Chapter 62 – The Savior, Dazzlingly Radiant and Beautiful

Kiehl still remembered it crystal clear as her sharp claws on his neck were aiming for his life.

It would be nice to have died… Even though he acted impulsively, he thought Bella knew and accepted his feelings. He thought she had a desire that would soon be his desire.

“…Get some rest.”

He stood up quietly.

“Hey, Kiehl.”

Wondering if she had caught a tiny dot of her memory, he quietly replied.

“Yes.”

“By any chance… My luggage is…”

On the other hand, Bella had one reason why she was prepared to change the original story. It looked like something had changed already, so she had to check it out.

‘If I lose it, it will be a disaster.’

She still had a copy of the novel in the mansion, so if she needed it, she could go to the mansion. Since there was no search function for the copy, there was a disadvantage of having to search for things one by one.

“Pur brought everything.”

At that, Bella jumped up.

“What? Did she come as well?”

Even though Jenkins and Iwer had already remained in the human world, it seemed that not just one or two things have changed.

‘…I said to leave her behind.’

Nevertheless, it was fortunate that Pur brought her luggage. She should check it out quickly. Because she couldn’t even die on time, if it didn’t end like the original story, it meant that she would live a thousand years as it is.

“Then, first of all, my luggage…”

As she got up from the bed, Kiehl caught her.

“Bella, you said you couldn’t recover.”

However, the impatient Bella pulled open the curtains that he had closed for her.

“Ah…”

As she closed her eyes again and froze because of the intense light, Kiehl grabbed her from behind and spoke in a very low voice.

“Can’t you just rest?”

Although she was still dazzled, Bella slowly got used to the light.

“…Bella?”

She slowly turned her head.

“Really here is the… human world.”

The blue sky could be seen out of the large window, and flowers were in full bloom on the green grass…

“Ah…”

Without taking a step back, Bella stepped out of the garden with her bare feet on the grass as if she had been possessed.

“Oh, my God…”

She laid down, stroking the grass before turning her body to gaze at the sky. How long had she missed it…?

“Really… ”

Even in prison, she would go out every hour to see nature, Bella hadn’t seen this beautiful sight even once in four years. Unlike the Demon Realm, which was always filled with screams or strange laughter, the chirping of various birds became music and filled her ears.

“The human world… This is the human world…”

As she glanced up at the sky, filled with emotion, Bella suddenly saw Kiehl approaching next to her. He asked, wiping his long, slender fingers around her eyes.

“It’s dazzling.”

She slowly took Kiehl’s look into her eyes.

Even though he didn’t want to do that, he stabbed her with the holy sword and came all the way here. Until recently, she was only paying attention to the original story. It was now forever goodbye to the gloomy and dark times of the past.

Her savior, dazzlingly radiant and beautiful…

“…Thank you.”

After hearing the news that Bella had woken up, the demons started looking for her. They thought she would be in the room, of course. As soon as Jenkins found Bella, he opened his mouth, and couldn’t shut it.

“Pur… Is the Miss going crazy?”

Bella was lying on her back in the garden, rolling around.

But, for a while, when she saw Zanbar’s face obscuring the sky, she raised her body in bewilderment.

“Why are you here?”

At that, Iwer responded while running in a hurry.

“Oh, the Miss said you wanted Sir Zanbar to be there, too!”

Bella looked at Iwer curiously with her eyes wide open.

‘Did… I?’

She never really thought of it.

“Besides, there’s Jenkins here as well!”

“If there’s Jen, don’t you not want to come anymore…?”

“….”

For a moment, when the stillness quietly flows.

“Princess!”

From a distance, Pur jumped on all fours and hugged Bella. Obviously, she would be mad at Pur and tell her to stop, though Bella patted her as soon as she saw Pur.

“I told you that in the human world, I’m not a princess, call me Miss.”

Pur looked like the teddy bear she had not seen in a long time.

‘She hasn’t grown up at all.’

Of course, in the Demon Realm, she was much bigger than Bella. However, nothing had changed from the last time she was in the human world. She didn’t like to eat the demons, so Pur couldn’t develop her power at all in the Demon Realm.

In this case, she really liked Pur.

Except for interfering without notice, he was the kindest bear who did what Bella told her to do.

“Can you just walk around like this? You’re a talking bear?”

“If I drink the Princess’s blood, I think I can become a human as well!”

“Yes. Think only of your own insidious plans.”

“The Young Master said it was okay!”

At that time, Jenkins, whom she had not seen in a long time, also approached her with a smirk.

“Miss.”

“Long time no see.”

However, Jenkins heard Bella’s voice so much that it didn’t seem like it had been a long time.

“Miss, now that you have crossed over to the human world, what are your plans?”

The bet hr had already made with Iwer, it seemed that Iwer had almost won. Before Iwer went to the Demon Realm with Kiehl, she left behind a clear saying telling him to fulfill his promise when she would bring Zanbar with her.

Nonetheless, Jenkins decided to trust the demons’ indifference… Just like Zanbar did for two hundred years.

“Did you run away to the human world now?”

And, Zanbar was expressing displeasure towards her… How dignified did he speak? Nevertheless, Bella listened indifferently, wiping her nose.

“You turned the Demon Realm into that kind of division, how are you going to deal with it?”

It had only been a few hours since she woke up, and it was already annoying.

“If you’re that worried, you go and fix it.”

‘Don’t tell me to do it, you do it.’

“Princess… Aren’t you coming back?”

Even now, when Bella raised her head, the scent of hope tickled the tip of her nose between the blue skies, cold winter, and fresh spring.

She never wanted to go back. Certainly, she didn’t take all her powers because she came in a hurry so she would have to go back. As far as Bella knew, she never went back — at least until the novel was finished.

“What are you going to do now? Will you stay here?”

‘What does he mean, what am I going to do…?’

She should check the current situation carefully and help it flow according to the original story. Still, she couldn’t just say these things to the demons.

‘Come to think of it…’

Bella brought out the words she had told them long ago in her memory.

“It’s all as planned. If we were going to invade the human world, we had to come over, didn’t we?”

“….!”

Zan Bar’s eyes widened, and he bent his knees as if impressed by the insight of the Demon King after being transferred. Meanwhile, Jenkins, who was looking at her, also opened his mouth. It was not long ago when she suddenly said that she would not come to the human world.

‘No matter how fickle you are…’

But, fortunately, it didn’t seem like they were going to question what she did.

“Now, everyone, go. Because I want to enjoy this air after a long time.”

When it seemed to be settled somewhat, Bella waved her hand, telling them to go away. Even though everyone had nothing to do, they turned around and went their separate ways.

Jenkins tapped Iwer’s side, who was frozen from the side.

“The bet is probably not over.”

“…Tsk.”

Meanwhile, the twins had quite a few questions about Bella. Especially since Rio had been looking for the Animal Kingdom for years.

Her unmistakable appearance was of a beauty to be seen standing at the top of the back alleys.

Bella was tall enough that the dress Rinne wore that reached her calf was only enough to reach her knees. Her jet-black hair, her cat-like red eyes raised, looked uncontrollably fierce. Still, a strangely attractive face.

Rinne gazed at Bella and remembered sitting in the chair with the men prostrated in high heels.

‘It’s so different from the Demon King I imagined…’

Of course, it was said that she had not yet received all the powers of the Demon King, though the Demon Knight must be the highest authority in the Demon Realm.

“Is that the person Kiehl was looking for?”

Rolling around with the teddy bear in the garden, she looked like a child without a worry. Seeing that, Rinne grabbed Jenkins passing by and pointed out the window.

“Grandpa Jen, is the Demon King really that kind?”

“No way. You’ve heard all the swearing indirectly.”

Unlike Rinne, who couldn’t match her imagination, Rio rather shrugged his shoulders.

“Kiehl said a lot about her being very kind.”

“She’s a Demon King, you idiot.”

While Bella ran through the garden with Pur in bare feet, Kiehl was very busy.

“Is the meal ready?”

“I will prepare within thirty minutes.”

“When will the clothes I ordered arrive?”

Now, Kiehl’s position as Crown Prince was strong, but before turning back time, he felt it deeply. Contrary to its splendid appearance, the Imperial Palace was a fierce place. Because of that, he wanted Bella to be greedy with him. That way, her desire to be there would increase even more.

…Be it power, greed, or luxury. It didn’t matter because he could fill all these things.

‘Seeing she liked it so much…’

Because he could have left and just lived in the mansion.

 

As dinner time approached, Bella’s eyes twinkled.

“Oh, dear…”

Kiehl had the Imperial Palace cook prepare a luxurious dinner with regional specialties of the Empire.

— “There’s no way the Miss like this!”

He was worried that Bella would turn into a real vegetarian.

“Kiehl, you are the best.”

Bella sat down in her seat, enchanted, with a fork and knife in her hands. She had a stomach ache in the Demon Realm after eating poisonous weeds. With each bite she took, she exhaled a long breath and thanked her still-alive sense of taste.

“Is it delicious?”

“I love it…”

She’d been slicing the meat for a long time, so she kept getting food flying off the plate. Still, Bella didn’t care.

“Maybe, this is heaven…?”

“What kind of Demon Princess is looking for heaven…”

Jenkins, who was opposite her, shook his head as he watched Bella stuffing it all over her mouth.

“I’m glad you liked it.”

Bella liked all of this.

Except that she, unfortunately, couldn’t eat all of these countless foods.

“…My stomach must have shrunk too much.”

“Then, I will eat it!”

Bella put the fork in her mouth as she looked at the leftover food sadly, Kiehl gazed at her with delight.

“Don’t worry, you can eat like this every time.”

As he laughed, he wiped her mouth with a handkerchief.

“Kiehl, I absolutely love you.”

That moment.

Kiehl understood the feelings of his ancestors who fell in love and got ruined.

“I’ll wipe it, too!”

Pur, sitting on the opposite side, saw this and wiped her face with a handkerchief that Juan had given Bella before.

Normally, Kiehl hated every time Pur interrupted although he was grateful for now… Otherwise, he’d get on his knees right now and say that he’d sacrifice his Empire to hear the passing words of ‘I love you.’
