CH 56.1

‘What does it mean that the weight is rather different?’

‘No one had really wanted to do anything to both Revenna and Kimaris. So, I don’t even care if you wished to forgive them or not, but this time, everyone really wanted to kill Paimon—no matter what. Unless, the Master himself declared an order to forgive him.’

‘The Demon King himself……’

It was very different from what Lerazier had honestly intended, but thanks to him, Julia thought of a very decisive clue in order to solve the case.

She waited all night for Bael to return back to the castle. She deliberately crouched down right in the central hallway where many demons came and went as she stood by. It was because she already knew that when Bael returned home and saw the empty bedroom, he would immediately proceed to look for her first.

Julia then continued to beg him who had just entered with a rather frightening force—as expected.

‘If you were to forgive Paimon, I would then never step out of bed for a week and I’ll even stay by your side. If you wish, I will also give you a massage and sing for you a lullaby……’

As a result, Julia could achieve what she had truly wanted. Even while she was enduring the somewhat embarrassing misunderstandings between the two as she stood right in front of those many demons.

However, Julia never expected that things would actually escalate further like this. Even Bael had a terribly dumbfounded look painted all over his face.

“Julia, Paimon is really bored.”

Julia didn’t get out of bed as what had been promised. Instead, Paimon simply followed her inside. He then burrowed himself between Julia and Bael while making his own self get cradled in her arms, seemingly unwilling to let go even for just a single moment.

“Out.”

“No, I don’t want to.”

“I’m telling you to get out right this instant…”

“De, Demon King.”

Julia was startled before she grabbed a hold of Bael’s arm. She could see that he was very uncomfortable, but it still didn’t mean that he could just drive away the small child who was purely snuggling in search of warmth. She then patted Paimon on the shoulder before continuing her words.

“The bed is so wide after all. I’ll speak to him properly so that he won’t interfere with the Demon King’s rest. Will that be alright?”

“Are you going to kick Paimon out? Will you be throwing Paimon away?”

“No. The Demon King is extremely tired, so let’s just be quiet for a while.”

“Can’t you go out and play with Paimon then? Isn’t it very frustrating to simply stay in the nest? Master would have preferred us to go out as well.”

“…”

Bael’s brow instantly crumpled in displeasure. Paimon stuck out his tongue as he looked at the King, but Julia, who had been unaware of what was happening around her, softly whispered in the boy’s ear.

“It’s because the Demon King can only sleep comfortably when I’m right by his side.”

“Paimon is very different from Master. Paimon likes Julia even if you are not the key or possess any magic resistance. Paimon likes you the most in the whole world.”

“I like Paimon the most too.”

“Really?”

The boy’s angelic face immediately brightened up. As the tail, which had not yet transformed into that of a human part due to the previous major injury, swayed violently like a dog’s tail before a cute sound leaked throughout the entire bedroom.

In the end, Julia could not stand it any longer and kissed Paimon on the cheek.

“Why are you so cute, huh?”

“Hehe.”

Then, a strong forearm proceeded to coil around Julia’s waist. His palms went down along the curve of her side as he kneaded her flat stomach before sliding slowly down towards her lower body. Before he could reach in between her legs, Julia captured a hold of Bael’s wrist in a flash.

She looked back at him with such resentful eyes, but Bael simply twisted the corners of his mouth as if he was asking what had been wrong instead.

“If you can’t fulfill your promise, then I have no other choice but to take it all my way.”

“But now, uht…”

“Demons are very good at counting. If you really want to break your promise, you’d better be prepared for the price.”

His palms began to dig into the inside of her thighs while gripping tightly against her soft, white thighs. As she could barely swallow her moans, she became restless that Paimon might have found her strange and simply bit her lips without uttering a single word in response.

The boy’s eyes seemed to have grown sharp for an instant, but he just smiled and clung onto Julia’s neck as if everything would soon melt away.

“Do you want Paimon to tell you about the west where Paimon had been living? Aren’t you curious about that?”

“Uh, ung! I am curious.”

It was a good opportunity to divert his attention. Besides, she was also quite curious about the sort of western land where Paimon had been living alone, so she quickly nodded her head. Then, the boy proceeded to speak in an excited voice.

“The west, where Paimon was born, is actually a land of fire. The energy of fire is so strong that it can easily catch fire here and there. Everything has already burned down, so there are no animals or even plants there.”

“Did Paimon burn it all down? Did you want to retain its original appearance?”

“No, not Paimon, the Mountain of Death had been the one that burned it.”

Julia tilted her head. She thought that Paimon was actually trying to show off how beautiful the western land had been or even the things that could be seen, but the story that Paimon brought out was far from that. As she listened to his words, it seemed like an inferno, but Paimon’s expression had appeared to be very proud.

And amongst them, the thing that Paimon really wanted to boast the most about appeared to be the Mountain of Death itself.
