Chapter 54 – Kiehl’s Best Weapon

It had always been like that. Bella’s vision that Kiehl saw turned behind him and walked away. As he barely pulled her, a cloud of smoke came and she would disappear…

However, he could suddenly feel something warm on his lips.

‘….?’

As Kiehl slowly opened his eyes again, Bella pressed her finger against his lips.

“You…”

She tapped his lips with her finger with a slightly startled look.

The Bella in his vision, whom he had always seen, was always smiling without saying a word. In front of his eyes, she was now pinching his lips with her two fingers, pouting them like a duck.

“Your sleeping habits are worse than I thought.”

Kiehl’s eyes widened distinctly as she nagged him, waving his clenched lips.

“You can’t do that to anyone.”

‘Anyone… it’s not like that?’

It was clearer than the visions Kiehl had always seen, and she was saying things he had never heard before. After waking up slowly, he remembered that he had come to the underworld yesterday. At the end of the nightmare, the fantasy was laughing as if ‘what you want will never come true.’

Just the fact that he could touch that reality in front of his eyes made his eyes red.

“I’m sorry. Did I hold it too tight?”

Kiehl’s throat choked as he gazed at Bella, who smiled mischievously, sticking out her tongue, and was embarrassed.

“That… Did it hurt that much?”

The hands that tickled his cheeks with her hands, and the embarrassed face. In addition, the cute figure was also pinching his lips with her hand again, checking, ‘Is it that painful?’

…It was Bella whom he missed so much.

He wanted to hug her right now.

…Madly.

However, before Kiehl could reach out his hand, Bella stood up and spoke, “Kiehl, don’t go outside the barrier. You must not eat anything given here. Got it?”

“…Where else are you going?”

He grabbed Bella’s hem.

“Let’s go together.”

Thinking for a moment, she then summoned Iwer.

“Iwer. I’ll release what I banned you.”

A red belt was wrapped around Iwer’s neck as she yawned as if she had been summoned from sleep.

“Yawn… Suddenly?”

Then, Kiehl gripped the hem of her robe even tighter. In his dreams, it was okay to leave again and again. Nonetheless, now that they were facing each other, no matter what happened, he didn’t want to miss her like that anymore.

“Bella, if you’re thinking of taking your heart out…”

His voice trembled sadly. Bella, who did not know what he was feeling, couldn’t help but smile embarrassedly.

“Am I not that trustworthy…”

He shook his head bitterly because he felt sad about the past years they had been together.

With those words, Kiehl had no choice but to let go of her hand. Rather than make excuses with a hundred words, she placed his mouth on Iwer’s forehead.

“I, Bellatrix, will not ask Iwer to take my heart out unless Kiehl permits it.”

A small wind blew between Iwer and Bella, unlike when she had made an oath with Kiehl. She then stared straight at him and opened her mouth.

“Did you see it…? I didn’t call her to take it out. But if that’s too much for you, I’ll take it out, okay?”

The next moment, she cautiously approached Kiehl and gently brushed the hair on his forehead to the side.

“As demons live roughly and do not keep promises, they are arbitrary, but I’ll only make promises that I can keep.”

She brought her face closer to him and pressed her lips briefly to his forehead.

“It may not have any effect, but let’s say we made an oath with this?”

Bella smiled brightly as she ruffled his hair.

At that moment, Kiehl’s face flushed red.

‘…No, I know that this is what the demons do when they make an oath.’

A while ago, she said, ‘You can’t do that to anyone,’ though it was too much of an act to kiss his forehead without any hesitation.

“You must stop anyone from approaching Kiehl, Iwer.”

“Yes!”

Iwer was wide awake and glanced at Bella with a blush on her face.

“Don’t look at me like that because I’m annoyed.”

“Yes!”

As Bella left, Iwer twisted her body more happily.

“Young Master, what are you thinking now?”

“Nothing… I have nothing to think about.”

Answering her, Kiehl turned his head to keep his blushing face undetected by Iwer.

“By the way, things went as planned.”

From the beginning, they planned to take an oath from Bella.

It would be difficult to go straight to the human world, so in the meantime, they were thinking of seducing Bella with her favorite food.

They would give her something delicious if she took Iwer’s hand to make an oath. That way they would be able to be with her even when she returned to the human world because she couldn’t say that she wanted to go back to the mansion.

They were very cleverly trying to place the baits one by one.

Luckily, Bella came into the trap even though they hadn’t laid the bait before the start.

“What am I supposed to do? It will never be convincing.”

“…Ha.”

“The best weapon is that face and tears.”

Kiehl bit his lips tightly. Even though he didn’t want to admit it, he couldn’t say anything since he saw it work.

“By the way, isn’t our young master the one who keeps his promises?”

He sighed at those words.

As much as Iwer has done a great job, he had to give her a reward. According to what he had learned, if it was a reward worthy of being the Crown Prince himself, it would be territories, titles, or money, yet the demon Iwer wanted something else.

A higher-ranked dream demon Iwer didn’t just empower him just for fun.

Kiehl placed a finger on Iwer’s forehead, and she quietly shut her eyes. This feeling itself was like power to the higher-ranked dream demon, Iwer.

As her hands began to clench, she twisted her body more and more.

“Wow. Young Master, you really like our Miss?”

“Don’t say it.”

Kiehl’s face grew redder at the embarrassment that someone else felt his own feelings the same way.

“Young Master, can I introduce you to my friends? In fact, they were camping outside.”

Kiehl hastily nodded his head.

As he shared his feelings, he wanted to quell the hot thoughts that came up again. When he went outside, the dream demons spread out a mat as if waiting, lay down on it, and were intertwined with each other.

“Wa, wait…! Wait. Don’t come yet!”

No matter how they were dream demons! What were they doing outdoors? Iwer ran to them hurriedly.

Looking at Iwer’s back, Kiehl then woke up the sleepy gatekeeper Pur.

“Pur, are you awake?”

“Yes… No! I’m checking to see if the barrier set by the Princess is broken!”

“Well… Sleep when you are tired.”

“No, I mean… Yesterday, my friends from the Animal Kingdom camped out to see the Young Master’s face.”

“You mean the demons?”

“How did you know? That must be a secret! It’s a big deal! Iwer…!”

Pur hastily sprinted forward on all fours and called out Iwer, who was outside the barrier.

“The Young Master knows that this is the Demon Realm!”

In front of Iwer, the dream demons who were changing their grooming stared at Pur and shook their heads all at once.

“You mean you got something great even though you went with that Pur?”

“As expected, Iwer, that’s great.”

Iwer showed her status to her friends once more by posing sexily inside the barrier.

“Here comes the human child.”

“I don’t think he’s a child?”

At that time, Kiehl and Pur went to her. Iwer shrugged her shoulders and said confidently, “Well, ta-da! He’s the male lead of my story.”

“Iwer, don’t use such modifiers.”

Kiehl rebuked Iwer for being embarrassing. The dream demons were close to the barrier and were busy watching the human child of the topic.

“Looking at his red face, he has already done it. I bet it, the Princess getting knocked down.”

“She was knocked over by a human, eh.”

Kiehl paused as he listened to their conversation. The dream demons began to evaluate him individually, scanning their lips with their tongues.

“He’s handsome.”

“No, he looks more pretty than handsome. What does the hair look like? What? Huh?”

“His body is also strong.”

“His fingers are thin and long. I like this the best.”

Hearing their words, he showed discomfort and looked at the dream demons.

“Is this the type the princess likes?”

“Hmm. Aren’t there a lot of incubus like this?”

Iwer shook her head as she turned to the dream demons, “What do you mean, the taste of the princess is our Young Master!”

However, the dream demons looked down on Iwer and muttered among themselves.

“Why…? Did anything happen with the Princess in the Demon Realm?”

Kiehl and Iwer, who used to be in the human world, glanced at each other, and at the same time, shot suspicious eyes at the dreamers.

“No, what. There is one incubus that the Princess likes. It’s so different from this one, isn’t it?”

His face grew darker at those words.

“That’s right. How much does the Princess love Fabion? She calls him to her bedroom every day.”

“I am so envious! I wish she could call me, too!”

While the dream demons were blushing and giggling, Iwer couldn’t help but panic.

It was the same with Kiehl. Bella would stare at him like she was going to kill him if he crossed the line even just a little bit.

“Pur, is it true? An incubus called Fabion… every day…to Bella’s…”

Pur replied confidently, sticking out her chest.

“Fabion comes every day!”

As if she would never admit it, Iwer’s vein rose around her neck, and she shouted.

“It can’t be…!”

While Iwer was being fussy, the dream demons peered at each other and slowly took a step backward.

“Does a pink-colored mood make sense? How ignorant! She only likes extravagant things!”

“I…Iwer.”

“The Miss only likes to spend money and eat!”

“Though among us, I think Fabion is the most likely as the Princess’ companion…” Instead, the words that the dream demons spoke to appease the excited Iwer further angered her.

“Everyone is a liar!”

At that, the dream demons put Pur on the witness stand.

“Isn’t that right, Pur?”

“Pur said that every time Fabion went, the Princess would moan!”

His gaze returned to Pur. At the same time, Kiehl’s eyes widened, and he covered his mouth with his hand.

‘Moan… what?’

At that time, without noticing it, Pur roared with pride, “That’s right! I even get to hear the Princess moan? Are you envious?”

“Wow. I envy you! Fabion knows the Princess’ taste well.”

“That’s right! He does what she likes!”

While the dream demons looked up to Pur with ecstatic expressions, Kiehl and Iwer were in a different world.

‘What… What does she like?’

“Oh, my god… The Miss has trampled on the Young Master’s innocence.”
