I double checked my everything. My suit, my hair, my breath. I hadn't had a date in so long since my high-school girlfriend decided to cheat on me with multiple guys. I threw myself into my mom and dads pizzeria. Eventually they died in a car accident and I inherited everything. All was going well until I was taking out the trash and I saw her.

She was absolutely beautiful. Her hair, her face, her blood. Wait what? I looked at her again and saw a bullet hole in her side. I instantly ran to her and offered to call an ambulance.

Through gritted teeth she said no hospital and no police. They would be looking for her. So I took it upon myself to help he as best I could.

After managing to extracte the bullet, we just sat and talked for hours. She was impressed with the fact that I was just 25 years old but managing my own business. When I asked about her occupation, she straight up admitted that she was the head of our local mafia family, the Ricci family. All good things must come to an end unfortunately. She needed to get back to her family and I needed to finish cleaning up. I walked her out to the door where she surprised me with a kiss to the cheek. I like to think I surprised her back when I asked her for a date but her smile said she was expecting me to.

The clock on the wall chimed 8 times. Time to meet up with her. I rather quickly say a prayer for everything to go right. As soon as I open the door she was standing right there. Long black dress, hair perfectly styled, very little makeup. One look and she was not crime boss Sofia Ricci, but a beautiful woman ready for a date with the luckiest man in the world.

I almost called out the general right then and there but the more devious side of me thought this was going to be hilarious.

"Apologies General! I had a brief accident with the cleaning crew spilling chemicals on my uniform and they insisted to take it to get cleaned!" I replied with a half-hearted salute.

The General's face when from it's normal deep red to an ugly shade of purple as he steamed in a rage. "Then why and Our Great Lord's unholy name are you still standing around instead of getting a new uniform from the barracks!?!" He screamed at me practically in my face.

"Sir I was assigned this post and one of the mission briefings was I was not supposed to leave this post for any reason other than emergency!" I replied this time trying to hold back my laughter.

"You think this is funny Soldier!?! I know the Demon Lord personally and I will make it so you are working in the lowest pit of rot for the rest of your life!"

He was practically frothing at the mouth when he said this. I never met this man before.

"Sir I was lead to believe that the Demon Lord was not in the capital today?" I asked him with a confused look on my face.

He got this smug look on his demonic face "of course that is what we told the common soldiers. I actually just had lunch with our Lord. And I believe I do speak for our Lord when I say that idiots like you have no place in MY army!"

I frowned a little bit "Your army? We are the Demon Lord's army!" I said as I crossed my arms.

"Oh please we are the true power of this kingdom. With our us the Lord would have nothing. We General's can do whatever we want to you peasants and little you can do about it!" He then took his clawed demonic hand and back handed me.

I flew down the hallway and landed on my feet. "Is that so General?" I growled out as the room felt much colder, not that the idiot noticed.

Just then a maid came by holding my freshly cleaned shirt along side my top general aka my wife.

"Here is your shirt my Lord. Again I apologize for running into you." the maid said as she bowed in apology.

"Think nothing of it little one" I said as I threw my shirt on not taking my eyes off the now confused General.

"Darling why are you wasting your time with this parasite?" My wife asked as she looked at him in disgust. "We are needed in the throne room to meet our next guests."

The mana surged within me as I uttered a spell that helped transfer the memories of the last 15 minutes to both my dearest wife and head maid, who also just happened to be my chief bodyguard.

"Wha-what is going on?" The soon to be dead man asked.

"Well to recap you insulted me, lied and said you knew me personally though I have no clue who the hell you are, and then you backhanded me across this damn hallway. In front of my very sadistic wife and very protective maid." I said as I put my hands in my pockets. "Have fun girls but don't take too long. I'm going to get a snack." The screaming started as I rounded the corner.

This is my first time posting here and on mobile so forgive any mistakes.
