Royalty or Mafia?

Two-Faced Duke and The Spy

Next Day...

Ainsworth Kingdom - Duke's Office

"Don't worry, Madam. I have taken the Count for questioning, and I will talk to the king regarding his retirement." A tall brunette duke said while smiling brightly like an angel. His aura was so bright that it made everyone around him shield their eyes.

Too bright! The onlookers cringed.

"Duke, you're so kind. My daughter is so lucky to have you as her lover." Vivi's mother sniffled as she looked at the brunette. Everyone familiar with the duke twitched in annoyance. Kind my ass! He's two-faced, I tell you!

"You're too kind, Madam." The duke said while smiling innocently. "Now, if you excuse me, I will be going to talk to the king regarding this matter."

"Of course!" 

.

The King's Office

"Lumiere!" A voice knocked on the door to the king's office.

"Enter." The brunette king said as he looked at the door and sighed when he saw the man coming in. "How can I help you, aniki?"

"I demand an execution!" The duke exclaimed at his younger brother.

"Huh?" Tsuna said, dumbly shocked by the outrageous statement.

"I saw Vivi crying a few minutes ago!"

"Is that so, Alex? How is this related to execution?"

"Because of the reason she was crying!"

Tsuna sighed. "And what's the reason?"

"He insulted Vivi about being a commoner and how she is not right to be by my side but someone else!" The eldest brunette said, frustrated.

Tsuna's eyebrows twitched. "So let me get this straight. You want me to execute Count Luka, a capable Count in the kingdom,  just because you saw your girlfriend crying because of the Count's comment."

The brunette nodded. "Yes, because I'm the only one who has the right to make her cry. If anyone else does, they must die."

Tsuna's eyebrows twitched. "You're shameless aniki."

"Eh? Really?" The Duke tilted his head to the side. "So about the execution, I think it's good to have it tomorrow!"

Tsuna looked at the brunette unamused. "I have not approved of the execution. Are you not taking into account how Count Luka's death will cause problems in the kingdom, Duke Alexander."

The duke flinched.

"Count Luka is one of our envoys to the outside countries." Tsuna narrowed his eyes at his older half-brother. "He is one of the reasons why this kingdom is prosperous. As for what he told Vivi, it is the truth, after all. She is a commoner and a snake."

"Sh-"

"I'm not finished." Tsuna said coldly.

Alex flinched at his younger brother's tone.

"As it happens Vivi is the one who must be executed."

"WHAT?" Alex shouted.

Tsuna took out some documents from his table and gave it to his brother. "Shadow got this information from his spies a few days ago. Why don't you have a look at it and tell me what you think about her now?

The brunette took the papers and started reading.

"You've been with so many women that it seems you have lost the caution you once were taught in the kingdom. Especially caution around women who are sly and cunning." Tsuna looked at his eldest brother, stoically. "They do say love makes you blind, so I suppose it's the case between you two in this case. After all, according to this Vivi Renal, or should I say Victoria De Martel is the enemy spy."

"This is not true!"

"It is true. You just don't want to believe it. I always did know she was an enemy; after all, I have Vongola's intuition. But chose not to tell you. I thought you would find out about her true nature; however, it seems I was wrong. By the way, Count Luka was with me in the meeting the whole time, so there is no way that he made her cry. Now what does that tell you?"

Alex frowned. "I see."

"Her execution is tomorrow, and that is final. I expect it won't be a problem, brother." Tsuna narrowed his eyes at Alex as they glowed orange.

"No." Alex said.

"Good. Shadow will be overseeing the execution so that you won't do anything foolish."

"Always so cautious, otouto."

"I have to be. Even with my closest allies. Who knows when someone would betray you for the throne or anything else for that matter." Tsuna said suggestively.

Alex's eyes widened. "I wouldn't betray you, brother!" 

Tsuna smirked. "We shall see then now, won't we?"

Alex nodded before leaving.

"You do know he's going to interrupt the execution, don't you?" Lucifer said as he appeared next to Tsuna.

Tsuna chuckled. "Of course. After all, love makes you do foolish things. I will stop him if he does."

Lucifer raised an eyebrow. "You're willing to kill your brother?"

"If it gets to that, then yes." Tsuna said as he stood up and walked towards the window. "I will kill him if he betrays me or chooses to side with that bitch. I won't let anyone destroy the peace of this kingdom after all my hard work, be it, family or friend, it won't make a difference."  The brunette king said as his narrowed eyes glowed orange.

Lucifer chuckled darkly. "I knew there was a reason why I liked you out of all the humans. You've got the look of a killer."
