71 Pledge your loyalty to me III

"Your Highness wants my loyalty?" Leviathan couldn't help but elevate his gaze to try to detect any hint of the Demon Prince's thoughts.

"Forgive this subject for being rude, but I will choose to refuse."

Even if Leviathan expressed submission in front of the Royal Demon Clan, he wouldn't necessarily devote himself to the members.

As the sole heir to the previous Water Demon Clan, he should of course support the Royal Demon Clan. However, the royals never showed any care for his clan when it was facing extinction, so how could he possibly do the same?

It was already hard for him to not seek retaliation and now they wanted him to slave for them? They could dream on!

"What if I help you get your revenge?" The prince did a hand movement, which was registered by the retainer.

The follower turned his left palm upwards and stretched the left arm towards his master. At the same time, a transparent glass bowl with purple grapes appeared on his hand.

"Revenge? Your Highness will help me eradicate the Fire Clan and risk initiating a war between the Demon and the Celestial Realm?" Leviathan was very sceptical towards the offer.

"Nope." The prince reached out for his favorite fruit and picked up one with his fingers.

Leviathan's eyes squinted, but didn't otherwise react. Just as he expected, they were taking him for a fool.

"Your true enemy doesn't belong to the Fire Clan."

"Your Highness must be joking." The Great Water Demon was getting pissed off.

"If murdering my lover, my family and my clan doesn't make the Fire Clan my greatest nemesis, then I really don't know who could possibly uphold that honor."

The prince sighed in disappointment before propping the grape inside of his mouth.

"Maybe my eye sight has been impaired after all."

"Your Highness' vision is fine." The retainer stated flatly.

Once again, the prince wanted to open up Zero's skull and see what truly was contained within. He was speaking metaphorically and he couldn't even understand that?

Nevermind, it was better to focus on the potential subordinate in front of him instead.

"Have you never considered the details about the fall of your clan? Why would a member of the Fire Clan hurt one of their own? Why would the so-called clansman of the Fire Clan travel all the way to the grounds of the Water Demon Clan to display his immoral act and risk the rage of both clans?"

The prince decided to give some hints. If Leviathan was still unable to show some degree of intelligence, he might consider just killing him off. Too stupid people would only drag others down.

Though, he wasn't too willingly to do so since he felt sympathy towards the demon. If however no other options were available, he wouldn't hesitate.
