Picked up a Demon King to be a Maid Chapter 307

Published at 23rd of May 2021 03:27:06 PM

Winterless City, Royal Palace.

While Lin Xiao and the others were happily eating ice-cream, Caesar was facing another man's wrath with a grave expression.

“Brother, are you really going to go?” The man had his back towards Caesar as he sternly questioned.

“Yes.”

Caesar had his chest up and head raised and responded without backing down, but no matter how much he forced himself, he couldn't hide his unease. If you listened carefully, he didn't have his usual confidence.

“Is that so?” The man slowly turned around and asked, “What if I won't let you leave?”

“Brother, you can't stop me!”

Caesar continued to hold on and secretly clenched his fists as he bravely faced the man's opposing gaze.

Blond hair and blue eyes with sharp facial features. At first glance, that man looked similar to Caesar, but if you took a close look they were quite different. Compared to Caesar's handsomeness, he looked more heroic, whether it was his sharp gaze or broad jaws, he looked like a valiant general, unlike a young prince like Caesar.

Currently, his expressionless face held some concealed anger as he stared daggers into Caesar, like a lion starring at its prey. If it wasn't for Caesar's determination and clenching his teeth, he would have already went limp.

It was strange, he was a normal man without any magic or battle aura. Even if he was given a sword, it would be difficult for him to hurt Caesar, but if you had to ask why Caesar was so nervous…

He was Thomas Alex, the eldest son of King William, first in line to the throne.

As for his older brother's inquires, he didn't dare not respectfully listen.

“I don't understand, what do you want? Even if you complete missions as an investigator, what can you obtain? Money? I'll give you as much as you desire. Fame? I can also arrange that. So, why do you want to take the risk?”

“Brother, I… want to be a hero!”

“Oh, I almost forgot, that was your childhood dream… Since the day your mother died, right? Caesar.”

“…”

“Susanna, she was a good mother, you should be proud of her.”

“Yes, mother has always been my pride, but others don't think so.”

“Sigh, why are you still mentioning something that happened when you were a child? Father already made amends, gave her a name, and also gave you the status you deserve, are you still not satisfied?”

“Of course I am… if I wasn't, then I wouldn't be standing here and saying goodbye, but I would be putting a sword against your neck, brother.”

“Heh, you're right.” Thomas chuckled and didn't mind his impertinent words as he continued the topic from earlier, “So Caesar, you shouldn't hold a grudge against father.”

“I don't, I never have.”

“Sigh, brother…” Thomas sighed and was speechless.

Caesar had never thought about becoming a hero before, but ever since that incident, it was like he was possessed. He ignored the mocking and ridicule and diligently trained in swordsmanship and magic to become stronger, towards that goal that Thomas couldn't understand.

To turn the once innocent Caesar into what he's like now, even if it wasn't resent, perhaps there's another issue weighing on him that he can't talk about…

“Forget it, since you're so determined, I wont stop you. But…”

Just as Caesar relaxed a bit, Thomas' sharp words made him choke in anger again.

“I'll send a group of guards with you, in case you're in danger.”

“Brother! I'm going to finish a mission, how can I bring guards with me?”

“Then what if you meet an enemy?”

“I have a sword.”

“… Your sword, may not prove useful.”

Thomas shook his head and didn't want to continue arguing. He could only sigh and change the topic when he saw Caesar becoming angrier.

“Brother, I heard you arrested someone at the alliance office called Hebrew?”

“Just a greedy scumbag.”

Caesar briefly recounted of what had happened.

“I can't believe there was someone like that working there… brother, it's better if you don't go. You're going to get married with princess ShenDai Ying in half a year, the journey is going to be dangerous, if you meet another Hebrew with no one protecting you and something happens, how will I explain that to her?”

“I'll be fine…”

Although Caesar's brother looked very manly, but he was always very naggy and treated him like a child. Last time he was forced some guards when he went to Heino Kingdom, he definitely won't agree this time!

“Sigh, father was right, you really are an immature fool, you will never understand until something happens… leaving your beautiful fiancée behind and running off on your own, is there something wrong with you?”

Caesar finally had something to say to his brother's lecturing.

“No, I'm not going alone.”

“Hm? Is ShenDai Ying also going with you? Then that might not be so bad… you can just think of it as a newlywed trip.”

“No, not her, I'm going with Rosie.”

“What? … Cough, that brat again!”

She had a good temperament, although she had a little temper, she was prudent. She wasn't a noble, but she was from a suitable family and was a good marriage partner. She was always following Caesar around, but he didn't seem to mind, so there were some possibilities there.

If possible, it wasn't like Thomas never thought about helping his foolish brother make the decision and letting them get married. But Rosie couldn't compare to the Great Qin Empire behind ShenDai Ying, and since their marriage was decided, he couldn't go against the king's orders.

“Okay, then you can go with her… just don't forget about the marriage in half a year. If you break that promise, I'll send someone to bring you back.”

“Tsk, no need, I'll be back.”

Although he replied firmly, just imagining himself getting tied up and carried back to the palace made him shiver. He resolved himself to successfully complete the mission to prove his own strength, to live up to the expectations of the hero!

Yes, this mission wasn't just a normal mission, it was an excellent opportunity to realize his dream!

A while ago, Greenton's second, the reserve hero Evelyn came looking for him. She said that the hero had interest in him and hoped that he could be actively involved in this mission. If he performed well, the hero would even be willing to make an exception and take him as a disciple!

How could Caesar retreat after hearing that? Not just this mission, he would be willing even if it was to hell and back!

So he ignored his brother and turned to leave, preparing to set off on his own journey.

But as he was leaving, he was stopped by Thomas.

“Hey, wait!”

“Give up, I must go, even father can't stop me!”

“No, I just wanted to warn you of something.” Thomas stepped forward and lowered his voice.

“This mission isn't a normal S ranked mission, on the surface it may look just like Gotham Kingdom's problem, but it seems like there's a lot going on behind the scenes, even I couldn't fully investigate what's going on…”

“What do you mean?”

“Venus Society.”

According to his information, last times mess at Heino Kingdom wasn't just perpetrated by Anderson alone, there was a secret organization called Venus Society behind him.

Even through the Kingdom's networks, he couldn't find anything about the Venus Society, all he knew was that they had some relation to the Holy Light Church. But as for what they wanted to achieve, Thomas had no clue.

“There will definitely be someone from the Venus Society that will mess with this mission, even the hero might not be able to successfully resolve it, I mean even he's baffled right now.”

“Did something happen to him?”

After Caesar heard his brother say that, he suddenly remembered an important detail.

Last time he was supposed to meet with the hero, but in the end Evelyn showed up with a haggard appearance and left quickly after saying what she needed to say, like she had something important to do.

“Caesar, honestly, this time's mission is just a front, the real mission hasn't been divulged yet, and probably won't be until you guys reach Gotham Kingdom…”

Thomas felt worried for his brother's safety when thinking about how his foolish brother was going to get involved in this mess.

Even if Caesar wanted to be a hero, he still needed to keep his life. Now that even the hero is lost, aren't these rookies just going to foolishly die in vain?

“Caesar, I'll just tell you once, actually the hero's holy sword was stolen. On the surface, your mission is to investigate the turmoil in Gotham Kingdom, but you're actually going to help the hero find the holy sword!”

“What… did you say?”

Caesar's jaw dropped after hearing what Thomas said.

Was the holy sword something that could be stolen?
