Chapter 63 – Not Filial

After eating, Bella tried to figure out how different it was from the novel. However, maybe it was because it had been a while since she last ate a good meal, drowsiness hit her.

"Ah… I feel drowsy, and it’s so good.”

When she saw a sofa sitting beautifully in the hallway of the villa, she laid down unknowingly. As Bella lay down on the sofa, she woke up and saw the garden she had been wandering around.

‘Yeah… After all, whether I know it today or tomorrow, things don’t change.’

She now wanted to enjoy the beauty she had never seen in her dreams.

‘…Let’s just rest comfortably today.’

“I want to lie down, too!”

“You go to the sofa next to me and lie down there. This is mine.”

"Yes!"

When Bella saw the sunset in the distance, she was moved by subtle emotions as if she was watching a movie. Suddenly a shadow appeared, when she glanced up, Kiehl was standing with his back to the sun.

“You’re here.”

He said to Bella, who was lying on her side, as he sat on the floor to make her eye level.

“It was said that if you lie down immediately after eating, you will become a cow.”

It wasn't Bella who responded to that, but Pur who was lying next to her.

“I am not a cow! I’m a proud bear!”

“Pur, go to my room and dust it.”

If she didn’t give Pur work she would most likely keep sticking to her side.

"Yes! It’s been a while since I cleaned with this body!”

Saying so, Pur clenched her fists and turned around. Seeing this, Kiehl smiled softly as if he was looking at daily life in the old mansion’s times.

“How was the meal?”

“It was great. Much more than Iwer’s.”

Then, Bella rolled her eyes and added.

“Isn’t Iwer here?”

To him, she was the cutest when she was serious. He had been looking for her so much, he was sure she’ll be lying here.

“I used to think that if you really lie down, you would become a cow.”

Although he didn't want to be an animal, he wanted to be a member of the Animal Kingdom… Abandoning everything as the Prince.

“It’s not it, right?”

“Did you believe it? I was just telling you not to be lazy.”

“I lied down after eating without Bella’s knowledge.”

Kiehl put his arms on the sofa and rested his face on them. It was a bit dark in the Demon Realm, so it was hard to see. Still, it was better to see Bella in a bright place.

“The kids told me what happened before I came to the human world.”

“….”

“They said you had a lot of trouble?”

Bella uttered as she reached out and grabbed Kiehl's cheek lightly.

"…Thank you. I hated doing that.”

He only smiled.

‘She really couldn’t remember anything.’

Still, where could he see this face again…?

The mountain he had to climb ahead was too much.

"It's okay."

“Every time you say it’s okay.”

He just wanted to fall asleep, watching her like this.

“I feel drowsy like this.”

"Right? But, why did you find me?”

“I prepared some clothes to wear for a while while you were here…”

At those words, Bella stood up.

"Dress?"

She then glanced down at the clothes she was wearing.

“Did I wander around like this all day?”

Even though she was dressed in white, it was now covered in dirt from rolling around in the garden.

“I had been wearing something like this?”

The place where Kiehl took her was right next to the bedroom where she was.

"Oh, my gosh… ”

Bella couldn't shut her mouth as soon as the door opened.

"I bought something similar to the clothes you wore in the mansion, but it's probably a little bigger."

It was full of the clothes that Bella loved to wear at the mansion, from comfortable trousers, dresses, and skirts. Nevertheless, it was made of luxurious fabrics that were soft to the touch every time she touched it, unlike what she was wearing.

“Crazy… Look at this fabric.”

From completely black fabrics to fabrics that have a slight gray or indigo hue.

“When did you prepare all this?”

A deep emotion came over her.

“…It was just prepared in a hurry.”

“It’s all my style.”

"You like it?"

Bella put her hands together and glanced at Kiehl.

“You are the best.”

The next moment, she hugged Kiehl tightly and rubbed his head.

“I love you the most.”

And, as she looked up at him and her eyes twinkled, Kiehl swallowed a gulp. It was because he kept remembering that time in the Demon Realm. The moment Kiehl tried to put his hand on her shoulder—

“What should I wear first?”

—Bella got away from his chest and excitedly began to pick dresses.

“How about this?”

“…Anything.”

“No, I’m going to wear this.”

It wasn't a question in the first place. Already in the dressing room that Bella had always wanted, she was immersed in a world of her own, staring at the clothes reflected in the mirror.

"Oh, my God."

Moments later, Bella showed up as if she was on a fashion show.

“I absolutely love it!”

It was the image of Bella he had always dreamed of.

‘I didn’t know you'd be wearing that dress…’

Kiehl couldn't bear to say that he bought her those clothes every time he wanted to see her in them. He used to stare blankly at times as if he was possessed, imagining that the clothes were her even though it was clothes that she had never worn before.

As he approached cautiously, he grabbed her wrist and buttoned it up.

‘She’s too thin…’

Although she was so skinny against the size of her clothes, Bella didn't seem to care.

"Thank you. Our Kiehl, you are so filial.”

“…I am not filial.”

Kiehl never imagined that Bella would express this dark temptation to him.

“Yes, yes.”

But, Bella gave a soft hug to him and went outside.

“…What should I do now?”

* * *

The twins were waiting in Kiehl's room for him to come.

"Ha."

As Rinne sighed, Rio grabbed the ball he was throwing and asked, “Wait a minute. He said he was going to find Bella and came right back?”

“It’s not that…”

It was because she heard a noise by chance while she was looking for Bella.

—“Did I wander around like this all day? Wearing something like this?”

The clothes were Rinne’s. Hearing that, for some reason, she had a premonition that Bella would not like her.

“Rio, can I sign a contract with the Demon King?”

“Didn’t you give up when the summoning failed?”

“I lent her my clothes to say thank you.”

“Honestly, you just said that the maids’ clothes are better.”

Rinne let out a big sigh.

“Still, it’s the neatest of all my clothes.”

“It’s not really neat.”

It was just like a piece of white fabric with holes for the neck and arms. Not long after, when Kiehl came in, they, who had been lying on their backs, hurried to their feet.

“Can’t you just deliver what I need to review today?”

He sighed as he sat down at his desk without saying hello, looking at the pile of documents.

“Oh, Kiehl. You need to check this, too.”

“…Ha. Marquis Vivre is not doing anything.”

Kiehl wasn't on vacation.

Until a few months ago, this was the territory of Marquis Vivre. He was the one who opposed Kiehl the most in Bella's book and pushed for the capture of the Demon King.

“That’s why you were so impatient.”

Before learning Bella's identity, Kiehl could not go to the Demon Realm because he didn't have the divine power that he should have had. Therefore, he discovered in advance the corruption of Marquis Vivre, which would be revealed quite later in the novel, and dismissed all his titles.

“Once the land is cleared up, all we have to do is resolve the civil complaints first.”

Currently, all the territories of the Marquis have been transferred to the Empire, and Kiehl, the heir of the Imperial Family, had officially managed it.

“Just put it aside.”

“Aren’t you watching now?”

“We have been cleaning the land all day since yesterday. I’m going to wrap the things we reviewed today, and Bella and I…”

“Rohan wanted you to submit the complaint report to the Imperial Palace by the day after tomorrow.”

Kiehl frowned and sighed.

“Then, why didn’t you give it to me first?”

He came to the villa of the Imperial Palace with this as an excuse, so even Kiehl couldn't delay it. The twins' job was to organize and summarize complaints by category since he couldn’t check all the documents.

The external reason was this, and Rinne was helping because of other intentions.

"Hey… Kiehl. What should I do to be friends with the Demon King?”

When she talked to him about other things, he didn't even respond. However, to Bella's story, Kiehl calmly answered.

“Bella will like you?”

It was also an unexpected answer.

In his eyes, Rinne had a lot in common with Mary, whom Bella had especially loved in the old days. First of all, both of them are women, full of motivation, and quick-witted.

“Then, if I ask her to sign a contract with me, will she accept it?”

Strictly speaking, Rinne failed to summon her, but, according to Zanbar, it was a matter of sacrifice.

‘So, if the sacrifice was used properly, she would have summoned Bella without any problem…’

On the other hand, Kiehl thought differently. She even helped with the summons, so he was sure she'll listen to Rinne.

“Why a contract? If you have anything to ask, tell me.”

“I want to submit a paper to the magical academia about radio magic.”

As soon as Kiehl heard those words, he groaned and coughed.

"Stealing Bella's invention?"

“What do you mean steal? I’m borrowing it.”

“…No idea."

He thought carefully. If Rinne asked that, Bella would gladly say, ‘Yes, of course.’ It would be different if she hadn’t seen Rinne in her life.

Meanwhile, Rinne spoke as she looked out the window.

“I think the Demon King is nicer than I thought, wouldn’t she say it’s okay?”

At that, he turned his back and turned his eyes to where her gaze was.

Bella had been lying in the garden all day gazing at the sky or smiling at the flowers. He looked at Bella happily for a moment and was immersed in emotion for a moment.

“Why is she so cute?”

"Cu…te?”

Rio glanced out the window, while clearing the papers Kiehl had reviewed.

“I thought you didn’t like a personality like Rosanne?”

“…Why are you talking about her here?”

“She’s kind of cute, too.”

“Rio Proha. Compare apples to apples.”

From Rio’s point of view, it was no different from Rosanne. Especially at this moment, Bella was rubbing herself against the tree.

“No, I think that the Demon King is a bit quirky.”

It seemed like she was talking to herself in a pretty loud voice, ‘Hello tree, nice to meet you.’ He did not say that she seemed a little crazy but expressed that she was a bit quirky.

Then, Kiehl's glared at Rio and threw a word.

“Anything about Bella is good.”

“Yes, Your Highness. I made a slip of the tongue.”
