chapter 20
20 – twisted love
I just looked at her. She silently touched the apple.
“How have you been?”
She was the first to break the silence in the silence, not knowing what to say first.
She was a noble woman.
Her snow-white hair and, above all else, her jewel-like eyes make it hard to believe that she is a living creature.
It looks like a colored craft. she always was
But now I couldn’t help but feel sorry for her appearance.
At the time of playing the game from the main character’s point of view, most of the deaths of human wizards in the second half were related to her.
Until then, he didn’t even know that this woman was Jekiel’s fiancé. I thought he was a slave because Jekiel treated me like a slave.
“very.”
“That is fortunate.”
Even without introducing ourselves, we knew each other.
Christine Keith and Glory.
Zekiel’s fiancé and de facto secretary. A person who later solidifies her position as the vampire queen.
… Well, just because you’re a fiancé doesn’t mean you’re on good terms.
From the time I was possessed by this world, Jekiel was already hated by Christine immensely.
I don’t know why. It was said that the two of them had been engaged for over a thousand years, and even Christine had been imprisoned in the devil’s prison.
She is released from prison only when the main scenario of this world begins.
So, this is the first time for me to actually see her.
She was still staring at the apple. It was fortunate that I did not have to meet her eyes.
“He killed two of my henchmen.”
Strictly speaking, it was one. Because the other one was killed by the chancellor. However, the longer the words, the uglier they are, so I shortened them.
“It was inevitable.”
I didn’t say anything wrong. But I saw Christine’s lips twitch.
“Do you remember Belua?”
“I remember.”
.
.
“Do you remember Brezzina?”
“She remembers too.”
Christine’s call continued for a long time. I just answered lightly. Actually I remembered their names.
She finally put the apple down on the window sill.
Our eyes met only now. Above all, her transparent eyes were now quite cloudy. Animosity that cannot be expressed with just the word anger looks at me.
“Everything died because of you.”
It was not wrong.
All the names that Christine had just mentioned were vampires who were sacrificed in the process of quitting as an executive in the Demon Realm.
“I mean, is that the end?”
If that was the end, I wanted to send Christine back.
When the true ending is reached, this world will become blissful anyway. You will be able to see all the demons she envisions.
“Do you have anything more to say?”
“none.”
Christine, who was sitting by the window, walks towards me. No sound came from those footsteps.
“traitor.”
Finally, the distance is so close that even our breaths can touch each other.
“You betrayed everyone. Finally, I have two more questions.”
she asks, looking straight at me.
“Do you remember the promise you made to me fifteen hundred years ago when you were engaged?”
Eyes as sharp as the edge of a blade pierce me.
I don’t know the promise she and Jekiel made. It was 1,500 years ago and I saw Christine for the first time today.
A clumsy pretending to know won’t work. The best I could do was just be honest.
“I don’t remember.”
grasp-
The apple on the window sill was smashed. It was an apology that exploded, but I was also quite nervous.
If black magic was coming and going in the hospital room, there would be nothing good for me, who had to maintain my professorship. I said something out of awkwardness.
“It is a very old thing.”
“Yes.”
Christine finally smiled and nodded. It was the expression that comes out when you feel too much anger. The resignation that won even anger.
“I knew you would answer that.”
She puts a ring on the table next to her. It’s the first ring I’ve ever seen.
“Now I want to throw it away too.”
However, it was immediately clear that it was an engagement ring. From the moment I became possessed, there was nothing in Jekiel’s hand.
Her eyes widened even more. With those eyes full of complicated emotions, she asks another question.
“This is the last thing left.”
“okay.”
She snapped her fingers and opened a small gap leading to the underworld.
“How is it. Does the sin of pride suit me?”
A desperate tone given to the other person who was just a fiancé.
A face that seems to have given up on everything. Or anger and hatred.
“It’s perfect.”
I was just answering that.
“under… ”
Christine just sighed and laughed once more and disappeared as if she was being sucked through the gap.
I let out a sigh of relief and inspected the ring Christine had left behind.
[ Christine’s Ring ]
▶Rating: Myth
▶ It removes ‘all’ flaws of the vampire race.
▶You must wear it on the ring finger of your left hand to receive the effect.
“Well?”
Instinctively, his eyes widened.
Flaws of the vampire race. That it is dangerous to be exposed to sunlight for a long time, that it is weak to garlic, that it is weak to things made of silver… This is half true and half wrong.
It is true that we have flaws in it, but higher-level individuals get immunity because they have the ‘protection’ given by the Lord and Queen.
So it’s half right and half wrong.
‘It was dangerous because I quit loading anyway.’
After I quit being an executive, I had all of those weaknesses. Until now, I had only endured it unnoticed by consuming my life force.
‘But if you have this… ‘
It’s a story that the life force consumption decreases exponentially.
can i put this on No, it’s not possible to plug it in. what are you hesitating
I immediately put the ring on the ring finger of my left hand.
◈
The servants are lined up on both sides. At the front, two secretaries greet Christine.
They were twin secretaries, Artel and Fertel, with pigtails. The two look very similar except for the pink and purple colors.
Examining Christine’s left hand, Artel smiled brightly.
“You are here.”
However, Christine passed them by without a word. It felt as if something burning inside her body would burn her brain as well.
Christine wanted to check just one thing today. Will Jekiel really remember that promise? just that one thing.
However, the results were so disastrous. I expected it, but even if it was the expected ending, resentment and resentment welled up.
– Get engaged to me.
-ah…
That day, Christine made it clear.
-I want the demon world and the human world to live in harmony.
If you do not risk your life for the title of war hero, if you choose harmony over destruction, she will gladly remain your wife for all eternity.
It was not just a contract, and it was Christine’s own mission, so she made it clear that she would never get engaged unless she was willing to help with this.
– I will.
And that was his answer.
He would have said that with a smile that was more confident than anyone else’s. So I would have given Christine everything.
-You don’t have any charm as a woman. Are you aware of yourself?
-sorry. make an effort
It didn’t take six years for that happiness to break.
Is Jekiel losing interest in Christine, who is just nagging her, or is he already engaged, so he has lost interest.
Either way, he started ignoring Christine thoroughly.
Also, he didn’t keep his promise.
He killed and killed humans, and also brutally killed demons of other races. He was, above all, a person who enjoyed pleasure and luxury.
His followers praised this as the face of a vampire lord, but Christine couldn’t understand it.
-Your heart is quite useful. How about it, I think it would be nice if you could give it to me.
-I don’t.
-Yes, that should help.
Even Christine’s heart was stolen from repeated slaughter and pleasure.
-The Demon King was quite angry with this accident, so I want him to go to prison instead.
-Yes… ?
-Aren’t you always at home anyway, just ask for about 300 years.
-…that’s right.
It was a major event in which all the people related to Christine were imprisoned in the demon realm, but other demons praised it highly, saying that they had no good relationship like this.
It was a marriage that was impossible to break with the power of others because everyone praised it.
Jekiel had to do it, or Christine had to do it.
However, Christine wanted to correct him because she was Jekiel’s fiancé. thought it could be fixed.
However, that illusion is 1,500 years old today.
Christine was nothing to him. It’s just a trophy of the exhibition stand… It was just an ornament.
‘Even the lineage of the vampire queen is just one female who protects Jekiel-sama.’
Christine was displayed for 1,500 years just to give off that nuance. while telling lies.
Fooling Christine with sweet lies…
“Christine?”
Artel’s voice hit my ears. It was only then that Christine realized that she was standing there in a daze.
As I start to walk again, I am immersed in my thoughts again.
– The sin of pride is inevitable. I have no choice but to take someone else’s life.
– So, I think the position is really insignificant.
I still sincerely think so.
What kind of nobility is there in this place that creates happiness with the misfortune of others and is proud with that happiness?
… However, Jekiel made her miserable once again.
-Jekiel, that guy quit being an executive. We need demons to fill the place of sin right now.
-Yes?
– Christine, you have to do it.
It was a sudden release and a sudden succession.
I wanted to ask why I quit, but I couldn’t. Except for Christine’s vampire, who was imprisoned, she died.
– You don’t know why.
– He really cut his hands cleanly. Well, he killed all his henchmen.
The sin of anger Lycan guessed so. Jekiel was playing with Christine like that until the end.
– Do the sins of pride suit me?
-That’s perfect.
He thinks of Christine, who hates the throne of sin more than anyone else, as a kind of amusement by sitting him as the sin of pride.
After tying Christine to the throne, she cleans herself up and escapes.
Apparently it was.
Obviously it was…
‘I was writing a letter.’
Are you writing a letter? to humans? Inadvertently, I skimmed through the contents.
It feels like my brain is about to explode. How far should I count as having seen, and how far should I ignore it?
“ah… ”
dizzy. Christine stumbled.
“Christine, sir.”
“Christine! Are you all right!”
Artel and Fertel immediately rushed in. However, Christine brushed it off.
“Everyone does their job.”
After saying that, she quietly disappeared.
The reason why Jekiel infiltrated Rahal Academy is obvious. It must be another war…
I had no idea what to do with my throbbing hair.
But suddenly, a purple secretary. Fertel stood still and opened his mouth.
“Christine, sir.”
Christine, who was walking ahead, stopped.
“Why did you send Alfred, Clyde? Both Jekyll, I don’t know. Why didn’t you give me information about Jekiel?”
“What are you wearing a toe!”
Artel immediately grabbed Fertel. But Fertel persisted in asking.
“Pertell definitely advised. Blood ball, you can’t take care of it. But you took care of it In the end, as expected, Jekiel ate it. Assassination now, a little younger…”
Quaak—
In the end, Artel drove a long nail through Fertel’s shoulder. Then, he glared at Fertel, who was pinned to the ground, as if to kill him.
“…I’ll pick you up and come back, so you shut up and wait here.”
Artel takes Christine into the castle. Numerous henchmen follow Fertel, who is stuck in the ground.
“If you hesitate, no. If you hesitate, no.”
Fertel muttered quietly as he was nailed.
Christine can only be happy if Jekiel dies. The secretary understood that all too well.
So…
“Jekiel must die.”
If Christine didn’t, she had no choice but to step in and kill him.
