As silence filled the room, no one dared to make a noise.

The atmosphere was very intense, between the demon king's between his suffocating aura and Cruel intense glare.

"Cruel. calm down." Duke Illuster was the first to break the silence, 'I don't understand...why is he angry..?' Illuster wondered if it was because they all watched his brother in his most pathetic state or is it because he hated seeing his brother's face in the first place...

Cruel turned to look at the duke, he wanted to ask him how dare he tell him to calm down...of all people, he's the last person who has the right to tell him that! He's trying to kill his brother for fuck sake?!

But he decided to take the reasonable response, since he doesn't know what that 'person' can do.

As he took a deep breath, he bowed his head slightly "I apologize.." his words weren't sincere, and Illuster could tell, but he ignored it and turned his head back to the black box.

meanwhile, the corps commanders tried to calm the demon king down. His dark aura was about to make the demons and the nobles faint.

They couldn't blame him, they also were angry. they just saw how Arut was treated in the human realm...they left him in the front lines to die a dog death!

"Please calm down your majesty, we need to continue the reaction."

After everyone calmed down, the black box started playing the next scene.

________________

"KEUHUK!" Deon quickly blocked the sword that was pointed at him with his dagger.

"I did not want any of it."

'I have absolutely no intention of sacrificing myself for the empire who put me in this hell!'

"COUGH!" the enemy coughed out blood as Deon's dagger stabbed him deeper in his chest...as well as Deon, he coughed out an abnormal amount of blood.

"I merely did everything i could to survive. I refuse to die according to 'their' wishes."

As Deon was standing on a roof looking down on the battle, someone creeped up from behind him...

"I had to survive no matter what"

He turned around with a cold gaze, staring at the red eyes person...he was smiling at him..

"And take revenge" he grabbed Deon wrist whispering to him "On them."

________________

The amount of blood Deon's coughed made them gasp in surprise.

It was their first time seeing this side of Deon...it was-

'Ha! Pathetic.. just why didn't you die?!' The Duke thought that they were useless, they couldn't even kill a 14 year old boy with a weak body! Are they that incompetent or is he just that lucky?...whatever it was, he'll find a way to kill him...sooner or later.

"Who's that...?" Caver mumbled to himself, he wasn't sure if that was Arut's other personality or a real person...is he dreaming?

Ririnell screamed in anger "THAT BASTART!! How dare he grab sir Arut like that?!" A while ago, she was about to cry seeing Arut hurt and taking about the hardship he had to endure but a second later she was screaming cusses while grabbing (pulling) a servant hair.

The servant cry couldn't be heard by her screams, his hair was about to fall off...

Meanwhile Cruel was contemplating killing the person who touched his baby brother like that, the emperor had the same thought as the demon king.

Everyone who didn't know about that, thought that the person was so bold to even touch the third hero/zero corps commander...

________________

"HUUK!" Deon wake up with a gasp, he was covered with cold sweat...was it a nightmare?

'A dream...? wh-what did i dream about...? I think it was pretty serious...'

"This is...my room..?" he got up slowly as he looked around his room, it was a pretty intense dream that it made him unaware of his surroundings. 

"Are you awake now?"  

"Ed...and Ben?"  

"YOU WERE ASLEEP FOR THE ENTIRE DAY SIR!" Ed shouted with tears in his eyes, he was so relieved and worried at the same time that he started tearing up. 

"We managed to finish your treatment while you were sleeping, but do you know how shocked i was when you returned covered in blood?" Ben saying that he was worried with a cold face made it hard for Deon to believe him...

"What are you talking about...? when did we get here?" Deon wondered what happened to the mission, he questioned whether he had lost part of his memories again...? 

________________

"Huh? so it was just a dream?" 

"But that looked so realistic to be a dream..."

"Then...what part of it was a dream?"

"Obviously, that man who grabbed the third hero." 

Eduardo ignored the whispers and focused on Deon's last thought 'so he doesn't remember what his other personality does when they take over? well...that's for the best.' 

________________

"The demonic monster subjugation was successful. the monsters fled in fear, and we returned to the castle after you collapsed, sir." Ed said before he closed his eyes tightly and bowed his head down. 

"My apologies. If i were just a little stronger...!" 

"WHAT?! THE MISSION IS OVER! AND I COLLAPSED?!" Deon completely ignored Ed's apology, was surprised that he collapsed.

"Oh my...could it be Amnesia? it was a severe injury indeed." as he saw how confused Deon looked, he started explaining that Deon was punched to a wall by a monster but got up right away. 

"Amnesia...! UGH!" pain struck his head like lightning as memories flashed in his mind. 

'Wait...did i get drunk and cause trouble?!' 

"But i heard the zero corps finished their mission without a single casualty! there were so many monsters too! that's incredible, sir Arut!!!" 

"N-no, I didn't do anything..."

"You're so humble too!"

"...Haa" he sighed as he gave up on explaining to Ben his side of the story...

________________

"Amnesia?...hmm" Caver said under his breath, it seemed like the most reasonable answer but...'Aurt said a second ago that this wasn't the first time...then, is it because of his second personality?' 

"haha..." Duke Illuster laughed, he couldn't believe it 'so he doesn't just have a weak body, but he also has amnesia?' he covered his mouth as Cruel glared daggers at him.

'...Doesn't he have any shame?'
