As Muzan pondered the words of his friend, he got up from the throne and made his way to the somewhat large double doors and paused while turning to his friend.

As Balinor gazed at the empty throne in a moment of thought, as this would also be the night he accepts the deal of Muzan and drinks his blood, leading him to a life of eternity, he had many thoughts.

This is also a reason for the party, as he would leave behind his mortal life and become something new.

A Hybrid of both vampire and werewolf, and he can continue to slow down for once in his life and spend time with his daughter, who had been mostly neglected due to the constant duties of a King.

Balinor understood he was a good king but a horrible father.

Although Balinor tries to be a good one by his own means of trying to give as much of his own knowledge as he can to his daughter to better understand the cruelty of the reality called life including its many responsibilities that come with it.

that's why when the opportunity came up to study the different types of magic from other races, he never denied Merlin to go off and explore the world.

Giving one last glance at the throne that would be empty most of the time after today.

Balinor turned his head to his awaiting Demon friend, who just held one of the two doors open with a pair of black half - face masks in hand!.

As everyone will be wearing masks to this Masquerade ball party.

As Muzan handed one of the two masks to Balinor and both had walkout to the main hall of the castle.

The two guards stood by the entrance of the castle doors, they understood it was time and so the two doors were opened.

The crowd rushed into the castle as music started playing.

Muzan silently maneuver through the many people in masks as both him and Balinor had casted an invisibility spell that would allow them to blend into the many people looking for their own spots to get ready for the incoming storm of meeting and greeting.

During this time in the ongoing holy war, many people seem to have forgotten about it, including the transpired incident that had affected the kingdom.

Although there were a few who had suspected that the Kingdom had angered the Demon King and that was the reason for his voice and magical energy to be felt throughout the Kingdom, But that couldn't be far from the truth.

As Muzan became visible, many of the noblemen and women who had noticed him due to having a good relationship with their King, many of them had tried to marry off their daughters to him or simply asked about the state of the Kingdom and its future development forward.

Suddenly, Muzan noticed a familiar face in the crowd and couldn't help but smile outward at the unexpected sight.

Although Muzan didn't want to meet this person yet, so his eyes suddenly shifted around the room looking for a particular woman that he expected to show.

To Muzan expectation, he had found her, As Grayroad eyes were also shifting around in the crowd, but unexpectedly both of their gazes met at the same time.

Muzan decided to move forward, causing Grayroad to slightly stumble a bit out of surprise at the sudden approaching of the man she liked, or it could also be attributed to the high heels she was sporting.

As a Demon, Grayroad never really cared to wear such footwear as she would just wrap herself up in the Darkness and float about, but this was currently a different occasion.

As Muzan had appeared in front of Grayroad a slight blush could be seen on the faces of the both.

Balinor also had spotted the two in the distance while making small talk with those that have surrounded him, his eyes never left his friend as he was intrigued by his movements, but two unexpected people also caught his attention.

The two unexpected people were, of course, the people who Muzan noticed first, it was no one other than meliodas and elizabeth!.
