Is the highlight of the banquet on the last day? (12) â unedited
âGive me that token. Keep your promise.â
âAsk El.â
âI told you, ElâŠâŠ !â
The Saintâs words stopped abruptly. She then rubbed her eyes as if she had not seen something she could not see, and she pushed Kayle, who she had been clinging to, and ran as if possessed.
Behind Kayle stood a man with white hair woven in white light that would exist above the sky where the night had never reached.
When the Saint came running, he naturally spread her arms out and embraced her shoulders.
âI what, Bella?â
The Saintâs face in his arms is distorted. On the other hand, Elâs hand stroking the back of the Saintâs hair was infinitely warm.
âHow did you get here, El?â
âWherever you are, Iâm always there.â
âDonât joke around.â
El, who buried his nose in the Saintâs head, spoke softly.
âI came down because there was a familiar magic around Bellaâs divine power.â
Elâs eyes looking at Kayle were unusual. It was as if a huge, sharp icicle that had been formed for many years in a place where the four seasons are winter, had already been placed on his head.
âYour minions have turned into half-bastards. Rumors are already spreading all the way to heaven. There are more and more people who compliment you.â
It was the story about Raynon and Pierre. These two were particularly proud of their demon tribe even within the demon realm. In other words, races other than demons, such as the heavenly beings, were regarded as nothing less than the dust piled up on their shoes.
Because of this, there were many heavenly beings who felt very insulted by Raynon and Pierre, and even if they wanted to hit the faces of those two, their magical power was so strong that the heavenly beings could not do anything except tremble in anger.
But fortunately, when rumors spread in heaven that they had been beaten up by the Demon King whom they praised so much, everyone cheered.
âHow long are you going to stay with Bella, Elle?â
Kayle, who was far away, caught Elâs gaze that was glaring at him.
âI have a duty to protect the child chosen by the Lord God until she becomes a full-fledged Saint.â
âThe Lord Godâs command is over. Bella grew up as a human adult, and she got the title of Saint. She doesnât need you to protect her anymore.â
In other words, it means âdonât waste your time uselessly, but it was taken differently by El, who was blinded by love.
âSo, it is okay for you to stay with Bella?â
Elle hated it terribly that Bella gave attention to Kayle. When he learns that Kayle is giving Bella a token of engraving, he plans to start a meaningless war to get her back and come up with a plan for her to come to him.
However, even after the engraving was completed, nothing changed much. So he was relieved that if Bella saw Kayle, who had been hiding for two years after killing her brother, Bella would not accept him even if he proposed.
So, after overturning all of Elâs plans and becoming the only thing Bella could rely on, Kayle appears after two years.
With the Saint with Kayle, a disbelief rose from the depths of Elâs heart, and he couldnât stand it without seeing it with his own two eyes. It was natural in a way that Kayleâs words were being conveyed to El in a distorted way.
El held the Saint in his arms, revealing a deep possessiveness. Kayle, who didnât really care for her at all, passed them by without saying yes or no.
He had already spoken once and thatâs enough. He has no need or obligation to persuade El.
But it was the Saintâs pathetic voice that still held Kayle.
âDonât go! Itâs been a while since the three of us met, huh?â
The Saint got out of Elâs arms and pulled Kayleâs hem. Elâs face turned wild and a murderous energy pierced the air strongly. The Saintâs body trembled, and goosebumps rise on the back of her hand.
But she didnât want to miss Kayle, and her heart overcame those fears. The Saint was still holding Kayleâs clothes with her trembling hands.
Glance.
Kayle turned his head and looked at the Saint with the tip of his nose. She called his name even more mournfully.
âPlease, Kayle.â
Tak!
âKyaa!â
He shook off the Saint by lightly stroking her wrist. It was clear that it didnât hurt, but perhaps because of the surprise, a small scream broke out from the Saintâs mouth.
At the same time, El rushed in, grabbed Kayle by the neck and lifted him up, and his eyes instantly filled with madness.
âWhat are you doing to Bella?!â
âCrazy guy.â
Grit-
This grinding sound sounded threatening. A divine power that seemed to blow away the mansion at any moment was gathering around El.
Kayle, who was looking at El with an expressionless face, condensed his magic power into the palm of his hand and slammed Elâs chest hard.
Whaaam!
A hot wind blew and spread with a bang, and Elâs body was pushed back. If El had been human, it would be enough for him to disappear into ashes.
âCalm down, El.â
âDonât talk like youâre up there!â
âWait, El!â
It was the Saint who stopped El, who still couldnât calm down. As she held his chest and showed tears, to his surprise, Elâs eyes began to sink. It was sad.
âStop! Stop it. You must not ruin this banquet!â
Kayle, who looked at it, went out of the terrace without saying much. It was a clear attitude that he did not want to be in their mix anymore.
It was only the Saint who felt Kayleâs absence from the terrace where only the two of them were left.
