The Fake Wants to Leave

T/N: Thanks InkSoul for the Kofis!

“Do you agree with John?”

Louis and Jude, who were excessively ridiculed by Charlize today, unexpectedly felt the same way as John.

Louis nodded and said in a tone as if it couldn’t be helped.

“Charlize was present in Tia’s room on the day she disappeared. I think we need Charlize to find Tia.”

Jude also shared the same opinion with Louis.

“Louis is right. I’m resentful that I suffered today, but I can’t help it because the person who saw Tia the last time was Charlize.”

Harrison looked around with three disapproving expressions and sighed softly.

“Haa. Charlize, although I don’t like that girl. She’s the only witness when Tia ran away. I can’t even throw her away.”

John gave Harrison another choice as he faced his poop-like face.

“You hate Charlize more than we do, don’t you? Then there’s another option. Do you want to hear it?”

“Let’s hear it.”

Harrison gave John an upward nod. John lifted his lips with a wry smile.

“Why don’t you get engaged to Charlize? Then you have to face each other at least a few times a month. In this way, Your Majesty can approach Charlize without hesitation and we can’t. If you make a formal announcement, Charlize will have to face you. What do you say about this?”

At the word ‘engagement’, Harrison broke the glass he was holding with one hand.

Clank!

The sound of the glass breaking resounded cheerfully. Harrison’s right hand, holding the glass, was stained with glass fragments. Blood flowed down and wetted the red floor sheet.

Harrison’s silver-gray eyes were glowing. He was ready to kill John any minute.

“Crazy dude. Is that the only option you can think of?”

“Then what are you going to do? Your Majesty doesn’t want to hold hands with Charlize at all?”

John, sarcastically, collected the glasses Harrison broke with magic and floated them in the air.

“……I’m going to torment her. She could be a clue to the missing Tia.”

“Then there’s no way. Getting engaged to Charlize is the only way. Your Majesty.”

“…Oh, my God, John. Do you have any other options?”

“You can’t tie up Charlize, who is crazy, nor you can meet her at any time. The only option is engagement. I don’t think there’s a better option even if I come up with another option.”

“You, who are called wise men, brought such a solution. You’re going crazy too.”

“This is the best you can do? If you go to Charlize now, she might accept Your Majesty’s engagement proposal. Don’t you want to find Tia? Wasn’t it Your majesty who cherished Tia the most here?”

Harrison couldn’t say anything about what John was saying and was just biting the soft skin in his mouth.

If only Tia would come back to him. He would probably die in happiness if he only saw her alive with his two eyes.

Harrison sighed deeply and decided to accept John’s best option sadly.

They can break the engagement when Tia comes back anyway.

In fact, Harrison had planned to get engaged to Tia at her birthday party. However, she ran away somewhere, so he couldn’t even say the word engagement and was being played by Charlize for months.

Engagement with the person you hate the most.

It’s awful.

Harrison recalled the next battlefield and vowed to relieve this enormous stress there. In addition, he thought he should bring the neck of the enemy king as a gift as Charlize’s engagement gift.

‘I’m sure Charles will scream or panic when she sees that neck, right?’

Harrison imagined Charlize standing stupidly and let out an oblique smile.

But that hasn’t happened yet.

It was just Harrison’s delusion.

John tilted his head, treating Harrison as a madman, who suddenly giggled and laughed.

‘Did he really go crazy to hear that he has to get engaged to Charlize?’

Then, he should move on.

Because Harrison has a personality that makes you feel better quickly.

In the quiet room of Charlize.

Charlize was lying next to Lua, who was looking down at her and twisting her hair with his long, thick index finger.

It’s been like that for hours.

What is he thinking? Lua’s dull gray eyes looked lifeless.

Charlize instinctively touched Lua’s soft sky blue hair. Then he shuddered and stopped twisting her hair.

“…Charlize? What are you doing?”

“I’m touching Lua. Lua is touching me. So I’m touching you, too. Why? I can’t?”

Lua’s empty gray eyes captured Charlize.

It’s not like that. It never was. Rather, the contractor’s physical contact helps the devil’s power.

Lua answered with his eyes bent softly.



“I don’t mind you touching me everywhere. Because you’re my only contractor, Charlize.”

“Really? Does it really not matter if I touch you everywhere? Don’t you have any shame? Come to think of it, does the devil have emotions?”

“I think it hardly exists. The devil is also called an emotionless creature.”

“If I can lose my emotions, I want to be a devil too.”

“It is extremely rare for humans to turn into demons.”

“There must be a way to be a demon.”

“Of course. If Charlize becomes a demon, the world would be ruined.”

“Why do you think so?”

Asked Charlize, smiling interestingly and brightly. Lua answered without a moment’s hesitation.

“Charlize is already evil beyond me.”

“Is it a compliment?”

“There’s no such compliment for the devil. It is very rare for humans to have this much evil energy. Evil energy comes from the great resentment and hatred of something. But Charlize, a human being, has overpowered my evil energy. I want to have that evil energy and grow up.”

Charlize traced down Lua’s sharp jawline with her fingertips.

“Okay. You can have a lot and grow up well. Lua.”

“Yes, Charlize. I’ll grow up nicely.”

Lua clasped Charlize tightly and recited low.

As if he had no intention of letting Charlize go for the rest of his life.

Charlize did not lose her smile while staying with the great devil Lua.

Even when Tia’s men enter her rooms at will.

Eugene, Charlize’s elder brother, thought that Charlize was possessed by the devil and was at a loss how to deal with the situation.

However, as Eugene thought, the relationship changed rather than Charlize being possessed by the devil.

Rather, the great devil was loyal to Charlize.

Like a loyal dog who listens to whatever Charlize says.

Eugene had a conversation about Charlize and the devil with Jeremy in the drawing room.

“I think Charlize is crazy. I think she has lost her heart to the devil. It’s a big deal.”

“…Is that true, Brother Eugene? Then we’ll have to seal the devil back.”

“I can’t even seal it. That devil’s power managed to break the pendant of the predecessor’s duke.”

“Then what about Charlize? Are you going to leave her like this? Even if they come to her now, Charlize would still smile and respond! What if she tries to kill herself again? Alas, what a pain in the neck.”

Jeremy, Charlize’s second brother, couldn’t overcome his angry personality and screamed. But at the end, he muttered a word wishing his liberation from her.

Eugene also felt the same way as Jeremy.

They wondered what would happen if she tried to die again.

No matter how much they saved Charlize with the divine power of the will left by their mother, there was a limit to it.

Tia is needed to save Charlize.

Tia is a lovely girl who inherited the power of a saint.

Eugene bit his lower lip and lamented the current situation.

After reminding himself several times that it should have been Charlize, not Tia, who should rather disappear, Eugene rose from his seat.

Jeremy saw his brother getting up, and then he got up too.

“Brother Eugene, are you going to Charlize’s room?”

“Yes, we have to keep an eye on her. Because I don’t know what the devil will do through Charlize. We have to be on guard.”

“How about your work?”

“Work is not important right now. The devil that should be removed from the world is unsealed and wandering around our mansion. Thinking about how to deal with the current situation is more important than working.”

“I have no idea how to help you work, Brother Eugene. What did the devil do to the world to make such a fuss?”

Eugene sighed at Jeremy’s question and began to talk about the past.

“Do you agree with John?”

Louis and Jude, who were excessively ridiculed by Charlize today, unexpectedly felt the same way as John.

Louis nodded and said in a tone as if it couldn’t be helped.
