63 – Royal Library
Shark───.
A deep night, when even the most insignificant creatures hold their breath and just surrender to the silence.
The man, neatly dressed in a shabby robe and holding a Bible in his hand that gave off a brilliant silver light, simply turned the pages of a book at a distance with a mysterious smile that made it difficult to guess what he was thinking.
A forbidden book that recorded the secrets of the world, the last thing Saint Telmir wrote before his death.
[First Bible]
A sacred relic of the religious order known to the world as simply being lost after a long period of time.
However, the reality was secretly hidden by the hand of Lionelta, the angel of death.
Up until now, in the hands of the fallen saint Erman, it was emitting such a holy light.
“… ….”
Sharreuk─── Sharruk───.
Feeling the chill of the night air entering his lungs, Erman was wading through the sea of silence using the pages of the Bible as his passage. When the picture he was looking for was reflected in his blue eyes, he stopped turning the pages. , I gently touched the words written in elegant handwriting in a corner of the Bible.
[Destruction of the Saint]
It is the nickname of the great devil who took the famous sword that the king possessed as his body and disrupted the world, one of the subtitles of the first Bible, and the title of a famous painting with Telmere’s touch.
“… ….”
As he looked at a scene from the future located in the exact center of the Bible, Erman, a man with his brown hair neatly pulled back, simply smiled faintly.
Although not a drop of blood was involved, there was only one scene that filled the blue wall that seemed to have been carved into the autumn sky, which was surprisingly similar to his granddaughter, Leila.
It was only the image of a pure white holy sword piercing the heart of a fallen saint.
Tak──
“He wandered for a very long time, holding on to only one thought: to save his daughter.”
A low voice comes out of the mouth of a man lightly touching a sacred object covered with a bookshelf, accompanied by a cheerful sound.
“I have watched for eons that child who defiled himself and went from a human to a devil because of just one man.”
Every time he uttered a word, an electric sound slowly spread from the saint’s heart, and in the middle of the cabin where even time became empty, he simply opened his mouth.
“You are a pitiful devil who has lost his purity, become mixed and tangled, and even forgets himself and imitates himself. “You think of yourself as Cecil.”
But I just can’t accept you.
The devil is a being who always deceives, deceives, and ultimately leads humans to destruction.
Even if he is the devil himself, he cannot escape from the deception that is made of truth.
“So prove it. “You are truly my daughter.”
From Noble mtl dot com
The soul in that heart embraces holiness, not evil.
“I just ask a question. “The answer will be yours alone.”
The battle between the saint and the great devil seemed to last forever.
At the last moment, announcing the end of the eternity, he asks the Great Devil.
I put into my mouth the old phrase, ‘Do you believe in pre-ordained harmony?’

Togak── Togak──.
The sound of shoe-shoes filled with neatness and elegance echoes in the middle of the quiet streets of Darkana.
The Heretic Questioner, neatly dressed in a black uniform resembling mourning clothes and showing off his brilliant golden hair, secretly hides his body in the dark shadows beyond the huge building.
I was taking leisurely steps towards the Royal Library of Lyriam.
The red sunset that should beautifully decorate the evening sky is nowhere to be seen, and there are only dull dark clouds under the sky.
The interrogator felt the pleasant chill of the pine breeze with his whole body and smiled broadly as he recalled memories of the past one by one.
At the entrance to the library, she slowly raised her hand towards the blond-haired man standing with a sword in his stiff posture, like a gatekeeper, and greeted him in a lively voice.
“Isn’t this someone, the famous Inquisitor Julius Tapnel? This is truly an honor to work with. Lol.”
“… Cecil, where on earth did you learn such an old-fashioned way of speaking?”
“Woah, I told you to smile, but why are you looking at me with eyes that look like you’re crying instead of laughing?”
Julius looked with a pitiful expression at the stupid demon who greeted him in a strange tone that would have come straight out of the mouth of a middle-aged man, shook his head as was his habit, and then fell into tears and fell into a state of despair – I took in the sight of my wife running around in my golden eyes.
Instead of the white blouse and brown skirt she usually wears, she is wearing the uniform of an inquisitor belonging to the Church of Telmere.
Unusually, Cecil used her magic to change the color of her hair and eyes.
The brown hair that reminded me of a fresh wheat field fluttered with a brilliant golden color, and the deep blue eyes that always had a dangerous turbidity changed into gold eyes that looked like Julius’s eyes had been taken out and put in place.
“Why did her hair and eye color suddenly change?”
“Heh.”
“…… Huh?”
“hehehehe, Julius. “There is an old saying that goes like this.”
Couples look alike.
“… I’m sure I’ve heard people say that as a joke.”
“Oh, it’s not a joke. It’s real! No, it has to be real!”
I wonder if he was very dissatisfied with the ambitious statement he had prepared and said it was a joke.
Cecile started punching Julius’ chest, muttering her mouth like a child.
Soybeans- Soybeans-
It was truly a cute century.
“So, did you change her hair color because of that ‘joke’?”
“… That’s not all. “Actually, I’ve wanted to have blonde hair for a long time.”
In response to a question from Julius, who gently held her delicate body in his arms with a mischievous smile, Cecile nuzzled her cheek against his wide chest and blurted out a word as if passing by with a somewhat serious expression.
“This is the first time I’ve heard something like that in our time together. “Why did you want to have golden hair?”
“… Can’t you laugh when you hear it? “If you even laugh at me, I’ll literally collapse on the floor and cry.”
I don’t know why she was so anxious, but she kept rolling her eyes and glancing at her husband’s face. She looked like a puppy. Julius, who couldn’t help but laugh at the cute sight, nodded and looked at Cecile’s face fondly. He massaged it nicely.
“Hmm, yes. “I will never laugh at you, so please teach me the reason.”
“Profit! You were already laughing at me just now! “You’re lying!”
“… No. “But I said I laughed at you at some point.”
“Ussssstsssss on ofs even of just on for you on for on and off, I was just laughing, do you think I was a fool?”
──Back!
What on earth is the reason for being so embarrassed and making such a fuss?
Julius, who had barely managed to soothe her with a kiss as she whined devilishly and grabbed her by the hair at her mere laughter, this time closed her mouth tightly to prevent even a single breath from escaping, I nodded my head at her with a serious expression on her face.
“You’re really not going to laugh, are you?”
“… ….”
“No, can’t I make fun of you? And don’t tell anyone else?”
“… ….”
“The answer is.”
“… I understand.”
The stupid demon finally gained courage from the serious look of the interrogator, who was nodding his head with a solemn expression as if he was waging some kind of war. He placed his hand on his plump chest, took a deep breath for a moment, and then, He quietly spat out the words.
“… Because it’s cold.”
“…? “What did you say?”
“It’s because I’m lonely, because I’m lonely!”
“…… Her.”
I am lonely. Either because it was cute or just to change the mood. A powerful word flowed into Julius’s mind as he was thinking of an answer.
Julius, intrigued by her unexpected words, let his shoulders slump and touched the matted hair of the devil who was expressing with his whole body that he was lonely, and whispered softly in her ear. It was.
“Why are you lonely when I’m next to you?”
“Hey, hey! What, what? Suddenly her whole body tingled. Hey, this is good. “It’s really good!”
Cecile’s entire body trembled at the sound of her man’s breath permeating right next to her ear. She touched her cheek, which was as red as blush, and lowered her head. It was only after a long time that she finally calmed down. Could.
“… Now, won’t you tell me the answer soon?”
“Huh, huh! This isn’t enough. “If only you could do a little more, just a little more…!”
“Cecil.”
“…. Okay, I’ll tell you. “You can just tell me.”
The foolish devil, who was trying to make a fool of himself in order to relive that ecstatic moment, literally broke down when he saw Julius’ serious expression, biting his lip with a very stern expression, and grabbed his slender finger. He continued talking, going back and forth.
“That… Should I say a long time ago, after I was revived.”
“…Okay, keep talking.”
“Well, it’s really not that big of a deal, but… Rayra and you too…”
“… ….”
“Both of us are blonde, but I’m the only one with brown hair.”
“… Because she has brown hair.”
“It’s just that I feel like I’m being ostracized.”
“…… Phew.”
“!”
After hearing it, Julius, whose heart sank and relaxed because it was such a trivial reason, ended up laughing inadvertently, and Cecile, who had witnessed it right in front of her eyes, risked her shame and managed to say the important thing she had said. The shock of having my worries trampled upon me left me sobbing loudly for a while.
aaah!
… ….
Wuuu!
***
“So, won’t you stop talking now?”
“… What do you keep asking me to tell you?”
“… That’s why I asked you to come to the Royal Library.”
After a brief comical skit took place at the main gate.
Cecile, with tears in her eyes, clung to Julius’ back like a frog, not knowing how to let go.
Carrying her on his back and leisurely walking around her royal library, he looked at the completely dark panoramic view of the capital and opened his mouth to her Cecil.
“Well, it looks like old Arnhill is planning to invite us much later than expected. “I thought I would achieve the purpose of coming here while I still have time.”
“… Indeed, I understand what you want.”
“……Really? “Do you know what you want to do?”
“Library date. “Isn’t that what you wanted to do?”
“… ….”
Hearing the interrogator’s sharp words, the great devil tightened his arms around his shoulders and buried his face in the crook of his neck.
Julius smiled brightly at her sortie order, which he responded to with actions rather than words. He slowly turned his head and looked from a distance at the huge library that looked majestic even under the dark clouds.
[Lirram Royal Library]
The books that exist in the small kingdom of Lyriam are a treasure trove of wisdom.
From the official edicts of previous kings to the diaries of petty merchants.
That magnificent building where all kinds of books are gathered in one place.
Rather than its original purpose of sharing wisdom, it is more often used as a place for secret meetings between boys and girls.
It was an unfortunate place that hid a somewhat funny fact.
Tap-step──Tap-step──.
“… Julius, do you remember?”
“What do you mean?”
“I confessed here before.”
“…A confession made on a note between books, without even showing the face?”
Hearing Cecil’s words come from behind the interrogator who was slowly walking, Julius quietly closes his eyes and remembers those glorious times.
A small girl who always blushed when she saw her and even though she stuttered, she never gave up and rushed forward with a reckless spirit and confessed her love.
A place filled with memories of a playful boy who eventually succumbed to her continued attacks.
I can still feel the feeling of turning the pages of a book, from the note that fell to the floor without thinking, to the single line that grabs my heart.
All of them still vividly appear in my mind, as if I could grasp them with my hands.
“… At that time, it was the book I put the confession note in.”
“Hmm… Surely the title was ‘About My Wife Cecile’?”
“Yes, yes. Well, that was roughly the title. But… “I’ve been curious about this for a long time.”
Do you know the contents of that book or something like that?
Unlike the current Cecilia, who always showed a bold and reckless appearance, it reminds me of my childhood when I was still an immature and fresh-faced girl.
Hearing the woman’s voice filled with shame and trembling that tickled his heart, Julius smelled the sweet scent of milk rising from Cecil’s delicate body on his back, and smiled like he did when he was an immature boy. He quietly spoke in a slightly mischievous voice.
“The content, definitely. In the past, I wasn’t the type of person who enjoyed reading that much. “Speaking of which, I guess I can go to the library and read it now.”
“Huh, huh? “Oh, I can’t!”
“… What’s wrong?”
Behind the interrogator, Cecil was stuttering with a puzzled expression, his big eyes wide open.
Julius, who was filled with mischief at the sight of her extremely cute appearance, took big steps as if he was going to charge into the library at any moment.
“Ahh! No! “No way!”
Just────!
Cecil, who was in danger of revealing her biggest secret that she had been hiding for 10 years by saying something for no reason, jumped down from Julius’ broad back, quickly raised her hand, and snapped her fingers.
Wooow──!
The magic that transcended space failed due to the brilliant brilliance shining in five colors emanating from the holy sword that was neatly hanging on Julius’ waist.
“This, this! A mere piece of iron dares to block the steps of the great devil! “You, I’ll see you later!”
Of course, Cecile, thinking that the magic would activate, took a strange step and almost fell to the floor, her face red and pointing at the holy sword that was chopping her body as if it was laughing at her.
When I saw Julius starting to take slow steps towards the entrance of the library, I ended up shaking my legs and running away.
Bang─────!
“Cecil, where on earth are you going in such a hurry?”
-Yu, Julius is just looking at the scenery outside! I-I need to find something!
Desperate to appear as a pitiful woman in front of her husband, whom she always loved, Cecil unleashed her invisible great leg powers and disappeared from sight in an instant.
The interrogator was in such a hurry that the interrogator, who was looking at the back of the woman as she hurriedly ran somewhere, breaking the door of the library in half, laughed out loud, shaking her shoulders and raising the corners of her mouth, which was unusual for her. It started.
“hahahahaha! This is true. “It’s been a while since I last saw you like you used to. You’re really cute, Cecil.”
Wow?
“Even back then, when he saw me carrying a note, he was rolling his eyes with red cheeks.”
Wooow- Wooung-
“It was so cute to see him worried that the confession he worked so hard to prepare would go to waste because of one sensual novel.”
Wow?!
Julius had tears in his eyes, and instead of his usual neat and elegant appearance, Julius relaxed his shoulders and smiled happily as he purely recalled childhood memories.
Hearing the shocking statement from his mouth, the Holy Sword realized the reason why the crazy demon was flustered, and flew towards the library like Cecil before, in order to take revenge on the unpleasant woman who had dared to cast a spell on him and humiliated him. ,
After a moment of silence, the inside of the Lyriam Royal Library, a treasure trove of wisdom and history, began to be devastated by the battle between the Great Demon and the Holy Sword.
-Profit! What, don’t disturb me!
Wow~
-What, what is that sound? Are you making fun of me now?
Woong.
-This is real!
Bang───!
When his personality was divided into two, he was so proud.
She was reborn as a completely one being thanks to Julius’s love, and her girlish personality mixed with her imitated self, regaining some of the innocence and freshness of her childhood.
From Noble mtl dot com
Once again, she felt ashamed of the dark history she had committed in the past.
-This is a library, not a bedroom! If the truth is revealed here, the plan of ‘a lovely wife who is a chaste wife outside and a dizzying seductress in bed’ will be in vain!
Wooow?
No, it seemed like anger about the plan going awry was greater than shame.
“Cecil, can I come in now?”
-Oh, no! Hang on! Uh, what should I do… Yes! If you make this into a bedroom, everything will be fine! Oh, come on, do some magic.
Wuuu!
Click──.
-This is real! Don’t ruin the mood and get the hell away! Why do you keep interfering with my plans…
Woong~
-…She was a girl after all.
Wow?
-I’ve seen it in a book. The most burning love is forbidden love.
???
-Do you dare try to cross my man, this piece of iron? Talia I looked after that brazen b*tch because she was my sister-in-law, but not you!
Wow? Ugh?
-Ogeora Holy Sword. No, Nerondir. How dare a trivial sword cross my husband. Make her pay for that sin with her life.
… ….
-Julius is just me. It belongs to the great devil Cecil. The smell of his flesh, his breath, his hair down to every drop of blood. It’s all mine and mine alone!
Even if that person is her stepmother, Emily Priest, or that girl, Thalia, or even if it is my lovely daughter Rayla.
Absolutely! I can’t hand it over!
Quaaang─────!
With the shouts of Cecil, who had finally lost consciousness due to the continued interference with the Holy Sword, the explosively erupted air began to scatter darkness in all directions,
Nerondir, who suddenly became a crazy sword greedy for forbidden love, began to emit a sacred radiance that was nothing short of holy towards the demon who was beginning to reveal an ugly possessive desire for Julius.
Soon, in the middle of the Royal Library of Lyriam, a treasure trove of wisdom and history, a dirty showdown between living history and history that was difficult to watch with open eyes began to unfold.
Pooooo!
The legendary clash between the great devil and the holy sword.
In the aftermath of that needlessly extravagant battle, the roof of the library, which boasted the beauty of old-fashioned tradition, was engulfed in black flames and flew away with explosive force toward the sky covered with dark clouds.
Cheonoecheon.
Pure white feathers are woven in the sky above.
An angel who was waiting for the moment to reveal himself with his three pairs of majestic wings wide open.
Lionel Tha lowered her head as she looked into the golden gold of her younger sister and granddaughter, Cecile, whom she could hardly open her eyes to look at.
“… Erman, it seems that Cecil is definitely an evil that deserves to be destroyed.”
That is an evil that, just by existing, lowers the prestige of both the Archangel and the Great Devil.
With just a wave of his hand, he ended the era of emperors who took control of the entire world, and was a legendary arch-demon who could take on all four great angels and toy with the daughters of God with one hand.
I can’t believe you’re acting so obscenely because of just one guy.
The dignity of so many great things that have been trampled under her feet is at this moment.
In an instant, it fell to the level of an insignificant stone rolling on the side of the road.
-I can’t stand it, I can’t stand it! I can’t even allow his face to be reflected in the eyes of a woman other than me!
Wooow!
-Now that I think about it, your sword body. It is truly transparent and clear.
Wow?
-Like a mirror.
… ….
– In that dirty and ugly sword body, Julius’s wonderful appearance must have been captured, and a forbidden love would have sprouted in my heart.
This….
-…… This?
This vulgar devil whose head is full of lust! How dare you try to tarnish my reputation!
-Ma, were you able to talk?!
uuun
────Quaaang!
Holy Sword Nerondir.
A supreme treasure forged by a legendary blacksmith with the power of God a thousand years ago.
It is actually a great holy relic that was silently held in the hands of its owner and made a name for itself by cutting down demons and heretics.
It seems he was able to speak.
“… Did Nerondir speak?”
The fact is that it was her master who had wielded her for the longest time.
I guess Lionelta didn’t know either.
The story of the holy sword, the devil, and the angel that took place before the devil’s invitation came.
