“That’s why. Help me find Tia. Ian.”
“Why do you have to find her?”
“I have to find Tia, because that’s the only way I can have freedom. I’m like a prisoner in a luxurious prison right now. I want to leave quietly somewhere, but I can’t.”
“I don’t understand. Do Charlize’s brothers care so much about her?”
Charlize answered Ian’s absurdly funny words, with a stiffened face.
“My brothers don’t like me. But they care about my sister, Tia. Very much.”
“……I don’t think so. Your brothers have even commissioned a very famous guild to kill my Father to save you.”
What nonsense.
Charlize frowned.
Then suddenly, she remembered about her brothers who had not come to see her recently.
Have they been planning on killing Lua all this time?
‘If they take Lua away from me, do they think I’ll be nice to them? Ha!’
Otherwise, a Demon Hunter would not have come to the house of Duke of Rebecca.
“Please deceive my brothers well. Ian, so that the deal with you formed with me can go well.”
“Of course, Charlize. Please help me become a human being too.”
Charlize and Ian are now traders.
In fact, only Eugene and Jeremy, who requested Ian to kill Lua, were stupid.
Ian kissed the back of Charlize’s hand briefly and disappeared.
And Lua immediately began to question Charlize for the first time.
“Charlize, are you really going to die?”
“Even if I die, I’ll come back alive. As long as there are my brothers.”
“What should I do if Charlize really dies?”
“Go back to the old days. Be a devil and take away the evil energy of humans. That was Lua’s daily life before he met me.”
“…but.”
Charlize patted Lua’s back, who was full of worries for her and whispered.
“I’m a useless extra in this world. So don’t worry about it. Lua.”
Lua’s opened mouth closed automatically at Charlize’s bitter voice.
“I’m fine. Everything is fine, so don’t worry.”
For the first time in his life for more than a thousand years, Lua felt a sense of fear.

Jeremy visited Ian early the next morning.
Knock, knock, knock.
He knocked on the door of the guest room where Ian was staying.
“Ian. Are you sleeping?”
The door opened and Ian stood as he was yesterday.
“I don’t sleep. Hunters don’t sleep much in the first place.”
“Oh, I see. I want you to save my sister, Charlize today as written in the request.”
“Yes, of course.”
Ian answered well with a placid look.
Keeping his deal with Charlize a secret.
“Charlize stays in her room all the time. She doesn’t even come out that much. It’s all because of that devil. If it had not been for that devil, Charlize would not have changed so much.”
“…That devil. Young Master must not like the devil.”
“I don’t want to like the devil who killed my Mother.”
“I see.”
It was astonishing how Ian, a bloodline of the devil, had the audacity to deceive Jeremy and hide the power of evil within him.
That’s because the real Holy Sword Ian wears around his waist has eliminated the power of evil to some extent.
“Let’s hurry to Charlize’s room and kill the devil.”
“If the devil had been killed easily, other low-level hunters would have come forward before me.”
“Then how long do I have to wait?”
“Let’s go to her room today. My sword will be able to suppress the power of the devil. The powerless devil will die on his own.”
“Then do I just wash my hands and wait for the devil to die on his own?”
“The Great Devil is not someone who will die easily. I don’t think that’s the only way. When he loses his power, I’ll injure him with my Holy Sword so that he can die faster.”
“Okay, let’s go to Charlize’s for now.”
“Yes.”
Ian, who had already met Charlize, followed Jeremy by lying to humans like any devil.
With a face that he really doesn’t know anything.
Jeremy would probably be stunned to learn the truth.
When he finds out that this is all Charlize’s plan.
Jeremy walked swiftly to Charlize’s room, and opened the door without knocking.
Charlize welcomed Jeremy without being embarrassed.
“Oh, Brother Jeremy. It’s been a long time.”
Charlize sat on the bed, and Lua’s head lay on her lap.
Jeremy, who did not like this soft atmosphere, stared at Lua and clenched his trembling hands.
All he could do was express his resentment this way.
How can a human being tame a demon so much?
“Charlize, do you know who I brought?”
“Who is it? Am I supposed to welcome them? Or did you bring Tia?”
“I have brought a hunter who can kill the demon cub you have.”
“A hunter?”
“Yes. I’m never going to let you end up like Mother.”
“Brother Jeremy hated me so much and was annoyed at my mere presence. But what kind of mother-like protection are you showing now? You know it’s very disgusting, right?”
“I can’t help it. It’s the only way to save you, Charlize. Now, Ian. Get the Holy Sword out and get rid of that devil’s power.”
“Yes.”
At that moment, Charlize and Ian’s eyes met for a moment and then averted.
The play began.
It’s a play that Charlize transcripted.
Ian passed Jeremy and stood in front of Charlize. Suddenly, he shouted at Jeremy.
“The situation is very dangerous. A human possessed by a demon is now becoming a demon.”
Charlize quietly nodded, thinking, “Ian is really good. He does well on his own without waiting for me to give him the script. Hurry up and say it.”
Ian, who took the sign, went on.
“I think I should kill your sister first. The devil will turn your sister into a demon.”
“Wh, what do you mean?”
“Young Master. To simply put, it means that the devil ate your sister.”
“Charlize was eaten by that devil?”
“The situation where humans are eaten by demons is seen very, very rarely, even by Demon Hunters themselves. One of them is Young Master’s sister.”
“So you’re saying Charlize has become a demon now?”
“Not completely, but half transformed. In this case, there is only one way.”
“What’s the way?”
“Before she becomes a complete demon, I have to kill your sister as a demon.”
“Kill? Charlize?”
“Yes, that’s the only way.”
“Does killing mean killing completely? Like she wouldn’t breathe anymore?”
“Yes, that’s the only way.”
“No way!”
Jeremy gave his hands strength to the point where he almost tore off his head in anger.
Nothing is working out.
Not at all.
‘Charlize, why are you driving people so crazy?’
Jeremy wanted to save Charlize from the devil.
No, he wanted to take the devil off Charlize.
To do that, he had to kill Charlize.
It was an inevitable choice.
He would be able to save her with his Mother’s will anyway.
Charlize, it will only hurt a little.
You can do that.
It’s all right. I’ll help you.
Jeremy, who was gradually consumed with madness by Charlize, finally gave orders to Ian.
“Kill Charlize.”
“Yes.”
Ssiirkk.
Ian slowly pulled out the sword.
The end of the sword was naturally directed at Charlize.
Lua couldn’t stop the situation. He was just an audience.
Jeremy couldn’t understand why the devil was sitting still, but he was so overwhelmed by the thought of saving Charlize from the devil that he didn’t put much thought into it.
“I will kill her at once.”
“Charlize, it will just hurt a little for a moment. I’ll save you, by all means.”
Jeremy said Charlize with a worried look. She only looked at Ian and smiled, wondering if he could understand any of her older brother’s words.
Ian inserted the sword into Charlize’s heart and waited till the sign of Charlize’s death before immediately pulling it out.
Thud!
Charlize collapsed on her side, coughing up blood.
Lua was holding himself with clenched teeth and trembled at Charlize’s enormous blood.
‘I can’t go crazy. I’ve got to put up with it for Charlize.’
Lua endured, covering his trembling hands behind his back.
For Charlize.
“Cough, Brother Jeremy is a fool, cough.”
Charlize laughed briefly at Jeremy’s stupid face that was facing her.
“Please let me go, I beg you.”
Charlize’s last words before her death were disastrous.
Let me go.
As if begging.
Ian wiped the blood that poured out of Charlize’s mouth, with the back of his hand and slightly licked it with his tongue.
It was delicious because it was blood filled with evil energy.
“Charlize, Charlize? Are you dead?”
Jeremy ran to Charlize, who closed her eyes, put his index finger on her nose to see if she was alive or dead.
“That’s why. Help me find Tia. Ian.”
“Why do you have to find her?”
“I have to find Tia, because that’s the only way I can have freedom. I’m like a prisoner in a luxurious prison right now. I want to leave quietly somewhere, but I can’t.”
