*Listened to his grievances about being accosted she wanted him to get to the point all this formal jargain in his words was wasting time, sometimes she wondered if all people that could speak this well took so long to get to the point, perhaps this was an act? Should she act the part as a lady like queen no she wasn't a lady she would remain herself.*

`"I can answer your question young man after you answer my elder brothers question. However Wei you said one of the elders can give insight onto this man?"`

*She looked at wei then towards one of the elders for some advice she forgot which elder was the one that may know something of value about him she also would have a hard time figuring out if the man was lying seeing as he gave no verbal cues, monotone emotionally detached speak and no physical cues either.*
Steven
*Kept his head in a bowed respectful position as Wei approached him his eyes looked at the floor remaining collected and everything that's came forth after was calculated.*

`"My grievances have been expressed by my previous statements and as palace master has accepted responsibility there is no further grievance I must make."`

*Feeling the man get closer he remained with his head bowed, his heart rate remained the same no nervous sweat, no nervous blinking nothing to give away anything it would also appear his mana circuits had minimal activity as if he drew his power from something else besides mana but still similar to it, however albeit suppressed hidden behind the veil of his power.*

`"My sword would reach any who would pose a grave threat of injury or great bodily harm or death upon me, not one person in particular. My eyes forgive me if I am wrong have not forsaken me up until this point. There is no apathy, sympathy, kindness behind any of your eyes towards me as I'm but a stranger in your house."`

*Taking a breath he kept his head down not looking into his eyes remaining respectful knowing he must back track a little for his hasty action's.*

`"Given that I am but a stranger among powerful beings, it is only reasonable to assume my life is meaningless in the eyes of all within this chamber as I am not one you know, i am not apart of your family or friend's. With that in mind is why my hand has been placed near my sword, as someone who believes it is better to perish with a sword in hand then without this is the reason for my actions that you noticed palace master. I was injured through my shoulder by your young desciple. I am demon hunter as I told one of your elders before I was invited as a guest and warned to not attempt to harm any demon here or the great demon lord before me."`

*Which was true as a demon hunter it could be an instinctual reaction to reach for one's blade in the presence of a demon perhaps one he didn't notice himself*
Carla
*Elder Guang looked towards his young master, with a subtle yet reluctant nod he sighed deeply*

```"This young man seems to be a diamond in the rough. Driven and determined, however has astrayed from his original path, that is my insights on him, however I dare say Young Master's thoughts on this young man may be ill-justified"```

*Elder Guang said so without hesitation, however, he knew that he were to be punished having said so with such a display in attitude... At this point, Asius was one to be playing a mind game, a battle of wits and wisdom... Their Young Master had seen through this... Thus he knew the young master was already prepared to deal with him if necessary...*

```"That is all I wish to say, young master"```

*He said so, cupping his hands forward and bowing his head towards Wei Wuxian*
William
```"However astray one has gone from their path, their intentions are made true with observations and actions"```

*He said simply, side eyeing Elder Guang for a moment, then putting his attention back on Asius his eyes narrows, smiling gently as his listened to Asius' words*

```"You are not wrong we do not view you as a guest no longer, but a threat. However, that is due to you own doing and actions before us. Most guests here are treated with great importance and care, however, I will not tolerate a 'stranger' intending to draw their sword at me and my people, you are sorely mistaken."```

*The more Asius spoke the more he couldn't help it... He laughed as Asius was truly trying to play the ploy of a victim... It was obvious that Asius hadn't intended to converse, but to have a fight with words... Indeed shall he entertain such things, as Wei Wuxian is as sly as a fox with his woven words*

```"You are truly a funny young man... Ha... Ha... You aren't wrong in that sense, however, any danger is danger no matter how powerful or weak the foe may be. I would think a warrior such as yourself would understand. Do not try to use my Chief Disciple's doing's and confuse it with your true intentions, ha ha ha. Had I not known any better I would've believed your feign to innocence and truly been at your knees. Yet you were prepared to draw the sword against my Younger Sister Demon Hunter?"```

*Wei Wuxian shook his head and walked back up the steps to where the others were...*

```"If it were not for giving Elder Guang some face, this conversation would not be happening"```

*Side eyeing Asius, then back to Orestis*
Barbara
*Nodded to the elder as she looked towards wei and spoke*

`"I see but a diamond in the rough is to be determined I trust my brothers judgement over anything else he has not lead me astray yet so I will stand by whatever judgement he casts down."`

*As she heard the man before her boldly proclaim his stance as a demon hunter she narrowed her eyes as she became uncomfortable and on edge all her aura was released now at full power she was ready for a fight if she had known they brought a demon hunter to her throne not only that only a couple dozen feet from her she perhaps would have never ever let him near her she had some bad experiences with these kind of people with there titles and self righteousness they had unique sets of skills to put her at great disadvantages in combat even if they were weaker.*

`"Wei why was a demon hunter brought before me, I now understand why he moved his hand to his sword but... Forgive me for..."`

*She spoke in Weis head and told him to disarm the demon hunter and act as fast as he could she stood up but was also fast in a blitzing blur she was ontop of him her hand extended in a motion to grab the man's neck a precaution she had fear indeed of demon hunters a risk she didn't want around her she moved just in case he would try anything even though she knew Wei could handle it himself.*
Steven
`"How may I make amends for changing the status of being a guest to a threat."`

*He asked as he rose his head slowly to speak to them after Wei had slowly made his way back to orestis he understood wei's perspective he would have done the same as them but he also understood his own point of view this man was hard to get by indeed he was witty and intelligent like himself moves and counter moves on the verbal battle they had.*

`"I do understand palace master. As you understand my position it is an unfortunate, stance from the circumstances of one's environment and of learned behavior and personal experience of the world around with demon's and people."`

*He took a soft breath the man was leaving no breathing room for him to explain any further as a snake was creeping towards him ready to strike*

`"This young man was prepared to do so in sel..."`

*He felt something wrong he felt orestis overwhelming aura release it was suffocating as if it took the air out the room seeing orestis standing quickly from her chair and was bolting towards him at speeds he could barely comprehend his foot shifted lightning fast behind him as blood swirl around his feet began to form within less then half a second. The guard around him were in the process of drawing there swords. He calculated his abilities and which one to use as his hand was on the hilt of his sword he could get a strike off if he was fast enough*
William
*Wei Wuxian's eyes narrowed down at Asius as he had seen through Asius and his intentions...*

"How? You may ask the Queen of this nation..."

*As he was about to speak, he heard Orestis concern and then her apology? He looked to Asius while he spoke and raised a brow. Then chaos ensued as he widened his eyes... There he released and unfathomable power... The ground under them shook, as a large and overwhelming energy soon suffocated the room... Greater, its grandeur touching the heavens... His yin-yang qi was now visible... Fiery and flowing wildly... The pressure placed upon everyone, no matter their strength felt it. However to which degree it affected them was left up to their will and strength...5 swords has appeared from portals and flew aimed at Asius, pausing when they were mere centimeters away from touching his skin... If he acted, those same swords would pierce him*

"Put your weapons away... No will except me will draw their sword and act as the executioner..."

*His eyes were now a fiery white and black... The lotus was a bright white, while his iris' were turned black... A large qi image of eyes peered down upon them... As if a shadow of something were trying to appear with his call...*

"Elder Guang... You have one chance to save face and protect this young man... Be grateful for the Elder Guang having some kind of connection to you..."
Mildred
*With the sudden eruption of qi coming from Wei Wuxian, they immediately kneeled, one knee to the floor and one fist to the floor as well... They began to sweat, as Wei Wuxian was no longer joking around... No longer was he going to play the games of intellect...*
Barbara
*Had made it ontop of him she felt wei release his power her aura with his would bring nearly everyone in the room down to the ground, she didn't expect it to affect the elders but hoped it would slow the filthy demon hunters movements, her hand gripped the mans throat her hand reaching for his sword and unsheathing it and tossing it away towards her throne, but the sound of something happening could be heard the sword seared the flesh off her hands leaving bare flesh from just touching the blood sword, she held back the grimace of pain as she looked towards her hand seeing her flesh on it she looked to Wei then towards her guards, they had fallen to one knee each with swords in there hands they would put there weapons away and kept there heads bowed towards wei and orestis she took a deep breath as her hand was burning in ever more pain*

`"If he was able to get a sneak attack on me it would be devasting. I hope you understand young man for my actions to protect myself but you as a demon hunter should have disclosed that to me and came in here unarmed which would have prevented this."`

*She was shaken slightly to her core a failure of security but either way she felt wei would have protected her seeing as his swords were ready to pierce the boy if need be.*

`"I only acted like this brother from what I explained previously."`

*She hsd lifted him to his toes as he was barely touching the ground as she tightened her hand around his throat*

`"I won't execute him brother I trust your judgement."`

*She held him for a minute or two as he struggled against her hand choking before letting go and dropping him she did this to show him the disparity of there power that she and Wei could kill him at a moments notice if he tried anything she stepped back a few feet and looked down upon him with a cold expression.* 

`"Why would s demon hunter come here hm? Explain yourself boy did you come here with the intention of killing me? If you lie those words are your last"`
Steven
*Felt his sword come out his sheathe a few inches he was going to be faster then orestis but only by a little bit feeling the pressure of orestis and wei it took his breath away, he was going to the ground a bit as he felt his knees caving under the pressure but he managed to stay up his body shaking as this slowed his draw even more then he saw sword so close to his skin if he moved they would cut him he stayed his blade and then felt his neck grabbed his hand smacked away from his sword and then the sword drawn out and chucked away from him. He gasped for breath trying to breathe under this immense pressure from Wei and Orestis and being lifted up to where only his tips of his boots could touch the ground didn't help. His face started turning red as his hands gripped her arm it felt so strong she could rip his throat out, he was beat, she did this as a show of force to show her power, to show he wasn't in control of the field of strength or intellect as Wei had bested him and now he gasped for air this now brought a unique feeling a hint of fear that was growing inside him as he began to struggle increasingly more the longer he was held as she tightened her grip his eyes began to slowly close as the minute passed his eyes strained as he kept trying to gain footing then fell to the ground after she released him he hit the ground with a thud gasping for air on his knees before the two of them he crawled a bit as he heard Wei saying to be grateful for the elder. This he indeed was now, he didn't fully understand his position until now an ant amongst mountains he looked up at them as tears filled his eyes from being unable to breathe he tried to get air in but with there pressure it was hard.*

`"I can... I... Breathe..."`

*He clawed at the floor with his hands as he felt he was at there mercy he would look to orestis but now also knew she wasn't the one he needed to ask he had to ask palace master almost as if she wanted him to ask for mercy to yield.*

*His will was strong he didn't know if it was a ploy to break his will but it was either he yielded and let go of his pride in this very moment or die he lowered his head and gasped barely getting some air in*

`"P... Please..."`

*He bowed his head to Wei as he was on the ground holding his throat his face was turning slightly blue as he layed on his side then onto his stomach his head pressed against the floor*
Carla
"Young Master, I sincerely and deeply apologize for my faults... It is my fault for having trusted him with him being the savior of your son... I understand the consequences of my actions... I implore you to spare his life..."

*Elder Guang said hesitantly and defeated... He couldn't defend himself in this moment as no matter what, he should've understood... He sighed deeply*
William
"Xiao Ore, you have no need to apologize, however reflect upon this moment, as if he were a foe we couldn't suppress, we would've surely fallen. The matter of security wasn't on you... But Elder Guang..."

*He assured Orestis that her actions weren't wrong, however rash and abrupt. Wei Wuxian tapped the ground with his cane as his pressure and overwhelming presence disappeared, reverting back to his original baseline aura.*

"Let him go... Be thankful that you are my Son's savior and that Elder Guang is asking me to let you go, you owe him your life now and do not forget that for as long as you live"

*He said bluntly as he stood over Asius, his eyes looking down upon him, wide and his eyes filled with fiery yin-yang qi...*

"So why are you here? I know Elder Guang's invitation made it easier for you to enter, thus what is your intention?"
Barbara
*Sighed and waved her hand around as smoke rose from it she spoke to her royal guards and asked them to get a healer for her hand one of the guards were able to stand after wei released his aura and they went off with another guard, to get a healer. She had another guard come and wrap her hand in a white bandage for the meantime she closed that hand into a soft fist then let go as she looked down upon him with wei, she walked closer her as she knelt down to him as he was heaving in air she gently grabbed his face as she could use magic to restrain him but wei still had swords on him she lifted his head as she looked at his face that was blue but slowly regaining color moving slightly away so he could look at Wei and answer his questions.*

`"Thank you brother do you have any of those qi healing pills handy my hand is currently burning. I released his throat I won't kill him unless you allow it brother."` 

*She released her powerful aura as it became normal in the throne room again*
Steven
*Finally catches his breath slowly as the people in the room conversed he lowers his head to ground but looks up to see the swords were still pointing towards him any quick movements he assumed he may be pierced it may be best to stay in the ground disarmed, he felt his face being grabbed gently he closing his eyes in a slight flinch but couldn't pull away he wasn't being hurt, how surprising they could go from ready to kill to normal in a flip of a coin seeing the firey look within Weis eye's he pants slightly before speaking.*

`"I am a demon hunter, I hunt demons, a servant of the blood flame, I am bound to the flame to uphold my duties to kill demons, I was told this demon lord is different, so I came to see if it were true."`

*This was true but he still had a few things he didn't mention of why he was here this was not the only reason he was here he didn't lie the right questions needed to be asked he wouldn't talk about it unless it was in his face.*
