After the others left, Illa remained behind to apologize to Lebel on behalf of the priests and their rudeness. “I am sorry.” “It was not your apology I sought. I heard the temple holds great sway in the Empire. I see the same is true here.” “The priests possess abilities that are indispensable when we must treat those wounded by demonic beasts.” “The temple is not without its power. People always turn to the gods when times are hard.” Yutis stood at Lebel’s side and offered…- 232.7 K • Completed
- The next day, word arrived from the temple saying they would visit Hestro Castle. The castle became bustling. Ironically, Luceris was the busiest of the bunch. One of the reasons the priests said they were coming to the castle was because they wanted to see Luseris. Lebel watched the priests attentively. Until now, the only priest he had seen was Illa, but now he was seeing others as well. They were all humans who had received Michael’s blessing. But Illa did receive the strongest…

- Luceris jumped in shock. He suspected Lebel had an ulterior motive, but he didn't expect to be forced to act as a guard on top of being made to contract against his will. Now small, Luceris escaped Lebel's arms and flew around the room in circles, protesting loudly. "You have to protect your contractor." "Now, now, Lebel. If he dislikes it this much, wouldn't it be better to just cancel the contract?" Edmund, who had been watching quietly, finally spoke up. It would be a lie to say he…

- 'Why is a demon mixed in among humans? And being cared for like that, no less.' He was concerned for the humans. To Luceris, Lebel was a wicked demon who raised his hand against him at the slightest provocation. It should be easy for a displeased demon to kill humans, and they ought to know that. Yet, no one was afraid of Lebel. On the contrary, they were anxious because they felt they weren't doing enough for him. Luceris wondered if that was why the people here treated him well, too. When he…

- “The mark has appeared. I don’t have anything like that. It was unclear who the contract was with in the first place." What Lebel designated as the contract target wasn’t Damian as an individual, but the Hestro territory. “But won’t people see that and misunderstand it as a contract with a demon?” “It isn’t necessarily because it’s a demon. They say that when you make a contract, a mark appears in some form or another.” “That’s not something ordinary people know. That…

- “Ha, but….” “You can tell just by looking. He has no intention of attacking.” Lebel calmly stroked the dragon’s neck. The knights’ mouths fell open. “Th-then, was it perhaps the Young Madam who controlled it?” “Ah, no, that is not the case.” He could not say that he was controlling the one who was to become the guardian of the Hestro family. At that moment, Edmund approached from behind. At the same time, Karon jumped into Lebel’s arms and barked. Karon…

- “If there are humans you don’t like, then there are humans who are acceptable as well. My husband here is someone even I can trust, so you can be reassured.” However, the dragon’s expression remained sullen. He looked at Yutis with an expression that reflected his disbelief, seemingly recalling someone else. Lebel wondered what kind of first impression the first lord had left on him. “My wife, must we really take him with us?” “Why, do you dislike it?” “He himself seems to…

- "I have to do what I'm paid to do. I recommend not interfering. If you don't want to get in trouble." “…Can you subdue me with force?” I don’t have a hobby of bullying weak children. The dragon heard Lebel's soft muttering. He snorted in exasperation, then puffed out his chest and shouted. “Well, didn’t you feel my demonic energy?” “Your head is quite good.” “Grrrrrr….” He was bigger than Lebel, but it felt as if Lebel was arrogantly looking down on…

- Today’s concept for Jiho was fresh and bright. The clothes he wore were sporty style, and his role was that of a cheerful college student. Most of the outfits for the new casual line were like that. They were designed to target late teens to early twenties. When Jiho had looked through the outfits he would wear today, he imagined Dojin wearing them and posing in front of the camera. “Pff….” He suddenly laughed. From the start, those clothes didn’t fit Dojin’s body, and even if he…

- A few days after Ihyun had left, Jiho’s phone buzzed while he was preparing lunch in place of Dojin, who was focused on writing. “……?” When he checked, it was a message from Dohee. Dohee noona Jiho-ya! I’m really really really sorry, but remember what Ihyun’s dad and I said before…. Dohee noona I know this kind of talk might feel burdensome, but I think I can only let it go if I hear your answer directlyㅠㅠ Dohee had formally proposed that Jiho try working as a…
