Chapter 14: A New Name And A New Beginning.
A full year had gone by, and the demon realm flourished under Itachi's leadership.
Yuki: "All the great lands are thriving, and the demon realm is prospering, all thanks to you, my lord."
Itachi blushed slightly and pretended not to be pleased with the compliment.
Yuki: "Today, my lord, we will be visiting an orphanage."
Itachi blinked twice and Shouts, "Whaaaaaaaat?"
"Shhhhhh," Yuki hushed him.
"Don't 'shhhhh' me, Yuki. Why do I need to go?" Itachi asked.
Yuki: "Because it's crucial for political reasons."
Itachi and Yuki arrived at the orphanage one by one.
"There's only one more orphanage left for us to visit, my lord," Yuki informed Itachi.
Itachi sighed and then dozed off for a few minutes.
Itachi and Yuki made their way to the last orphanage, and as they arrived, Itachi couldn't help but notice that this one looked less fancy compared to the others.
"I thought all the orphanages were fancy, Why does this one look like a ghost house?" Itachi asked Yuki.
"I don't know, my lord." Yuki replied.
They entered the orphanage, where the staff immediately bowed to them.
Jeffrey, the caretaker, spoke up, "My lord, my name is Jeffrey, and we need more funding for this orphanage."
"All the orphanages receive the same amount of funding, so why does this one need more than the others?"Yuki asked.
"Because we're robbed by thieves every day." Jeffrey explained.
Before he could continue, a young girl with black and white hair with red eyes, visibly malnourished, spoke up, accusing Jeffrey of misusing the funds
"And who might you be?"Itachi asked.
Jeffrey tried to dismiss her, but Itachi used his Sharingan to silence him.
Itachi then asked the young girl for her name, to which she replied, "I don't have a name, mister."
Itachi expressed his concern, saying, "I see, that's not good."
Yuki approach the young girl and asked her to share what was happening at the orphanage.
"They use our money to buy wine and spend it on women. We haven't eaten anything in a week." The young girl said.
Itachi glared angrily at Jeffrey, and silenced him using his Sharingan.
He ordered Yuki to have the children from this orphanage transferred to the others.
Yuki agreed and started making arrangements.
Itachi turned to Jeffrey and declared, "You will be executed tomorrow, along with your workers."
Jeffrey pleaded for mercy, but Itachi kicked him in the face.
Itachi then placed the young girl in the carriage, and they headed back to the demon palace.
"Are you alright?" Yuki asked.
"Yes, thank you." The young girl replied.
Yuki corrected her, saying, "You should thank Lord Itachi, not me."
"Why do you call him lord?" The girl asked.
"Because he's the demon king." The Yuki replied.
The girl was shocked and fainted due to her extreme hunger.
The young girl awoke in a lavish bed, immediately sitting up and asking, "Where am I?"
Itachi reassured her, saying, "You can calm down, kid. We're at an inn."
The girl's stomach growled, and she hid her face under one of the pillows.
Itachi grinned and said, "So, you're hungry."
Yuki entered the room with lots of food.
The girl exclaimed, "Food!"
Before she could eat, Itachi instructed her to take a shower, with Yuki assisting her. Afterward, Yuki dressed her in a black dress she had prepared.
"Thank you," the young girl said, expressing her gratitude.
She then sat at the table and began eating, tears streaming down her face.
Itachi, with a hint of sadness in his eyes, asked, "Hey kid, do you want to be my daughter?"
Yuki choked upon hearing his unexpected question.
The young girl stopped chewing and replied with a sincere, "Yes."
Itachi smiled and said, "Well then, eat up, my daughter."
The girl nodded and said, "Yes, mister."
The young girl finished her meal, Itachi then spoke up, saying, "We can't keep calling you 'young girl,' so how about I give you a name."
Yuki agreed, saying, "That's a good idea, my lord."
"I'm not good at naming things. So how about 'Pumpkin,' or 'Apple,' maybe 'May' or 'Mary'?" Itachi said.
Yuki became frustrated and responded, "Those are not good names fitting for a soon-to-be princess."
"How about 'Leona Uchiha'?" Itachi suggested.
The young girl's eyes lit up, "I love it! My new name is Leona Uchiha." She chuckled, clearly delighted with her new name.
Itachi smiled at her and said, "Leona, you are now a part of my family, and I will take care of you.
"Leona's eyes shimmered with appreciation, and she nodded, tears of joy in her eyes.
The next day, Leona woke up inside the carriage, rubbing her eyes and letting out a sleepy yawn. Yuki, who was with her, couldn't help but chuckle and commented, "You remind me of Lord Itachi."
Leona, still a bit groggy, asked, "Really?"
Yuki nodded with a fond smile, "Yes, really."
Knight: We've reached the Demon Kingdom.
Leona peeks out of the carriage window, spotting the immense castle. "Wow," she exclaimed.
Itachi gently ruffled her hair and spoke, "This will be your new home, Leona."
Yuki stepped out of the carriage and said, "I'll notify the Dark Priestess and the ministers about Leona's situation."
Itachi nodded, saying, "Alright, go ahead."
