Not only that, he had been informed that the higher Demons were here to see him for some particular reasons, showing up unannounced and ruining his chance to speak with Azazel.

As always, they surrounded the long rectangular table that had chairs on each side and the air around them was relatively tense. None of the higher Demons said a word to the glacier as his strict gaze and sudden display of power has left them all speechless.

As far as they know, whenever they brought an issue before him, he somehow manages to ignore the problem and discards it like it had nothing to do with him, but currently, he showed an opposite behavior to that side of his.

Roshan carefully went through the file, his gaze raking over the paper and he didn’t need to lift his head up before knowing their gazes were concentrated on him.

“The temporary governor of old Town is planning to switch position.” One of the higher Demons began as his voice resonated audibly in the quiet chamber. “Since there has been a lack of adequate resources in Old town, he requests to be shifted to another region, your highness.”

The matter was brought forth before Roshan who found the request to be extremely silly.

“Shifted to another region?” He closed the file, “his job as the governor is to provide those needs to the people of old Town, not escape his duties since my father thought he was more experienced to put him in charge....”

“But your highness,” one of the higher Demons strongly interjected, “I think you should very much consider his option.”

.....

“And why should I do that? He can always come to the palace to ask for the necessaries which he never did, so why now?” Roshan was ready to hear justifying and reasonable comments from the Demon council, even Gravion whom he expected to challenge him was engrossed in a file he was studying.

The matter lasted for a pretty long time and Anna, who had been passing by countlessly due to some errands, was starting to worry that Roshan would have less time to get prepared for tonight.

The door was left ajar, making it possible for her to steal a peek at the handsome glacier who seemed to be handling the situation pretty well, and the look on his face remained stoic as he made his preference clear to the higher Demons sitting before him.

“The capital of old Town needs a new governor, and not some rat planning to escape from his responsibilities. It’s about time I make certain changes to my father’s rules which everyone must adhere to, unless they are ready to drop the position of being a higher Demon and getting out of here.”

His watchful gaze shifted from one higher Demon to another as they all remained uncomfortably shut, refusing to oppose his words and be stripped of their high positions.

When his gaze shifted to the door, he caught sight of Annalise peeping in his direction and her eyes widened the moment they locked their gaze.

Rosha perceived her sweet floral scent while in the middle of a conversation and he knew she was close by. Just as expected, the woman was actually right there, watching him with her big brown eyes.

Realizing she’s been spotted by the glacier as they locked gaze, Anna instantly flees from the door before she gets punished for eavesdropping.

“Your highness, is everything alright?” Asked one of the Demon’s who noticed his fixed gaze was on the door and he shook his head, taking a swallow as the deep urge to go over that woman slowly tried to overcome him.

He needed to stay focused at this time.

“Nothing is wrong,” he returned his attention to the higher Demons, “if that is settled, I’ll look into the capital of old Town myself, and then come with a conclusion at the end of it all, but I will need everyone’s suggestion during that time and a few who will volunteer to come with me to view the capital ourselves.”

There were whispers amongst the higher Demon as they contemplated his words, obviously stunned that he needed their suggestions too since his father was the type who ruled like an authoritarian.

“Very well.” Gravion responded after clearing his throat, “once his highness is sure of what to conclude on, he can count on us.”

“I’ll appreciate it then.”

“We’ll take our leave.”

The higher Demons rose to their feet, bowing their heads at the same time before departing from the chamber. Roshan indulged in a minute conversation with Gravion before he finally exited the chamber and once they were gone, Roshan remained in the chambers and tried to sort out the problem in the file.

Being the ruler of Viscarrian came with it’s responsibilities and that equally required his time and attention. He knew he wasn’t ready for any of this due to his own trauma back then, but now that he was able to picture the situation clearly, playing games was basically over.

They plan on crowning him after the family ball cause according to them, who is a king without a Queen?

Hours passed by exponentially and Anna who had been stalking around lately realized he hadn’t left the chamber yet. She has never seen him this busy before and the matter he appeared to be working on must be a serious one as he laid a map on the table.

“Is he ever going to come out of there?” She whispered to herself with a look of worry reflecting in her eyes. After making sure that the chamber he was in was really empty, she quietly stepped in to see what he was seriously working on and the guards who were positioned by his side made her stop in her steps.

Roshan lifted his gaze to look at the beautiful woman who chose to distract him with her presence and when he saw she wasn’t any steps forward, it took a while before he realized that his guards were limiting her from coming anywhere near him.

“Will you excuse us?” Came his order to the guards who bowed their heads in affirmation.

“No one is permitted to enter until I say otherwise.” He added, making the guards aware that they shouldn’t let anyone in before letting them exit the council chamber.

Once they shut the door behind him, Anna took another step towards Roshan who stretched out his hand for her.

“Come.”
