The 0th Corps Commander Became Trash! [ TCF x INTKOT ]

Chapter 53 - Third One

Previously...

Just thinking about it made him even more irritated, the position of Duke was practically second to the Royal Family, what more did he need?! He had pretty much everything!

***

'Can I ask for a break?'

That's when it struck him; resigning couldn't work. what about having breaks? It wasn't like he was going to quit, he was just resting. And if even that wouldn't work, he'll just run away with Deceiver and Hana. They would probably find him either way anyway.

"I need a raise."

Deon stretched, which was quite rare of him, who would ever think that the most "laziest" man was stretching? Certainly, not even his ex-family would expect him to stretch.

"A raise? I thought queens had everything."

"Keuk!"

What did he just hear?

Deon choked on his spit after hearing what Hana had to say to him, what did she mean by Queen?! He was no Queen, and if he was, he'd probably run away by now! The more important question was why did she even think of him as a Queen?

"There's no Queen here.."

"But why does father listen to you so much?"

"...That's.. That's because I'm the second person with the highest authority here."

"So are Queens!"

Hana retorted back, at this rate, Deon was almost convinced that she was doing this for fun. And usually, the only way to comply with their needs was to agree...

But there was no way that he'd call himself a Queen.

He looked at Hana, unsure of what to do, does he agree with her? But if he agreed with her, if a demon were roaming around here... That would end up horribly.

Making up his decision, Deon whispered into Hana's ear.

"Yes, but that's a secret between me and His Majesty."

"A secret..."

"That's why you two shouldn't say it recklessly."

Deceiver and Hana's eyes began to twinkle at Deon's statement, it made Deon begin to feel bad for lying to the two. If only he knew how wrong he was, then he wouldn't have such thoughts.

"Your Excellency, please don't wander about alone! Our Lord said so..."

"Yeah, yeah, I got it. Don't tell me what to do, I'll do whatever I want."

Creation waved her hand, shooing the worried priest away. She was bored after staying in her room the whole time. Ever since she returned from her outing where she met Shylin, the priests became increasingly alert.

They made up excuses such as being worried for her since she was a Demi-God like anyone could even harm her. Though she was off by one thing, the priests were worried for the victims, they had no chance against her in almost everything, that included looks of course.
