“Jeremy, do you believe in Demon Hunters, too?”
“I have no choice but to believe it. Now, the devil is thinking of sticking next to Charlize. We have to kill the devil somehow. Then Charlize will be alone again and belong to our family.”
“Isn’t it too much to say that Charlize belongs to your family as if she is an object? She’s a human, Jeremy.”
“Charlize is like a relic left by Mother. We have to protect it.”
Harrison saw Jeremy’s blue eyes that were filled with obsession.
It was strange that the blue eyes that looked exactly like Tia looked out of focus.
It seemed as if Tia was losing her mind in front of him.
Even though Jeremy and Tia don’t look so alike.
Harrison sighed in a strange sense of alienation.
“Ah, all everyone is talking about is Charlize, Charlize. It’s crazy.”
John was watching as everyone but himself grew obsessed with Charlize.
In particular, the unexpected person who had a strong obsession with Charlize.
It was Jeremy Rebecca, Charlize’s second brother.
It was her brother who had an unruly personality and hated Charlize. But seeing him suddenly revealing his true feelings, it didn’t feel like fun anymore.
Eugene, the Duke of Rebecca, and Harrison, the Emperor of the Evansky Empire, were also increasingly attached to Charlize.
They were the only ones who didn’t know.
It was too boring for him to keep this funny situation all by himself.
So John also tried to inform the other two of Tia’s men.
Just in case.
They may be unconsciously caring about Charlize.
John’s wry smile gradually deepened.
‘Things are going well. It’s up to Charlize now. She always does things that go beyond my expectations.’
John was also interested in Charlize.
To Charlize who he hated so much.
“So, Your Majesty, did Charlize grant you an engagement request?”
Harrison gritted his teeth at Eugene’s question.
“No. I heard that she tore my engagement letter into pieces and threw it in the trash. Are you trying to rebel against the royal family?”
Jeremy replied as if he had already anticipated it.
“Charlize hates the people around Tia very much. She’s not a child who will gladly accept it.”
Harrison narrowed his brows as if he were displeased.
“I want her to be my fiancĂ©e and help me find Tia until she comes back. When Tia comes back, I can break up with Charlize. Breaking up a marriage is easy for me.”
Jeremy listened to Harrison and clenched his fists in his hands.
Everyone seemed to think of Charlize as their doll.
Charlize is the only doll of Duke Rebecca.
He really didn’t like it.
His master, even the great people. All.
Charlize was originally from their Rebecca family.
Jeremy’s rotten heart began to fester.
Eugene quietly checked Jeremy’s condition and quickly changed the subject when he felt Jeremy was about to explode.
“I asked the guild leader of Dawn to find Demon Hunters, so Demon Hunters will come to our mansion as soon as possible. Why don’t we all get together that day?”
Harrison didn’t believe in the existence of the Demon Hunters, but he moved his head up and down because he did not like the devil attached to Charlize’s side very much.
He replied in affirmative.
John also showed a positive attitude.
Eugene dragged Jeremy out of the drawing room, leaving only good words to the great men to enjoy a little more in the mansion.
Eugene looked at Jeremy and began to nag.
“Jeremy, is that the courtesy you should show to great people?”
“Brother Eugene, do you want to see Charlize taken away? I don’t like it at all. Charlize belongs to the Rebecca family. You know that, right?”
“Yes. Charlize is the first adopted child of the Rebecca family that Mother adopted. As you said, Charlize belongs to the Rebecca family. But you don’t have to worry too much about the doll that bothers Tia.”
“Brother Eugene, you want to fulfill Mother’s wish and keep Charlize alive, right?”
“That’s right. Wasn’t that the same for you?”
“I changed my mind a little. I will never let Charlize escape from the Rebecca family.”
“Jeremy, are you possessed by a demon, too?”
“No. Looking back on the past, I was an ordinary older brother who only cared about Tia. But when Tia disappeared and Charlize continued to die, my mind trapped in the darkness began to dominate me. And as the devil appeared, my dark inner self exploded. Actually, I was more concerned about Charlize than Tia. That’s funny, isn’t it?”
Jeremy was laughing as if finally going crazy.
It’s like revealing everything he had been hiding to his brother.
Eugene was not surprised to hear Jeremy’s innermost thoughts.
This was because Jeremy’s eyes have always been fixed on Charlize.
Eugene already knew Jeremy’s dark inner side.
“I also have to protect Charlize anyway. If I fail to keep Mother’s wish, I will lose all the power to seal the devil, which will destroy the Duke of Rebecca. I never want that to happen.”
“

Brother Eugene.”
“So let’s save Charlize first. Jeremy.”
“

Yes.”
For some reason, the two brothers became united once again because of Charlize.

Charlize opened her eyes on the soft bed. She glanced sideways and found Lua.
Lua was sitting on the bed, arranging Charlize’s scattered hair.
“Lua, was I dead by any chance?”
“No, you just fainted.”
“So you are almost full of energy now?”
“Yes, this is all thanks to Charlize.”
“Don’t thank me. I’m just a mean person who thinks about using Lua.”
“Don’t say that. Because to me, Charlize has become a precious person.”
“It’s against the rules to have feelings for each other. Lua.”
“I just cherish Charlize as my only contractor, won’t you allow this kind of emotion?”
When Charlize saw Lua’s sad expression, she thought of a puppy asking for a hug because he couldn’t even walk properly.
“I will allow that level of emotion.”
“Really?”
Lua was smiling so happily. Charlize felt at peace for a moment at his appearance.
How long has it been since she felt stable?
She was always so sensitive because she always lived in a tense state to defend herself with Charlize’s body.
For Lua, she acted as hard as she could to not show her unstable feelings.
It’s been a while since she got to know Lua, but she still didn’t trust him at all.
This is because she saw in a book that you should not trust the demons easily.
The demons like vulnerable humans and are crafty and evil.
But Lua wasn’t.
Charlize gradually began to believe in Lua.
But there will be no moment of complete belief.
For ever and good.
“Lua, give orders to the demons living all over the continent right now. I’m looking for a woman with shoulder-length platinum blonde hair and blue eyes. Her name is Tia Rebecca. Quick.”
“As soon as you woke up, you want to find your sister first, so I’m somewhat disappointed. Charlize.”
“I’m ordering you as a contractor.”
“Okay, I’ll give the demons orders right now.”
“You have to bring her without a scratch. She has to come back alive. Put this command in, too.”
“Yes, yes.”
Lua tapped his forehead with his index finger. Then a black fog roamed around Lua’s body. Charlize gazed enraptuously at the mysterious atmosphere.
“Demons, find a human girl. Her name is Tia Rebecca. She has shoulder-length platinum blonde hair and blue eyes. I’ll give the fastest demon a chance to be my loyal servant.”
Lua said so in the air, and the black mist scattered around as soon as his words were over, as if they were obeying him.
What a mysterious phenomenon.
Charlize stared at Lua.
Lua raised his slightly sky-blue gray eyes, which had fallen down, as if he felt Charlize’s gaze.
Two people with different eye colours made eye contact.
“Charlize’s eyes are fascinating the more I look at them. It’s as beautiful as gold.”
At Lua’s sudden compliment, Charlize blinked her eyelids slowly.
Why the sudden compliment?
It was awkward to ignore it like this, so Charlize also praised Lua.
“Lua’s face is amazing too. The more I see it, the more beautiful it is.”
“
Well, does Charlize like my face?”
