Zhihao stood up but didn't dare look at the man again, and instead, he stared at the pit of fire that was between the stairs and the table on which Hasumi was placed.
Doji stepped forward and did the same as Zhihao but he didn't wait for a voice to tell him to stand up, because if he did, he would have remained kneeling forever.
This king was partial towards his sons. Everyone knew that Taki was his favorite and Doji couldn't even hold a candle against him, but this didn't stop the unfavoured son from trying to curry favors.
"We should start already. It's already late." Doji spoke up and one of the demons who was standing by the side stepped forward.
This demon looked way older than Doji and Taki. Demons don't age normally, Taki and Doji looked like twenty-year-olds, but were way older than a century. The man in front looked to be around his forties, but if his real age was revealed, Zhihao would have been shocked to death.
