While on the way to the demon king Deon was seen to have a few books with him. On the book covers were things like "the history of the empire" or "war strategies" - this made everyone want to work harder as they saw that Deon was working even when he wasnt required to.

Deon and Cassius shared their tent together because Cassius was not afraid of Deon.

However it soon became clear to Cassius that Deon had a secret. Everytime Cassius tried to read one of these books Deon was quick to grab them and made some lousy excuses as to why Cassius couldnt read the book.

So when Deon fell asleep after a tiring day Cassius took one of Deons books.

,,Lets see what he tries to hide so desperately...",mumbled our hero as he opened the book and started reading.

After a while a short ,,What the-" escaped the heros lips as he quickly looked at the other pages. To say that he was shocked was an understatement. While he looked at the mini notes all over the pages and highlights he let out a soft chuckle. He never expected Deon - a war hero and highly admired and feared individual,as well as a little scared boy - to read this kind of stuff.

So what did our Deon read that made Cassius have such a reaction u ask?

Romance.

All the books had fake covers to hide the content of them. The books were all very sweet with some containing family love while others had love with friends and lovers.

The little notes and highlights? Deon sometimes fangirls over scenes or character and he makes little notes about what he likes as well as when he hates a character. He likes to highlight things he would love to hear from others and things he wanted to hear from his family.

Sometimes Deon also put names to scences or actions that he thinks a person he knows would do. An example is that Deon once put his parents names next to a scene where two people ignored their rabbit and only focused on their fox. But the name that he most often put next to scenes where cute moments happened was "hero" - since Deon called Cassius this and Deon hadnt learned Cassius' name that was what had to do.

Cassius put the books back after a while and he read some of the things Deon highlighted whenever he had time. He liked how Deon saw him and it gave Cassius always a happy feeling that Deon thought about him so often - even though our hero didnt know why. Our hero also made sure to say some of the lines that Deon seemed to want to hear very often. That means whenever Deon was near him - it made Deon turn slightly red each time - which Cassius found adorable.

Sometimes Cassius said those things to "Deon" while they were fighting demons and that "Deon" was confused and always made comments telling Cassius to stop that but he never did anything other than that and after a few times he just accepted that Cassius said those things to him.

This caused rumours among the other soldiers but the rumour would never leave the small group.
