“So it was you who declared war on the North.” “I had no choice. The North possessed what I desired most. But I never truly wanted to wage war. That’s why I made them an offer.” “…An offer?” “I asked for an opportunity to meet with Lord Lebel.” Neither Father nor Father-in-law mentioned such a thing when they saw the letter. Since Lebel hadn't seen the letter's contents, he couldn't know exactly what tone Biakin used or what he demanded precisely, but he certainly hadn't…- 232.7 K • Completed
Biakin in Lebel's memory was a figure worthy of a crown prince. There are many types of leaders. If Yutis was the type who exerted his own power and drew people to him, Biakin was the type who recognized the potential and abilities of those around him, placing them in the right positions and managing them effectively. He probably obtained this through such methods as well. The beings inhabiting the Middle Realm had maintained their nation by worshipping angels as gods. Since the chaos wrought…- 232.7 K • Completed
If Lebel is unable to move, then he would go himself. He may not have wings, but he has two legs. Moreover, his wife had even placed a weapon in his hands capable of slaying demons. There was no reason he couldn't go find him. But Karon immediately stopped him. It wasn't that he was particularly worried about him. Rather, Karon's mind was filled with thoughts of Lebel. Lebel was his greatest concern, but considering the aftermath, this guy getting hurt would be a bigger problem. 'Even…- 232.7 K • Completed
“I drove them away.” Lebel's brow furrowed. So what? "You hate me too, so get lost. Send me back to where I was.” "I'm sorry. That's not possible." He knew he wouldn't listen, but he said it anyway. Lebel never thought they'd have this conversation, but he sure planned well. What a novel situation. "You put this on me. Seems you don't value your life." Lebel fiddled with the collar on his neck. If it were an ordinary collar, he could have easily broken free. But no matter how…- 232.7 K • Completed
“When things get dangerous, I’ll step in too. That’s why I came.” “The more dangerous it is, the less you should intervene. Haven’t I repeatedly told you that Norman is targeting you?” “That’s because you… alright. Relax your expression.” That last incident seems to have left traumatized. Even though he saved him back then. Lebel wanted to stick close by his side, but Yutis was furious and opposed it, so he had no choice. "I heard you're doing well." "Was…- 232.7 K • Completed
“The Teruo family was a close friend of Father-in-law, and as retainers, they held high standing, they were suitable.” He also seemed like the sort who’d repay a debt tenfold. “But everyone knows Jorsen made a pact with a demon?” “What does such scandal matter in the midst of war? Especially in the North, where might is everything. Ultimately, those who earn merit in war will hold the power." Damian's eyes narrowed. Though Lebel appeared thoughtless on the surface, he often acted…- 232.7 K • Completed
“I don’t want to get stronger, but I do want to fulfill a long-held wish before I go. Since I’m from the North, you know what I mean? I recently sensed his power in the North.” “You… saw Lord Lebel?” “My contract partner is the child of a fairly prestigious family in the North. Thanks to that, I happened to see Lord Lebel. Of course, he didn't even glance my way." "Ha, of course not." Norman felt both relieved and amused that Lebel treated other demons the same way he…- 232.7 K • Completed
"What can he do even if he noticed?" "No, that's true, but..." "Harvan is a man of few words. Even if he suspects your true identity, he'll be cautious because he owes you a favor." "That might be true of Lord Teruo's disposition, but..." Merick's eyes widened in shock when the contract was canceled. He'd finally found a human soul he liked, only to have it snatched away. Though not as powerful as Yutis, Jorsen was still a strong human, and his soul shone brightly. Merick fell…- 232.7 K • Completed
"G-god, really? A demon...!" When the retainers saw the demon, their eyes widened like lanterns. Anticipating their impending reaction, Lebel preempted them. "I can do some unusual things." "This is beyond just being unusual...!!" "If it helps, that's all that matters. Why overthink it? Seems my magic works well against demonic beasts and demons." Annoyed, Lebel cut off the retainer's words. He then signaled to Merick. The latter composed his expression. "So it was true... the master of…- 232.7 K • Completed
"Hmm, I suppose I was lacking in consideration. Who would have thought you'd be afraid to face a demon? Then again, it's absurd for a human to defeat a demon, so it makes sense to feel afraid.” The quiet mutter spread through the conference hall like ripples though it was not meant to provoke the retainers. Several retainers who had been listening silently jumped to their feet. Lebel's casual remark had effectively served as a brilliant provocation. "Who's scared?" "You aren’t? You avoid…- 232.7 K • Completed
