Contract Marriage with the Devil Duke (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 105

Yet, he still had to endure it. Provoking him—who stood in for the Emperor—would be tantamount to declaring enmity against the Bonus Empire itself. Regalis was surely aware of that, which was precisely why he dared to act so boldly.

Orentia watched Regalis as he headed back to his room, then spoke to Lilith and Dimidius.

“We’d better find the Daemon bracelet as quickly as possible. If anything comes to mind, please let me know right away.”

For now, Lilith’s and Dimidius’s intuition and memories mattered most, since they both knew James Belial well. They had already confirmed his tomb, so the next location needed to be found. It was likely they’d have to travel there with Regalis—but that couldn’t be helped.

After all, it would be crucial how Regalis spoke of Lilith once he returned to the Imperial Capital in the future. Lilith had promised, at the risk of her own life, to find the Daemon bracelet within a month; it would be disastrous if such efforts came to nothing.

Lilith said she would consider it and left, while Dimidius let out a deep sigh. It had been a long time since she’d seen him so troubled. His brow was deeply furrowed with worry, and the corners of his mouth drooped downward.

“Your Grace, are you alright? No—of course you’re not.”

Asking him if he was alright felt utterly foolish. Demons were strict about the rules of wagers, and Lilith didn’t seem like the type to have left herself an escape clause. She might even believe that if she failed to find the Daemon bracelet within a month and destroy it along with the Pieta bracelet, there would be no hope left for the human world.

Even now, malevolent spirits were appearing throughout the Bonus Empire. Conversely, people with holy power were few and far between—if things continued like this for another month, disaster was certain to strike.

Orentia approached Dimidius, who sat on the sofa with both hands clutching his head. She well understood just how dark and tangled his thoughts must be.

Standing before him, Orentia embraced his tall frame. Since Lilith had staked her life on it, they absolutely had to find the Daemon bracelet within a month, no matter what it took. Steeling her resolve, Orentia said to him,

“Let’s find it together. The Daemon bracelet. We’ll manage it.”

Since the Daemon bracelet was definitely in the Bonus Empire, they might uncover a clue if they searched places connected to James Belial.

Dimidius spoke with a voice full of grim resolve.

“It must be done. And I will make it happen.”
