#Hsr Duke Inferno x reader

[pix3lplays]

Duke Inferno is like an elegant yet cruel type. He will not punish you when you misbehave but will destroy a few civilizations to warn you never do it again.

Oooh okay intriguing take~

Cw! Yandere content, punishments, manipulation, humiliation

Elegant yet cruel is a good definition…

Ok so first of all I’m not sure I Entirely agree because he also seems like the sort of man who would leave you with burn scars if you decided you wanted to defy him but…also…

Him treating you like it’s YOUR fault he had to Destroy an entire civilization seems like it’d check out.

Sure act out all you want, maybe the annihilation gang’s next target will hit especially close to home for you.

Though maybe if you beg sweetly enough, and promise to behave he may change his mind. It’s humiliating and difficult, but it is possible to plead your way back into the Duke’s good graces-

He makes quite the example of what happens to those who defy him when you are quite literally on your hands and knees in front of him, pleading and begging for him to show some mercy.

duke inferno perishes before he and his children make it to penacony. you, his assistant, his one trusted aid after his many years traversing the universe in the name of destruction, remain alive. you, left alone after his assassination, without a purpose now. his children whisked you away as his last command. they soon left you behind after their father was nothing more than embers in the wind, promising to return eventually, their thirst for revenge overshadowing their father’s last wish. later, you discover that duke inferno left everything to you. his money, his followers, his prestige (though tarnished now as it is). everything his flames touched now rests in the palms of your hands. including, a glimmering necklace, a near identical twin to the monocle he wore. the only difference is the tiny blue flame trapped inside the glass.

I'm laughing so hard at the idea that Duke Inferno/Ifrit is like a Rapidash where it'll only burn you if it doesn't trust you, and because of course he trusts no one, everyone gets burned.

Except you, dear reader. And he doesn't like that. He found out by accident, and you hadn't been aware. Maybe you were serving him, panicked like everyone else, fixing fire-resistant clothing or polishing his horns (he'd make people do it under threat of death and then laugh when they get burned, I 100% believe he's a sadist).

So he might be cruel, keep you around to toy with as a pet, a "mild curiosity." But one he never lets get close to him after his discovery. He might suspect you're a spy or assassin. The more time passes, the less likely it seems, especially since you honestly show fear when he pops out of nowhere. And it keeps on like that.

Until one, fateful day, where he wants to see just how close he can really get. Maybe it's just to test you, see if you're like him, created perhaps but not knowing. So he can get more utility out of you (if you are like him). Was the Stellarion put inside you by a creator as fickle as his (it was hinted the genius society is responsible for the Duke). All those thoughts/considerations.

He has to see if it's a fluke. I don't know if he'd terrorize you and blindfold you while he experiments, like hey can you touch his face (you'd only feel something akin to smooth metal)? Can you touch the flames on his neck (they'd feel soft to you, some energy pushback but like the surface of water)? What ARE you?? And you wouldn't know what you're touching, until it hurts (I think he might hold a heated pad to you and turn it up until you're uncomfortable just to see if you're only resistant to HIS energy or if it's all heat transference).

I can't imagine his reaction when he realizes it's just because some part of him feels something other than disdain for you.

It's trust. Not trust as in "I know you're too weak to do anything," but instead "I know you on a deeper level and I don't know how else to describe it." It would baffle him, I think. And it might be awhile before he figures out what to do with you!

Cw! Power-imbalance, sadist Duke Inferno, pet human dynamic, physical abuse (burning reader)

Ooooh okay Delightful…

Duke Inferno is a Rapidash oh my gosh I love that take you’re so right-

And yes sadist Duke Inferno is something I will push. It would suck to be his personal assistant before he realized he actually liked you.

You’re getting burned ALL THE TIME, and he’s SO mean too…he sees those quaint little fireproof gloves you bought for yourself and he banned you from wearing them.

His little pet human…you wonder what the heck he gets out of leaving your hands and lower arms all burned and blistered but he gets some sort of sick satisfaction from hurting you.

Sorry I’m a bit off topic going with this whole personal assistant route but…the first time you touch him and it doesn’t burn you?? The way you both don’t even know what to think. You have no idea he doesn’t burn people he trusts, so what the heck are you supposed to think??

But he knows to an extent, it’s just never happened to him until now. Yeah, this requires some experimentation.

The thought of him actually trusting you disturbs him so badly that he’d rather experiment on you instead of just accepting that he might trust you.

I think he’d be. Pretty mad when it dawns on him that he literally just trusts you and therefore can’t hurt you so easily and entertainingly anymore.

He won’t tell you why he’s unable to burn you now but you’re certainly not complaining. You can actually straighten his clothes or polish his horns without worrying about getting Literally BURNED with FIRE.

You don’t say anything about it. You don’t want to upset him, and you’re smart enough to know mentioning it will make him mad.

He’s not stupid though. He knows you’re wondering. But he’s not going to give you the satisfaction of telling you.

It’s so confusing because like you said he literally doesn’t know how to handle it or what to do with you. He takes away some of your privileges in the mansion. And then gives them back and adds privileges. You’re like literally WHAT is going on.

Maybe it somehow comes up while you’re dealing with his kids and they explain it to you.

Literally what are you supposed to do with that information?? You can’t bring it up to him. He’ll get MAD.

So you’re just constantly dancing around it when you’re with him, avoiding any mention of it, pretending you don’t even notice he’s not able to hurt you anymore.

You’re always by his side now, not really having a clue that he’s constantly just keeping an eye on you.

Maybe he becomes a little protective over you in a way.

He’s the only one who’s allowed to treat you poorly. Anyone else treats you badly? No one will find their body.

Alright I’ve ran out of things to say but yeah.

I did see One person saying something so I guess it’s my turn um…

HEAR ME OUT-

The Annihilation Gang though…

Like Constance, Caterina, and Akash…yeah. YEAH very attractive I get it-

But Duke Inferno himself???? HELLO??? SIR??? The voice the presence the outfit the EVERYTHING LIKE- I KNOW I’m not the only one-

Sure you’d have to deal with his four kids-

Sure marrying into a cult that doubles as a gang is probably a TERRIBLE idea like um yeah you’re Never getting out of that-

Sure that family would probably do something wild like try to…idk sacrifice you to Nanook or something but I’m just SAYING-

I don’t know, I think I would haha.

I would willingly be the spark that ignites the Duke Inferno x reader tag, let that say what it will about me…

But yeah I know I can’t be the only one…

I like the idea of an Duke inferno/Ifrit and a reader who, in principle, does not follow the path of any of the Aeons, but nevertheless respects the "work" and faith that he puts into all these destructions, bringing them to the level of staging a theatrical performance (I just really like this whole topic with conducting and aristocracy in the description of relics).

And if we assume that the reader is some kind of not too honest scientist who is in a business relationship with Ifrit or something like that, they sometimes meet to talk about the eternal against the background of another burning planet.

It seems funny to me that if their conversation had turned to faith again, the reader would have said that the only Aeon he would have followed could have been an Ifrit (yes, it probably sounds very strange, but I like the concept of such an interaction).

Cw: I didn’t exactly know how to interpret a dishonest scientist so one interpretation is Reader is just straight-up evil. Like using weapons of mass destruction evil

I went through and read the description of the Duke’s relics again for this and…ugh they’re so interesting…

And I’m very intrigued by the idea of a dishonest scientist in a business relationship with the Duke…what does Dishonest exactly mean? As in a scientist who uses cruel and unusual methods and is dishonest about it? Or fabricates research and discoveries?? Either way I could see how they could work with someone like Duke Inferno. It could very well be a symbiotic relationship.

He’s conquering a planet…you can test out your weapons of mass destruction in the process. You both benefit. You get your research, he gets sweet, sweet annihilation. Or if you lean less towards violence and more towards just dishonesty, you can steal whatever research you want from the planet under attack, may as well anyways, considering everything else will be destroyed. He sponsors you, and you in turn spread the message of Destruction. Doesn’t matter if you don’t believe in it…as long as you’re promoting it.

And to address that last part…I’m trying to determine how he would feel about such a statement. Pride, I’m sure. But maybe disappointment too, because you will never truly walk the path of Destruction…Ah well…as long as your relationship with each other benefits him he will keep you around. Maybe you’ll eventually come to see the true benefits of the path of Destruction…

The two of you just work. After all, as long as the Duke pays the right price, you’ll do whatever in the name of Destruction.
