Chapter 9 - Money


    A tall handsome man sat behind his desk in hisrge office staring down at his paperwork unfocused


    on what he was reading. His long slender fingers tangled in his jet-ck hair while his piercing golden


    eyes scanned the inky words over and over again but could not get what he was reading.


    "tch" he mmed the paper on his desk in frustration. His thoughts were all over the ce. First, it''s the


    dark magic that has been leaking around his kingdom, still haven''t found a way to stop them and now it


    was Diana''s unusual behaviour this morning.


    The Diana this morning was not the arrogantdy he used to know who she always clung to him


    begging for his attention. The aura that surrounded was nothing but cold and bitterness towards him


    and her parents. She showed no respect and her manners weren''t like adies which she should have


    been taught since young age.


    Though her reaction and behaviour towards the engagement which she spend years desperately trying


    to keep it alive and make it work between them even if it was just a political marriage was shocking, he


    nearly choked at her response.


    Damon had thought she would refuse his request, flipping the table in anger and crying her eyes out


    and pleading for him to reconsider but she did no such thing and epted it nonchntly while looking


    into his eyes that held determination and hatred ''When did that bitch have the guts to stare at me like


    she did with those hideous eyes of hers''.


    It was like she woke up one morning and became a whole different person.


    Nevertheless, staring at a crown prince like that would have had her eyes burned out but he let her go


    because she agreed with the annulment and punishing would have gone too far.


    But what dumbfounded him the most, is to how she knew the reason to why he came.


    A long-frustrated sigh escaped his lips.


    "What has the world be" he pinched the top of his nose.


    *Knock Knock*


    A sudden knock came from therge double doors that was in the far back of the room.


    "You have permission to enter" he answered coldly while staring at the door with wolf like eyes.


    The door creaked open and a young man with eyes of green and hair brown like the trunk of a tree,


    popped his head in. His beaming eyes spotted Damon sitting in the far corner, the same cold demonic


    aura surrounded him yet this time it was 2 times the coldness.


    "Seems like the prince of Aureum is not feeling very happy today." he said with a teasing manner "Has


    the annulment of Diana taken a toll?" Edmond mocked, walking in like he owned the ce.


    "Edmond I wouldn''t go there unless you have a death wish" he shot a few daggering eyes at the young


    prince who smiled awkwardly with a sweat drop down his forehead while he shuffled the back of his


    brown messy hair.

    "Hahah. Let me guess she flipped the table, threw a couple of fits before bursting into tears and ruining


    your good-looking suit with her smudged and snotty face"


    Damon would have sighed as in yes but that is not how it ured.


    "That would have been the case however the unexpected behaviour of Diana is what got me baffled"


    "Would you care to exin to your trusty old pal" he bowed, teasing the irritated prince across the


    room. Damon narrowed his eyes at him.


    "Why is it that you havee here?" Damon dodged his question.


    Edmond scratched his head in thought. "I might have forgotten my reason ofing here".


    The crown prince rubbed his temples in disappointment at the forgetful young prince of Terra.


    Sometimes he wondered why he had ced him as second inmand for the ck spades. Maybe


    his decision wasn''t such a great decision after all.


    "Has that small brain of yours decided to take a vacation or does it need me to bash it into a pile of goo


    so it can start too corporate again".


    "I remember, I remember" he waved his hands nervously, terrified of the idea. "We have report from the


    night spades".


    Damon shot up from his seat and his expression became serious. "Tell me"


    "Where does Diana hide her stash of money?" I pinched my chin, roaming around the room as I


    rummaged through the ces that Diana might have hid her money.


    I searched under the bed but could not find a chest. I looked behind the portrait but did not see a vault.


    I searched through her cupboard but still could not find box or a chest holding valuable gold or notes or


    whatever this ancient world uses for money.


    ''You may have been a stupid, na?ˉve, and a dumbass bitch but you really are a great hider'' I crouched


    down and peeped my head under the vanity desk but my luck, there wasn''t any box of money


    anywhere.


    I groaned in frustration, plopping myself on the floor and crossing my hands like a pouting child.


    "Diana you''re just making my life harder as it already it is" I mumbled as my brows twitched in


    annoyance.


    I mmed my fist on my palm remembering who might know where Diana hides her money. "Maybe


    Ste or Lilly might have a clue on where Diana''s money is"


    I raced to the bell that was lying on the bed side table. I ran like my life depended on it just for a stupid


    stack of money but I need that stupid stack of money.


    Yet it was a stupid mistake. My feet got caught under the rug and I tripped, it felt like the world stopped


    and my fall slowed down in slow motion letting me watch in 4K how I face palmed the floor.


    BANG


    Iy face t on the floor like an idiot. As a no.1 assassin this is just embarrassing, so d none of my


    especially Daisuke. That brother of mine would have reminded me every day of my embarrassment fall.


    Daisuke peeked his head from the doorway, he narrowed his eyes at me. "Sister, you eat that donut,


    you will be one. A round, big donut with a giant hole in the middle and you will roll through the


    street squishing people in your way as you roll your way to Krispy Kreme''s for another chocte


    covered donut"


    My donut was an inch away from my mouth as I red at my older brother who was smiling at me


    cheekily.


    "You don''t get yourself a girlfriend, you will be a miserable, wrinkly old man and no one will love


    you then. Ever!"


    "Who needs love when you got this" he had hint of fire in his eyes when he revealed his phone in the


    air like he was waiting for thunder to struck down on it and make it some powerful weapon.


    I rose my eyebrow in disbelief "Your hopeless"


    "Pffft Daisuke you hopeless being. You better have found me a sister-inw before I return or I will


    destroy that mighty phone of yours" I mumbled to myself. That brother of mines is never good at talking


    with girls. He could just smile at them sweetly and they would fall head over heels in love but then he


    will make it awkward right after.


    ''don''t worry Daisuke. When I return home, I''ll look for you a loving wife since your useless at finding


    one. I will make sure you two will end up happy forever and have adorable kids running around. She''s


    going to be someones loyal, trustworthy, beautiful and smart woman who will never leave you for


    another unlike Itami''
