The last dinner

Damian and Lex reached Adroelia by the evening and the first thing they did was to meet the emperor but before that could happen the princess caught Damian on her way and started attacking him.

"Eternal punishment!!" yelled the princess as she rushed towards Damian with her sword in her hand.

Damian who saw that sighed and immediately formed a barrier to block the attack. He then held the princess's hand and then threw the sword away.

Stella whose hand was grabbed by Damian immediately hugged him like a koala and said, "How can you do that to me, you agreed to marry her without even telling me, even though I have confe- OUCH!"

Just as she was about to ramble a bit more Damian flicked her forehead and said, "It seems like you are not acting very princess like.....let's leave you at madam Bertha's place so that she can drill some etiquette into you." and started walking away to the said lady's room.

"N-No not that place! Damian, my lovely mage Damian, you won't do something so cruel to a beautiful and innocent girl like me, right?" pleaded Stella.

But Damian just looked at her with a 'smile' and trapped her inside an barrier and took her with him.

After he delivered the princess he took Lex along with him to the king's study and knocked on his door.

"Who is it?"

"It's me, the Mage head Ian your majesty."

"Come in."

Damian then went inside and told Lex to stay here while also telling a guard to look after him.

Once Damian got inside he saw the king sitting on his chair and going through some documents and remained quiet for him to go through it. After a while the king looked up and said, "So how was your trip to Dragonof. And let me congratulate once again for you marriage."

Damian bowed his head and said, "It's was pretty hectic there your majesty and thank you."

"I know it was hectic, why do you think I sent you to deal with it instead of someone else. The more hectic it is for you, less work for me." said the king with a refreshing smile on his face.

Damian had a similar smile as well and he thought, 'I really want to smash that grinning face of his.'

The king then gestured Damian to take a seat and then ordered a maid to brew some tea for them.

"...So have you brought the 'present'?" asked the king while slightly narrowing his eyes.

Damian nodded his head and said, "Yes, I have brought it, should I bring it inside?"

The king just gave a nod and then Damian called Lex inside and immediately the king glared at him.

Damian just stood up from his seat and went towards the door and patted his Lex's shoulder before bringing in a huge box with him.

Seeing how Damian acted the king was slightly surprised but soon shook his head and said, "...Leave all of you." and immediately the guards and the maids left the room, leaving only the higher ups in there.

Damian kicked the huge box that he brought in and said, "Here, your gift, your majesty." and opened the lid to show the unconscious nobles inside of it.

The king nodded and said, "Give the written reports and proofs of their deeds later. I will ask Carl to deal with documentation.....though that's just a formality since the preparations for the 'party' has already started...Now then.....Lex, was it?"

To which Lex nodded his head and said, "Yes, my name is Lex, it's a pleasure to meet you your majesty." and bowed his head.

The king nodded his head and said, "Now then, I will not beat around the bush or will force you to answer.....for now that is. You should know that it would be better if you answered honestly from the start.....torture is very painful you know?"

Lex nodded his head already feeling scared of the king.

The king nodded his head and took out a glass orb from under his desk and said, "Put your hand on top of it and then answer my questions."

"...Is that a lie detector?"

"Yes." was all that the king said.

Damian took his seat and sipped his tea while the king interrogated him.

Once the interrogation was done the king was sitting back on his seat sighed and said, "It's the first time, I have ever seen someone not lying during the whole interrogation."

"And the only crime that you did was being used as a tool for the crime that the nobles did.....taking over the Prince's body and using his seal and the royal funds..... Honestly keeping the fact that the last two were also the part of the first one you have not done something that major.....you were not even the one who killed my son...Damn....giving you a public execution will leave a bad taste in my mouth....but I will have to kill you since you did something with the royal seal and the funds...."

The king thought about it for a while and then looked towards Damian and asked, "You know a way to deal with this Damian?"

Damian then took out a glass bottle from his storage having several small pills inside it.

"The sweet death chocolates. Eat one, sleep anytime, never wake up. Effects guaranteed."

Both the King and Lex looked at the glass bottle with surprise and blinked their eyes for a while.

The king then looked at Damian and said, "... Seriously?"

Damian smiled and said, "Wanna taste one to find out?" to which the king immediately shook his head.

The king then looked at Lex and said, "Looks like your dessert after the dinner is decided.....what do you say anything you want to eat specifically on you last dinner?"

"...Ummm I don't know abou-" before Lex could finish the king clapped his hands and a butler came inside.

"Inform the chef to prepare a feast for.....the prince. Tell him to make the best food he possibly could."

The butler bowed his head and went to deliver the king's order.

The king them looked at Damian and said, "In the mean time, show him around the town a bit....but be sure to be here by dinner time."

Damian nodded and then gestured Lex to follow him and then took his for sightseeing around the castle town.
