Chapter 64 – Why Are You So Ignorant

Bella enjoyed good clothes, good food, and the fresh blue sky for a few days.

‘As expected… I can’t live five thousand years without seeing this.’

As it went on, her hopes for ‘complete as the original story’ grew. She once wanted to give up on this novel and would laugh with Kiehl’s and watch his old age.

Half a year before the novel began, Bella had turned into the cat, lounging near the Imperial Palace, waiting for Kiehl. He entered the Imperial Palace half a year early. So, if the trip started half a year earlier, everything would be twisted in the end.

It was then that she had really given up on this novel and wanted to run to Kiehl.

‘…I was really out of my mind.’

The underworld that she experienced for four years… It was a hell she never wanted to experience again. Moreover, what was more terrifying than living with the demons living in disorder.

…It was herself.

She still hadn’t recovered, her back hurt and it was cold at night, so goosebumps rolled around her body.

So this was good.

Rather, she lacked magical powers, and she lacked that resilience.

‘This makes me look like a human being.’

A person who was neither a demon nor a cat… A person who got sick when injured.

“Now, let’s slowly…check it out?”

* * *

Bella decided to first interrogate the demons nearby her since she still did not know the circumstances of how Kiehl came to the Demon Realm.

“Iwer!”

When she found Iwer, she had untied a lead on the gardener who maintained this place and placed a hand on his chest.

“Miss… I’m busy right now. Or, would you like to join us as well?”

“Isn’t this place too crowded?”

“It’s such a fun thing to do.”

Bella frowned and stepped back.

‘Ugh. Why is she like that, really?’

Now that she and Kiehl had crossed over to her demon realm together, she thought he’d know more though she didn’t want to mix things up.

“Jenkins!”

Bella turned right behind her and changed her attitude. It was because something was better than nothing. Fortunately, Jenkins was quickly found soon after. He was sitting in his chair in his room, reading a book. In addition, he even wore glasses that don’t suit him.

“What happened? You changed your clothes.”

“When did you meet Kiehl?”

Through the glasses, Jenkins’ pupils began to shake.

…Finally, it had come. Even though she did say ‘I’ll forgive you’ on the radio to him, the demons were people who changed their words easily at any time, so he waited in fear for this day.

“It is the spring of 1166.”

“How did you meet the twins? Tell me in detail.”

Jenkins proceeded carefully with his words, which he put together with everyone… Well, although 80% of it was true.

“Does Miss remember the girl Sir Zanbar kidnapped before?”

“Kidnapped…?”

Bella rolled her eyes, trying to remember.

“Miss Rosanne.”

As soon as Jenkins spoke, she stopped rolling her eyes and her pupils widened.

“A certain merchant was trying to sell Iwer’s potion to Miss Rosanne.”

It was not in the novel that Rosanne used such a potion.

‘She wouldn’t use that kind of thing…’

“So, it’s an illegal drug, and the twins came to arrest us.”

“What? Illegal…?”

Since when did such a law exist? When she came to the human world, Bella wanted to live comfortably by trying to sell Iwer’s blood.

“Anyway, then, we met Rinne, and Iwer said she wanted to summon Miss because she wants to see you.”

“Hmm.”

“Until then, I did not know that she was related to the Young Master. I only remembered Rosanne, after meeting Miss and the Young Master.”

“Anyway, Kiehl…”

“Rinne thought we were doing something strange, so she watched us and he found us.”

…Could there be such a coincidence?

However, things that couldn’t happen, happen easily sometimes. The necessary coincidences were not allowed for Bella, like when she was looking for Myu.

“…Really? Then, how did Rosanne and Kiehl look?”

“He only saw Miss Rosanne once. After that, he went home so I don’t know the details.”

It was true. After that, he returned to the Imperial Palace with the twins.

After talking this far, Jenkins seemed to have eased his burden. Meanwhile, Bella listened to his words and became more confused.

‘I guess I’ll have to ask myself…’

But, how would she ask? In particular, the love story was a problem that could be shared with friends though not with family members.

‘I hope he didn’t think of me interfering…’

As Bella pondered, an unfamiliar voice came from behind her.

“Ack! Demon King!”

…And, with a pretty bright voice.

They were Kiehl’s twin escorts.

She was as active when she went to gather the holy relics with Rosanne. The story of the twins was when Rio, the twin brother, died when he went to the Demon Realm, and Rine suddenly disappeared in her sorrow.

The twins abruptly stood in front of her to say hello.

“Well… Hello, Demon King.”

Bella waved her hand in surprise. Knowing their original fate, she was at a loss as to how to deal with them.

“Is the weather nice?”

“Yes, that’s right.”

The sun had already set, and it was night.

“Ah, you’re the supreme Demon King, so treat me with ease.”

“Uh… okay.”

Bella answered bewilderedly but was still skeptical.

‘…Is there anything they want from me?’

Rinne was the type of person who couldn’t speak the words that she really meant. She had heard that she was a genius from an early age, and she was an arrogant child who received a lot of love compared to Rio.

“We went on a trip to collect holy relics with Kiehl.”

Suddenly, Bella had a good idea.

‘Now that I think about it, I might as well ask them.’

They must have been close enough to Rosanne and Kiehl while they gathered the relics together. She could check how much the original story had changed through this.

“I, too… have heard, but a little, not a lot of it.”

“Really?”

When Bella answered, Rio turned his eyes on and politely put his hands together.

“What did Kiehl say about us?”

“Uh… just…twins?”

At Bella’s simple reply, Rio let out a sigh as if greatly disappointed.

“If it’s the holy relics, it’s my weakness. Did you collect them well?”

“Well, we didn’t know at the time that the Demon King was the Demon King.”

Bella was stunned to see the twins so nervous.

‘I was just joking…’

“Then, you and Kiehl were the only ones going to collect relics?”

“With us, there was the Imperial Knights Commander named Rohan…”

Bella frowned slightly at the mention of Rohan’s name.

The strict guy who took Kiehl.

—“It will happen anyway. As the lady said, it would be better if you do it quickly.”

…The bad news guy. The last moment with Rohan that Bella remembered was the the swearing and being dumbfounded.

‘He must have been the guy who sent the assassin to the mansion.’

“Why did Rohan go with you?”

Rio shrugged his shoulders.

“Kiehl said he was a watchman.”

That was why he was sticking up…

“Is there anyone else?”

Rinne pondered for a moment what to say about Rosanne. Although she just followed along, she didn’t want to cause any misunderstanding.

“There are some kids, Rosanne and Myu, who traveled together. It was a trip with six people like this.”

However, contrary to Rinne’s deep thoughts, Rio spoke as much as he could.

‘The Demon King’s expression is not good…’

There was another reason for the expression on Bella’s face.

‘Peter’s not there.’

It was because he was originally someone who should be with him on that trip. However, he raided the mansion and was killed at Zanbar’s hands instead. Though he didn’t have a very important role, when Kiehl had a hard time, he used to be a friend for him.

‘Was the trip very difficult for Kiehl?’

In the novel, the trip begins not long after meeting the twins not long. Kiehl, who had neither family nor siblings, was very envious of the siblings.

‘If it was a family, he found it, so he must have a little bit of strength, right?’

When Bella was silent, the twins coughed and talked.

“If you have any questions, feel free to ask.”

“Well… Then, I want to hear about Kiehl’s success.”

Rinne excitedly explained, not missing a chance to score points while praising his uncanny ability to quickly find the relics.

“Anyway, his swordsmanship is great. No one would worry about him just wandering around without an escort.”

Hearing compliments about Kiehl from other people’s mouths felt really good.

‘If he fights me now, I will lose. Kiehl has experience while I don’t.’

Then, they told the story of the hordes of thieves who came to seek revenge and the story of being surrounded by beasts in the camp. However, the story that Bella had to confirm never came out.

“Then, what about Kiehl and Rosanne?”

“What? Uh… In what way?”

“No, between the two of them.”

“Between… the two…”

As Rinne found it difficult to answer, Bella turned the question around.

“Tell me when you go to the Valley of the Dragon.”

In the novel, in that place, the two of them quickly became close.

“The, the Valley of the Dragon…”

“Yes. Did anything special happen to Rosanne?”

The twins wondered how Bella knew the Valley of the Dragon but couldn’t bear to ask back, so they replied, “At that time, I think… The horse she was riding got frightened, and it ran away.”

Bella nodded her head.

“So she struggled a bit… That’s—”

“No, so who did Rosanne end up riding the horse with? Kiehl?”

Rinne rolled her head and tried to recall that time. She had never seen Kiehl ride a horse with anyone.

“She, she rode with Rohan.”

Bella screamed as Rio shyly raised his hand.

“What…?”

The twins found a very different face from the ‘naive Bella’ they thought for a moment and tensed their shoulders.

Bella was biting her lip and glaring at them.

“Ugh, why are you so ignorant!”

Bella groaned and turned back.

Meanwhile, Rinne sighed and poked Rio in the side. It must have been the first time they had spoken properly with Bella. However, they seemed to have angered her instead.

“Hey, who told you to answer that way?”

“How the hell am I supposed to answer that question?”

“I don’t know either! With this, the contract went down the drain!”

Eventually, Bella slowly returned to her room and rummaged through her luggage. After talking to the twins, only her head hurt.

‘Without Peter, it makes that much of a difference…?’

It was said that the novel had a great power to flow just like how it originally was supposed to. Just because one character was gone, there was no way the two of them who would fall in love become estranged from each other.

‘I’ll have to compare it with the novel.’

Leaving the beautiful sunshine like this, she would have to clean this up for another few months. What kind of possessor that got possessed studied the novel…?

It was when she opened her cell phone with a weeping heart that suddenly, she was added with more insult to the injury.
