Satan.

It was apparent that she wouldn’t be capable to management her expression if Chises introduced up that phrase. As Azela swallowed a gulp and checked out his lips, she prayed that the phrases wouldn’t come out of his mouth.

“Dev…”

“What are you doing there?”

Simply as he was about to say ‘satan,’ her pupils narrowed and was about to tremble barely.

Listening to a voice, she took her eyes off Chises and appeared over his shoulder. Immediately, Zagnac, who had are available in entrance of her and Chises, grabbed and dragged Azela.

“Oh my, Duke Ferial.”

With Zagnac’s look, Chises laughed with an expression of remorse.

Azela, hiding behind Zagnac’s again, unknowingly set free a sigh of aid. At that second, she felt very lucky that he had appeared. As she glanced again to see his face, fortuitously, the satan’s face she noticed via the window had disappeared.

“Absolutely, at the moment, I advised the Emperor that if that occurs, the Imperial Household’s line could also be reduce off, or the Imperial Palace could also be stained with blood.”

“Effectively, settle down. Nothing like that ever occurred.”

Saying so, Chises raised his fingers and continued his speech in a mocking voice, claiming innocence.

“As a result of I by no means kissed or touched Azela’s pores and skin. Oh, and naturally, I didn’t drink both.”

“Your Highness.”

At his guffawing mockery, Zagnac gritted his enamel and known as out to him in a low voice.

Noticing that he was within the temper to kill him immediately, Chises remembered the final incident and hardened his face.

Worry was revealed in his hardened eyes, however he quickly regained his composure. Sure, he’d quite reveal Zagnac’s id right here. It was as a result of there have been folks from Marquis Delter’s residence who would testify right here. Chises smiled intentionally to impress Zagnac.

On the sight, Azela hardened her face. This wasn’t good. When Chises was suspicious of his id, it was not good for Zagnac if he confirmed his true self visibly.

She swiftly grabbed Zagnac.

“It’s okay. Nothing occurred.”

“…Actually?”

“Sure, nothing occurred… ‘but’.”

When she glared at Chises, stressing the phrase ‘but,’ he shrugged his shoulders and smiled at Zagnac whereas saying a small ‘See?’ On the identical time, his eyes flashed at Zagnac as if looking for one thing, making Azela uncomfortable.

“Let’s return.”

She needed to maintain Zagnac away from Chises. Azela tugged at Zagnac’s jacket. Listening to the phrases return, Chises hurriedly approached Zagnac and shook his head.

“Oh, why are you going already? I got here right here to sincerely apologize for what occurred that day. Oh. As an apology, I wish to finance Duke Ferial’s new undertaking. How about that?”

“No want.”

“Oh, you’re rejecting the favor too firmly. I’m dissatisfied.”

Flippantly ignoring his phrases, Zagnac lowered his head earlier than turning round and strolling away with Azela, who appeared uneasy. Chises checked out Zagnac from behind and raised his head to see the daylight pouring down on him.

‘ how properly he was doing underneath the daylight, he’s not a vampire.’

He waved his hand at Zagnac and Azela, erasing one of many many races he had considered.

“See you subsequent time, Duke Ferial.”

Let’s meet rather a lot, fairly often, sooner or later.

Chises smiled brightly.

He hoped that the day would come when he shortly confirmed Zagnac’s id and slit his neck in entrance of all of the folks of the Empire. When that day got here, he would grasp Zagnac’s severed head on the wall the place he might see the mattress, and he would make Azela cry in entrance of him on her personal.

Simply fascinated by it, exhilarating pleasure made Chises’ decrease legs swell as in the event that they have been going to pierce the material of his pants.

“Why are you with the Crown Prince there? I can’t even give him a single blow.”

Zagnac, frowning, spoke in a grunting voice. He was secretly hoping that the subsequent time they met, he would go away a bruise on his face for Azela, who had been via one thing unhealthy.

“If you happen to did that to the Crown Prince of an empire, it could be the dying penalty.”

“Why are you so apprehensive although I’m there?”

“Do you wish to stay alone in a human world with out people?”

“That’s not unhealthy both. It’s simply you and me, that might be enjoyable. It should be like the primary human within the ebook of people.”

Despite the fact that Zagnac spoke in a playful tone and laughed, Azela couldn’t do the identical since Chises started to have doubts. She ought to have managed his expression a little bit higher, however she regretted it. Troubled, she couldn’t assist her frown as she glanced on the man in entrance of her.

“Can devils die, too?”

“So out of the blue?”

“…I’m curious. Do devils have life?”

It was a elementary query. Come to think about it, it wouldn’t matter if he didn’t die. He stated that being a satan was like an individual who ran errands for God, so possibly he wouldn’t die.

Azela requested in a voice filled with anticipation. Nonetheless, the reply didn’t fulfill her.

“In our case, quite than having life, we have now time.”

“Time…”

Zagnac raised his index finger and circled it within the air.

“Life goes on and on like this. As soon as one life is over, there may be one other life, and the subsequent life is over and the subsequent life is ready. Nonetheless, time is totally different.”

“….”

“If time stops, it can’t flip once more. My time simply stops there.”

“Due to this fact… are you saying you could possibly die?”

Zagnac lowered the finger he had lifted into the air and appeared away. Simply then, the carriage was coming. he raised his hand and escorted Azela into the carriage.

The carriage carrying the 2 folks drove out of Marquis Delter’s residence with the sound of wheels. Trying again, she noticed Chises standing in entrance of the principle gate of the mansion, his fingers behind his again, staring on the carriage.

“Are you able to die?”

Chises, Azela urged him to reply. Zagnac, who flicked his finger, replied with a relaxed expression with out a lot emotion.

“Relatively than dying…”

There was an vacancy in his purple eyes. He raised his head in the direction of Azela, however he was staring into the void, not her, exhaling a relaxed breath.

“I’d go extinct.”

“….”

“Nothing left.”

As if a big stone have been being thrown into a relaxed lake, her coronary heart trembled. She thought that there might be no phrase extra terrifying than the phrase dying, however seeing him speaking about extinction, she nearly shed tears.

“What if I stab you within the coronary heart?”

“If there isn’t a life, there may be no coronary heart.”

“…Then?”

“You need to slit my throat.”

Zagnac laughed amusedly as he pretended to chop his throat with a blade. Even speaking about his personal disappearance, he was being so nice.

Azela raised her hand and held his hand.

“What?”

Turning his head and seeing Azela holding his hand, he smiled at her. He appeared to flicker faintly, like a candle about to be extinguished. It was perilous, as if he would quickly disappear with one breath.

“…Don’t disappear.”

“….”

“Till I die… till I disappear, you need to by no means disappear.”

“Is that what you need?”

She didn’t reply his query and solely nodded her head slowly. Zagnac quietly closed his eyes at Azela’s nod. It was so quiet that she apprehensive about what would occur if the closed eyes weren’t opened once more.

He opened his lips very leisurely.

“…Sure. Till you die, till you disappear.”

“….”

“I can’t disappear.”

“It’s a promise.”

The subsequent second, Zagnac burst into laughter, seeing Azela holding his hand and giving her power. The carriage was stuffed with the sound of his laughter.

“Sure, that is the very first thing my contractor desires from me, so I’ve to hear.”

“….”

“Then, don’t cry.”

As he raised his different hand and softly touched Azela’s cheeks, who appeared like she was about to cry, the physique temperature touching her was heat. She lowered her head and pressed her brow into the hand, whispering softly.

“I’m your escort knight.”

“I do know, as a result of I employed you.”

“I’ll defend you.”

…In order that your time wouldn’t cease, so that you simply wouldn’t disappear and in your coronary heart to stay alone.
