Floating some distance away from Adrian, Damian remained seated lazily upon his throne while Rin stood near the armrest with its tails swaying behind it. Their voices stayed low enough that even with demonic hearing, the possessed man could not make out their words. Damian's gaze remained fixed on Adrian the entire time while his expression grew more thoughtful.
"Clearly he's not one of the bounty hunters looking to claim my head," Damian said quietly while tapping the armrest with his fingers. "But I don't think we gave him a very good impression. One wrong report and we become a threat to all demons."
Rin nodded slowly.

This was observation, nothing more. The Duke wanted information. He wanted to understand what kind of prince Damian had become and that changed everything.
