Deon has a private audience with his Majesty the Emperor.
" What do you wish for, Deon Hardt? "
" none, Your Majesty "
" How about becoming the Head of the Hardt Family with my full support? "
" I refuse, Your Majesty "
" Gold and riches? "
" I refuse, Your Majesty "
“ A Territory ? “
“ I refuse, Your Majesty ”
" Is there a title you wish to have? "
" I simply wish to resign as the commander of the vanguard, Your Majesty "
" Nonsense "
The Emperor frowns at Deon's lack of wishes.
He won't be able to send him with the hero as he planned to raise his reputation, but it wouldn't matter since there's several chances for him to be accepted as the 3rd Hero
He's starting to doubt Deon's talent. He is talented as a soldier ,but he doesn't have an aura to become the hero of the empire
It's as if he doesn't want to become a hero.
The emperor feigns ignorance at Deon’s resignation. He doesn’t want to let go of him because of his lack of interest in the title of the hero. It’s too dangerous to let go of a useful card like him. Who knows where will he ends up
“ You must have been missing your family “ The Emperor is aware this person has become mad and gotten several reports that he wanted to get revenge.
He’s trying to poke the 3rd Hero’s interest. Even if it means destruction of the noble, he will grant his wish.
“ … “ Deon never answered the emperor and kept his silence. The Emperor fears the 3rd hero might snap if he goes further with his provocation
...He must be burned out from the war. The Emperor forgot this soldier doesn't have a single fragment of a hero, unlike himself and the other heroes. He is still an ordinary human in the end.
The Emperor tries to comfort himself and hopes he could tie Deon to become one of his people and be the Emperor’s sword. Deon Hardt is still a noble of the empire, He wouldn’t ally with anyone else other than the empire and the chances of him joining the opposite faction is closer to none.
“ ...If you have any wish in the future, I will listen to them. I can’t leave you unrewarded and thus, you will receive the title, the Honorary Count Hardt and you will be granted entry in the palace whenever you wish ” The Emperor sighs at the 3rd Hero of the Empire who’s hard to read.
“Thank you, your Majesty” Deon bows in respect
“You’re dismissed ” The Emperor ignores Deon disrespectful look and let him leave on his own feet

Deon was staring in dazed at the front gate of the Hardt Mansion.
The face of hesitation to even step foot inside the gate due to the massive guilt and shame eating him inside.
The sight of a peaceful mansion overlaps with his memories where he massacred the servants and his family.
These places used to be painted in red due to his own madness.
'Do I even deserve to step foot in this peaceful place I used to call home?'
