“What are you doing?”

“I just wanted to bite you. You don’t like it?”

Lua hesitated and turned his head.

“……I don’t hate it. Rather, if Charlize touches me, I can be stronger-“

“Lua.”

Charlize, who interrupted Lua, called him.

“What?”

“We are business partners. You can’t love me. Then the future will be very miserable.”

Usually, if she were possessed by romance fantasy novels, the female lead says these things a lot.

I will never love you.

Well, then there were so many novels where the female lead fell in love with the male lead and had a happy ending.

But Charlize was a little different.

Love is heartbreaking, so let’s not do it.

“Human beings are easily possessed by demons and fall in love quickly. Charlize, Can you really not love me?”

Charlize smiled broadly at the provocative remarks.

“I’ll do my best not to. We’re business partners. You should never have feelings for me. Don’t act emotionally if I’m killed by someone someday.”

Despite Charlize’s coercive orders, Lua smiled enchantingly and kissed her lips.

A long kiss seemed to want to follow, but Lua took off his lips first. Then he whispered in a low-pitched voice.

“Yes, I will do as Charlize says.”

Charlize smiled softly, twisting his sky blue hair with her index finger at Lua’s answer.

That was a very good answer.

Charlize secretly listened to the male protagonists’ secret meetings and welcomed them who had already entered her room.

“Hello, everyone. What’s going on? Why did everyone come into my room without permissio Are you here to see the devil I raise? Rumors spread quickly.”

“…Devil?”

Harrison questioned and looked at Lua sitting next to Charlize. Harrison, facing Lua’s gray eyes, frowned Lua’s arrogant eyes.

“What the hell is going on, Charlize?”

Jude shook his head at the word ‘devil’. Charlize grinned at his upset reaction.

“What’s going on? It’s nothing special. I’m just showing you that I have the devil in my hand who was going to destroy the world a long time ago? What’s wrong with you, Jude?”

“………Devil is something to be eliminated from this world. That’s a fact that even a child knows. Moreover, a contract with the devil is an act that goes against the logic of the world. Charlize, are you really out of your mind?”

At Jude’s questioning, Charlize yawned.

Perhaps she didn’t want to hear it, but Charlize was fiddling with her nails. Her attention was completely on something else. Jude was choked up by her reaction to completely ignoring him.

“At least pretend to listen when a person talks, Charlize. You still have that annoying thing about you.”

Charlize answered without looking at Jude.

“That’s the only thing I’ve heard from my brothers several times already. Can you say something different? If you want to peel me that much, peel me differently.”

Jude was so angry that he tried to approach Charlize to say something, but Louis blocked Jude.

“Being angry with Charlize means losing to her. So hang in there, Jude.”

“…… damn it.”

Jude stepped back with a swear word he didn’t usually say.

Louis, who was looking back, turned and approached Charlize.

“What brings Louis to me? Someone who’s like a vulnerable little animal who’s always been staring at me from behind.”

“I’m not here to hear your sarcasm. You know that, don’t you? What we want.”

“I know it well, but why do you keep coming to me to listen? I told you I don’t know where Tia is. Still, I vaguely know the day Tia will come back.”

“I heard it’s three years from now. You want me to believe that?”

Louis asked, showing that he genuinely disliked Charlize. Charlize just shrugged her shoulders.

“I had a precognitive dream. It’s a fantastic precognitive dream. A dream where Tia will be back in three years.”

“Are you telling me to believe in your precognitive dream?”

“It’s up to you to believe, but please don’t peck me around like this. I’m starting to get bored.”

Louis almost exclaimed how that damn thing was the same and unchanging. Charlize thought of a thing to make fun of Louis who respects himself too much.

Lua, Louis*.


[T/N: Louis’ name in Korea is (Luya) 루야 and Lua’s name is (Lua) 루아. But I followed the previous translator and didn’t change Louis’ name. Please comment if you want me to change his name to RAWS.]

Similar names.

Charlize wanted to make fun of Louis, who had a name similar to the name of the devil she was raising. She was bored, and she thought it would be time to make fun of the people who were only hostile to her.

“Luoa.”

“Yes?”

“Why are you calling me?”

“Hahaha, Louis must have been mistaken because they have similar names. My devil’s name is Lua. Not Louis, ah.”

“Lua, what? His name? Why is it similar to my name?”

“Don’t be so arrogant. Lua is a devil who has lived thousands of years. It’s not something that Louis, who just became an adult, can argue about. So what if the names are similar? He’s nicer and more friendly.”

“You, the damn thing!”

Louis told Jude not to be angry, but he became angry at Charlize.

Charlize’s lips rose.

“Why are you getting angry? Pathetic.”

Charlize had nothing to do after going to prison. In addition, she was in a situation where she gained confidence because she had this side.

John, who was silently watching this situation, finally opened his mouth.

“Then, Charlize, do you intend to find Tia? Do you intend to cooperate with us?”

Charlize put her hand on her chin, pretending to be thinking for a moment, and quickly gave an answer.

“Of course. I’m looking for Tia right now.”

John treated Charlize more amicably than others, saying, “Then let’s share information.”

“Of course. Isn’t sharing information essential? It’s up to me to find Tia, who doesn’t come out even if you search all over the continents. Your Majesty said so. Why aren’t you looking for Tia? So I thought about it. I realized that I have to find my sister because I’m the older sister.”

Harrison turned his head nervously to Charlize, who suddenly mentioned him. Maybe he didn’t like his story coming out of her mouth.

John was slightly surprised by Charlize’s positive reaction.

Wasn’t she a bad sister who only bothers Tia? Did the sun come up wrong today?

John was thinking for a while, and then wondered why Charlize was stepping out to find Tia herself. Because he knew humans don’t change so easily.

“By the way, Charlize. You don’t like Tia. What kind of change of heart do you have for trying to find Tia yourself?”

Charlize answered, stretching her arms up on her weary shoulders.

“Tia needs to come back so I can leave. So I’d like to cooperate. With you, who I hate the most.”

Charlize’s bomb-like remarks forced everyone in the room to open their eyes wide and panic.

It was because they never dreamed that she would try to find Tia so passionately.

“So can you all get out of here? I’d like to take a nap with Lua. And it’s okay to come every day, but please don’t bother me. Especially, Your Majesty. You talk too much.”

“…that, really.”

Harrison felt bad for Charlize, but now that he did. It was proof that he was getting used to her.

Harrison got goosebumps when he learned that his feelings were getting dull because of Charlize.

‘If this keeps going, our mutual animosity with Charlize will end. It gives me goosebumps.’

Harrison snorted and stepped out of Charlize’s room first, glaring at her before leaving.

Charlize felt a sense of joy as those troublesome things leaving her room went quietly and quickly.

‘Oh, I feel like the male characters are trampled under my feet. Not bad. I’m actually feeling better.’

Charlize looked up at the ceiling with a devilish grin.

‘Today is a very pleasant day.’

On this dark day when Charlize was preparing for rain, she felt good for the first time.



***



Gathering again in Theus, they once again began discussing. It was to discuss how to trust Charlize because she had a demon with her.

Harrison put his mouth on an ice cup containing a strong vodka with a bitter look on his face. It seemed that he did not want to cooperate with Charlize at first sight. But he started talking first.

“Do you believe what Charlize said?”

“There’s nothing to believe.”

John answered insensitively. Harrison’s mind was torn at the tone of utter indifference.
