136 – Duet[Duet](1)
#Duet[Duet](1)
“Just one thing.”
“… ….”
“Just hand over your sister’s body.”
Arn Hill said, gently extending her hand.
I could sense from her hand gestures that she was very serious, unlike her usual playful nature.
“It is my body…” ….”
Cecil muttered as she looked at the hand held out to her.
Contains love, memories, and time with Julius.
This body was sculpted step by step by his gentle touch.
Pass it over?
“I don’t like it.”
It was a proposal not worth worrying about.
The corner of Arnhill’s eyes slightly curved at the immediate answer without even the slightest hesitation.
“Why? “Is there a reason you’re so obsessed with that body?”
She opened her mouth in a seductive yet cunning voice.
Looks like it’s an attempt to deceive you with plausible sophistry.
Even though he is not a real devil, he does this very sincerely.
“She always talks about ‘true love’ and other embarrassing things that even a young girl like her wouldn’t say.”
In a sweet heavenly voice, it whispers wickedly.
Slowly. Approaching Cecil very slowly. Arnhill tilted her head to the side.
Her hand, which was outstretched towards Cecil, still did not move at all.
“Watching her older sister walk. I also thought about it once. “I wonder what true love is.”
“… ….”
“I was curious about love, so I tried it myself. “I assimilated this body, that is, Elania’s spirit.”
──Why don’t we just run away somewhere and live together? If it’s a child, you can have another one. I will give birth to you.
What I said to Erman one day while standing in the basement hallway of the central church.
Those words, which were extremely weak, did not come from Arnhill’s own will.
“Love only makes existence weak.”
She was simply a woman who was Erman’s lover.
This was said because she assimilated the spirit of Princess Elania.
“But it was still good. “For me, who had lived only in blood, intrigue, and tragedy, such trivial happiness felt like the ultimate pleasure.”
In her trivial words, she reveals her true feelings that she has been hiding from her woman, who has transformed into ‘her queen’ who will cut her own throat.
“I’m not really curious, and I don’t want to know.”
Of course, for Cecil, whose way of thinking revolves solely around Julius, it was a story that did not pique any interest.
One step. Cecile walked towards Arnhill and opened her mouth.
“Who would listen to the trivial stories of a lowly person like you? A bird flying in the sky? Or a rat snooping in the gutter? “Rather than saying things like you, it’s more interesting to hear a beggar lamenting the fate of a beggar lying face down in an alley.”
In front of Julius, he moves his sweet, beautiful lips and pours out extremely bitter words.
“You’re talking too harshly, don’t be like that. “Listen a little more.”
Arnhill shrugged her shoulders at the harsh words that were so harsh that they told most evil women to go away.
“Do you know anything? “After listening to everything, I wonder if you will feel like handing yourself over to me.”
“Bullsh*t.”
Cecil looks like she has sincere contempt.
The corner of Arnhill’s mouth twitched slightly at the words of confidence that something like that would never happen.
“They say true love is love that is directed at the inside, not the outside. “If we focus on appearances, how can we call it true love?”
The more you have such a big-hearted nature, the less likely you are to get back up again once you are broken.
“You’re like that too, right? Even if Julius is cursed and his appearance changes, you will still love him, right?”
Spreads the most effective and efficient poison for Cecil.
“Another nonsense.”
Cecil chuckled at Arnhill’s absurd words. I shook my head as if it were all the same.
“There is no curse in this world that would harm Julius. “Because he’s just that type of person.”
Julius, who possessed a constitution of “Constancy,” Had an invulnerable constitution that was impervious to any curse.
It’s not that it’s not, but Cecil himself walked it himself.
Every night, he cast a “Curse of love” That would make him love her forever, but he was feeling unfair because nothing worked.
“That’s what they say. Who doesn’t know that the damned Inquisitor is such a ridiculous guy? So? “What is the answer?”
“Of course I love you. “There is no way my love could be shaken by such an insignificant happening.”
Likewise, Cecil gave the answer without any hesitation.
The more powerful the devil is in his heart, the stronger the “Curse of Truth” That prevents him from telling lies.
Currently, Cecil has entered the realm of the divine with the help of Julius.
The words that flow from those cherry-like lips are truly ‘absolute.’
“That’s right. “If I had been shaken by something like that, my sister, who was just my chess piece, wouldn’t have been able to come and kill me like this.”
And that’s what I mean.
No matter what Julius looked like, Cecil’s love would never waver.
Well, if she had been a woman who fell in love just because of her beautiful appearance, Cecil would never have caught Julius’s eye in the first place.
If it’s obvious, it’s obvious.
‘I got caught.’
Arnhil licked his lips as he slowly felt the painting was completed.
A picture like a magnificent wind-up clock, interlocking harmoniously, flashed before my eyes.
“But. Then… “Aren’t you curious?”
“What?”
With a perplexed expression, Cecil narrowed her eyes.
“The love my sister gave Julius is a love worthy of being called ‘supreme’.”
“Of course. Because I am Julius Tapnel’s ‘one and only’ wife.”
“…… But is Julius’ love the same as her sister’s? “Is this the kind of love that is worthy of being called supreme?”
“… ….”
Cecil’s mouth did not open.
He just glared at Arnhill with his lips, which were as red as a cherry, tightly closed.
The blind spots were accurately explored.
Arnhil continued, delving into the ‘anxiety’ that was the essence of Cecile’s nature, which she could not overcome even after becoming a devil.
“Aren’t you curious? Would Julius have given her love again even if her sister had appeared as a raw devil herself?”
If she is not now, she will never be able to resolve it, and she will just have to live with it in her arms.
Just one question.
[As expected of Julius Tapnel. Even though Cecil appeared in the form of a disgusting devil.]
─You… love.
She smiled softly, gently touching her cheek.
So……
Would you have whispered her love?
“Or did she, who was called a peerless person, love that shell?”
Woe! A dazzling radiance emanated from the princess’s shoulders, where the spirit of Arnhil resided.
“If you give me that body, I will prove it to you. “The true intentions of a man named Julius Tapnel that even he himself does not know.”
Soon. When the celestial splendor fades away.
Arnhill’s back, from the shoulders to the lower back.
Three pairs of large wings that only archangels can have have grown.
“There is only one [Bet]. “With just one bet, this can all be over.”
Golden, light pink, blue. …… And silence.
The familiar symbolic colors of the archangels interlock and intertwine, revealing the brilliant colors of heaven.
She spoke as she spread her three pairs of wings colored with five colors of light.
“I am a devil with a love that will never fade.”
Want to make a bet with me?
The fifth angel of Rome, whose name is not even left behind.
Her identity.
「Arnel, the Angel of Sin」.
After a long time, the angel Arnel finally revealed his true self for the first and last time.
She opened her arms wide and took the poor devil into her arms.
She now felt with her whole body the body of ‘Cecil Lionel Ta’ who would soon bring her happiness.
“It’s just a simple bet. I tempt him with your body and you protect him. If he holds out, I will return ‘Cecile’s’ body to you. But…… If he gives in to temptation.”
Slowly stroking Cecil’s hair, which was softer than silk, Arnel whispered into her ear, keeping his voice quiet.
“I will replace you. That’s what you truly wanted: to be able to hold your head high in front of your loved one. “I will play the noble ‘Cecil Lionelta.'”
“… ….”
“He only has the appearance of a hideous devil. A man who abandons you like a devoted partner, looks at you with contempt, and spews out abusive language. It doesn’t suit you. So, if that happens. “I myself will make sure that foolish man is immersed in eternal lies.”
Of course… …. You must be confident, right?
Because you believe in Julius. The type of love you gave and the type of love he showered on you will be the same.
“… “I won’t doubt it.”
“… ….”
“If you are right, it is a bet you will never lose. So this may not even be a price.”
I could feel a slight tremor coming from Cecil’s delicate body in my arms.
Am I trembling with anxiety, or is it an uncontrollable impulse?
Either way. The result has already been decided.
This foolish woman, who will be bound forever by proof of love, has no choice but to accept this bet.
If you trust Julius, you will readily accept this offer for nothing in return. If you don’t completely trust Julius……
‘I’m going crazy with curiosity. Will they actually submit to me in the guise of ‘Cecil’? Or will I choose to be reduced to a shadow or something?’
Either way, Cecil ultimately has no choice but to accept this bet.
The greater your love and devotion to him, or the greater your faith.
Because it is a version that we have no choice but to accept.
“…… ♪♬”
Like that.
I declared checkmate in my mind and hummed softly for a moment.
A small voice was heard from Cecile, whose tremors had subsided.
“… “I am Julius.”
…… Believe.
A faint voice that could die out at any moment.
However, the words themselves were definitely closer to accepting a bet.
“Huh.”
I was caught.
Now, the body of ‘Cecil Lionelta’ is mine. Now I can be happy too!
I was cheering on the inside, but on the other hand, I was thinking about how I could roast and boil Julius.
Cecil continued speaking.
“I have no doubt that I trust Julius.”
“Okay. I’m sure so. “He is truly a trustworthy man.”
When Cecile said that she had no doubt that she trusted Julius, Arnel patted her on the back. Her head also nodded repeatedly.
‘What a stupid b*tch.’
Hurry and hand over that body.
Come on!
Arnel was confident.
He was confident that if he had Cecil Lionel Ta’s body, he would be happy.
‘Better then. ‘If only I had been in a relationship with Julius instead of you.’
Me too… I could have been saved.
Your happiness should have been mine. It was supposed to be mine!
Holding Cecil tightly. Stroking her head.
Arnel bit her lip tightly. Her resentment boiled up from deep within her heart.
‘You are just like me. Why are you trying to be happy? ‘Why only you!’
Arnel knows.
She knew that Cecile was an evil woman by nature, just like herself. She is a woman who, if she is not tied down to someone, will become infinitely cruel to the point of surpassing herself.
But why?
Are you saying that Cecil is loved by everyone and she herself is looked down on by everyone?
‘There is only one difference.’
Heresy Inquisitor, Julius Tapnel.
A poison sent to kill a hero called him.
Cecil Lionelta was happy to meet him.
Even though she jumped into the gutter of her own will, her happy life rolls in by itself.
All of that is Julius.
If it’s because of that guy.
Everything becomes clearer.
‘I’m glad I didn’t kill Julius. Really… ‘I’m so glad.’
That’s why Arnel praised his past self for not killing Julius.
Really, I almost destroyed the [Ordinary happiness] I had been searching for for thousands of years with my own hands.
‘I’m confident. Because imitation is my specialty. If only I could become a more perfect Cecil. He will definitely choose me.’
Change your perspective.
Her man, who had been a thorn in her eyes, somehow felt lovely.

As long as I could get Cecil’s body, I was going to help him with all my heart.
Yes. If only I could get Cecil’s body.
Peoeook───
“───Ugh!”
If only I could get Cecil’s body,
Of course I am.
You will be happy.
Arnel stepped back, clutching his nose as he felt an unfamiliar pain coming from his face.
“Ugh.”
Blood was leaking out from my nose, which was completely shattered.
It wasn’t just a nosebleed, it was a double nosebleed.
“How does it taste?”
Piercing through the bright light that always protects the angel’s body. The identity of what hit Arnel’s nose.
That’s right.
“My headbutt has been known since ancient times as the best stone head in Darkana.”
That’s right.
It was the head.
Cecil licked her lips while rubbing her bright red, swollen forehead. The lips, which were bright red like the forehead, looked very attractive.
“…… “Such undignified behavior!”
Arnel, who had barely managed to steady his staggering body, burst into anger.
I shouted as I roughly adjusted my broken nose bone.
“I’m going to make it big!”
“This is all I can give to a b*tch who covets someone else’s man. I know it with honor. The women I headbutted were all high-ranking noble ladies. “They were fire foxes who were much more dangerous than you.”
Arnel’s words asking if he would go to the point of life or death.
However, Cecil just showed a casual attitude and put her hand in the pocket of her skirt.
“Aren’t you curious?! Julius, who will Julius choose? Is his love really worthy of you? “I’m not even curious———!”
“I’m not curious. “Well, I already know the answer, right?”
Cecil smiled brightly, showing something she had taken out of her skirt pocket.
“Julius will definitely choose you.”
What was in Cecil’s hand was a jewel.
A bright red gem that looks as if fresh blood has hardened.
“Abandon me. I will choose you. Like me, who isn’t pretty. “I will definitely throw it away like a devoted partner.”
Soon, Cecile. I slowly brought the large jewel in my hand to my mouth.
Only then did Arnel learn the identity of the jewel in Cecil’s hand.
P.
The identity of the jewel in Cecil’s hand was someone’s blood that had stagnated like a jewel.
Cesil has a personality that is close to being stubborn. Whose blood is that? This will be self-evident without even having to ask.
──Gulp.
“Do I trust Julius? Yes, that’s right. “I have no doubts about Julius.”
Amplifies the power of the devil.
Cecil, who had swallowed a priest’s blood, and even that of an angel’s representative, as much as a person’s worth in one mouthful, continued.
Gulp.
From her feet.
The turbulent shadows began to engulf the earth.
Teook!
White arms protruded from the shadows that rippled like waves. It was the arm of a slender woman.
It’s like…… It looked similar to Cecil’s arm.
“I have no doubt that he will definitely turn a blind eye. “It’s easy for men to abandon their first wife and take a concubine.”
From the spreading shadow, something slowly begins to crawl out.
Countless women with brown hair.
Cecil is the power of the devil.
The most powerful demon that can be called the “24 High-ranking Demon.”
“Come.”
Nirhil.
Cecil smiled brightly as she summoned hundreds of “Nirhil,” The emperor’s nightmare.
“The devil doesn’t accept a bet unless he wins. “Have you even forgotten such a simple rule?”
“… ….”
“Don’t try to play tricks, you lowly thing. Julius is definitely my husband. Will your heart not be shaken even if you see me losing my appearance? “I’m definitely curious.”
“… ….”
“But before all that. Julius. “Inquisitor Julius Tapnel.”
It’s mine.
And I cannot allow my possessions to leave my hands even for a moment.
Not even for a single moment.
