Chapter 45

Liar (2) – unedited

As Raynon cast his spell, he felt a halo surround him and the space shifted. Now, along with the sound of the trumpet, the musicians prepared for Kayle will resound.

“…….”

But even after waiting for a long time, there was no sound of a trumpet, let alone a whistle. There was no applause from the demons who lined up at the entrance of the Demon King’s Castle.

When he slowly opened his eyes, he was still at Sezaine.

“What, what happened?”

Before, he just looked straight ahead at the house where Kayle lives at the foot of the mountain, now he was able to look down at it from the roof. As proof of that, he can see the human woman left alone down there. Raynon’s eyes widened in bewilderment.

Kayle stood right next to him, looking at the human woman with the saddest eyes of the world.

“… Demon King?”

Even if he called, Kayle didn’t even look at him, and his whole mind was focused on the human woman.

A human woman stands there blankly and rubs her eyes with her hands. Her shoulders were shaking as if she was crying.

Raynon didn’t feel any emotion when he saw her, but when he saw Kayle, he fell backwards and almost fainted. Tears welled up in Kayle’s eyes as well.

“Oh my God.”

The sight of Kayle looking at the human woman with wet eyes shining came as a shock to Raynon.

Has he ever seen Kayle weep during the two thousand years of serving by his side? No, absolutely never.

As long as he had lived for a long time, many bad things happened to him as well. Even when he was betrayed by his trusted subordinates, and many demons lost their lives in the war with the heavenly people, Kayle expressed his sorrow with reticent anger. Of course, the price of sorrow was their lives.

The important thing here is that there has never been a time when the Demon King was so sad to end up in tears like this.

Raynon felt dizzy, and he pressed his forehead.

When the human woman, who had been standing for a while, entered the house, Pierre appeared.

‘This is trouble!’

A danger signal rang in Raynon’s head. In the first place, that human woman was something they shouldn’t have touched.

It is only now that he can feel how deep Kayle’s feelings were for her. He shouted loudly to stop Pierre, but his voice didn’t come out properly.

“Raynon Kush Frabre.”

A low-pitched voice, deeper than the darkness, penetrated his body. Raynon knelt down on his knees and bowed his head in front of him. The Demon King Kaylehartz reigned in front of him in his original form, without any human form filled with emotion.

‘His memory didn’t disappear.’

Changing the teleport coordinates cast by high-ranking demons in the middle was impossible except for the Demon King. The strong magical energy emanating from Kayle’s body was present within him, in an immeasurable amount, as Raynon had remembered before.

“Did you think I wouldn’t be able to read the same tricks from you guys?”

Kayle’s question was not answered by Raynon. No, he couldn’t answer. It was because his voice was sealed and not a single word could come out.

“Pierre had been displeased with Saint Serdebella before.”

“…….”

“At that time, I pretended not to know, but this time he picked the wrong opponent. He doesn’t even know his place.”

The weeds that were blown away by the wind turned to ashes and crumbled. Silent fury engulfed the moonlight, and darkness shrouded in fear met its master and flourished. It seemed as if light was allowed only in the red eyes blazing in the dark surroundings.

Raynon was enveloped in a feeling that his heart would burst and disappear just by facing the wrath of the Demon King Kaylehartz head-on. In front of Kayle, who possesses absolute power, he could not seem more pathetic as he had put the words of annihilated in his mouth without knowing her place.

Who dares to annihilate this overbearing being?

Raynon remembered that those red eyes were on Pierre when Pierre couldn’t hide his murderous from Erina. He should have noticed then. He knew that he had to stop opening the gates of hell by his own misjudgment and bow his head.

Kayle took a few steps towards Raynon. He lowered his eyes and looked at Raynon’s terrified body.

“Are you ready for it, Raynon?”

But it will not be annihilation.

In Kayle’s absence, Raynon, who was in charge of all the affairs of the Demon King’s Castle, was gaining trust from Kayle. He knew instinctively that Kayle would not annihilate him here. Also, Pierre. After all, they were the few high-ranking nobles who had Kayle’s faith.

They would simply be punished. But the punishment would be more terrible than annihilation.

Raynon acted courteous and stood his body upright before Kayle and knelt down on his knees. No matter what he imagined, more pain would engulf his body, but Raynon was prepared to accept it calmly.

When Kayle raised his index finger and drew it in the air, a red line shone for an instant, and Pierre’s limbs were torn apart with a crackling sound. It is better to be torn apart like this at once than to be separated one by one.

Raynon’s deformed torso bent. The blood ran and wet the roof. It was pouring down like rain through the slanted crevices.
