"I'd advise you to step back, unless you want to test your luck against someone far beyond your rank."
"What did you say?"
The Demon Earl grit his teeth so hard that one could even hear them cracking. He was about to flip out in anger when Simon said the following words.
"Why do you think I'm not on a mission from a high ranking demon?"…
"Why you ask? That's because…"
He didn't let the Demon earl finish and continued "It's because I'm a human?"
Looking down on humans was practically ingrained in every demon. Especially now during times of war, the hatred was at its peak. But Simon could see something more from Melkan in front of him.
It was insecurity, fear and unwillingness to accept that someone is superior to you. There are always bound to be idiots with overinflated egos but no substance to back it up, the demon Earl in front of him was one of them.
