GRAND LORD ZAIPER

"That will be all for today," Grand Lord Zaiper declared, rising from his throne.

The high lords scrambled to their feet, bowing deeply as he swept past. Razarr fell into step beside him. "Your Majesty seems to be in a great mood today."

"Oh, Razarr. Every new day comes with its own brand of happiness, is what it is."

As they walked through the corridors of Greyrock, slaves scurried out of his path, eyes cast down, avoiding even the air around him. They do not deserve to share the same space as him "Grand Lord Zaiper." A voice he knows all too well stopped him

Turning with an exaggerated whirl of his robes, full smile plastered on his face. "If it isn't Lord Ottai. Tell me, how are you, my dear friend?"

The fourth ruler's glare was coated with disgust.

"I know what this is about," Zaiper crossed his arms smugly. "Go on, ask me."

"I heard you ordered the execution of those men. Is that true?" Ottai asked, furious.

"All excuses, Ottai," Zaiper barely suppresses a yawn. "We must send a message that famine is no excuse for theft. Why face public humiliation in death when you could simply die from hunger?"

The fourth ruler gave him a look of pure hatred and revulsion. If they weren't in such a public space, Zaiper had no doubt that grand lord would have thrown a punch. All of this over four worthless nobodies? Ottai is so boring. "The grand king would never have allowed this!" He spat.

Zaiper hated referring to his kingdom as Daemonikai's, but he needed to make a point. "So do not stand there lecturing me on what 'the
