“This, this is… an ungrateful wretch!”
“I originally didn’t know about such things.”
I retorted dryly, dragging Denesol while chasing after Hades. Denesol seemed to resist with all his might, feeling heavier and more unyielding like iron.
But I hadn’t just been idling all this time. I poured out my mana, compelling Denesol’s mana to follow me.
“What are you doing! You, you… will regret this! That brat doesn’t even know who he really is now! Thinking he can go back to how things were is a big delusion!”
Denesol screamed in pain, his ears seemingly about to burst.
Whether he liked it or not, I didn’t let go of my grip on Denesol.
‘Well, there’s nowhere else for him to go.’
Currently, Denesol belonged to Hades. Denesol could freely rush toward Hades, but that would only end up helping me in the end.
“Denesol.”
I calmly spoke.
“If you don’t want to perish, speak up. What other way is there to reverse consciousness without sacrificing you, me, or Hades?”
“…”
Silence ensued.
In essence, acknowledging there was none.
“Then, I have no choice but to use you.”
I didn’t feel particularly regretful. Despite our close association, Denesol had also tried to use me in a remarkable way when the opportunity arose.
You reap what you sow.
“No! No! There’s a way!”
“What is it?”
“…”
Silence returned.
I didn’t bother to press him further and, still dragging Denesol along, arrived where Hades was.
It wasn’t that difficult.
In the end, the place where Hades would begin the consciousness sacrifice was the same place I had already visited in Leodel.
The massive altar was a grotesque amalgamation of hundreds, perhaps thousands, of demons. Even though they were completely dead and not alive, they emitted groans of agony with the mountain wind.
Hades was looking at the altar while standing behind us.
‘Luckily, he hasn’t started the consciousness sacrifice yet!’
I immediately rushed towards Hades.
“Hades!”
“…You again.”
Hades opened his mouth with an emotionless face.
“Why do you keep bothering me?”
Instead of replying, I tapped Denesol on the head.
“Hades doesn’t need to perish. You can serve as the substitute offering instead.”
Hades looked at me with a puzzled face.
“That’s odd.”
“What is it?”
“Whether it’s me or the sword, both are entirely indifferent to you. It doesn’t matter who dies; what difference does it make to you?”
I swallowed dryly.
No matter how much I explained how precious he was to me, it wouldn’t make the slightest difference.
So, I…
Resorted to the final means.
“I fell for you at first sight.”
Hades’s face subtly contorted.
“You’re my ideal type that I’ve been searching for all this time. Please, go out with me, Lord of Darkness.”
I knew she was crazy, but I never thought she was this insane.
The Demon King stared intently at the woman in front of him.
Fell in love at first sight? With herself?
It was a completely nonsensical statement.
Even if it had some truth to it, she must have confused herself with Hades.
However, there was one reason why he couldn’t dismiss the woman’s words as mere nonsense.
“…My heart is pounding.”
The rhythmic heartbeat had been noticeable for a while.
Demons’ hearts didn’t beat like humans’.
But right now, his heart was violently reacting to the woman’s nonsense.
As if, like a human.
“…Nonsense.”
The Demon King made a feeble attempt to brush off the woman’s words.
“Nonsense, you say.”
The woman took a step closer to him.
“May I kiss you, Demon King?”
The woman now addressed him as the Demon King, not Hades.
It meant she wasn’t confusing him with someone else, seeing herself as who she truly was.
The Demon King stepped back as the woman approached.
Never before had someone both terrified and pleased him like this.
“Demon King.”
The woman lifted the corners of her mouth.
Though her exhausted face seemed awkwardly forced into a smile, the meaning she wanted to convey was clear.
I am on your side.
Please hold my hand… is what she meant.
Although the Holy Sword Moore shouted loudly, it was completely ignored.
It was just an ordinary sword, after all.
From the beginning, it could never be a significant existence for him.
On the other hand, this woman…
“You’re right.”
The Demon King’s final decision was uttered.
“I will sacrifice the sword.”
After a moment of silence, mad laughter erupted from the sword.
“Ah, hahaha! Hahahaha!”
The piercing laughter made the woman cover her ears.
Unconsciously, the Demon King took a step towards her.
“Hahaha… You, you will live a life far from ordinary!”
The Demon King replied with an unwavering voice.
“The curse doesn’t affect me.”
He wasn’t a being to be cursed or to be affected by curses.
“A life even more extraordinary than now is something to look forward to.”
The woman responded with an interesting tone.
“I wonder if I should become the Demon King too?”
“You, you all…!”
The sword’s words were completely cut off. The Demon King had embedded the sword into the altar. The entire altar wriggled and transformed, growing even larger and covering the sky.
Male lead is a clingy little husband
One-line summary: The male lead is initially an arrogant, noble, love-deprived brat, later a cute, clingy, scheming little jealous one.
Introduction:
One day, Lu Yuner’s soul transmigrates into a female-dominant world. She enters the Imperial Academy and takes up the position of a doctoral instructor, teaching classes and grading schoolwork.
One day, she encounters the young prince Su Qingwan secretly skipping class from the male academy.
As a result, Su Qingwan is punished.
From then on, Su Qingwan sees Lu Yuner as a “thorn in his side”.
But before long, this “thorn” becomes the person he cherishes most, and he goes to great lengths to win Lu Yuner’s affection.
Mini scene 1:
One day, the sun is high in the sky but Su Qingwan still hasn’t gotten up for class.
Servant Xiaoyuan: “Young prince, it’s time for class. You’ll be late otherwise.”
Su Qingwan says arrogantly: “I’m not going. I am the esteemed prince, my status is so noble, why should I suffer this hardship? Besides, isn’t learning all this just to please women? Hmph, they’re not worthy!”
Mini scene 2:
After Su Qingwan falls for someone, he completely changes. He no longer skips class and diligently learns how to be a good husband and father. But he discovers that Sister Yuner is always surrounded by admirers.
Drunk and overcome with jealousy one day, he clings to Lu Yuner, crying beautifully like a pear blossom in the rain.
Su Qingwan: “Qingwan likes Sister Yuner.”
Lu Yuner: “Young prince, you’re drunk.”
Su Qingwan: “Qingwan isn’t drunk. Qingwan likes Sister Yuner, likes you so much, likes you to bits…” Before he can finish, Lu Yuner’s eyes flash with emotion and she leans in closer.
[Reading Guide]
1. The female lead is gentle, gracious, humble and polite but not weak. The male lead is initially an arrogant, noble, love-deprived brat, later a cute, clingy, scheming little jealous one.
2. 1v1, a bit torturous in the beginning but definitely sweet later on.
