Chapter 65: 65

Chapter 65 – Teasing

 

Bella was speechless for a moment.

“Ah… Pur….”

There had been times like this in the demon world that the screen was locked because it got smashed against Pur’s butt.

Even though the novel copy and the arrangement were in the mansion, it was a villa owned by the Imperial Palace near the capital, and it was quite far from the estate. Besides, it also wasn’t something anyone could do. If they found out what’s inside, they would be terrified.

‘…Should I run over there and come back?’

Bella sighed heavily.

‘Oh, I haven’t recovered yet.’

She thought it would take a few days to run that long distance. Since her magic was not restored, she eventually had to either ride a carriage on horseback.

‘Is it okay? Isn’t it enough if Kiehl and Rosanne just like each other…?’

The next morning, Bella stopped knocking in front of Kiehl’s door.

‘Is it too early?’

She wondered if she should have checked the clock. Like a custom in the underworld, she just woke up when the sun would rise.

‘Is he awake?’

Thinking that, she listened closely in front of the door, wanting to hear inside.

At that moment, Kiehl’s voice was heard from inside.

“Come in.”

It wasn’t the cute voice during his childhood with a bashful smile. His low voice was as cold and unfamiliar as the prince. At that, Bella opened the door and put only her head inside.

Kiehl didn’t even look at her. He was staring at the papers piled up like a mountain.

‘…I guess it’s because he’s the male lead.’

The white suit decorated with gold went quite well with him. When Juan Cruell wore similar clothes in the past, he looked like a silver hairtail.

‘He’s handsome.’

Even though she knew it, ut unlike what she saw in the Demon Realm, Kiehl, standing with his back to the morning sun, even looked holy. After looking at the documents for a while, he looked up at Bella at the door as she was silent.

“…What—”

As their eyes met, Kiehl stared blankly as if she was a ghost.

‘Why is he looking at me like that?’

Bella opened her mouth shyly to Kiehl.

“Are you awake already?”

“Bella…?”

“Can I come in?”

She cleverly knocked on the door with a playful face.

“Yes, come in.”

Kiehl hastily stood up and walked over to her.

“Surprised?”

“Ah… I didn’t expect you to come at this hour.”

“Then, should I come back later?”

When she stepped back slightly, Kiehl grabbed her wrist quickly and replied.

“I was just surprised.”

His face already showed signs of tiredness after waking up early in the morning.

‘Hmm… Shall we play some pranks?’

Bella gazed straight at him.

“Do I still look like Bella?”

The startled Kiehl let go of Bella’s wrist and bit his lip. He almost cried and frowned. At the moment, she thought his frightened face was cute.

“Well… Kiehl, I was joking.”

“…Are you really Bella?”

“Hahaha. Are you really deceived?”

Although Bella laughed, amused, Kiehl didn’t smile brightly again.

‘Did I go too far…?’

She never thought he’d be afraid of something like this.

“Sorry, did you think I was a ghost?”

Kiehl, still stunned, led Bella to the table.

“…Sit down please.”

Feeling apologetic, Bella deliberately threw something to make it bright, “Do you remember the ghost back then? The ghost who tormented you the first day you went to the mansion?”

“….”

“I threw it into the demon realm then. Do you know what she’s doing these days?”

“…I don’t know.”

“At first, the kids didn’t know how to play with it, so I taught them to play ball. Well… It seems like they still don’t know the rules.”

At her sullen voice, Kiehl raised the corners of his lips with maximum effort.

“…You say you cut her hair and use it as a ball?”

“Yes. So, don’t worry if you see ghosts. I’ll chastise them all.”

“…What if Bella appears in my dreams?”

She raised her hand and pinched Kiehl’s cheek slightly. He was now an adult and, in addition, the Crown Prince. However, unconsciously, her hand went out first.

“If I come out, it’s a lucky dream. Buy a lottery ticket the next day.”

“What is that?”

Now, there was a slight smile on his face. Kiehl then wrapped his hand over the back of Bella’s hand that was pinching his cheek.

“What’s going on in the morning?”

She eventually remembered her purpose for coming here. After all this, she almost forgot about it and turned around.

‘It’s because he’s handsome.’

When she saw something beautiful, she was captivated for a moment.

Bella asked Kiehl carefully.

“You said that you introduced me to the children whom you traveled with to collect the relics with twins…”

“They will be here in a little while. I’ll let you greet them then. Rinne knows Bella…”

For some reason, she thought he was only talking about the twins, so Bella cut him off first and asked, “When are you going to introduce me to Rosanne and Myu?”

An invisible nerve war has begun.

While they both know the novel, they have to hide what they know about each other.

…One wanted to go with the original story, and the other didn’t.

If Kiehl had not known the novel, he would have answered Bella’s questions graciously. Nonetheless, that was not the case anymore. He remembered Bella biting her nails with anxious eyes in the underworld.

 

—“No, if you found me while hanging out with Rosanne…”

 

The out-of-focus eyes and trembling hands were not what Kiehl wanted. Because of that, he decided he would take it slow. He had no choice but to set traps that couldn’t be escaped and couldn’t be broken.

…Traps and baits.

He knew it would be of no use if this little cat didn’t go there. In the end, he had no choice but to let Bella be mistaken.

“In fact… I am looking for her.”

…As written in the note.

Although he didn’t even remember the part about Rosanne as it was painted black.

 

—”No… It’s about love anyway, so if that’s the case, it doesn’t matter…”

 

He had been waiting for that long… so, he could wait a little longer. Meanwhile, Bella gazed at Kiehl’s serious face and thought deeply.

‘Anyway, they will meet again during the contest for the Crown Prince.’

He never once told her that he liked Rosanne. So, she remained with the thought of the passionate romance in the novel that she had read over the years.

Looking at the novel that looked like his diary, she naturally thought that his heart would turn to Rosanne. Besides, he said he was looking for her, so fortunately, it seemed to go with the original story.

‘…Why do I feel so strange?’

Bella wanted to ask what level he was with Rosanne, but her mouth didn’t open. It was because Peter’s death could change small things enough, it seemed difficult to compare them all one by one.

‘There is no need to confirm.’

The strange feelings passed by for a moment, and she sincerely wished for Kiehl’s happiness.

‘I can now comfortably be in the human world. Anyway, the two of them just have to love each other, right?’

…And, her happiness. All that remained was to enjoy the rest of the time and move on to the next novel when it was finished.

“Kiehl, you’ll see her soon. Don’t worry.”

“How does Bella know that?”

As she put her finger to her lips, she smiled brightly and answered.

“I know everything, though I won’t tell you.”

“….”

“Instead, I’ll help you whenever you need it.”

She wasn’t able to bless her, but Bella was determined that she would do everything in her power to help them both.

“What can you help me with?”

“Between you and Rosanne…”

At that moment, Kiehl’s eyes fluttered.

‘Does he think I’m… too interfering?’

Bella also once complained in her previous life whenever her sister asked, ‘Are you not dating these days?’ She was worried that she might do something bad to her sister-in-law. At this point, she decided to show all her cards.

“It’s not… I’ve scratched Rosanne before.”

“…Why?”

“I don’t know either, that’s when I turned into a cat.”

Kiehl’s eyes changed terribly.

“No way…”

“Why? Why…?”

“No wonder…”

“Why! Why!”

Having only aroused her curiosity, he said after thinking for a while.

“She was extremely afraid of cats. She was attacked by a cat demon when she was young.”

“…Right! That-that’s me.”

Kiehl looked a little angry.

‘Wow… Is he saying I shouldn’t touch what’s yours?’

However, Bella was rather relieved. It was nice to see him growling, ‘Don’t touch her,’ as if he was protecting her.

“Don’t worry. I won’t hurt her.”

 

When Kiehl thought of Rosanne, she would get angry if it was related to cats. While on a journey to collect relics, he once found a black cat in the village. Although he had never seen a cat follow a human, the cat played with its head on his leg.

At the time, Kiehl thought it was Bella.

After all, she was the princess of the animal kingdom, so maybe she went back to being an animal. Even if not, he wanted to remember Bella. But, in all likelihood, Myu interfered.

As expected, Bella said that Myu ‘would be helpful later.’

 

—”No, Rosanne has cat trauma.”

 

It was Kiehl’s trip, and he couldn’t understand why he had to care about Rosanne.

That day after seeing the cat, Rosanne, terrified, was startled and unwittingly got held in Kiehl’s arms. Meanwhile, the person he really wanted to hold was not even in this world, not even a single hair of hers.

Kiehl pushed her down straight away.

 

—”Cat… I’m, I’m sorry…”

 

If he got angry with Rosanne, who was suffering from such trauma, it felt like he would become the worst person in the world.

 

—“It was because a demon that looked like a cat tried to eat me when I was young… A black cat just like that cat.”

 

At that time, Kiehl didn’t know that Bella was a demon, so he didn’t like her comparing a demon to a black cat that looked exactly like Bella. And now, knowing that, Kiehl was angry in a different way.

“I’m rooting for you, so if you need help, feel free to tell me, okay?”

‘…Why is Rosanne like that? Does she want her to be a part of me from a young age?’

Anxiety rose to his throat, but he had to swallow it in the end. At that moment, he could feel Bella’s heart beating slowly and calmly. It seemed that relief and peace would come to her. Kiehl hid his trembling heart and slowly parted his lips.

“Then, will you help me? If I am having a hard time.”

“Of course. I won’t get caught anymore, so just say it anytime!”

He wanted to say that the place where his heart went was her, in front of Bella. Still, he didn’t want to confess to Bella, who had been waiting for so long, as if she was embracing his worries.

“Then… Do you remember Juan Cruell?”

“The hairtail?”

“…What?”

“N, no. Why Juan Cruell?”

So, he seduced the cat slowly… until she had only one choice left.

“Would you like to become the adopted daughter of Duchy Cruell?”
