At that moment, a sound broke through the numerous sounds and tickled Bellaâs ear.
âBella.â
It was Kiehlâs voice.
While she paused for a moment, the bandit was frightened and immediately turned around and ran away.
âWhat was I thinking nowâŠ?â
Bella shook the sword in her hand as she lowered it slowly.
âWhy did you keep him alive?â
Zanbar, who was quietly appreciating from the tree, stopped clapping his hands.
âMissâŠ?â
Bella did not respond to Zanbarâs words, but turned her back and approached Kiehl instead. Kiehl, covered with the bandages and only had one eye barely open, was exhaling his breath and calling out Bellaâs name.
âAre you okay? Are you awake?â
At her question, Kiehl nodded his head weakly.
âWhat did those bastards do to you?â
As Bella looked around his body in tears, Iwer answered slowly.
âItâs okay. Itâs okay, heâs specialâŠâ
Iwer was lying next to Kiehl and moaning.
âMi..ssâŠhelp meâŠâ
As soon as Bella grabbed the sword on her back, she felt a burning pain in her palm.
âWow, what is this?â
It was with divine power. Like the rope hanging in front of the door. Bella had never dealt with anything with divine powers.
âThose bastards make only useless thingsâŠâ
When the sword was removed, Bellaâs palm had turned black as if she had been burned.
As time goes by, she will recover, though she probably wonât recover easily because itâs a divine thing.
<b>***</b>
âIwer, are you okay?â
âIâŠI think Iâll be fine if I just eat one man.â
Bella nodded her head as she was repeatedly folding and unfolding her numb hand.
âI see.â
Fortunately, Kiehl was only dazed by Iwerâs blood, but he didnât appear to have been seriously injured.
âDid they think that Kiehl was also a dream demon and stab him?â
He had a few puncture marks, but it looked like he had been given first aid immediately. Because of this pretty face, she remembered the setting that he had experienced things that were difficult to put into words in the original book from a young age.
Bella just sighed bitterly.
âBella⊠are you okay?â
âHuh?â
Kiehl asked in a trembling voice with his eyes wet.
âHe must have been scared. Look at him worrying about me.â
She tried to wipe Kiehlâs tears but lowered her hand when she saw someone elseâs blood on her hands.
âIâm fine. Didnât I say? The Princess of the Animal Kingdom is powerful.â
Then, Zanbar slammed the door open.
âMiss, I think itâs a bit settled, Iâll bring Jenkins.â
âWeâre going there. Weâre going to buy weapons for our original purposeâŠâ
At that, Bella stopped and looked around.
âNo. Letâs just rob this place. Itâs annoying.â
âThen, JenkinsâŠâ
âTake all the weapons here and go to JenkinsâŠâ
Before she could finish speaking, Zanbar began to pick up a weapon nearby.
âAhh!â
Hearing the sound of the holy sword hitting the ground, Zanbar looked at Bella with bewildered leopard eyes.
âHey, you canât hold it. Just take three or four swords from the dead bandits.â
âYes!â
âAnd, there was money and valuables in the next room. Take that as well.â
âYes!â
As soon as the situation seemed to have settled down to some extent, the door swung open again, and Iwer came in with a bewitching pose.
âTa-da! Iwerâs back.â
âYou⊠you look fine.â
âIf the Miss is tired, too, go out and eat.â
Bella sighed and wiped her bloody hands on her clothes.
âAh, forget it.â
She rebuked Iwer with a frown on her face.
âHmm. When you look at it like this, you donât look like a real animal kingdom princess.â
âQuiet.â
Bella knew now what she needed most.
Celestial races and demons have nicknames of light and shadow in the world, but the reality is a little different. So, the standard of being good and evil is the standard set by the celestial race. Celestial races gain power based on order, and demons follow order based purely on power.
âThough there is no order.â
And, that power mostly flowed from the lives of others. Demons were accustomed to taking other peopleâs lives by themselves.
Hence, what Bella needs the mostâŠ
It was human blood and flesh.
âI was a police officer in a previous life⊠No matter how I am in a novel, I canât become a cannibal.â
Anyway, as time passed, the magic remaining in the human world would gradually accumulate and recover.
<b>***</b>
Bella slowly approached the holy sword and picked it up again. Her palms still hurt as though they were burning.
When the light shines, the darkness disappears, and when the darkness is dyed by the light, the light loses its light.
Although she was not yet an adult, and although she was human, it was absorbing Bellaâs magical powers like a black hole.
âI donât know what kind of crazy celestial race this was, but he must have made it by putting on his life.â
There was a temple nearby, so it must have come from there.
âIsnât it funny that something like this is easily stolen by bandits?â
They returned to the carriage full of money and were quite exhausted.
âI donât think I need to go to Daisy. The swords I picked for some reason seem to be in good shape.â
âYou seem to have been hit hard, but it seems that you will recover quickly.â
There was no space to put the luggage separately, so Iwer drove the carriage with weapons and money on the driverâs seat.
âItâs eventful, really.â
Bella let out a long sigh and pointed the holy sword to Kiehlâs left.
âKiehl. Would you like to hold that?â
Maybe it was because the sword was a holy thing, and when Kiehl caught it, it looked like a halo was shining from behind.
âUm⊠Kiehl. Iâll give it to you in advance as a birthday present this year.â
The novel has a lot of power to move on to the original story. Instead of a pendant that has lost its divine power, maybe it will help Kiehlâs life as a prince in the future.
Zanbar looked puzzled at Bellaâs words, and then said,
âMiss. Are you giving him what you picked up as a gift?â
âI picked it up on the way here. I found it.â
âWhat the hell is that? You donât give gifts that you pick up on the street.â
Jenkins looked at Zanbar and muttered.
âLiesâŠâ
Bella knew what Jenkins was saying to her, and she looked at him with her arms crossed. âJenkins. What did you say?â
âIt seems a little too big for the young master to handle.â
âI got it, but I donât need to throw it away, right?â
âItâs a complete piece of garbageââ
âGuys, Iâm very annoyed today. Shut up.â
<b>***</b>
It was embarrassing to be attacked by a bandit, but they gained quite a lot. Once they sold the valuables, they had quite a bit of money.
Besides, Bella has come up with a trick to get a steady income.
In fact, when the money ran out, she thought that she should sell bear bile because Pur is a bear. Something even better than that was right in front of her.
âIwer, can you make a love potion with your blood?â
Higher level demons were able to make it in large quantities with little fatigue.
Seeing that the ghosts attached to this mansion in the past also worked hard to make love potions, they are clearly sold in the market, so itâs probably not illegal.
When she started selling it to the magic shop in town, she was able to put my money worries away.
<b>***</b>
And, most importantly, Kiehlâs sword practice.
Bella set up a scarecrow in the garden so that Kiehl could practice the sword.
âShall we find a talented teacher?â
As Jenkins spoke, she nodded her head. âYes. Donât worry about that. Just teach him the basics. Jenkins, do you know how to do that?â
Bella asked, scanning Jenkins up and down.
âYou were so helpless last, I couldnât believe it.â
âMiss. At that time, the group that attacked us was thirty, thirty.â
âTeach the basics for nowâhow to hold a sword. Discuss with Zanbar and take care of physical training as well.â
ââŠWith Sir Zanbar?â
As Jenkins froze, Bella crossed her arms and clicked her tongue.
âWhy, donât you like it? Get along for a bit.â
<b>***</b>
And so, Kiehlâs routine got busier and busier.
When he wakes up in the morning, he starts with training, and after lunch, he always studies with Jenkins.
Then, swordsmanship practice.
âI mean, itâs really strange that things happen unexpectedly.â
Kiehl stared blankly at Bella watering the flowers in the garden.
âEven when I first cameâŠâ
In order not to be thrown away, he had tried to receive plenty of adoration from the powerhouse of this mansion. But, he doesnât seem to have put a lot of effort into it.
Suddenly, he became Bellaâs favorite. So, fortunately now, he didnât seem to need to try to win her favor with his cuteness.
Kiehl approached Bella slowly.
âBella.â
âHuh? Whatâs wrong?â
âThis is what Iwer gave me to eatâŠâ He said, breaking the cookie he was holding in his hand and showed it to Bella.
âLetâs eat together.â
He grabbed the piece of snack with his fingers and brought it close to Bellaâs mouth.
âAh~ Do itâAh.â
Bella smiled, opened her mouth, took the cookie, and ate it happily.
Surely, he wouldnât have to work this hard, but Kiehlâs strangely couldnât stop.
<b>***</b>
The small and tickling daily life flowed quickly, and snow began to slowly pile up on the top of the mountain behind.
Bella thought, carefully examining the notes she had prepared beforehand.
âThe time has come for us to meet her.â
In the novel, she was the person Kiehl had to meet around this age.
Myu is the girlfriend who strengthens the relationship between Rosanne and Kiehl. It was a relationship that started when Kiehl was eleven or twelve years old, Kiehl was meant to hand out a slice of bread in the cold winter.
Kiehl canât remember, but Myu remembered that pretty face clearly.
So, she considered Kiehl to be her friend, and so did the female lead, Rosanne.
She misunderstands the identity of the two at first, though as the novel progresses, she becomes the person who supports their love more than anyone else.
Hence, in the end, even if Bella ignores other settings, she could not ignore âMyu.â
âBy the way, where is this Myu?â
Winter came soon, and no matter how much she searched, there was no place to meet. At that time, the words the team leader had spoken in her previous life ran through her head.
âHey. If it doesnât work, you have to run on your feet.â
âYeah. Letâs run with our feet.â

Bella pulled a fluffy coat from her closet and put it on with a pounding heart as if she were doing an investigation.

She was nervous, but she has to find it herself.
âTrust Jenkins, letâs empty it out.â
Even when Bella left her place, the demons in the mansion only knew how to enjoy freedom without Bella for a long time.
