Chapter 118 – A Very Different Way Of Loving

Since it was the first official night, Kiehl headed to Bella's room. As he quietly closed the door, he found the demons and his escorts talking obscene remarks without knowing who had come.

‘I'd never expect even Rosanne to do that…’

As much as they were expecting it, he was expecting it as well.

Although he didn’t know why, Bella didn't cross that precarious line in the name of ‘protection.’ Many times he showed off his mind implicitly, but she only listened to it and let it out her other ear like she did when he was a child.

Today, the first official night, he thought the demons would interfere anyway.

So, on the last night of the summer festival, at the time of the fireworks festival, he sincerely tried to convey his heart to her with the ring he had prepared for a long time. When everyone was busy playing, no one would interfere.

‘Anyway, she won't come here today.'

Then, there was only one place to go.

Smiling slightly, he went back to his room. The guards guarding Kiehl's room tightened their posture as soon as they saw him.

“What’s wrong with you?”

As he tilted his head, the red-faced guard hinted.

“That… the Crown Princess, is inside.”

“Really?”

“But… but she said she would be na, naked…”

When Kiehl heard that, he burst into laughter.

‘I hope so.'

It wouldn’t be.

“Guard it well.”

He barely held back a laugh and opened the door. In the meanwhile, the guards hastily closed the door, fearing that they would see the Crown Princess naked.

And, as he expected, Bella turned around and stood in front of the desk.

Could it be that she was looking for a hidden ring?

“Bella. You’re here?”

And when she looked back, she was beautiful that it gave him goosebumps

* * *

Bella dropped the wine she was holding on the ground, and carefully lifted the document inside with shaking hands.

She saw her familiar handwriting.

[ Kiehl’s 15th Birthday Gift ? ]

Why are the notes that should have been in the mansion here?

With the cover, too.

[ Not a single light came into the Demon King’s castle. ]

Only part of the novel that Bella transcribed.

[ “I found you.” / “That’s funny, kid.” ]

The part that reminded her of Rosanne while fighting the Demon King’s daughter was all painted black.

— “I think the Young Master misinformed him about reading the compass.”

As the forebodings pass through her, Bella held the document beneath it in her hand. It was a report on the magic explosion accident that she was investigating. Only the parts that seemed to have been fabricated were torn and stored.

‘Why is this here…?’

Rohan suspected that she had been manipulating it. Even though Bella was doing the investigation, he was doing a background investigation.

‘Yes… I was the one who benefited the most from this incident.'

However, unless Bella caused the accident…

— “They told me to put up a shield when there’s a signal.”

The face of the culprit she didn’t want to think of was drawn in her mind.

Yes… that was why Rinne didn't cast a protection spell on Kiehl.

— “Be my wife.”

It showed each and every line of the trap she was caught in more and more vividly. Every conversation she had ever had was written once again.

— “Please enter the crown princess contest instead of me.”

Please don’t…

Bella turned her eyes back to the manuscript.

‘If… if Kiehl really saw this…’

As only the sound of the clock ticking filled the room, despair and anger piled up according to the sound.

— “Do you want to become the adopted daughter of Duchy Cruelle?”

“You knew all this and sent me to Duchy Cruelle….”

— ‘I'm going to use that handsome head to get my own person.’

Her hands were shaking.

“To put me in this position…”

Suddenly, she felt a presence from behind.

“Bella. You’re here?”

Bella slowly turned back to face him.

“What were you doing?”

His voice sounded repulsive. Even so, she struggled in the hope that it would go the way it was originally.

“It was you…?”

“…Bella?”

“Did you manipulate the contest?”

“What are you talking about?”

His lying lips looked repulsive.

“Don’t lie.”

When she tossed the manuscript and the torn report in front of him, she could see Kiehl's eyes quivering behind the paper that was slowly falling through the air.

“You knew everything, you…”

Where did it go wrong? Since when did he know?

“Before coming to the demon realm. Did you know everything?”

Seeing Kiehl bit his lip, Bella laughed incredulously.

“Yes…. That's why neither I nor Zanbar were allowed to go to the mansion…”

It was because he was afraid they would find out about this note.

“Why didn’t you tell me when we met again?”

“Bella, I…”

“If you lie now, I will never see you again.”

As her eyes grew redder and redder, Kiehl slowly approached Bella with his voice was trembling.

If I tell you the truth, will you understand?

“At that time, you were so precarious. To tell you the truth… it looked like you would collapse.”

“Why would I collapse?”

“I think you want it to be like that novel…”

Bella stared at him intently.

She knew that this was a novel and that she wanted it to be like the original novel. As he said, if she had heard about this in the demon realm, she would have lost all reason like a beast now. However, Bella, who was already going through a time of despair, couldn't take his excuses.

“Why did you do that even though you knew?”

“Because it’s already not going according to the flow of the novel…”

“Why?”

As her voice coldly asked, Kiehl felt that what had happened to Juan Cruelle a few months ago had returned to him like karma now.

He didn't want to say it this way.

“Because I love you… I couldn’t let it go the way that novel did.”

Kiehl grabbed her dress.

Silence embraced them.

The tears, hoping that the truth would reach her heart, ran down his cheeks. However, his heart felt sincerity revealed a truth that Bella found difficult to accept.

‘Who do you love…?’

Why did she continue to believe that he loved Rosanne? Many of his words that had passed by, always reassuring her in her soft voice.

— “We happened to be traveling together by chance, and I’ll introduce you as well. There was someone named Rosanne.”

— “I never said I thought of Rosanne that way.”

Words that planted misunderstandings…

Words that had never been said clearly before…

— “She has a separate destiny.”

It reminded her of his silence.

“…Love?”

And Bella's mocking voice that broke the silence became a sword and pierced his heart.

“Love? Is that how you say you love someone?”

Kiehl reassured her that it was going according to the novel while changing it little by little and tinkered it to his liking.

“So that’s why I thought this was all my fault…?”

“…I’m sorry.”

I'm afraid you’ll hate me.

With that handsome hair, how cleverly he had made it up. Unable to understand him, Bella slapped him on the cheek, and one side of his cheek was stained red.

“That is not love. It’s just an obsession.”

Who digs these traps to have someone they love?

I love you, so I've been killing it, hoping that this greed won't grow.

“Do you know what you did?”

The only thing she wanted was for the novel to be completed according to the original story. Even if it didn’t work like the original story, at least it should have kept her out of the novel.

“If you really loved me, then you should have killed me.”

That was the only time she could finish this novel.

“You deceived me.”

“I’m sorry…”

As much as she loved him, the sense of betrayal rushed at her like a tidal wave. Feeling like everything would be quieted down, she spat out harsh words.

“I hate you. I hate you like crazy.”

She wanted to punish Rohan, who knew nothing… who she thought had twisted this novel just by his presence.

…How could the person she cared so much about knowingly deceive her?

“I hate you.”

Still, no matter how much she hurt him or no matter how much she poured out her emotions, the resentment did not go away.

“Don’t look for me. I made it clear.”

As large wings spread behind Bella's back, Kiehl hastily grabbed her arm.

“Where are you going… Don't go.”

“Let go.”

“I told you the truth…”

She said she would never see him again if he lied.

Still, Bella kept her feet on the ground and slowly flapped her wings through the air. As he wept, he grabbed her back as she climbed high, his voice quivering as though he was holding on to his last lifeline.

“I’m sorry… I was too presumptuous.”

He accepted the calamity that befell him.

“I don't mind if you hate me… Just stay by my side.”

Bella just wanted to be angry. Right now, she didn’t want to fall for that crying face.

“I don't even want… to see you now.”

“Then, Bella won’t even notice me….”

“….”

“Just stay where I can see you.”

“I don’t want to.”

“I will do whatever Bella tells me to do. I’ll… I'll put Rosanne on the throne.”

Bella looked down at him stunned.

“So please stay by my side…”

“Then, can you love Rosanne?”

Kiehl could not answer. Even if he came all the way to this abyss and gave up everything else, he could not yield to this.

Loving her…

Bella shook her head, tearing the part of the dress he was holding with her hand.

“Don’t make me feel bad by crying like that.”

Kiehl felt that the curse he had heard in this place had now begun.

— “Someday… I hope you get the same back.”

He felt more foolish than Rosanne, whom he always thought was foolish. Even though she was rejected, Rosanne was eager to start a new life… while he couldn’t.

“Please don’t go…”

Worried that she would really go away like this, he repeated.

“My heart, you have it.”

Finally, he resorted to threatening her with his life.

“If you leave now, I will die.”

Hearing that, she looked down at him coldly.

“If you don’t want to, you can’t take it out.”

“I see… This was your trick, after all.”

Bella only let out a ridiculous laugh.

The person who put the heart in was the only person who could take it out. How much he loved her? He had been tied up because he loved her.

“…Disgusting.”

Her hand pierced his chest, unlike when Iwer put it in, unlike when he opened the wound little by little…

“Heup…”

Her hand, which was forced to squeeze in, gave him pain as if it would be ripped off.

‘Don't go…’

Without hearing a single word of his desperate call, Bella turned around and flew towards the sky.

…He loved her so much that he wanted to have it all.

…The way she thought she had to give up to love was so different.

The moonlight that night laughed at their differences.
