A little refresher, so the OG FL was Saint Serdebella Renee. Mersonâs real name was not Merson, Erina just thought of it out of the blue because he was good as a farMER, nor was his name âDemon Kingâ XD, his real name was Kaylehartz (the first chapter has a different spelling because we havenât decided on the spelling). Â And then the Holden was from Erinaâs last name, as they were disguising as couples anyway.
Canât We Just be Happy? (10) â unedited
It was Bennon that Pierre and Raynon moved to. Raynon grabbed Pierreâs hand, which was holding his own collar, and pulled it away.
âAre you crazy? What are you doing?!â
Unlike Raynon, who was restless because he was worried about the Demon Kingâs condition, Pierreâs attitude was very easygoing. He simply skipped over Raynon, who runs wildly while arranging his disheveled collar, was simply skipped over with a âyesâ answer.
âIf anything goes wrong with the Demon KingâŚâŚ.â
âHave you already forgotten? We both froze with just one shed of murderous energy.â
Recalling the fear from before, Raynon trembled.
âEven so, weâll have to take him to the Demon Kingâs Castle for nowâŚâŚ.â
âIsnât that surprising? As the human girl claims that the Demon Kingâs magic hasnât fully returned, yet he was able to spit out that much murderous energy. We had to curl up like dogs. Who would dare threaten the Demon King?â
âYes, you are right. Heâs incredibly strong compared to people like us. But if he lost his memory and hasnât recovered your magic power in two years, then that in itself is a problem.â
âIâm not worried about the Demon King himself. At all.â
âHey, Pierre!â
Black smoke began to rise from Raynonâs body. Pierre had no choice but to crumple his face at the magic around him that sharpened the blade as if he was about to stab him at any moment. But his will was not broken.
If Raynon respected the Demon King as his existence itself, and loved it with the heart of his parents, even though it was funny for him to say âoh coochi coochi coo Our Demon King,â Pierre was the opposite. He longed for the strength of the Demon King, the power to bring everything in this world to its knees.
It was so horrendous that he hated Saint Serdebella. A person who fearlessly asks for an immortal body from the Demon King.
âIâm more concerned about âErina Holdenâ.â
Erina did more than Serdebella, and never less. A human protecting the demon king, giving orders without knowing her place, and even calling the Demon King without hesitation. There were more than just a couple of things he was concerned about.
Not only Pierre, but Raynon would have thought the same. He didnât like the fact that the Demon King kept that rude human alive. He felt a different anger from Serdebella. Very oddly.
After thinking about it, Pierre came up with an assumption.
âThe mark of the engraving has been activated on Erina Holden.â
âWhat nonsense are you talking about?â
Raynonâs magic grew stronger. It was also a warning message to him to shut his mouth immediately.
Even though it was difficult for Pierre to receive that magical energy, he continued his words steadfastly.
âIt may be that she obtained an immortal body as a mark of the engraving, that is, as the companion of the Demon King. It is only natural that the Demon King, who has relatively lost his magical powers, is drawn to the human girl who is his own magic.â
âDoes that make sense? The Demon Kingâs companion was decided so absurdly? Do you say that, knowing how much magic power the Demon King put into making that mark?â
âI know it all too well. Every time I remembered that the Demon Kingâs magic, who drives you crazy just by smelling it, was going to a petty Saint, I wanted to rip the saintâs bones and flesh apart and throw her to the edge of hell.â
ââŚâŚ.â
âBy the way⌠He went into a place we never expected at all.â
Kwakwangâ
The building collapsed as Pierreâs body was thrown away at high speed and slammed into an empty private house. Black wings flew into the thick smoke and the rubble of the building.
With a clean face without a single scratch, Pierre lay still on the spot. Raynon stomped on his neck.
âDonât talk nonsense.â
âSo letâs check it out. Whether or not the mark of engraving was activated on Erina Holden.â
âWhat?â
âActually, arenât you curious? Mister Raynon would prefer the Demon King to return to the Demon Kingâs Castle as soon as possible.â
ââŚâŚ.â
âIf the mark of the engraving is activated, the girl will not die, otherwise, well, she will be seen in hell.â
* * *
âEither the gods directly annihilate the demon king who has weakened in power, or someone stronger than the demon king appears and takes the throne and destroys it.â
The demonâs words did not leave my mind. I didnât even know it was Mersonâs life that I was holding and shaking.
I looked at the calendar on the table. It wasnât long before he met Saint Serdebella Renee. And can I be alone without Merson?
âUaaah!â
I slapped my stupid head with my palm. I deserve to die. Mersonâs going to be annihilated, and Iâm worrying about myself!
But Merson just sat in the chair and stared blankly, with an attitude that didnât understand my anguish at all.
âYes, letâs enjoy the time when you donât know anything.â
I came over and hugged his head. You wonât come and kill me later right? We have had a lot of affection in the pastâŚâŚ.
âMerson, follow those demons tomorrow.â
âI said I wasnât going.â
He hugged my waist tightly. Yes, that would be scary. I kissed Mersonâs black hair and spoke my words as bluntly as possible.
âItâs for you.â
âI donât need that.â
His voice sounded brusque, as if angry.
Merson rose from his seat, raising my gaze as he was forced to bow his head. Do you want to let me go? The way he looked down at me wasnât good.
