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

Chapter 10 - Banquet after Banquet

"I kind of feel like an outcast..." Well actually... I am an outcast, I'm literally the only human in the realm..

Deon mumbled to himself, well unfortunately to him demons have more heightened senses than humans so some were able to hear him. On the bright side? It was only some of the Corps Commanders who were near the surrounding area he was at.

"Sir Arut!"

"Ririnell?" What is she doing here, leave me alone please let me slack off before I get sent to a battlefield again..

"...Well, please sit with us!"

Ririnell blurted out and proceeded to drag Deon to where the other Corps Commanders were at. Without his opinion obviously.

"Oh my! If it isn't Sir Arut!"

"Devilania..."

"You're wearing one of the outfits I chose! But this ones so plain, how come you didn't choose the other ones? Should I get one inspired by the Demon King next? Oh must I say you look beautiful in that outfit!"

"First off... I'm not a fan of extra things and, No, please don't get me an outfit inspired by his majesty."

"How sad... I was hoping to see you in it."

No words, Deon had no words to say. Was there anyone who was obsessed with dressing him up more than her? Probably not, she spent all her time and money to buy clothes for him every moment she got that some even had to get thrown up because of the excessive amounts of clothes.

Deon looked around for a moment, everyone's eyes were all on the Corps Commanders including himself, or not. That was when he accidentally made eye contact with the Demon King who smiled back at Deon.

'He probably has something to say to me. It's most likely about going back to the Human Realm or I'm being too cautious.'

Deon walked over to the Demon King who stopped talking a moment ago after he noticed Deon walking over to him.

"As expected you even knew that I wanted to talk to you."

"..."

Deon kept quiet, it'd be best if he said nothing. If he showed any signs to looking forward to go to the Human Realm he might actually get killed right on the spot. It was easy to do that since he had always kept a stoic face for his whole life, showing any signs of emotions would end up horribly for him.

"Arut, don't you think it's time you head back to the Human Realm?"

"Yes that's right."

"I think you should be heading over there right now or else you'll be late though."

'He even knows about the banquet for Cruel too? Wow he must have spies or something in the Empire because how does he know this. Well someone other than Illuster he doesn't count, he's always had a screw loose'

"Then I shall depart right now."

"Alright, it will arouse suspicion if you are away from the Empire for too long anyways."

"Yes.. your majesty."

"I already have a horse ready for you to quickly get there rather than a carriage. I heard from Ed that you've been itching to ride on one so I thought it'd be nice for you to go on one."

'Like hell I'd actually enjoy riding horses, that's too tiring.'

Deon then left with the Demon King's permission and headed out to outside of the castle.

'Seems like no Ed today, I wonder if he'll ever take up the position of the Ninth Corps Commander.'

Deon looked back to the Demon King's castle checking if maybe Ed had ran out to him. But there was no Ed. Well that was to be expected since this time he's going out in secret.

While walking to the horse given to him, Deon wondered if he'll ever get his wish to come true. It may seem stupid but he wants to live a life where he could slack off.

He was tired of fighting. Deon had always hated pain, and the eight year long war did not help at all.

More important than that, is there a way he could possibly prevent his brother from dying? Deon doesn't like being alone in this world with no one by his side or maybe he was just acting like a kid right now.

***

"Haah... I was forced to suck up to the Demon King and act like a strong commander and now I have to act like a hero and suck up to the Emperor."

Deon cursed his current circumstances. He must be the unluckiest person yet luckiest as it seems the world refuses for him to die.

And the Emperor is just as horrible as the Demon King. Now don't get him wrong, he may have made Alberu the Emperor in his past life but he learned his lesson.

Never ever trust the Imperial family.

'Royalties always have loose screws.'

No never mind that, he's supposed to get attacked today right?!

Well he's fucking doomed that's one thing for sure.
