T/N: Thanks Mira for the Kofis!
“……there is no human being who does not die. Charlize, we can look for your sister slowly.”
“No. The only key to escape from this damn corner of the house is to find my sister, Tia.”
“This is very difficult.”
“We need to find her quickly. I have to find her so I can get out of this hell.”
“Can I kiss you?”
Lua stood in front of Charlize, bent over and asked affectionately.
“If you want to take all my evil energy this way, you can kiss me.”
“You really would die, Charlize.”
“I’m not dying. Lua.”
It was the moment when romance was born in the dying flowers of the quiet garden.
Lua’s head bent at an angle and overlapped his lips with Charlize’s lips. And a sticky kiss began.
There were two guys who were watching this.
Harrison, who returned from the battlefield and came to the Duke of Rebecca to ask Charlize for an engagement, and John who accompanied him.
“Your Majesty, don’t you feel like you’ve already been dumped before applying for an engagement?”
“…… damn it.”
Harrison wanted to stop what they were doing right now, but somehow the soles of his feet didn’t move up from the ground.
Like someone tied his own shadow.
“John. Am I the only one who can’t move?”
“I can’t move either, Your Majesty.”
Harrison and John’s feet were tied up as if someone wanted them to see this.
And the one who wanted was Lua.
Lua felt the presence of two humans from the moment they entered the garden.
The smell of the two humans was also familiar.
It was the men of Tia who Charlize cursed so much.
Lua, who has a good memory, remembered everything Charlize had talked to him about. Thanks to that, he immediately realized that they were humans that would harm Charlize and didn’t want them to approach her.
It was because he knew that they were not guests welcomed by Charlize.
It’s time to engrave those guys to whom Charlize belongs.
Seeing that one even brought a colourful bouquet of flowers, he looked like the human being who sent an engagement letter last time. The one next to him maybe just came to accompany him.
Lua was eating the evil energy of Charlize while using his own power.
In fact, Lua told a white lie to Charlize.
It’s been a while since he had the power to command the demons lurking all over the continent. The reason why he didn’t immediately tell Charlize this fact was just because of the feeling of possessiveness.
He had a great wish to be tamed by herself while being next to her.
For Lua, Charlize was more than a savior.
A strange human being who is human but does not seem like an ordinary human and is not afraid of the Great Devil.
That was Charlize, and his attachment to her grew.
This was the moment when the possessiveness and attachment exploded.
Lua, who wanted to kiss her by lying to Charlize, committed a crime.
The devil was the devil after all.
A devil with a desire to somehow get the person he likes into his hands.
Lua, who is like the Demon King, has eaten a lot of her evil energy while touching Charlize so far.
As such, the obsession with Charlize, his contractor, grew to the point where he went too far.
Charlize, the person involved, seemed to know nothing.
Lua was grateful that Charlize was unable to look into it properly because of her obsession with freedom.
A long kiss followed, and Charlize and Lua’s lips finally fell off.
Charlize asked, looking at Lua with a gasping breath.
“Lua, did you consume more evil energy than usual?”
“I had a lot. Thank you, Charlize. For letting me regain my strength.”
“No, we’re using each other. Don’t be thankful. I’m just using Lua.”
“You are very good at keeping the condition that there should be no feelings for each other, Charlize.”
“If you have feelings with a partner like me, what you want to do can be disrupted.”
“I see.”
“So did you have enough evil energy to give orders to the demons?”
Charlize was deprived of more evil energy than usual, so her energy was completely drained, but she pretended to be okay.
She didn’t want to show her weakness.
Even if it was Lua.
“Yes. I think I can order them to find Charlize’s sister right now.”
Charlize’s face brightened immediately at Lua’s positive answer.
“Please. Please find Tia. Lua……”
Charlize clenched her teeth and somehow held on to the blurred mind. However, she fell into Lua’s arms as if her body reached its limit.
Lua knew Charlize would faint and held her in his arms.
And he released the shadow restraint of the two humans hiding behind him – Harrison and John.
Shadow restraint was one of the abilities that devils could use in a useful way.
Lua had never shown his abilities to Charlize.
He thought it was fortunate that Charlize fainted now.
He wondered if she would change her mind about himself after seeing him as a true devil.
Lua held the fainted Charlize in his arms and turned to look at Harrison and John, who were striding toward him.
Lua’s shallow behavior touched Harrison’s temper.
“What have you done to my prospective fiance?”
Lua snorted and replied slickly.
“Your prospective fiancé? Charlize didn’t seem to have that idea. By the way, isn’t it rude to come without contacting her?”
“What does the devil know about humans? And I have already obtained a pledge from the Duke of Rebecca that I can visit the Duke at any time.”
“I see. Charlize’s first brother did something useless. By the way, you sent her an engagement letter last time, and Charlize tore it up and threw it in the trash. Then, doesn’t it mean she has no desire to be engaged to you?”
“Charlize tore up my engagement letter and threw it away?”
“I saw it with my own eyes.”
Lua patted Charlize on the back and ignored Harrison.
Harrison felt well that the devil cub was ignoring him.
“Are you tamed by Charlize? Or do all demons like humans like Charlize? Why does it seem to me that you care so much about Charlize?”
Lua still answered Harrison’s arrogant question deftly.
“Charlize and I are bound by a contract. It’s natural that we care for each other. And why should I tell you about our relationship? I don’t understand. Didn’t you hate Charlize?”
Harrison could not respond to Lua’s blatant sniping remarks.
It was because Lua was right.
On behalf of Harrison, who was speechless, John, who thought that the scene was interesting, started his luck.
“I have no great grudge against Charlize. I’m just a little interested in you, the devil.”
Lua glanced at John and turned his head away.
“I’m not interested in other people except Charlize. Would you mind going back now? I have to take Charlize to her room.”
Lua tried to escape from this patronage by lifting Charles into his arms like a princess, perhaps because the conversation between Harrison and John was boring.
However, Harrison grabbed Lua’s shoulder roughly and turned him around. Lua’s steps stopped at the harsh gesture.
Lua, who turned half way, stared at Harrison and tilted his head.
Like asking if you have anything to do with me.
Harrison held out a bouquet of flowers in his right hand toward Lua. Lua expressed his displeasure by narrowing his brows.
“Why are you giving the bouquet of flowers to me?”
“It’s not for you, it’s for Charlize. And I happened to hear the conversation about using your power to find Tia. Are you really going to find Tia with Charlize?”
Lua sighed as he calmly pushed the insignificant bouquet away, and answered the tedious question.
“I’ll find Charlize’s sister somehow.”
“Then how about restoring our relationship from now on?”
Lua crumpled his face harshly, asking what nonsense it was.
He was showing his true self that was unknown to Charlize, because she fainted.
“Charlize said she would definitely find Tia. Then aren’t we partners until we find Tia? Didn’t you say that you would find Tia as well, so didn’t we become partners?”
“You’re so crafty.”
“I hear that a lot.”
“You are very brazen, too.”
“I’m willing to take off my image for Charlize so far.”
Thanks🥰💜🙃
