The Holy Shrine [MINI EVENT]

Arriving much earlier, the Demon Overlord of Darkness, better known as the Demon Traitor among his peers, was roaming the world of the Eastern Kingdom per invite to Ketsu Iramasha. Matthew, being partners with Ketsu, decided it would be best for him to come to this world, as only Matthew knew he was responsible for the New Queen being placed. A heavy burden on his consciousness would be deep, but this is Matthew. Life and Death happens, and even if Matthew was the leading pin that lead to the death of Misaiko Sugiura, he would feel just a tad guilty. But what has happened, happened. There was no changing the future now, and so to apologize to Ketsu, Matthew is going to make it up to his Partner by attending the Coronation, as when Matthew got news that the new Queen was a child, he knew the potential for bad things to happen was likely. Thus, due to Matthew's nature of Darkness, and being able to see the Hearts of others, he would be able to read if the intentions were true or not. It be best for Ketsu's half-sister to be protected under the potentials of bad men and women.

Having his casual cigarette in peace on the back side of the shrine, Matthew ignored all the commotion happening all around him, just reflecting upon the decisions of his past. How he corrupted Saeko into joining him as a Knight on his chess board, and she became effectuated with the thought of murdering her own Mother. How Saeko ended up falling to complete Darkness and succumbing to the hatred within her heart. And then, she performed the deed, killing her Mother and husband Leo Leonardo. Of course the details known as to how Saeko got corrupted no one knew other than Matthew, as when the two met, it was under private means within Saeko's own compound. Matthew honestly never believed she'd go through with it, as she ended up separating from Matthew a while ago, which would have quelled the Darkness within her, but little to Matthew's understanding, it actually grew. Due to Saeko's separation from Matthew, she ended up growing deeper and deeper into the corruption Matthew implanted into her, and she couldn't fight off the nightmares of her Mother's blood showering over her. Thus, after the countless nights of the goosebumps of believing she actually could, she finally took the gamble.

And now here we are. Matthew, in his casual attire of a black suit with red tie, was surprised of the changes that were capable of happening over time. What it ultimately meant to Matthew was that his power was growing, and that it's potential was still deeper than he thought. Of course, when you're a Demon Overlord and your power over Darkness is unmatched, it can prove that sometimes the rabbit hole is deeper than one thought.

As Matthew continued to work within his mind, enjoying his cigarette, he was disrupted by an immature demon nearby who seemed to not understand the rules of the realm they were in. Now, Matthew was not usually kind to his own species, as he has killed a majority of the Previous generation of Demon Lords, as well as slaughtered many other Demons who annoyed him. So would Matthew once again murder another one of his own kind this day? Truth was, no he wouldn't. Matthew is a strategic genius and diplomat, and thus he would follow the rules set by his host in which to cause no scenes of violence, and to be respectful to the land. Anyone who even roamed into the Eastern Kingdom could tell off the get go that this land was enchanted and unnatural. The land in the Eastern Kingdom held some sort of fae energy of some sort, and due to its unnatural auras, it was best to not meddle with the land till there was a better understanding.

Turning the corner from the Shrine, Matthew's eyes glowed red, as he analyzed the nearby individuals within the Shrine and instantly came upon the sight of a small demon who seemed to not have any idea on their power control. This kid already annoyed Matthew in their meddling, and thus it was time for Papa Matthew to discipline the kid. Walking over, Matthew just continued to smoke his cigarette and not look all that pleased with what was happening. He could also spot another interesting individual he'd wish to mess with, but Matthew needed to take things in moderation.

"Oi Kid. How about you stop acting like a fool and realize you're a guest in a land that Demons normally not tread in. Otherwise, you might find bigger fish will come to bite..."

Grinning, Matthew peered at the other Demon with his signature deadly gaze. This wasn't to strike fear, but to show he wasn't being playful. No, this was not the time to be playful, thus was a time of truce between all realms in which to attend a Coronation from one of the worlds previous great leaders. Now how the child would respond Matthew didn't know, but in the corner of his eyes, he kept his eye on someone he knew about, but he might not know about Matthew. Due to Matthew's vast intelligence and research on Organization leaders, Matthew knew quite well who ZaneFenier was. Now all that was left was the reactions of the two who were now in the same zone as the Overlord.

Matthew could feel the presence of the Goddess in which the Easter Sugiura pray to all the time, as if under her gaze. Matthew of course didn't want to disturb the Goddess in which protected the lands of the Sugiura, so Matthew planned on acting as if some sort of Ambassador instead. Matthew knew he was normally a natural enemy of the Sugi as a Demon, but one thing was that Ketsu Iramasha was practically raised by Misaiko, and due to that, Matthew was in a way a part of the Family, as if some sort of distant cousin. Even if he was the catalyst for Misako's death. Either way, none knew of Matthew's interaction with Saeko's corruption at all, and if peered into Matthew's mind, all that would be seen is a never ended shroud of Darkness, as Matthew's first layer of defense, is always the power that makes him who he is.
