Not Duke, I'm a King

Akash called Golden Panther and Red Mamba, who complied, and dismissed everyone else.

"I would like to thank you for your efforts on this palace."

Akash told Golden Panther.

"It's just a small gift for you, Duke Akash."

The panther responded.

"Tell me the conditions you were talking about earlier, if you're fine with speaking in front of Mamba."

Akash cut to the chase.

"No, it's okay, I only have one condition, duke, just one."

Akash interest was piqued as he nodded before the panther carried on.

"I want to be second in charge, this is the only condition I have."

"And why should I do that?"

Akash asked majestically.
