32 – Liliana Aran (4)
Great Mountain Serpent.
A demon that occupies the lowest place among the high-ranking demons, of which there are only 24.
A legendary being who went crazy with endless hunger and swallowed a huge snake to create his own body.
Unbeknownst to anyone, during the era of the emperors when Telmere was active, the large snake that was the guardian deity of a small village that the emperor who walked the path of defeat was unable to obtain, was sealed by the angels who descended when the curtain of the sacred era opened. .
She was just a woman who lived by protecting her village and devouring the animal meat that they sacrificed, but because of the ‘Emperor’s Nightmare’ that was near her fate, she was branded as evil and suffered the humiliation of being beaten to death by Tapnell. I had to go through it.
After that, as many as 500 years passed, and until the seal was released at the hands of Saint Lyrum, she only wanted one thing.
-Wild pig. Meat. Indian ink. I want to.
All I could do was eat roast pork again, which was much more delicious than that of humans.
.
.
.
“Is this the place where the famous Taishan serpent is sealed?”
“Yes, this is where our cute youngest child sleeps.”
The name of her man, who has his brown hair neatly slicked back and neatly dressed in a pure white priest’s robe, is Erman.
The fallen saint looked at the lump of clay that clumsily imitated the woman chattering next to her and continued her speech.
“Of the 24 devils, he is the one who did not swallow evil until the last one… It is a bit unfair to call him a devil.”
“Our cute earthworm wasn’t originally a devil, so it’s only natural!”
“… What do you mean by that?”
The saint frowned slightly as he watched the devil casually mention that the Taishan serpent was not actually a devil.
“The 24 demons born from the primordial void did not originally have serpents.”
Our eldest abandoned the devil and ran away, so he had no choice but to put the strongest child in besides us.
“Anyway, that one was born from the void, so isn’t it a devil?”
“If we have to be honest, it’s a spirit creature. It looks a little ugly, so everyone thinks it’s the devil, so we added it in.”
A devil who opens his mouth made of clay and screams in front of a saint.
Erman, who was looking pitifully at the devil, bowed his head and started to go his own way.
“Still, the essence is void, so it won’t interfere with our experiments.”
“Of course, whether angels, demons, or spirits, the way power works is ultimately similar.”
With those words, ‘Squishy Desire’ said no more.
The saint’s footsteps, who had been silently going his own way, stopped at the highest mountain in Liram,
I stood at the highest peak of Mt. Cirni, a place famous as the place of Tafnel’s descent, and quietly raised my head.
The clear sky without a single cloud clearly reveals the light of the sun.
Is the main god looking at the saint from that high heaven?
“I ask that you please do nothing and just watch in silence. “Oh Rom.”
It’s just a matter of getting back my daughter, who you arbitrarily took from me.
The saint, who was slightly worried, sighed and gave an order to the devil who was standing far away next to him.
“Taishan snake. No, call Lana Hill. Let’s start trading.”
-Okay.
Unlike usual, the desire begins to unleash magic in a serious voice.
In the hand of a woman clumsily tracing it, a pitch-black mystery swallows up even the light and twists the space.
-A huge mouth swallowing Mount Tai. Lana Hill, answer the saint’s call.
I felt a small tremor at the call of the devil who had stepped on the god.
The slight tremor that started under my feet soon transformed into a huge tremor that shook even Mount Tai, and the pieces of Lana Hill that were scattered throughout Mount Chirni slowly began to come together.
It’s big. It’s bizarre. Can not understand.
A huge body that can cover an entire mountain and still remain for a long time.
A devil with a huge mouth. Lanahill awoke from a long sleep and looked down at the fallen saint and high-ranking demon.
-B. Ship. I’m hungry. You. Who is this?
“I am Saint Erman. “I felt like I had to deal with you out of necessity, so I came face to face with you like this.”
-Geo. They say. ?
“Yes, follow our words and become one with humans, and in return, we will release you from this eternal seal.”
-I don’t like it. Uh.
You don’t like it?
In exchange for releasing the seal, I was offered a human body that would allow me to escape from the void, but I refused.
Hearing the devil’s incomprehensible remarks, the saint clicked his tongue and asked Lana Hill again.
“Can I ask why you don’t like it?”
Is it something to be proud of just because it is a legendary being?
Erman, who was slowly but leisurely waiting for an answer, inadvertently fell asleep at the words that flowed from the devil’s ugly mouth.
-.In. Liver. Become. Noodle. Rice. A lot. I can’t eat this. Uh.
“… What?”
To persuade the foolish devil who refuses to become a human because he cannot eat much,
Erman tempted the devil without stopping for three days and nights.
In the end, only after the bottom of his bright blue eyes turned black did the devil accept the offer.
-Hey.. Than ᅟᅣᆼ. Quality. Am.
“… Yes, quality over quantity.”
Ermann realized that carrying out an evil plan was very difficult.
***
An extravagant guest room in Aran’s lord’s castle.
Cecile Lionel Ta, a woman with brown hair, was licking her lips as she gazed at Tapnell’s painting, in which the painter carefully stroked his brush, so that even a single strand of her hair could be called a work of art.
“… Now that I think about it, I don’t like the fact that another woman’s name is attached to my husband’s name.”
Cecil glares at the blonde-haired angel painted on the ceiling and makes an outrageous statement.
If Tapnell had seen this, he would have grabbed the back of her neck and collapsed, but fortunately, she was busy watching other high-ranking demons right now.
“Should we make a new castle like the nobles at this point?”
Lionel Tani and Tapnel, they will throw away their priestly names and build a new castle just for the two of them.
Normally, commoners would be shocked if someone talked about making a castle or something, but she was a high-ranking devil and a woman with a little bit of angelic power, and Julius was the strongest interrogator whose name would be engraved in history.
If there are things that get in your way, just kill them secretly.
Cecil, who was thinking terrifying thoughts, was reminded of a problem she had deliberately tried to forget due to a faint sense of evil in her body.
‘The Emperor’s Nightmare’
A devil who has become one with himself as a unit of existence.
The devil’s influence was great for an innocent girl to become so obsessed with her husband.
Cecil became one with the evil devil and realized the evil sleeping within her.
I am very grateful to her now.
“When I was human, I had no choice but to leave Julius alone and die helpless. I had no choice but to tremble in fear that Julius would meet another woman.”
But since I accepted you, I don’t have to worry about that, so I’m thankful for that.
“Still? “I am you and you are me, but you must not look over my husband.”
It’s not just you, even if it’s my past self, I can’t allow myself to have his feelings.
Because only I can have his love now. Yes, it has to be that way.
She was ruined by the memory of her death.
-… ….
As she looked at the woman who was herself, the devil simply silenced her.
Nothing about being cheerful or arrogant comes back.
“Hmm, I like it. That’s how I’ll dream forever. “Then you too will be happy.”
Did he even like it?
Cecil, feeling even better, spun around as if she were dancing and then fell down on the large bed in the room.
Aran’s lordly castle, famous for its wealth.
Among them, as she felt the soft silk of the luxurious bed prepared for her guests, she was startled by the sound of greetings coming from her door.
Heresy discovered by Emily. The sound of Julius returning after being summoned to torture Paton, Rotani’s butler.
Cecil, who was lying dazedly on the bed, quickly tried to use magic.
The ugly pajamas I saw in Liliana’s dressing room when I snuck into it earlier because I was bored.
Even Julius, no matter how stone-faced he is, wouldn’t be able to stand wearing that.
… I did it that way when I had Layla in the first place.
Cecil shook off her random thoughts, concentrated on bringing out her demonic energy, and changed the clothes she was wearing.
But unfortunately for her, Julius opened the door and came in one step ahead.
Cecil was trying to change her clothes with her magic, but her eyes met his and her concentration was lost, and her magic failed.
– Hmm, how dare you wear such embarrassing clothes!
No, because of the influence of her personality changing back and forth, when she saw Julius’ face, she was embarrassed and failed.
Cecil secretly swallowed tears as she looked at the blond-haired man slowly walking towards her.
‘A stupid devil who is not helpful! ‘I didn’t do it again because of you!’
-To be vulgar, if you were me, I hope you would keep your body.
Julius, who saw her struggling and struggling with her inner self, asked her as if she was bewildered.
“… What on earth are you doing in bed?”
“Um… Courtship dance?”
“Tsk, this devil has magic on his head.”
“Ji, it’s Cecile now! “Be kind!”
Cecil lunges at her husband with her deep blue eyes wide open like a lake.
Julius quickly turned his body to avoid her teeth, looked at her with a serious expression, and opened his mouth.
“You were about to do something more dangerous than I thought.”
“… What, is that Parton or Pistachio guy?”
“Yes, you are not an ordinary human being. I never thought you would open your mouth like that even after being tortured by me. “It was enough to crack my pride.”
Cecile, who had been watching him from afar as he lowered his head and sighed softly, turned his head and looked out the window.
The sky visible beyond the transparent glass still has some of the sun’s grace remaining.
Cecil, who was finally watching the moon slowly begin to rise, pointed to the sunset sky and asked as if it were absurd.
“Not even two hours have passed yet? “You mean this is slow?”
“Time is money against heresy. “It would be a shame not to figure it out within an hour.”
Julius shakes his head with a bitter smile.
Cecile, who caught a glimpse of her husband’s perverted side, trembled as a chill ran down her spine.
Somehow it was amazing back then.
She tilted her head without even realizing it.
Julius, who was looking at her like that, cleared his throat and continued speaking.
“Hmm, anyway, if the truth is what he confessed, it seems to be true that you and the countess are in danger.”
From Noble mtl dot com
“Us? Dangerous? Are you saying that an angel will come down?”
“… No, more accurately, you could say that it is a benefit for you.”
Their plan is to completely turn the high-ranking demons into evil.
“…Evil.”
“According to what you said and what that butler said, the high-ranking demons are of a tremendous weight class even among the Voids, so they are not completely tainted by evil. Am I right?”
“No! “I’m not gaining weight!”
Cecil slightly lifted her top.
As soon as the white flesh was revealed, Julius looked away and continued his words.
“So, there are quite a few high-ranking devils like you and the Countess who are lukewarm about destructive activities.”
“… Are you saying that they will completely taint us with evil and make us go crazy?”
Her blue eyes sparkle and she raises her head as if laughing. A small thought passes through Julius’s mind as he looks at her.
‘Cute.’
What are you thinking?
Leaving Julius alone, who was confused by uncontrollable thoughts, Cecile, who was fuming by herself, rolled up her sleeves and began to squirm.
“Why do you think so ridiculously of us that you do such a thing? “I really want to get scolded!!!!”
“… Anyway, the major event takes place between tonight and tomorrow night. “Priest Emily is currently preparing to resolve the situation, so we will wait here at the castle today with the Count and Countess.”
“… It’s a relief if your mother steps forward, then we won’t have anything to do, right?”
“In any case, you can say that there is nothing to do since things will be sorted out in the name of Priest Emily.”
“Then that’s good! “Tonight is also long, so let’s make a second one.”
Julius, who almost nodded his head at her words that naturally made strange noises, couldn’t hold back anymore and fed honey balm to Cecile’s head, then took out a small box from his chest.
“Wow! Why are you hitting me? “Something wrong with me!”
“What kind of manly thing to say at a time like this? It will be easier to respond when something happens if you stay close to the Count and Countess.”
“Then… Let’s just sip tea with the four of us?”
Cecil lowered her head sullenly and asked with glaring eyes.
Julius, who was looking at the extremely cute, poor woman, flicked the box in his hand.
“Hmm, I’m not that tight-lipped man. Of course, I prepared some entertainment to pass the time.”
I like playing with my body.
I took the answer I heard as not being heard.
The blond-haired interrogator smiles confidently and starts walking toward the room where the count and wife are, without looking back.
The sky seen from the window behind my back was filled with gloomy dark clouds.
***
“Strengthen the security of the lord’s castle, and let the city guards drink the holy water over here!”
The loud cries of the knight who received mental education from Emily all day fill the front of Yeongju Castle.
Emily, who had turned the water flowing in the canal in the middle of the city into holy water, neatly smoothed her silver hair and looked for a moment at the piece of divine beast horn she had stuffed in her back pocket.
“Now, isn’t it up to the juniors to solve this evil conspiracy?”
Alas, they all went to our father’s side.
The noble priestess, who was thinking of a humorous joke, vigorously waved the horn in her hand and called out the name of the legendary beast in a sonorous voice.
“Francis!”
-Puh hee hing
Unlike before, this time a powerful cry is heard from far away.
A unicorn running with its entire body emitting white brilliance and its stylish mane fluttering.
He is coming with a pretty village girl hanging on his back.
“… I really think I’ll just eat the orphaned food.”
She clicked her tongue and looked at Shinsu, who was unable to come to her senses even though the situation was quite serious, then gathered her wits and raised her head to look at the sky.
A dark sky with no moonlight or starlight visible.
No, Rom’s adoptive daughter smiled wryly as she looked at the sky of Aran filled with gloomily dark clouds.
“I think I had planned something quite interesting, but in the end, it was just a plan that came out of the heads of bastards.”
Dense evil energy felt throughout the streets.
Along with him, a demon girl with impressive black veins appeared in the distance leading the crowd and let out a loud cry.
The plan of the devil and heretics started a day early with the arrival of Emily and Julius.
The prelude to ‘Ascension’ has now begun on the stage of Aran.
.
.
.
“Ji, is it really okay to just sit here? “If I stay here and everything goes as planned…”
The name of the woman who keeps rolling her eyes here and there as if she is anxious is Liliana Aran.
She was fiddling with something in her hand and looked anxiously at her husband who was sitting next to her.
“There is nothing to worry about, Liliana. Here we have the greatest priestess, the strongest interrogator, and me. “Nothing will happen.”
Rotani Aran, a red-haired nobleman, gently held his wife’s hand and gently encouraged her.
Meanwhile, she quietly took something out of her hand and threw it away.
“Ah, ah. “If you take that…”
“It’s my turn, right? Julius! Give it to me quickly!”
“Tsk, don’t be rude.”
The brown-haired woman, Cecil Lionel Ta, snatched something of hers from the hand of her husband, who was sitting next to her.
What she was holding in her hand was a small card with a picture of an angel on it.
“Ahh! “If this continues, I will be first!”
“… If you say that out loud, won’t everyone know what you’re holding?”
Julius was shaking his head as if he was pitiful, but nothing other than the card was in Cecile’s eyes.
‘I see, this is definitely a game, so there should be a penalty. I guess the losing side will be granted a simple wish.’
The game Julius suggested to pass the time was playing cards.
Cecil, who was handling the card with Tapnel’s picture on it, let out an evil laugh.
“hehehe, you’ll never lose at this, right?”
-… Please, if you were me, please stay safe.
“You must get your wish, so you can make it a fait accompli as soon as possible!”
She took a deep breath while holding the card in her hand.
The appearance is like a knight fighting a duel.
Putting down the card in her hand, the interrogator’s wife, ready for battle, shouted loudly.
“I can never lose to this! Yes, this!”
-… This.
“It’s a dual!”
-… Really, you don’t know how embarrassing it is.
Cecil puts her all into playing cards, as if she doesn’t care about the dangerous situation outside.
She uttered the words of duel shouted by her knights and now jumped into the fight with all her heart.
“… I am the mother-in-law, so why do they keep pampering me?”
It was a busy eve of the storm for only the sincere Emily, who was working hard outside preparing for the high priest’s ‘miracle’.
