Chapter 750: Lovely You-III

Ian continued to talk with Elise's grandfather. If it was in the past, he wouldn't bother with people but this was different. 

Ian never understand the meaning of having acquaintance with people around him. It was because he knew how hard it would be to be loosing a friend around him. The only person he had befriended with was Maroon as he was like him, would never die.

It changed now as Elise's family was as important to him as it is to her. Raziel had proofed by far to be the most rational person in comparison to Satan. He was awkward when holding Aleksander and Declan but his expression tells more than it needed of his ultimate joy for being with the children. 

"I will try," Raziel then said and looked at him, "To talk with Elise one more time."

A grin appeared to Ian's lips, "She would be overjoyed when I tell her this."

Raziel then spend a few more minutes with the babies before pushing himself from the chair. His hand softly hovered over Declan's face where the baby held his finger tightly with his entire fingers, making Raziel's heart to melt from sweetness.

As he was about to leave reluctantly, Raziel's white wings spread wide over his back, "I take it that you are not worried over Declan's future?"

"He is a special little one, I know but I was also as special as him when I was younger. I can teach him the ropes on who he should use his power against."

Raziel hummed, "However, you shouldn't teach that only to Declan," his golden eyes then fell over Aleksander, "Your first boy and second boy have more power than anyone could ever imagine. Their potential is bright but you should know that brightness could bring shadow."

Ian watched as the man leave before looking at his two sons. "Well, no matter how you two became, I'm sure you would be alright."

Back in Beelzebub's mansion, Esther woke up feeling sore around her hips. She opened her eyes and pulled her legs, not knowing her legs was intertwined with Beelzebub's under the sheets. 

She snuggled and tried to pull her leg softly away from him but as she tried and realized she couldn't, Esther decided to stop and enjoy the moment by snuggling on his chest, feeling his calm heartbeat and warmth.

"It's a perfect morning," Beelzebub's deep voice tickled her ears, causing her smile to widened as she lifted her chin to meet his eyes. "Good morning, Esther."

"Good morning, Noe," she replied. It was their favorite time to call each other by their names when they were alone. Esther felt happy as she could call his true name without hindered by fear that someone could overhear to his name as his name could bring him danger.

"You want to leave already?" Beelzebub teased, "Last night, the time we share together was short. Stay here longer with me."

Esther's cheeks reddened. His words never fail to make her heart race, "We stayed in the room from three in the afternoon to one at night. Was it not enough for you?"

Beelzebub brought her head closer where his lips could settle on her cheeks, "If you are talking about whether we haven't have enough sex yet and I would say yes. If you are talking of whether I haven't have enough of you staying beside me, I will tell you that even if we are together for a hundred of years, it will still not be enough."

Esther rolled her eyes toward him, "You would always say so many words unashamedly."

"Do you mean sex?" Beelzebub grinned wider, "What's wrong with the word sex? Isn't it a normal world that we— adults use? Are you shying away?"

Esther felt his words slowly slipping to the corners of her hearts. 

"Or is it because the way I utter the word turn you on, Esther?"

Esther who couldn't bear the embarrassment raised her hand and covered his mouth at once. She frowned and glared all at the same time, "Can you please let me rest for today? I am tired."

Beelzebub stared at her and she wondered if he would easily agree. To her surprise, he replied with and easy nod, "Of course. Today let us spend our time to relax."

Esther agreed to spending their time doing nothing after what they had gone through. Beelzebub's soul had became stable but she was still worried there were unhealed scars on his souls that would affect him.

They spent their afternoon eating a grand choices of foods, taking a walk on the garden before ending to snuggling with each other while reading a single book which Beelzebub held. His arms were circled around her and cozily as they read the book together.

Wrapped with the duvet, they were both in a warmth they don't want to separate each other from.

They then heard a knock and Beelzebub, albeit reluctant went after Esther convinced him to and opened the door to see Venervy.

"What's the matter?" He questioned after seeing Venervy's fidgety attitude.

"Lord Beelzebub, can I ask you for a request?" Venervy asked, finding Esther who walked behind Beelzebub and showed a smile.

"What kind?" Beelzebub didn't agree but gave his consent on weighing to help her.

"It is not for me entirely but Dalton."

"Oh!" Esther gasped. How can she forgot the promise she made with Dalton?! "Beel, can I ask you to help Dalton as well? I made a promise to him."

Beelzebub raised one of his eyebrows as the two women asked for help that wasn't for them, "What kind of help? He asked again.

"He wish to meet his brother's soul. Just for once," Esther explained. "There are still unresolved conversation that I think those brothers needed to talk out with each other."

"I would help because you requested and promised to him but the matter is not about helping or not helping," he explained. "His soul had been destroyed. That was what Raziel did in order to end the deepest darkness inside him. Even if we could find his soul, it would be in scattered pieces that we could barely recover."

"Is there really no way?" Venervy asked with a clear desperation.

Beelzebub hummed with a frown between his eyebrows. Seeing Esther's pleading eyes which he was weak against, a sigh passed from his lips, "I have a way but do not expect much from it."
