Chapter 75

Thank God.

It was just about sending Baal a job and sending it to another place. Dietrich turned back, glanced at the tree where Anit had been hiding, and hurried to step.

“Baal.”

He left the forest and summoned the demon again.

“When do you think the gate will open?”

“Did you call me to ask that?”

Whether it was summoned suddenly or not, the demon who was holding a lot of documents opened his mouth wide open and grunted.

“I see Derek’s state of being lost, so it’s 15 days late when he will be completely eaten by the shadows.”

The moment Derek is ruled by his demon, Agares, the great demon of Lagrange will open the door to a new grand-duke successor.

“Are you sure?”

“Yes, it’s the history of LaGrange.”

And it was Dietrich’s future. Baal sat down as he looked at the shadow of Dietrich, who looked very covetous.

“You have to be sure before that Princess Anissa is your Majesty’s most precious being.”

Baal laughed, opening his mouth.

“Why are you doing this all of a sudden? Are you deliberately pretending to not know the princess?”

Dietrich did not answer the cheeky devil’s question. Baal shrugged his shoulders, ignoring himself and looking at him as he moved away.

“If there is no sacrifice to be sacrificed, you know that even if you enter the gate, you will never come out again.”

Baal stopped in place and doubted. It didn’t take long before his doubts became convinced.

“sire!”

The devil finally noticed that Anit had disappeared from Dahlia and came to Dietrich.

“The princess ran away?!”

“……. .”

“Is that the reason why you kept working for fifteen days without stopping! To keep me from noticing!”

Baal screamed in excitement. He had no intention of understanding Dietrich. He shrugged his chin, thinking that the king was trying to betray him.

“After all, I don’t think you’re going to sacrifice the princess.”

“noisy.”

“Of course you do not keep the contract with me.”

“I never said I wouldn’t keep it.”

“I believe you will rule the North, and you are giving me strength.”

Baal wrestled his breath.

“I am the king of demons, and you are the king of the shadows of my choice. Did you think I would have a dog who lost the fight, no, a dog who would even give up the fight?”

“You’re anti-gun.”

Dietrich looked at the evil horse with a long tongue, looking at it with an insensitivity.

His sword is swept in black ether and vibrates. Baal raised the tail of his mouth as if funny.

“Even that power is given to you as my family—hyuk.”

Baal was like a source of power used by Dietrich, and the devil was not lending my power to him now.

Then what is that power?

“The family?”

Baal’s face turns white, looking down at my chest, which is pierced by a magician who cuts even the body of the devil.

He, who is such a devil, has nothing to perish, but it was a little dangerous.

“Watch your mouth.”

“Ahh!”

“I am not in your family. Do not think that Derek and the predecessors were in the shadow devil’s family, and I am also in your family. Our contract was not like that.”

Dietrich, swinging his sword at Baal, casually inserted the sword again, as if something had happened again.

“I am your king, Baal.”

“Well, yes, I know. I know.”

The devil sighed, stealing a cold sweat.

Dietrich’s attack was disappointing, but he was the first to provoke the owner. He sighed little, then swallowed his breath.

Who can scare the devil? This was something no one else could do in the north, with a history of hundreds of years.

‘After all, interest must be the grand king.’

Baal was thrilled to think that his choice was right. There is neither in history nor in reality a person who is better suited as the ruler of the North.

Eventually, the devil clenched his teeth and turned himself. He was going to visit Anissa.

“Baal.”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

“Is it my soul what you want?”

At that very moment, Dietrich began to sway in front of his eyes with prey that the devil wants so much, does not want to covet, but cannot but covets.

“What are you talking about.”

The voice of the embarrassed devil trembles. He was saying that he did not miss a change.

“If it will be swallowed by Asmodeus anyway, I will give it to you.”

“Ha.”

Dietrich’s cool words were stunned. I was so shameful that I was confident that I would make him king until now.

“Do you know what you’re talking about? You don’t know what it means to give a soul to the devil?”

“I know, so you don’t have to feel guilty.”

“What are the guilt! I’m the devil!”

Baal raised his voice with a high fever, but oddly enough, his heart fluttered.

It’s probably because he read a book while taking care of a young human child and reading it as a moral book.

“To your Majesty, was the princess that much beauty?”

Baal frowns as if he cannot understand him.

“Are you saying it’s okay to die for her? You’re not even her own brother?”

“Yeah.”

It’s a cool acknowledgment. he said that she was more precious than her life….. .

With this word, Baal was able to summon Anissa, the sacrifice of her successor Gate.

“Damn,”

but the weak-hearted demon couldn’t, and Dietrich knew it well.

It wasn’t just himself that was only weak to Nissa.

“So you can go and rest,”

Dietrich spreads his palms towards Baal. He was going to cancel his summons.

“You want to send me now!”

The devil raised his eyes to the unbelieving king’s decision. This meant that I would give up everything at all, apart from sacrificing Anissa.

Without a shadow demon, how do you want to enter the gate of the candidate? I wanted to write evil, but beside Baal, her wife, who does not know the spirit moon, is just tilting her round head.

“Ha,”

When Baal disappears, the silence finally finds itself. Dietrich smiled lightly as he looked at the empty and withered rose bushes.

“It’s finally quiet.”

I couldn’t find Anit’s figure anywhere in the Dalia Palace, but I could find traces of it in a small bush.

“Isn’t you sure you couldn’t prepare an offering?”

Alphonse doesn’t show whether it looks like he first opened the door to the test and entered.

“Yeah.”

“Nothing is valuable?”

Derek opened his eyes as if he couldn’t believe it and asked, but Dietrich only nodded in a blatant attitude.

“Yes,”

Dietrich’s voiceless reply was very pleasant to Derek. He wanted his younger son’s defeat more than anyone who stood here.

Already after losing Liatris’ love, he believed that she would forgive him once Alphonse was made the Grand Duke.

“Then you can’t open the gate.”

Dietrich shook his head slowly as he watched Derek laughed at him.

“No, I will open it.”

Dietrich’s resolute declaration opens Derek’s eyes wide. Soon, Derek laughed blatantly at him and shook his shoulder.

This is because the candidate who opened the gate without offering to the evil god did not exist in history.

“What?”

But Dietrich had to open the door. It will not be possible to free the shadow of Lagrange by becoming a grand duke as planned by Anit, but at least Alphonse had to be eliminated.

‘Otherwise, it would be the same that it would end up in danger.’

He was a thorough man, and there shouldn’t be a hole in what he once made up for.

“Open the door, Asmodeus.”

Dietrich’s low voice echoed his nature, and a black lice began to form in the air.

“Do you know that it is a gateway that cannot escape without an offering?”

“Will my future change if I stop here?”

Derek didn’t answer the dry question. But Dietrich knew that Alphonse, who had become archduke, would never leave him, Anissa, and Baal alone.

As the dark vortex grows, Derek’s face begins to get closer to the earthy color.

‘Are the vanishing mediums go away?’

As the gateway to the new Grand Duke had come, Derek was to be thrown away by the shadows.

Dietrich looked at his half-lost father in the shadows and turned his head.

“You weren’t a delightful person to call him a father.”

The one he made into his family wasn’t a nerd who was drunk with power and strength and didn’t know how to properly care for one loved one.

So Derek was Dietrich’s father, but he couldn’t be his family.

“Dietrich!”

He was just about to step into the last gate, remembering the young face of my only family.

The voice that I wished so much for, but I didn’t want to be here, resonates in the hall.

“Dietrich!!!”

Anissa and his eyes met, running madly toward Dietrich. She stared into his surprised eyes and burst into a tantrum.

“You just go in there!”

“……… .”

“Huh?! You die when you go in! Okay?! Die from me!! I know you’ll die!!!”

He turned his head at her and laughed very briefly.
