I Became the Master of the Devil

What does he mean he knows everything? How much does a child who has just become an adult know? Hoho.

 

“Move.”

 

“…”

 

Redian only frowned one eyebrow but didn’t move. There was something about his expression that bothered her again.

 

It would be difficult to deal with him, even with Rebeka’s strength.  I thought about pushing him away like I did with Irik, but it was impossible. Compared to Irik, who had a good physique but lacked vigor and strength, Redian’s entire body had been trained. Even if I pushed him, he probably won’t budge. Um, then.

 

“This is an adult world, Redian.” I tapped Redian on the cheek with my fingertips. “You still have a lot more to learn.”

 

“…!”

 

Then Redian, who seemed to have no intention of getting out of the way, took a step back.

 

I knew that he twitched like that whenever he came into contact with me lately. I told you, you can’t handle me. I got out of Redian’s way and approached the drawer next to the bed.

 

“Master must know well.”

 

“Me?”

 

Then I felt Redian’s crooked gaze following me.

 

That’s, of course. How old are my ages combined? I don’t know. I thought I knew everything well.

 

“I know more than you, right?”

 

“…”

 

When I answered, I felt his eyes narrow. In fact, as he said, when you think about Redian, Siani and Redian were only about one or two years older than each other. But why do I keep feeling like I want to tease him?

 

“Lie on the bed because we have to start.”

 

I packed the medicine case in the drawer and pushed a sedative pill into my mouth. As the night went on, my body would start aching. As if the pain in my shoulders weren’t enough, I even got hurt in my ankles too, so I felt like I had to at least do this to survive.

 

“There’s a lot to do from now on.”

 

“…”

 

However, Redian, who was sitting on the dresser with his arms crossed, just looked at me and the bed. Even though his expression wasn’t very clear, I could feel that he was quite confused.

 

Before we even finish talking about the monster hunting competition, there’s a long way to go. But why is he so uncooperative today?

 

“You’ll end up with a scar if you do that.”

 

I tapped on the bed as if to tell him to come here quickly.

 

“I’ve been treating you by applying ointment every night, but now you’re going to get hurt again by someone else?”

 

“…Ah, treatment,” Redian muttered small. “Did you mean to give me a treatment?”

 

“Of course.”

 

Warm water, towels, and medicine bottles. All the preparations were complete.

 

“What do I do other than treatment? Is there anything you want to do?”

 

“…”

 

Did you want me to show you around the room, or is he just hungry?

 

“Ah, are you hungry?”

 

Come to think of it, it was possible. Let alone a dinner, he didn’t even touch dessert.

 

“Well, it’s too late, and it’s hard to get anything grand, but there will be some simple fruits. Want some?”

 

“Sigh…” Then Redian slowly swept down his face. He looked both annoyed and smirking.

 

“You don’t like fruit? Then, what about sandwiches?”

 

“I don’t need it.”

 

His cool scent lingered nearby. The large bed creaked as Redian came and sat down next to me.

 

“I was trying to give you a fun sightseeing trip, but it seems like it ended up giving you trouble.”

 

“…”

 

“Sorry.”

 

His silver hair was wet, and he was wearing a white shirt, so he looked particularly neat. Is that why? It seems like his face has become thinner in a day. I saw him being shot with my own eyes, so my heart got weak.

 

“That crazy b*stard. I should have pierced his head.”

 

At the same time, the image of Ash came to mind, which made me angry. How dare he shoot at mine? I will pay him back somehow for what happened today.

 

“I liked it.”

 

“Yes? You liked it even though your back looked like this?”

 

“It’s my first time seeing a festival.”

 

Then Redian, who was looking at me, smiled briefly.

 

“It was my first time seeing people gathered together and smiling like that, and my first time seeing them making scented candles.”

 

“Scented candles?” I tilted my head for a moment. “There was no place that made scented candles. What the. Are you sure you saw it properly?”

 

“Well… Does that matter?” Redian shrugged his eyebrows.

 

What was he watching instead of watching the festival? Every time I asked, he said he was looking at it and saying it was pretty.

 

“Anyway, I saw you worry about me right in front of me…” Redian lowered his voice and muttered something. “It’s a good thing I let him go instead of trying to kill him.”

 

I can hear everything, Rere.

 

“When have I ever said you were a nuisance? I already said that I wouldn’t be playing games with Norma.”

 

“…”

 

There was a time when he raised his eyebrows even when I came near him…

 

It’s a big deal if he looks cute. I once again found it cute to see him calmly sitting next to me.

 

“Is the misunderstanding resolved now?”

 

That’s when I reached out and tried to stroke his hair lightly. Ouch, it hurts. My bruised shoulder felt stiff. I’m going to have a hard time for a while. To endure the pain, I try to clench my teeth like a habit.

 

“…!”

 

I couldn’t give it any strength. It was because Redian lightly grabbed my chin as if to tell me not to do that. He looked at me with a look as if saying, ‘Don’t do that.’ This is what I’m supposed to do, but since when did this start happening?

 

“What the? Am I your daughter?”

 

“I don’t need a daughter. It is Princess who needs to be treated first, not me.” Redian, who was looking at my shoulder, frowned.

 

“I’m okay. It’s not a big deal.”

 

What kind of treatment should be given for a bruise?

 

“It will subside over time anyway.”

 

It wasn’t broken bone or torn flesh.

 

“The bruise has been spared to your neck…” said Redian when I answered as if it wasn’t a wound to an extent. “Are you okay?”

 

“Yes. I’m okay.”

 

Moreover, it was time to take a sedative, and the effects of the medicine started to work.

 

“I’ll sterilize you, so take off your top and lie down.”

 

That’s when I was looking for a towel.

 

“You’re…”

 

Suddenly, my vision turned upside down.

 

“So disobedient.”

 

Redian laid me down on the bed and stared at my neck.

 

“At this level, you can feel the pain even if you stay still.”

 

“…”

 

“Is this okay?”

 

It was a strange thing. Why did it feel strange to see him looking at me like this?

 

“Did that b*stard kick you?” Redian muttered a low curse in his mouth.  “I’m going to cut off his foot.”

 

I can hear everything, Rere.

 

His expression was so stiff that it was difficult to joke around. It was to the point that I wondered if it was the same Redian who had quietly lowered his head when I touched his hair just now. No, first of all…

 

“Do you realize your current attitude?”

 

Getting out of Redian’s arms was a priority.

 

“Do you know how arrogant that is?”

 

Today, Redian has become very arrogant. If he’s already like this, do I have to crawl on my knees when he later becomes the crown prince?

 

“Why?” Then Redian, who was quietly looking down at me, asked. “I’m just trying to treat Princess.”

 

The expression on his face as if asking what’s the problem with that?

 

“You said it yourself. You know nothing yet.”

 

“…”

 

There was an unexpected smile in the blue eyes looking at me.

 

“Like I said, I don’t know.”

 

“…What?”

 

“So, Master, please teach me.”

 

Silver hair fluttered in the night breeze that seeped through the curtains.

 

Teach him? About what?

 

There was silence between us as if time had stopped. However,

 

“Redian, no, Rere.” I reached out my hand and lightly stroked Redian’s cheek.

 

“…!”

 

Then I could feel Redian freeze again. Look at this.

 

“You know how much I care and love you, right?”

 

“…”

 

There was no way I couldn’t notice that his long eyelashes were trembling. You’re no match with me.

 

“But that’s only if you listen to me carefully.”

 

There was still much work to be done. I have to treat Redian, talk about the monster hunting competition, and have a meeting tomorrow…

 

“So don’t mess around and get out of the way.”

 

But my body that touched the bed became increasingly heavy and more drowsy.

 

“Then just treat,” Redian replied quietly. “If you sleep like this, Master won’t be able to wake up tomorrow.”

 

Of course, that was not wrong. It may have been difficult to move for a while due to the spread of bruises.

 

“If you get treatment first, I will get it too.”

 

Because Redian was so determined, I no longer had the energy to argue. Moreover, my entire body was heavy from the drowsiness, as if the sedative had finally taken effect. Ah, I’m so tired.

 

I also need to check the samples from Bergman and the reagents sent by Vallentin…

 

“My ankle hurts.”

 

I can’t sleep like this.

 

“My shoulder hurts too.”

 

I’m so sleepy.

 

“It’s been hard all day.”

 

“…”

 

I muttered, curling my shoulder on the warm bed. Contrary to my will, I felt my eyes closing more and more.

 

“It’s noticeable, Master.”

 

So, my consciousness became blurred.

 

Who is it? Is it Daisy?

 

A silver-haired figure was seen kneeling at the foot of the bed.

 

“…”

 

Something warm has touched my ankle. The throbbing pain disappeared, and unknown comfort spread. The hand that gently wrapped my ankle, the breath that slowly laid me down on the bed, the warmth that covered me with the blanket. Even in my blurry vision, I could feel careful touch reaching me. And…

 

“I’ll be by your side.”

 

Those blue eyes looked down on me. I couldn’t tell if it was a dream or reality. How beautiful and sweet the color of those eyes was.
