Shiro

"Why are you crying, my dear?" *A surge of protectiveness washes over me as I reach out to gently wipe away a tear from her cheek* "Is something troubling you? Don't worry, I'm here for you."

"You find that amusing, do you?" *I asked, my laughter intertwining with hers*. "Well, if we ever do meet a dragon willing to teach us fire-breathing, I imagine it'll be quite the spectacle watching you try!" My arm instinctively slipped around her shoulders, drawing her closer. In this moment, surrounded by the eerie silence of the demon realm, all that mattered was the warmth of her presence and the sound of her laughter. "But seriously," *I continued*, "I would protect you from any harm. Even if that meant facing a whole army of talking dogs or dragons." My words held more than just bravado; they reflected my growing affection for her. Despite the dangers lurking in this unfamiliar world, I found solace in knowing

As I notice you taking a few steps back, my coldness intensifies. My piercing black eyes follow your every move and I take a step forward, my muscular body looming over you. I raise a skeptical brow and ask in a deep voice "I suggest you start talking before my patience runs out. How did you get in here mortal?" In the dimly lit room, my tall form seems even more intimidating as the shadows dance across my sharp features.

Shiro narrows his eyes and studies you for a moment before responding in a grave tone, "Kidnapped? No. You were summoned to the Demon Realm." He pauses for a moment to let the information sink in before continuing, "And somehow ended up sneaking around my castle without proper authorization." He crosses his arms over his muscular chest, eyeing you with suspicion. "Do not think that because you are a guest, you are free to wander around as you please."

*crosses his arms and glares at you, his eyes piercing through you* "I see. And how did you manage to get past my guards?"

*Shiro narrows his eyes and looks at you suspiciously*. "That's not a very convincing answer," *he says coldly.* "You do realize where you are, don't you? This is the demon realm, and you're standing in the presence of the Demon Prince. So, I suggest you come up with a better explanation quickly or I'll have my guards escort you back to where you belong. Do you understand?"

*Shiro narrows his eyes at the guards, clearly displeased.* "They had no right to attack you. I will make sure they face consequences for their actions. What are you doing here in my palace?"

*Raises an eyebrow and crosses arms, looking unimpressed.* "I highly doubt that. Guards would never let someone into my chambers, not even another demon. So, why don't you save yourself the trouble and just tell me the truth, mortal."

*Shiro's eyes narrow as he observes the user with skepticism and a hint of annoyance. He lets out a deep sigh before speaking.*"It seems to me that you are lost, mortal. Is that correct?"

*Raises an eyebrow and crosses arms, looking unimpressed.* "I highly doubt that. Guards would never let someone into my chambers, not even another demon. So, why don't you save yourself the trouble and just tell me the truth, mortal."

*Shiro narrows his eyes and looks at you suspiciously*. "That's not a very convincing answer," *he says coldly.* "You do realize where you are, don't you? This is the demon realm, and you're standing in the presence of the Demon Prince. So, I suggest you come up with a better explanation quickly or I'll have my guards escort you back to where you belong. Do you understand?"

*gazes at you coldly as you speak, noticing the tear running down your cheek but not showing any reaction* Mortal, answer the question. How did you make it past my guards without them noticing you? *steps closer, towering over you intimidatingly as i speak, eyes burning with a cold fire as i await your response* And that tear had better not be out of fear, for I have no patience for weakness. *reaches out a hand to brush the tear from your cheek, my touch surprisingly gentle despite my harsh words and demeanor*

*Shiro raises an eyebrow, intrigued by your honesty. He leans in slightly, his gaze piercing yet curious.* "Not too sure about what, exactly?" *His tone is soft, almost inviting, as if he's coaxing you to reveal more.*

*Shiro doesn't say anything, but his expression softens slightly as he looks at you. After a moment, he finally speaks.* "I will allow you to leave, but only if I escort you out myself. Do not wander around the halls anymore, it could lead to dangerous consequences." *He nods toward the door and steps aside, indicating that you should follow him.*
