Chapter 7 – How He Grew To Be Delicious

It was the day she finally moved out of the inn and into the mansion.

They had nothing to pack, so they moved out rather quickly when they got their furniture.

The mansion had four rooms on the first floor and four on the second floor. Upon climbing a large staircase in the hall, Bella found a symmetrical hallway with two rooms on the left and right.

Bella opened Kiel's door on the second floor. "This is your room now."

Kiel had never had a room of his own except the one he used to live in the Imperial Palace. He unconsciously turned his eyes to the window, which was quite large.

‘There's no bars.'

Bella was embarrassed because the room only had a bed and looked spacious. "A closet and a desk or something will come soon. I ordered it because I didn't bring much to the countryside."

She tucked Kiel into bed. "It's my home, but make yourself at home, okay?"

Kiel pulled the blanket over him and smoothed the sheets over his body.

"The room across the hallway is my room, so come anytime if anything happens, okay?"

Kiel looked cute, even as he dozed off.

‘What are you so wary of?'

Bella put Kiel to sleep and immediately headed to the basement of the mansion with Zhanbar.

"That's perfect."

It was dark and damp, but it was a perfect place to use magic.

The mansion was bigger than Bella thought. Since there were eight rooms, one room was used as Bella's study, and the other room was used separately, but there were four rooms left.

The number of people to manage was insufficient for Zhanbar.

Everyone who worked here had to be a demon knowledgeable about the human world.

"Are you going to recall?"

"Yes. Let us call the demons living in the human world."

"Why would such pathetic bastards… If you're going to do that, why didn't you bring more from the demon world?”

Some demons disguised themselves in the human world.

‘It's better than coming with a cockroach.'

Bella raised her foot and set it back down to recall.

‘I'm glad I didn't have to memorize cheesy spells.'

Bella closed her eyes and began to see images of demons hiding in the human world.

"What about him?"

Bella opened her eyes when she saw the faint image of the devil. When she turned her palm upward, a demon in human form slowly appeared over the summoner. It was a red-haired man who played the role of Ojiral when he bought a mansion.

"Oh, you’re the lady I saw at the inn. Was it the imperial wizard?"

As soon as the man appeared, Bella frowned. The red-haired man was rather talkative.

"This is a Majok Summoner. How did you summon me?"

“How? Everything's under my control, so I can summon you."

"Haha. Me? I'm under you?"

Zhanbar, watching closely, said, "Jenkins… Princess, why did you call this guy?"

"You know him?"

"No."

Bella changed her question. “You know the devil?”

"No."

Zhanbar’s forehead was creased as if he had no intent to hide his displeasure.

"I am an anti-demon race which was kicked out of the demon world 200 years before the princess was born. I am Jenkins."

A half-demon race born and despised by both demons and humans.

‘But that guy named Jenkins…'

Somehow the atmosphere seemed a little strange. As soon as Zhanbar appeared, Jenkins shut his mouth.

"Would you like to work for me?"

"What?"

"I need a servant who knows the human world well. I think you’d be helpful here."

Zhanbar answered, rather than Jenkins. “No, send him back, Princess.”

"You told me—” Bella was so irritated she couldn’t finish her sentence.

Jenkins glanced at Zhanbar before answering, “I will.”

"I will."

"Why the hell would you bring a human being? Or even a half-demon!?"

Zhanbar quickly turned into a leopard, allowing his fur to stand up. He bared his teeth, not even attempting to hide his hostility from Bella.

‘How scary.’

For a moment, Bella forgot that she was a powerful demon.

Bella sliced Zhanbar in half before he could start talking.

The Demon King had made Bella using his magic and hibernated.

Before Bella became an adult and absorbed all the power of the devil, it was easy for him to wake up, get rid of Bella, and create a new successor.

‘Honestly, that would be good for me. If I die, I'll be able to move on to the next novel. But… Kiel. Will he be okay?’

Bella wouldn’t be here to protect him.

While Bella looked at Zhanbar, he reattached his top, and Bella growled. Zhanbar didn’t seem to understand. He couldn’t understand why Bella was going to raise Kiel, a child who they happened to meet by chance.

“I’ll tell you about my grand plan later.”

There was only one way to make them understand.

"I'm thinking of using that kid to control the human world." Bella’s heart throbbed because she wasn’t used to lying.

Jenkins seemed suspicious.

Fortunately, however, Zhanbar’s eyes shone, and he gave a sultry smile. He bent one knee in front of Bella and bowed his head.

"I will do everything according to the master’s will…"

* * *

After Bella told Zhanbar of her plan, he no longer complained.

"No, it's not blood. It’s water!" Surprisingly, Jenkins was decent at cleaning.

‘I guess it's because there are human-like demons.'

He had been here for 200 years.

"Young Master, are you up?"

Jenkins treated Kiel politely, and Bella nudged Zhanbar’s leg. "Zhanbar, look. That's how you do it."

‘He’s reflecting and sulking.’

As Bella was wondering whether to comfort Zhanbar, she saw Kiel, who seemed exhausted.

"Kiel. What's wrong? You couldn't sleep last night, could you?"

"What a weak human being." Zhanbar rose from his seat and left the restaurant.

Bella wanted to go after him and hit him on the back of the head, but she was more concerned about Kiel. "Kiel, are you sick?"

Apparently, in the novel, Kiel avoided deaths several times because of divine power. Bella was worried that his weak body would suddenly collapse one day.

Kiel shook his head after a while.

"Let's eat. Eat well and grow well."

Kiel seemed to be reading Bella's countenance and carefully held the fork in his hand.

‘You’re good at using forks after I taught you.’

Jenkins then put a knife in Kiel's hand and said, "Sir, you should cut it with a knife."

Bella looked at Jenkins as if he were a tutor.

‘I'll leave Kiel's education to him.'

His education waS quite important. Bella couldn't tell what Kiel had learned while living as a wandering commoner in the novel.

‘Pork on your left hand. Who taught him this way?’

* * *

After the mansion affairs were sorted out to some extent, Bella set out for the next step. She had to make money to live in the human world, but more importantly… ‘I'm going to finish/complete the novel.'

To do so, she needed to organize the contents of the novel first. Bella went into her study in her free time, turned on her cell phone, and tried to sort out the novel.

But…

Kiel was very dark compared to the ‘children Bella knew’, and she was worried about that.

‘Are you uncomfortable, or do you not know how to play?’

Kiel stayed still like a doll every day.

Maybe that was why Bella would always lose focus when she saw Kiel.

"Would you like to read a book or something?"

Kiel nodded and took a book out of the study. It was only then that Bella realized he couldn’t read. He held the book upside down, pretending to read the words one by one.

"Kiel, can't you read?"

Then Kiel suddenly blushed and flipped his book up.

“Uhh…” It must have been very embarrassing, so he buried his face in the book to avoid looking at Bella.

"That's…”

Bela felt sorry for him, so she got up from her chair and sat next to Kiel. "It's all right. Of course, I don't know things unless someone taught me."

Bella took out the paper and told Kiel the alphabet one by one.

"Now, this is the K fas in cook. Clothes are…"

Bella had never taught a child in her previous life, so it was difficult to find a suitable example. All she could think of were handcuffs.

"Let's do clothes later. ‘Eung’ in ‘Lee eung’."

TL/N: I had to romanize it since the alphabets/characters are different from the English

It was very easy to give examples of food in the world. Besides, they were supposed to be from an animal kingdom, so Bella could give examples of animals.

"I'll start over from the first time. K is for kimchi. Oh, wait, not kimchi. G is for giraffes.”

They said he was smart in setting, but Kiel seemed to know how to write to a certain extent once he saw it.

"Kiel, you're so smart, aren't you? Look at this once and memorize it all?"

Kiel stopped writing as he felt awkward about the compliment.

"What a genius! It's great!"

Inwardly, Bella was praising herself.

‘I guess he’s talented but isn't his progress due to his brilliant teacher?'

Kiel smiled awkwardly and glanced at Bella.

‘I’m relieved. The people of the Animal Kingdom seem to be simple.'
