Chapter 59 – Demon World Order?

Bella opened her eyes at Pur’s voice.

“Princess…!”

As soon as she opened her eyes, she stood up, took out her wings, and put her nails on the neck of a stranger in her room before blinking her eyes.

“… ?”

“Oh, it’s Kiehl.”

“You woke up?”

Kiehl took Bella’s shoulder with one hand and turned her to the other side and asked, “Are you trying to kill me now?”

“Ah, no way.”

“That’s right.”

Bella calmly waved her hand to Pur.

“Pur, good morning.”

“Well, Princess. I think you should go outside.”

“Why?”

“The moon is gone.”

“Am I not awake yet?”

Saying that, she stretched out and at Pur’s words before stepping out of the cottage. As soon as she opened the door, Bella raised her head and glanced out at the scenery outside the villa. Kiehl followed behind her and looked at the same sky together.

‘Ah… It really is an animal kingdom.’

There were really many types of demons in the demon world. The humanoid dream demons, or the various animal forms of demons.

However, the largest number of them was the insect type with the lowest intelligence and high fertility. A lot of those insects clung to the barrier, sneaking around Bella’s villa, and disappearing as soon as she came out.

It was like when you turned on a light, and cockroaches would run away all at once towards a dark corner.

Bella never screamed or swore at times like this. It was a landscape that she was not used to even after several years. She just stepped back and scratched the goosebumps that had grown all over her body with her arm.

It wasn’t that she was afraid to touch it. These are the types she really wants to avoid and doesn’t want to touch.

On the doorstep of the villa, Kiehl caresses her creeped out arm from behind.

“Bella, are you okay?”

“Xx… Why is there no pest control company in the demon world?”

“If you go to the Imperial Palace, I will never let insects come near you.”

Kiehl, too, had seen the scene, so there was nothing else to comfort him.

‘…Bella has always lived in a place like this.’

He could feel how desperately she needed ‘just for a day.’

“When we get back, let’s go see the ocean.”

…Ocean.

Bella sighed heavily at those words. When she left Kiehl and traveled, she was afraid that she would be reminded of a place she hadn’t even come close to.

“Yes, let’s go. Let’s go wherever we said we’d go.”

“You don’t have to go to the temple.”

“Even if you ask me to go, I won’t go.”

She took a deep breath, and as she exhaled, she took his hand.

‘Let’s calm down…’

With good thoughts, she suppressed her desire to catch all those bugs and kill them.

‘You must not lose your mind here.’

She had almost killed Kiehl before unconsciously. Although he was the number one reason for her to go quickly into the human world, Bella didn’t want to explain it to Kiehl.

The Kiehl she hadn’t seen in a long time…

No matter how he already got to know that she was the Demon King’s daughter. Bella wanted to be the Princess of the Animal Kingdom that lived in the mansion as long as Kiehl was in front of her…

For several days of waiting for Rinnee’s summons, Bella did not go out of the villa as much as possible. If she had to go out, she would only be annoyed. Because inside the villa, there was Kiehl who was holding her reason.

“Then, I’ll have to pack my bags now.”

In fact, all she needed is her cell phone.

Bella sat down on the floor and began to gather the objects and clothes she loved from the underworld in one place. Meanwhile, Kiehl clasped his chin and looked at Bella, and smiled happily.

“Is it that pleasing?”

“Of course. How much I wanted to get out.”

Lowering his eyes slightly, he stared into her pockets and bit his lip.

“Ah! I haven’t worn this dress a few times, and it’s already small.”

The more Bella packed her stuff, the more excited she got, like when she waited for the summer festival a long time ago. Kiehl wanted everything she wanted at this time, so he carefully asked what he was most curious about.

If it was now, she seemed to be able to answer as if passing by.

“Then, why did you say you wouldn’t go out in the first place?”

“It was my destiny to die here. Oh, it got blood in this, will it be erased? Shall I take it…?”

“I’ll buy you all the clothes you want to wear, so bring only what you need.”

“Oh, my gosh.”

Bella turned to Kiehl and put her hands to her chest as if moved by him.

“Kiehl, you are the best in the world.”

For a moment, that bright smile and words almost made Kiehl lose his mind. There was a brief silence, and as Bella turned her head again and packed her things, he came to his senses and asked.

“If we don’t go according to fate, will Bella die?”

He was just trying to sneak a question when she was distracted. However, at that, Bella stopped everything and raised her head again. As she slowly turned to look at him, Kiehl had no idea what her expression was saying.

“Why are you asking that?”

Cold and empty eyes.

He seemed to be confronted with the fact that the townspeople were sometimes afraid when they saw Bella.

“…You said it was Bella’s fate to just die here.”

“Ah…”

“I thought Bella was going to die, so I worked hard to become the Emperor.”

Hearing that, she fiddled with her cell phone and put it into the deepest part of her bag.

“Is that so? Haha. Why did I say that…?”

Then, Bella took her luggage.

“I think I packed everything because you said you would buy clothes for me.”

Kiehl was quite certain that there was something hidden under that smile.

‘If the story doesn’t go as it is, what will happen?’

It was like standing on the edge of a cliff and touching the air with one foot. Extreme anxiety about falling into the abyss.

“Is there anything else to bring?”

“Oh, would you like to bring the cactus, too?”

“You mean the one you bought in the Fire Kingdom?”

“Yes. If we go to the human world, will the flowers bloom?”

Bella put the potted cactus that had survived from the wreckage into her bag.

‘Who puts flowers in a bag like that…’

Kiehl had seen that the cactus had already withered the first time he had seen it, but he couldn’t bear to pour those words over Bella’s hopeful look.

‘Why is she so cute?’

Where did the scary figure from a while ago go? Kiehl smiled softly, not taking his eyes off Bella.

“Should we clean up this place?”

“What? Why?”

“Without Bella, who is…taking care of it…?”

“It’s okay. They are all self-sufficient people.”

It was an obvious fact. If there was a place where even one thing called order was applied, it would have been possible to overthrow this demon realm and live happily for thousands of years.

It still was.

‘Haa… These bastards are eating their own kind again.’

From the sound of life dying out somewhere, even the smell of a rapidly decomposing corpse… It was not uncommon for them to eat other races for the power they wanted, so Bella was exposed to disgusting sound and smell every time.

‘Hold it in….’

Bella clasped her trembling hand and grinned as she gazed at Kiehl. Eventually, Pur opened the door and poked her head in.

“Princess! The generals are here!”

“Yes. Tell them to come.”

“They’re already in!”

Taking a deep breath, she opened the door of the villa. From outside the barrier, Bella could see four generals vigorously entering the barrier.

“Princess!”

“Oh, xx, I forgot not to let them come.”

Immediately, the other three stopped, except for Zanbar. They thought they had been given permission and came in proudly. They transformed into humanoids and asked again.

“Can I come in now?”

“Speak from ten meters away.”

“Yes!”

It had not happened once or twice, so they stood there, measuring the distance between themselves and Bella with a large ten meters tree branch.

One of the generals shouted from afar and asked her.

“Princess! Who is that person?”

“Yes! That’s none of your business!”

Zanbar, who came nearer, looked at Kiehl for a moment and said to Bella, “Princess, it’s important. Let’s get everyone together.”

“Why, what?”

Bella beckoned, and the generals who were away rushed to her in one step.

“Princess, I don’t think you fell in love with a human or anything like that, right?”

Seeing Kiehl standing next to her, she waved her hand and opened her mouth, “It’s rather disrespectful to this kid. He has a different fate.”

…Because Kiehl had Rosanne.

However, Bella was unaware because they had never had such a talk with the two of them.

“Phew… What a relief.”

Seeing the generals sighing in relief, Bella was a little upset.

“Wait a minute.”

“Yes?”

“No, no matter what I do or say, who do you think you are to be relieved?”

“…Yes?”

“The more I think about it, the more ridiculous it is, isn’t it?”

Bella’s anger slowly piled up. They didn’t even know their places, so what were they doing…?

The next moment, Zanbar confidently asked her.

“If you don’t like him, how about choosing a companion?”

He was sure it would be him. It was something the generals had also vaguely expected, so they were just staring at each other.

“…Companion? Why?”

“Didn’t all of the past demon kings choose one of the generals as their companion? Choose one of us as your companion.”

“Are you crazy?”

Bella took a look around the generals and shuddered.

“Did you take drugs with your group? Why are you talking like that?”

To the demons, companionship was just about the position of the demon king and the general secretary. There was absolutely no emotion like love, though there were folktales among the dream demons who said they felt something similar among the past demon kings.

Even though it didn’t matter who it was, since it was an existence that could be used beyond the power of the Demon King, they must mix their bodies at least once.

‘I don’t like all of them.’

Bella didn’t even want to imagine choosing a companion blindly.

“There’s no rush.”

“It is urgent. Still, there are people who are dissatisfied with the princess.”

“Then, tell them to be dissatisfied, okay?”

Zanbar sighed heavily and continued, “It’s urgent. Rumors spread that the Princess considers a human child to be her companion.”

“Who is talking like that?”

Zanbar froze as Bella opened her eyes with annoyance.

“I’m being patient because I have Kiehl. Get out of here.”

Hearing that, he stepped back quite a bit. It was because Zanbar knew there was nothing good to touch Bella. But, the rest of the general didn’t know what Kiehl’s existence means to Bella. They did not give in.

“Though it’s not like you’re going to be with an incubus like Fabion!”

“Choose one of us as a companion.”

Just imagining it, goosebumps all over her body, irritability, and anger piled up one after another.

“I said no!”

“Why…!”

“I don’t like it, there’s no reason! Xx! I just hate it!”

When Bella shouted, the whole demon world shook. Nevertheless, the generals chimed in without notice.

“For the sake of the demon world’s order…”

It was only three seconds. The moment Bella inhaled and exhaled her breath…

“This #$%$%, since when did you keep order!”

When she said that, they didn’t even listen to her!

It was the sound of Bella’s reason being cut off.
