting my dominance and power she was still hostile, hence why I call her psycho and if I was being honest, she is quite like me, she takes her duties seriously, in other words, responsible. Which would be a great asset if she and I were not so opposed all the time.
Anyway, I sharply look over to her with my signature dedicated expression and projected aloofness. As we both approach the doors to the throne room, she returns my look with a death stare, if looks could kill, then I would be dead. "How many times, psycho, have some professionalism, otherwise I will tell master!" I reprimanded. She then calms down before saying with a fake smile "I am not 'psycho,' my name is Kali, unlike you, master named me." She then turned her head and huffed triumphantly, I sighed, every time she brings it up, master already told me he will name me once he heads to the central world, and yet she will hold this over me for a millennia, fucking crazy bitch, I thought, I would never say it out loud, I would not want master thinking I was unserious or not fit to lead for him and unfortunately getting along with her is apart of my duties, even if she is a psycho...
"We are about to meet master, he does not like unnecessarily speaking and communication, he wants a concise report, do not trouble him." I then push the large double doors as I hear her mumble "Of course I know that, I have served him longer!"
I simply shake my head, this psycho will never learn, I thought.
