What did i do wrong?

Who cares about the team budget, If I could just reason to them that the money was lost amidst our escaping... He thought.

He ordered, "Give me one pudding."

With all of that happened, the King will definitely terminate our mission. All I can do now is to hope that the king would not send us again, except for his brain is already been damaged by his counselors... He thought hopefully.

As a budget treasurer and captain of the elite intelligence team of the Ryder kingdom send to investigate the current situation of the Demon Lord City.

He was responsible for his teammate's survival, and of course their living expenses too.

As per their King ordered, they'd been there to grasp and exploit the current situation. Sometimes even add spice to the heated conflict in the shadow.

Demon Lord City was ruled by a powerful Half-human, a powerful lion lineage of their tribes. This kingdom was home to many different types of half-human, preys to predators, you name it.

Although their kingdom name has Demon on it, they are not demons or relatives of them.

Demon traits were easy to spot with their signature of all black colored, hair to eyes, not different from a normal human body. But for Half-human, they're too was easy to spot as their body has visible traits of animal body, hair or horn, etc.

Two-hundred thousand years ago. This kingdom was split into different kinds of tribes and beliefs, fighting to conquer a rich land to fertile for their tribes to survive.

With their strong body and animal instinct that can be a weapon to survive, it's not surprising that they would fight each other just for the land. Therefore, their unison to fight the outer threat of their land was devastating if it happened.

And thus, it actually happened. The human invaded them to take their abundant rich land for themselves.

This kingdom name was Ferrand Kingdom and now name Quan kingdom, one of the vessel kingdom of Zoxan empire.

To defend their land and not become a slave to the greedy human. They'd banned together to fight for their freedom, led by the Lion tribes and their chief, Rawrgorn LionHeart. And still, their current king as of now.

Even though they united, they still at a disadvantage, as the weapon that their use was a low-class forge, that their tribes made.

As the human invaded them nonstop. Their leader doesn't have a choice but to accept the offer of the Demon God, Fiendzalluzaz, also known as the Lich of the Underworld.

Henceforth, they'd manage to establish their own society just for themselves.

But every deal has pros and cons in any situation it was.

Freedom exchange for their future peace.

That was the deal that their King can huggle in those times of crisis. As the Demon supplied them with weapons and knowledge about magic, Demons gradually having an influence on the masses. Even though that is a simple matter but for the future, that is a much bigger problem for them.

Of course, the only known about this situation is their tribes chief and few individuals.

Demons are smart people, and can asses a situation, present to the future. And that is a terrifying view of their King to the demons.

Instead of subjugating their people with strength, they'd instead go for the safest one and most complete plan of making them a puppet of war.

If you still remember the geography of the continent, it's landmass is like a thick bowl with water inside and outside of it, and the crack in the west of it is called the New World.

And that crack separated the Half-human and Demons in their respective nation.

As the legend says, demons are notorious for having a dream of conquering the continent all by themselves. But something keeping them at bay, not letting them do as they please even though they are not in a conflict to fight.

And that races are the dragons!

Demons kingdom is blocked to the east by the well-known mountain range where dragons live.

This mountain range is called "Dragon Nest" but for the dragons, they prefer to call it, "Home". Because of this, the demons are isolated to the rest of the world. Not having a chance to persuade the dragons to let them pass.

Just what the rest of the world call for the dragons, a Territorial Wife. A joke to them having a sensitive territory as they go always in rampage, even though the person just accidently step his one-foot to their territory

And that means, the only path the demon could take is the Demon Lord City. Just a span of the ocean where they are.

So, they infiltrate the Demon Lord City using their influence of saving them two-hundred thousand years ago. This plan is been commence by the news that, Rawrgorn LionHeart's life is now declining because of his old age.

And that is the thing that the Ryden Kingdom needs to use to become a free kingdom, away from the tyrant.

If war took place in Demon Lord City, surely the Zoxan empire wouldn't let the chance to take more land for themselves, and that would mean too for the Sven empire while their back is vulnerable for the attack having half of its army is away from the border with them.

Therefore, the Ryden kingdom would immediately send an alliance to the Snowheart kingdom and kill all the Sven empire army out of their border along with the aristocrat that have influence in their kingdom. Maybe conquering a bit of the land empire while at it for the two of themselves.

"Got it!"

Izzeth heeds the command and approached the refrigerator to fish out the pudding, and serves it to his table.

The robed man didn't idle. He digs in.

Puff!

But before he can even do so, a small spoon shove to his pudding. He looked at the source and see a Red little tiny girl with wings. Her face grinned in a smile as though she knew him.

"Ouch!"

Red suddenly yelled in pain. Out of nowhere, Izzeth appears beside them and used his two fingers to smack her.

"What are you doing?"

Izzeth asked, looking down at her.

"What is it, big brother Izzeth. What did I do wrong?" She asked innocently, scratching her head.

"What do you think it is? You just disrespect our customer, bothering him to his meal." Izzeth coldly said.

"Why is it wrong? I didn't even talk to him, even bothered him is not." Red retorted.

Izzeth lips twitched. "That his meal. You don't the authority to eat his meal, much more getting his permission to let you!"

"Huh...? What kind of reason is that? Chloe didn't even stop me when I eating her pudding, and now someone stopping me. See here, see his face! He didn't even talking, so that means he let me!"

Red reasoned her reasoning again, and the rest was twitching their lips nonstop.

Izzeth became momentarily dumbfounded before saying. "You know what to do, Light"

Without further question, Light moves along with her sisters to restrain Red and put her somewhere, just away from them, mostly to the customer.

"I hope that doesn't bother you, sir." Izzeth as a manager and the chef, apologies bowing.

"It's okay. No harm, no harm." The robed said.

Now that there is no hindrance. He started to eat the jiggly dessert in his table. Without a doubt, he likes it, slowly eating the pudding so he can taste how sweet it was. Not aware that to the other side, the fairy was salivating as they watch him eat slowly.

"What a great food!" He praised.

"Good to know, sir." Izzeth reply with a smile.

"How much it is?"

"500 Gold and 600 Silver, sir."

The robed man pays without a bargain to have a discount. The robed man ordered a few slices of cake and one serving of Egg-fried rice again that his money can get before he bid farewell and take the staircase down.

To the rest of the day. No customers came until the closing time.

Izzeth rinses the cheeky little girl Lilith mouth before going to sleep. While Chloe that already done, ready their bed and joined Lilith to wash their body in the bathtub.

After it, the two knocked on his room. it's still 9 pm and they have still time before to go to sleep, which again, Lilith challenges him to play Tekken.

Before going to sleep, Lilith is already fuming in anger losing straight, but not too infuriated. Because this time, she won for the first time, and felt a little relief that she was getting good at the game.

They entered their respected room and slept, because tomorrow will be a busy day.
