Chapter 29 Double Your Fun

Hector's POV

The brat was beginning to get on my nerves! The more he talked about it, the more I felt my blood boiling inside of me. I wanted to just shove him out the window and see how far his ass would bounce before hitting the ground below us... But that wouldn't solve anything, so I kept quiet.

"You're really starting to piss me off," I said, looking at myself in the mirror.

[Kill him]

The demon's voice inside whispered in my mind. It had been there ever since the summoning... The stupid king and the crown prince had no idea how to control it, so I had no other choice but to use it myself and however I wanted it.

But this time, I couldn't ignore its call. This time, it was different. Maybe because of the hatred growing inside of me... Or maybe because I finally saw what being a demon could do. If by chance the brat was right and the crown prince wasn't going to become the king, I needed another plan.

Another plan that was already living inside the queen's stomach, but how to get rid of that bastard king... I bit my nails as I thought about that one. That little shit was just too much for me! I didn't know if I could kill him after all he'd done for me... And even then, I had no clue who else we could trust besides the queen... And now Rowen acting all almighty too... I should have just gotten rid of him when the time was right, but now, the bitch Herena stopped me from doing so.

I walked away from the mirror and sat next to my bed, staring up at the ceiling, thinking... Thought of ways to kill them both, so I could be free. Free to do whatever I wanted, without any kind of rules or regulations. But there was just one thing that kept coming back to mind: What should I do about that bitch Nari?

Rowen clearly thought I was dumb and wouldn't notice how he tried to get her closer to his side, she was an assassin. She belonged to me. My object and my property. Whatever I will tell her, she will listen. I knew that she would, that peasant had no other choice thanks to the tracking chip I inserted inside her body. She couldn't escape from me even if she tried, and now Rowen thought he could simply steal her from me.

"Carlo!" I called out one of my loyal servants.



"Yes, Duke!" He immediately appeared before me, "report me everything about that bastard Rowen and Serenu," I ordered him glaring into his eyes.

"Serenu is quiet, my lord, but the young Duke is suddenly talking to your assassin," Carlo bowed his head.

Maybe it wasn't a bad idea to keep that slave next to me, he was a talented spy indeed.

"What about the bitch Nari? Their relationship?" I clenched my jaw, forcing my voice to remain calm.

"They fought together, my lord," Carlo's voice was like a cutting glass to my ears right now, "what do you mean they fought?" I stood up immediately!

"I think the young duke is trying to get her on his side," he lowered his head and said nothing else.

"On his side, you say...." A smirk escaped and a nervous smile appeared on my face, "excellent!" I felt how the demon in my body started to get excited once again.

"My lord?" Carlo asked while bowing his head.

"Bring that bitch to me, about time I remind her who's her real master."

[Kill them]

The voice inside my head was screaming at me, pushing me to do something about the situation. The demon's blood was boiling inside of me, burning with rage.

I hated how the noble scum was treating me. They treated me like a dog, like some kind of pet for their pleasure. I wasn't going to let that happen, I'm fifth in line for the throne, I had to succeed.

"My-my lord," that stupid assassin was here already without me noticing, "you asked for me," her voice was calm and she kept her head low as she should. She was nothing but a slave.





"I heard you fought with my son," I said calmly.

pαndα,noνɐ1,сoМ "No-no!" She stuttered immediately lifting her head up, "lower it down, don't forget who you're talking to!" I raised my voice to hers, making sure everyone could hear it.

"Lower your fucking head!" I screamed at her.

She nodded immediately lowering it to the ground while keeping her head bowed. I could see the fear in her eyes, the same fear I had seen in my wife's face.

"Since you don't like to listen, let me tell you a little story..."

"I'm sorry!" She spoke before I was able to finish my sentence, "Carlo!" I ordered and watched how he landed from the ceiling onto the ground and kicked her in the stomach.

She gasped for air, "now that you can listen to me, I will continue..." I stretched my and lifted the left corner of my lip, "there was once a bird and it was dying from cold..." The silence was complete, "the cow saw a bird and dropped some dung on him, the bird felt disgusted but then realised how the warm made his body temperature rise and it immediately made the bird happier, the dung was actually thawing him out. Thinking he could survive the cold winter, the bird started singing out of happiness..."

I paused and looked if the bitch was listening, hew lowered head was still on the ground as her body looked obedient.

"A passing cat heard the singing bird and came to investigate. Following the sound, the cat discovered the bird under the pile of cow dung, and promptly dug him out and ate him."

As I finished my sentence, I saw that Carlo was speechless with my story, 'good, he will learn something now too,' I fixed my collar and walked closer to the peasant's body, "now listen," I had to place my clean hand on her dirty chin just to make her feel better. I looked into her eyes and smirked, "the moral of the story, Nari: not everyone who shits on you is your enemy," I removed my hand and started brushing her hair with my fingers instead.

"and not everyone who gets you out of shit is your friend... So when you're in deep shit, it's best to keep your mouth shut! You understand?" I leaned my head to look into her eyes.

The emotionless glare back at me, made me understand that she was indeed listening, "good girl, now you will attend the prince's birthday party and will do everything that I tell you to, Rowen is not your friend or your master, but I am! Remember that."
