It's been a while since "Violet" told everyone to take a break, almost 2 hours ago.
But the sudden voice of Violet surprised them
"I would like to announce that the break is over, have you all enjoyed your break?"
"Yes miss Violet, the break was delightful." Allethea said smiling, in this break she was able to have tea with her uncle and brother together. It was the first time in a long while, her uncle the emperor was always busy, so they rarely had any time to have tea and talk with her uncle and brother together.
She was so happy, so was her brother who was able to see his little sister so happy like that.
Cruel who saw that scene unfold In front of him, a small smile formed on his face. the two sibling once again reminded him of him and his little brother when they were little children.
He couldn't help but smile...at how things turned out to be for him and his brother.. and how pathetic he was to let things turn out the way they did..
"Yes, it was very nice. I would to thank you for that miss Violet." Elpidius wanted to thank Violet for the opportunity she gave to them.
"You're welcome your highness. then, let's continue the reaction."
________________
'I'm feeling so upset right now...'
"AH! LORD ARUT!" A demon shouted, he was surprised to see Deon walking with an expression that says 'get out of my way or i will kill you!'
'I lost my chance to get an enjoyable rest because the demon king summoned me!'
'He's the one who asked me to rest, so why is he now calling for a meeting all of a sudden?!' Deon didn't understand what the demon king was thinking, why would he call him form his most wanted rest for a meeting?! and to a corps commanders meeting in top of it?!
"Is he feeling better now?"
"Shh! He seems to be angry due to the sudden summons..."
Deon, who heard them sighed and thought 'f*ck, I need to maintain my expression...'
________________
"..I didn't know sir Arut didn't like to attend our meeting...more like hate" Devilania, the 2nd corps commander voiced her thought. well, now that she thought about it, she doesn't even know what Deon like or dislike...
"Well, sir Arut did say that It's troublesome, but in the end he still attend every single time" Oelle the 5th corps commander said as she got an idea. "Maybe he's a tsunder-" before she could continue that sentence her corps vice commander, Dernivan covered her mouth with his hand.
"Lady Oelle, this isn't the right place not time to say such things."
"mmph? (really?)" he nodded as he took his hand off from her mouth. the other corps commanders sweatdropped at this, they didn't know what would sir Arut do if he heard that. Well, they could guess...
In the other side of the room, the nobles were visibly terrified because of Deon. they all heard of how vicious he is, but this is the first time they ever saw him angry..
Dan, who was seated back next to Ran smiled while covering his mouth 'so this is the disaster i have been waiting for?' Ran also thought the same thing but a bit differently 'Is he perhaps...the disaster grandmother warned me about?' she frowned as she looked at Dan, a small blush has formed on his cheeks...she really didn't want the two of them to meet or whatever the h*ck this is...
________________
"AH...!"
"L-LORD ARUT!!"
"Open the door."
"Last but not least, we have the zero corps commander joining us!" The demon king welcomed Deon in to the meeting room. "You're here Arut."
'What...what is up with this atmosphere?!' Deon thought that the atmosphere was so suffocating..
"You should sit next to the demon king." Jaykar said as he looked at Deon
'He seems weak, no matter how i look at him. I can't believe he's so strong. I'd love to fight him' Asild the 3rd corps commander thought.
"Is accomplishing an objective any Excuse to be late?-" slap
"WHAT THE H*LL?!"
"shut up. I'm sure he's got his reasons." The 4th corps commander Edellia slapped the arm of the 6th Velitan.
'How dare that block of muscle disrespect sir Arut?! How impudent!' Ririnell thought as she glared at Velitan.
"Arut, are you alright?"
"Yes, your majesty...my apologies for being late."
"Don't worry about that, It's not like you were late on purpose."
"... ..." Deon didn't answer that because he knew that it was wrong...
'I was late on purpose because I didn't want to come, though...'
________________
"HAHAHAHAHA" Caver burst out laughing. 'So this is Arut's thoughts? he's even more interesting than i thought, I just can't seem to get enough of you Arut...' The demon king was amused to say the least, who would dare to be late on purpose when the demon king is calling for you?
the corps commanders and demons were surprised by their king, suddenly laughing out of nowhere... then the demons started whispering
"Shouldn't his majesty be angry at sir Arut?..."
"Maybe sir Arut didn't mean it like that."
"What did you expect? It's sir Arut after all..."
"But still...his majesty must really like sir Arut"
Eduardo was also surprised by that 'How bold of you Deon...' He didn't expect Deon to act like that, since he always followed his orders perfectly. or maybe he was like this only with the demon king? that thought made Eduardo smile.
"Your majesty, I'm sure sir Arut didn't mean to disrespect you or anything like that" Ed started defending his commander after he heard the demons gossip. "sir Arut must have been tired, that's must be why he was a little late your majesty..."
The demon king glanced at Ed then smiled "It's fine, just go back to your seat and let's continue."
"Yes your majesty" Ed smiled and went back to his seat.
________________
"Lord Arut. I'll pour you a drink." A servant said to Deon as he poured him Alcohol.
'I- It's here!!' he was so happy, this was one f the advantages he get to have when he attend meeting in the Demonic Realm. now he can drink to his heart's desire.
'Hmm?...this isn't Alcohol...'
"It's...grape juice?" Deon expression darken. Is this a joke? Is he some kind of child to give him Juice instead of Alcohol? saying that he was furious was an understatement...
The corps commanders flinched, even the demon king sweatdropped by Deon's reaction. He just didn't want Arut to get drunk in the middle of the meeting.
"...It seems that you all are having Alcohol though." he was very angry at this, they're discriminating against him?!
"Stop it- Arut, I ordered them to do this." Caver sighed, he was tired of Deon and his love for Alcohol...
"Why am i the only one..."
"Do you really not know?" This was making Deon more irritated, was it not Discrimination against humans...?
"Now, now. hear me out before you get angry, Because you're the reason i called for this meeting." The demon king tired to calm down Deon, but he actually made it worse.
________________
It surprised everyone how Deon reacted to getting grape juice instead of alcohol.
But it did make Cruel worried about his little brother 'when did he start drinking alcohol...? He seems to love it so much, but that isn't good for his body or his health...'
'It seems like he still has that addiction to alcohol.. well that's to be expected, he has been drinking since the age of 14' Nemeseus thought as he shook his head.
The corps commanders sweatdropped, It seems like their sir Arut has no idea about his drunken habits...
As for the Eduardo, he was focused on the reaction. 'this is going to be very useful, Deon doesn't usually talk unless I ask him about something..' Eduardo thought that reacting to this meeting will get him important information that might help him plan for that...
________________
"6th corps commander, share the details of the document that you submitted to me." the demon king turned to Velitan to start the meeting.
"YES, MY LORD! Although the 12th corps has been protecting the village so far, there was a sharp, abrupt increase in their numbers. The 12th corps can no longer handle them." he added.
"After the demonic monsters destroyed half of the small village, we evacuated the remaining residents to a big city with fortress walls." pictures start showing of the destroyed village..
"However, we don't know when that place will be ambushed, so we need more reinforcements to hunt the demonic monsters down."
"I was wondering why the 12th wasn't around, Did he get killed?"
"By mere demonic monsters?"
"Watch what you say. Even mere demonic monsters can become a formidable foe if they band up together."
"BUT THEY'RE JUST FAILED PRODUCTS, AREN'T THEY?!"
'They're making a huge ruckus, but i can understand their surprise though.' Deon thought as he remembered...
________________
"What?" a noble whispered
"What do they mean by a 'failed product'? " another noble wondered
"I thought that all Demonic monsters are controlled by the demons?"
"I too thought so, isn't that why they attack the villages close to the border?"
"Wait, did you hear that too? about the 12th corps commander?"
"Yes! did he really get killed by monsters?"
The emperor frowned at this 'Why didn't Deon tell me about this information? or will he tell me about it in the future?' he wasn't convinced with that, since he seems to know something already...
meanwhile the corps commanders were focusing on the black box.
"So It's true that we're reacting to the future" Velitan said to Caver, before he was teleported (kidnapped) to here, he submitted that document to the demon king.
"I agree, the more we watch the more I seem to believe what she said." Jaykar and the other thought so too, but the downside of this is that the humans are gaining more information about the demonic realm...but because they reacting to sir Arut, doesn't that mean they'll also gain information about the human realm?
________________
'Demonic monsters'
Among the demons that the Demon king created, they're senseless beings that are loyal only to their instincts and desires.
They are 'Failed Products'.
'I can't believe that 12th lost to these demonic monsters...but what has that got to do with me?' Deon thought that he was unrelated to this problem...unless
"We are at war everyday because there are too many demonic monsters. we don't know the reason for their sharp increase in numbers..."
"...The now deceased hero used to kill those monsters. It's no surprise that he got killed when they gathered and charged at the village." Caver said as Deon flinched at the mention of Cassius the past hero...
Silence....
"Ah, the hero..."
"...Lord Arut was the one who killed the hero..."
'...Are they going to #$?! me using that as an excuse?! BUT, IN THE FIRST PLACE-'
'I never killed the hero!!' Deon thought that this was unfair, since he didn't even kill the hero and more importantly, the demon king's the one who tried to kill the hero in the first place. If anyone was responsible, it was him!!
'DEMON KING, SAY SOMETHING!' Deon glared angrily at the demon king, but the demon king once again misunderstood Deon's thoughts.
'!! those eyes...i knew it..'
"Don't worry. the zero corps shall be dispatched as reinforcements."
________________
"Ahem" the demon king coughed, he was embarrassed by how badly he has always misunderstood his Arut...but who would blame him? it's very easy to misunderstand Arut because of his expressionless face, right..?
Dame Lianne sweatdropped at how no one seems to understand Count Hart. ever she herself misunderstand him sometimes...
After Eduardo heard Deon's explanation about the 'Failed Products' he thought 'They're failed products because they don't follow the demon king's orders? interesting...'
"Does that mean we would get to see sir Arut fight?!" Ririnell ignored Caver and seemed so excited to finally get to see sir Arut fight! that made Asild and the demons excited as well, since Asild has always wanted to fight Arut so this was perfect.
"Yes, It seems like it." Jaykar seemed relived that the topic has changed from the demon king to sir Arut fighting.
