Why am I always the one in the middle?!

pt 4

"Ah, I called you here because I wanted to talk with you about something." The demon king said with a smile and Deon began to sweat, his mind racing with idea that the demon king wasn't satisfied with his performance.

"Is it because of my mission?" Deon asked and the demon king shook his head no, making Deon feel relieved.

"No, you actually did very well on your mission. I wanted to talk to you about something else." The demon king said with a slightly playful tone at first but it turned serious as he talked, but he still had a smile on his face. "i wanted to ask if you could be willing to formally become my weapon."

'Huh?' Deon was confused but also a bit shocked, unsure on how he should respond.
He was fine with being the demon king's weapon if it wasn't for the fact that the emperor would probably find out and well he was also used by the emperor so he couldn't be the demon king's weapon, since that would make it so no one else could use his weapon form except for the demon king.

"I'm sorry sir but I can't otherwise the emperor would notice." Deon said and looked down at the table, unsure on if he should look at the demon king or not nut ultimately deciding not too.

The demon king sighed but nodded, understanding why he rejected. "It's really a shame but it's fine, I can just wait until you decide." The demon king said and Deon became nervous, mainly since he knew that a war between the empire and the demon realm would start soon.

Despite his racing mind Deon nodded, just wanting to get out of this situation, but the demon king wouldn't let him get out of this situation that easy.

"Are you feeling well? I head you coughed up blood on your mission and I wanted to check if your okay." The demon king said and Deon nodded, knowing that the side affects could be worse.

"Yes I'm fine, thank you for asking." Deon said and the demon kings smile faded, his yellow iris's glancing at a few flowers.

"Why do you take the flowers even though they hurt you?" The demon king asked suddenly and Deon also looked at the flowers, not knowing exactly why he took poison every day.
"I do it because-" But before Deon could finish a needle war thrown at the two, Deon just narrowly dodged and the demon king stood up.

'How dare these bastards ruin my time with arut?' The demon king thought as he clicked his tongue in annoyance, Deon also stood up and picked up the dagger.

'it has the same poison on it that I drink...' Deon thought as he stared at the poisoned needle, finding it a bit funny that someone would try to poison him with the poison that he poisons himself with.

"Arut, can you tell where they are?" The demon king asked and Deon nodded yes, being able to see the faint bit of black cloth in a few trees, there were many people that were trying to assassinate the demon king and the zero corps commander.

The demon king smiled and nodded, giving Deon permission to attack them.
But just as he went to run he fell, he looked and cursed silently.

'These damn heels.!' Deon cursed mentally and the demon king looked at Deon with a bit of confusion before chuckling at him

"How about I take care of it?" The demon king teased and Deon narrowed his eyes at him, annoyed by the demon king's teasing.

"Just hurry up and take care of it..." Deon muttered with the same cold expression, but by his tone and aura it was clear that he was annoyed.

The demon king laughed a bit and Deon just stared at him with a cold gaze, clearly annoyed by the demon king's teasing.

The demon king used magic to summon a ball of purple fire and threw it at the people hidden in the tree's, surprisingly the trees didn't burn and instead they just hurt the people who tried to attack Deon and the demon king, though no one knew but the demon king was kinda annoyed since they ruined the time he had alone with Deon.
