Chapter 32 - You Should Rush Like You’re Going To Kill Me

Chapter 32 – You Should Rush Like You’re Going To Kill Me

“I like Bella.”

Hearing that, Bella answered, grabbing the tickling hand and bringing it to her own cheek.

“I like our Kiehl the best, too.”

She then rubbed the back of Kiehl’s hand with her cheek, like a cat on the street rubs its face against her legs.

“So, don’t be sick.”

Kiehl stared at her with her half-drowsy eyes.

‘Isn’t it too much to answer like you’re talking to Pur?’

“Really like…”

“Me, too!”

All of a sudden, Pur, who had brought a towel, interrupted them out of nowhere.

“I like the Miss, and I like the Young Master!”

“Is there anything you don’t like?”

“Carrots. I hate carrots now.”

While Bella took the towel and wiped his face, Pur climbed onto Kiehl’s stomach as before and lay down.

“Pur, what are you doing?”

“You told me to warm him up earlier!”

“I told you to make sure he’s covered with a blanket, you bear.”

Bella pushed Pur away and pulled the blanket up to Kiehl’s shoulders.

“…Are you going now?”

As she said good night and was about to leave her room, Kiehl hurriedly grabbed Bella’s hand again. However, her hand fell out as if it was slipping, as none of the strength entered him, and he let out a sigh.

“Well, then, shall we all take a nap together? Give Pur a pillow role.”

Then, Pur removed the pillow he was sleeping on and lay down with her warm stomach comforting him.

“Now, this is a bear pillow. There are all kinds of stone beds and jade beds in the world, but there will be no bear pillows.”

Bella lay next to Kiehl as she rested her head on Pur’s belly.

“Well, good child, sleep well and get well soon.”

As she placed a blanket covering Kiehl’s neck, Bella patted him with her hand, coaxing him.

She let out a small sigh of relief as she glanced at Kiehl and Pur, who had already fallen asleep.

‘It must have been a big deal.’

She secretly got up from Kiehl’s bed and put a hand on his forehead. Fortunately, the fever seemed to have gone down a lot.

Seeing Kiehl in pain was not good, though on the other hand, she was happy that he didn’t do the play. Although she knew it was just acting, Kiehl’s lines when he was practicing sounded so serious and mature.

He sometimes behaved like an adult, but at times like this, he was an innocent child…

‘If you were actually in the Imperial Palace, you would have a Crown Princess.’

Even though she informed him that he was the Crown Prince, he still didn’t feel like it.

With that thought, she stroked the sleeping Kiehl’s soft hair gently. Perhaps, tears were welling up, the small trembling eyelashes glistened.

Bella remembered what Jenkins had said a long time ago.

— “Did you kidnap the Crown Prince?”

When she saw Kiehl’s appearance like this, she really wanted to do it… She wanted to give him something like the novel.

Bella pondered what the Grim Reaper had said before being possessed by the novel.

— “The novel has a greater power to flow according to the original story than you think.”

She didn’t know how big the force that was going to flow was.

— “So, if the ending doesn’t go according to the original story, I think it’s changed by the will of the possessor.”

When she became an adult, Bella was naturally summoned in front of the Demon King right at the beginning of this novel.

‘I’m supposed to go back to the demon realm, anyway. Besides, it would be difficult for Kiehl to live in the demon realm…’

…Here is where the person Kiehl will love, and the future is.

He would enter the Imperial Palace, and in a few years, he would have the most beautiful spring day of his life.

‘Now, there is one year left.’

She heard that their play, which Bella had not seen, was completely ruined. And, she saw no more children coming to the swordsmanship class.

“What the hell did you do…”

“Sir Zanbar was the Princess, so the parents must have been frightened.”

Iwer, with a bandage around her arm, replied cheerfully from the side.

“That’s why you should have decorated Zanbar more like a princess.”

Bella replied as if it was a little surprising. Prejudice and discrimination was a society where status was eating up, so she didn’t expect them to be so surprised to see men marry each other.

‘But, come to think of it, Mary was also a woman though she said she couldn’t learn swordsmanship.’

Maybe, it was more conservative because it was quite far from the Imperial Capital?

When she noticed Iwer’s bandage, Bella asked worriedly.

“Are you hurt?”

“It’s a new fashion!”

“…Okay.”

Even if she was seriously injured, she didn’t care.

“Why are they in a cold war again?”

Glancing at Jenkins and Zanbar, Bella asked. When the two met, they didn’t get angry as usual, and they turned their heads to avoid each other.

“Haha… They look like that?”

In Bella’s eyes, Zanbar, who was forced to be the Princess, seemed to be avoiding her because of embarrassment.

‘As expected, you can’t leave the work to them.”

At that time, Pur, who finished the cleaning, pushed her chest out to ask for a proud compliment.

“I’m done cleaning!”

“After all, our Pur is the best, right?”

She was the best because she did nothing.

“Yes! The Miss’ favorite is me! Right!”

“Hmm.”

Pur was excited and hugged Bella, her eyes wide open.

“I like you better than the Young Master!”

Where should she even compare? Hearing those words, Bella didn’t want to say anything, even if it was empty.

“No? Even if he brings me a hundred green onions, I prefer Kiehl.”

“Am I the best without the Young Master?!”

Then, Purr asked more, twinkling her eyes.

‘This punk…’

Thinking so, she held Pur’s neck with both hands and answered, “If you touch Kiehl, I will kill you, no matter how the last of the bears.”

“Hing…”

What should she do with this crooked loyalty? Although Pur seemed to like Kiehl so much, it seemed that she could not abandon her nature.

‘After all, demons can’t be rehabilitated.’

At that moment, Bella saw a familiar object hanging from Pur’s neck.

“…What is this? Why are you wearing it around your neck?”

It was Juan Cruell’s handkerchief that she accidentally got last year.

“The Young Master said it looked good on me!”

“Even though Kiehl likes you so much, you’re thinking of killing him?”

Bella got goosebumps.

‘Well, they’re the people eating their own kids.’

She shuddered as she recalled the scene of the demon realm once more. Iwer sighed as Bella’s attention seemed to be moving away from the play.

Although she blamed Zanbar, the truth was a little different.

Iwer barely held back the laughter that was boiling inside her as she gently touched her arm. Until she died, she could not say that she had squeezed blood and fed it to Zanbar.

‘If you go to the Demon Realm, there are more and more things to talk about.’

Because parents wouldn’t expect Jenkins and Zanbar’s kiss scene to be so passionate with their tongues sticking out…

‘By the way, I’ve squeezed this much blood, but if Sir Zanbar is that much…’

Iwer looked at her with a sinister look, then turned her gaze away when their eyes met.

‘It won’t work for our Princess.’

When the children no longer came, Bella took care of Mary, who was the only serious swordsman in the swordsmanship class. It was a family that said, ‘You just grow up pretty and marry a rich man.’

So, she introduced Mary to the mercenaries because she had long wanted independence.

However, after Mary left the village, strange rumors began to circulate in the village.

“People say disrespectful things when they see our mansion.”

There were rumors circulating that there was a girl who was scarier than ghosts living in the haunted house.

“I think it’s because Mary just disappeared.”

Jenkins wanted to say that the last play also played a part, but he couldn’t say anything.

“Who cares. It’s quiet and nice. Pur is running around well in the garden now.”

“You’re very positive.”

Bella shrugged her shoulders. She hadn’t even lived here long in the first place.

As the skills of the other children other than Mary were so inferior to Kiehl, she began to feel that it was rather a waste of her time.

After all, the biggest villain Kiehl had to kill was Bella herself.

“I’ll have to fight with Kiehl.”

When she had been fighting in the garden for quite some time, the thought came to mind. Kiehl lives in a different world that Bella couldn’t handle.

An absolute genius.

She could see why Jenkins followed without saying a word, even as he grumbled at Bella.

‘If you teach one, he will know ten.’

Kiehl tended to suck like a sponge. As they bumped their sword, she asked Kiehl to apply what he had learned from Jenkins.

“Then, can I do this?”

As Bella lowered her sword, he raised his own sword while pressing it lightly on her sword.

‘You’re really good.’

Perhaps, it was because he was the main character in the novel, and it felt like he had all the good abilities.

‘Even if you don’t have divine power, you won’t die and you’ll be fine, right?’

But, it had a fatal drawback.

“Kiehl. How many times do I have to tell you? Those who seek your life will not attack while saving their own lives.”

Those were the assassins in his bed to get rid of Kiehl in the future. The unheard of, Crown Prince Kiehl, appeared and raised above them, and all power was taken away.

…Those who have nowhere to go.

“So, when there is a gap, you have to stab it relentlessly.”

Saying so, she grabbed her sword properly and turned to Kiehl before adding her words.

“You should rush like you’re going to kill me.”

Bella rushes in without showing any kindness, though he couldn’t do the same.

“Because the best defense is attack.”

“…Ha.”

Kiehl took a deep breath and wiped the sweat with his hand.

“How can I cut Bella?”

“The cat has nine lives, so just cut.”

Eventually, he flopped down on the grass that was cut, and laid back.

“…Bella, the sky is really pretty.”

“Look at you changing the subject.”

Bella lay equally next to Kiehl and followed her eyes through the clouds slowly drifting across the sky.

If only this little time left, like that cloud, would wander a little more slowly.

The red sunset slowly dyes beautifully from one end to the other.

Bella turned her body and lay down, looking at Kiehl. His golden hair, reflected in the sunset light, swayed like the scattered dust in a golden field.

At that moment, he noticed her gaze and turned around.

Kiehl eyes were gleaming with red eyes that twinkled like ruby-studded black hair soaked in sweat.

“…Pretty.”

Seeing Kiehl smiling brightly, she unconsciously reached out and touched his hair.

‘Now, if I just catch it, it will be over.’

Under the calm waters, a whirlpool was swirling, although Bella was playing in the water without knowing anything.

Even though it will come back like a tidal wave like a boomerang…
