No matter how stupid I was, it was a journey that I couldnât help but notice.
âIt canât be that Dietrich didnât know.â
He was a sensitive kid who stood up to Chuck at once and raised his sword. I canât see my flimsy stomach.
âYou must have known. Why did you pretend you didnât know?â
The vague and faint suspicion was convinced as soon as I turned around after leaving the three twins to Lorraine in the gold and silver room.
âWhy?â
If I had deliberately pretended not to know, there werenât many reasons for the guesser. What was certain was that he didnât want me to remain in LaGrange.
âDerek said I was Dietrichâs sacrifice.â
Isnât Dietrich pretending to be precious to sacrifice me as a sacrifice. I turned around in amazement.
âWhile you didnât even ask me.â
He never asked if I could sacrifice for myself.
âIf you ask, how do I answer you?â
I looked back at the triplets who wrestled their breath in an overwhelming emotion of not knowing whether it was anger or resentment, and leaned their heads without knowing the Young Moon.
âWe are here.â
âWhere are you living?â
âLagrange.â
âWhy?â
âBecause I left something.â
What? I hear the children ask again. My fucking Dietrich. I hurried my step, answering that pretending to be a bad guy had left that fool who lived only to lose money while doing everything alone.
âBaal!â
ââŚâŚ.. .â
âBaal! Where are you!â
As soon as I entered the Castle of Lagrangian, I found Dietrichâs demon, but I canât see where he was hiding after washing my eyes. With a sigh, I grabbed the little devil hiding in my shadow and lifted it up.
âQuok!â
âWhere is your king?â
âWhat?â
âIf you donât answer, Iâll burn all the remaining tails.â
The little devil that Dietrich had planted for me one day, though, was a good listener because it had been quite a while since I had an enemy in my shadow.
The devil, whose black tail that I had burnt by mistake in the past, points to the floor with a gloomy expression.
âUnderground?â
âOh.â
âHow do he get it out?â
At my question, the little devil reached out his tiny hand and exposed my teeth. It was a request similar to the Tooth Fairy that I encountered one day when the child was missing.
âYes, a kid who looks delicious.â
I canât forget that the devil who turns a childâs teeth into money gazes at me and greedyly lit his eyes. I rolled up my stuttering sleeves and held out my wrists.
âBring Baal.â
Dietrichâs demons liked me to a strange extent. They wouldnât like me for no reason because they werenât working for nothing.
Quazzik.
âMyâ
little devil seemed a little sorry whenever he bit my wrist without hesitation. The demon, gained strength through blood, quickly rolls through the air.
âcome out!â
I quickly squeezed my hand into the hole of the demon world that opened in front of my eyes and pulled it all down as soon as I picked it up.
Whether he opened the portal properly, Baalâs hair was caught in two gestures. I screamed at the whale and the whale and pulled him out of the air.
âCome out quickly! I donât have time!â
âOh, oh! The devil is dead!â
Baal rolled through the ground with a grievous sound, but he wasnât particularly pitiful. I grabbed his legs and raised them up, raising my voice.
âDonât pretend to be weak! You wouldnât have known it all!â
âI didnât know, I didnât know! How do I know that your Majesty was such a crazy person? What should I do to see him go to death?â
Baal distorted his face as if it were unfair. I opened my mouth as I tried to rectify my voice, shriveled in red powder.
âWhatâs going on with Dietrich now? Really dying?â
ââŚâŚ..Princess, the gate has already been opened. There is no way to stop it anymore.â
âIâm here. Iâm a sacrifice.â
âTo make a sacrifice, you have to bring it in when the gate is open. Once the gate is closed, it will never open again.â
âIs there really no way? Are you sure?â
Baalâs firm voice chokes. I cried as I watched the emptiness sucked in by Derek melted in the mud and Dietrich, who disappeared without a trace.
âThe bar is cheap and you can open it, but sheâs sealed.â
âThe bar is cheap?â
I muttered the familiar devilâs name and touched the ribbon neatly tied to the neck collar. The brooch that holds the ribbon is the sealing stone of the red bar of the sword, like Dietrichâs eyes.
âSo I only have to wake her up.â
âYes, but you canât. That seal can be broken by anyone.â
âOther than that, she canât decide.â
I stopped talking to Baal and held the brooch in my hand. The darkness of the air that is already closed and the brooch come into my eyes one after another.
In the meantime, the sealing stone of the bar was hungry and sucked the blood from the wound that the little devil bited and opened.
âWake up, the bar is cheap.â
ââŚâŚ.. .â
âIf the threat of putting it in the neck of Jeonghwa doesnât work.â
Having put the sealing stone down in the air, I stood on both legs with a lot of strength. My head was already dizzy because I was sucked in blood, but I canât quit here.
âIâll drive the shadows out of Lagrange.â
âPrincess?â
âIâm going to purify all of you.â
Quarreuk-!
Leaving behind the embarrassing call of Baal, I stretched out my hands toward the aura that covered Lagrange.
As if responding to my psychic powers, one or two of the sacred trees that were holding their breath as if they were dead in Josephâs research room and Dahliaâs garden begin to take root.
âJosephâs skill amplifier, I did a good job not to sell it.â
If I had the power of my own, it would have been lacking, but the opal with my abilities gave me more power by shining a strong light that flickers in front of my eyes.
bang!
As the thickened roots of the tree waved behind the building and climbed to the ground, Baal reached out to me with a pale face. I was saying, avoiding his touch.
âIâm not a saint who will save you, because I wonât be surprised if Lagrangju is destroyed.â
Because only Dietrich was important to me.
With my words, the purified waters bloomed at once. The shabby branches that didnât smell anything emit a deep scent that seems to paralyze the sense of smell.
In an instant, Lagrange was buried in a bunch of flowers. The more the shadow-catching flowers bloomed, the more blurred Baalâs appearance became.
I stretched my arms out again, standing in front of the darkened air.
âWait, wait a bit.â
It was spectacular to see the harsh winters in the north blossoming whiter flowers on the pure white snow as if they were a sin lie, but there was no time left to admire its beautiful power.
âI wasnât the one who smiled so much.â
Dietrichâs tough smile seemed to grow up in front of me, and I felt like my reason was going out. I clenched my teeth and made my way towards the bar sapphire buried in the petals.
âWake up, the bar is cheap.â
ââŚâŚ.. .â
âItâs the last time. Either die together or open that door.â
âItâs been a long time even for a stubborn person like you.â
The brooch begins to sway with a lowly laugh as if laughing at my actions. Darkness was leaking from the gold of the fine brooch.
âItâs been a long time, very, very long.â
A white arm pops out from the darkness. Baal, who has not yet completely disappeared, caught me in an urgent voice, but I did not look there.
âPrincess!â
bared and jumped into the air, holding me as it was.
đ¸ đ¸ đ¸ đ¸ đ¸
âYes, how did you come in here!â
Alphonse, who opened the gate and found Dietrich, stepped back with a flagship. The crown, too large for his head, swayed over his neck.
âYou donât even have an offering! Itâs a cheating!â
Alphonse, who had already known that Dietrichâs Anissa had run away, who had sacrificed the Shadow Demon, which is all of my force.
For Alphonse, the devil was the most precious. The devil, who is neither his family nor his lover, nor his friends, is the source of his power.
âAsmodeus, take care of that child! Iâm already chosen as the Grand Duke!â
Dietrich turned around, ignoring the evil Alphonse. He soon felt relieved when he saw the tightly closed door.
That door would never ever open again. He chose to leave Anissa outside the gate.
Now no one could reverse his choice.
âAsmodeus,â
Behind the huge black door that pierces the sky, there was a demon as great as that door. A gigantic laughter rang a thousand thumps as if tearing my ears.
âItâs the first time youâve ever entered my gateway without demons or offerings.â
Asmodeus laughed for a long time. The mighty demon king and the god of demons, with seventy-two legions at their feet, was a terrible figure with a goatâs left head and a sheepâs right head, but Dietrich still looked up at him with insensitive eyes.
âYour brother, Alphonse, sacrificed his devil like a father. Do you have nothing to give me?â
âNo,â
Dietrich responded firmly to the devilâs question and pointed his sword at the bottom.
Drool.
The sound of a knife approaching rang out loud in the empty space. There was a great sense of overbearing on the subject of a human boy, so Asmodeus laughed, trying to hide the fact that he had flinched.
âIâll praise you for opening the gateway without offerings.â
âI donât need your compliment,â
he boasted of keen anticipation, leaving deep indentations on Dietrichâs black floor. Slowly, slowly raising his sword, he laughed slowly. The devil was embarrassed by his unhurriedness and gave strength to the hand that held the armrest of the throne.
âIs that your throne?â
âYes.â
âCome downâ.
Dietrich ran quickly without waiting for the devilâs answer. In a moment, Asmodeus trembled and jumped into the air with the blade hanging around his neck.
