[Kazuya practically sighed this, looking both wry and sympathetic. Of course, stuff like that always ended up dropping on some ordinary guy who wanted nothing to do with the whole situation - teenagers to be specific, which was always weird and kind of animeish, but hey.]
That sounds so troublesome. Though... I didn't think demons would actually go about it with a democratic vote. In my world, we settled the whole empty throne business by killing the competition.
[Which was, in its own way, very effective. No one could cry foul, because the opponents would be dead, and since Might Makes Right in the demon world, the victor would, of course, be the best man- er, demon for the job. Not to say that he liked that style of brutish politics, if only because having very powerful, angry demons chasing him with murderous intent had done nothing for his nerves, but it was a lot more simple than dragging a human in to vote on a leader.
But... wait a minute. Why William specifically? Once more, he was very ordinary. Kazuya's whole fiasco of getting dragged headfirst into messy demon politics had been because at the very base of his soul, he was a demon. He possessed a valid right to the throne, the same as the other Bels. William? William was 100% human, and it seemed totally bizarre that the demons - as well as casting a democratic vote of all things - would take a random, mediocre human's input on something so important]
But, why you specifically? Like, don't take offence or anything, but you don't scream "special". You're human, you're not possessed or magical, and you smell normal too. [He leaned in slightly, almost spilling his tea over his lap from the movement, his eyes narrowed at maximum squint] Maybe, you're like Naoya... you a reincarnation of somebody biblically important or something?
