Long ago, the demons who were defeated by the gods gathered in a place in the human world, biding their time.
Never in the last two lives did he think that place would be Vainka’s.
After all, Vainka had been the guardian of the empire for a long time, as well as the empire’s frontline.
The noble family, who took responsibility for the unwanted dark land where monsters appeared and had been with the empire since its inception, had been meritorious retainers of the founding of the nation.
Who would have thought they would be pointed out as demons?
“Night…….”
But on second thought, the dark image of a demon and the word ‘realm of the night’ where Vainka resides matched very well.
Vainka’s domain is on the boundary of the world, where monsters come and go, and it is said to have lost its day since the time when the gods cursed mankind long ago.
Is it really true? What would it feel like where there is no day?
It seemed not as horrible as he thought.
Thinking of the priests who shamelessly committed all sorts of dirty deeds under the pretext of guarding the light, perhaps the darkness that could hide their filth might be better.
― Clatter!
But what were they thinking when they chose the barren land despite having abilities that surpassed humans?
What advantage does Vainka’s domain offer to the demons?
He had all kinds of thoughts, thinking that the Duke of Vain was approaching.
“Duke of Vain…….”
In his previous life, he had just passed by from a distance. He had not even seen his face properly.
Because Vainka was too busy dealing with the monsters in his domain to pay attention to the outside world.
Moreover, along with Yubaruka and Orobas, Vainka had been checking each other as one of the three great families of the empire, called as such.
The woman who had married the other two families in her previous life rarely encountered anyone from Vainka, who only occasionally sent people to show their faces in the imperial social circles.
“Those two were not demons.”
The woman, whose thoughts had run wild, closed her eyes.
What kind of person would the real demon, Duke Veledd of Vain, be?
The castle of the Duke of Vain would surely be a place where demons frolic.
I am going to the den of the demons.
Beril clenched her fist until it turned pale at this sudden thought.
It couldn’t be scary.
They were said to be unlike humans, and utterly loyal to their desires.
‘Demons? Ugly ones, indeed. They are the ones who run towards my desire with fire in their eyes.’
10 years old. That was what Beril had heard about demons when she entered the temple as a saint.
‘They will do anything for their benefit. They cannot but be loathsome.’
The priests said so, frowning. At that time, Beril also narrowed her eyes with them.
But thinking about it now.
If demons are those who are consumed by desire and will do anything for their benefit…, what’s different from humans?
Humans also ruthlessly sacrifice each other on the altar if it is for their own entrance to heaven, don’t they?
No, from the beginning, those who pretend to be saints and consider others as expendable, acting shamefully for over ten years, even use human skin.
“Demon…….”
Her lips felt dry.
Could they be more wicked than those people? Or…….
What worried her the most was this.
The fact that she pointed out the real demon family as demons.
There was no particular evidence, so the temple wouldn’t think that she was confident and chose the demon family.
But Beril knew.
Vainka is definitely a demon family.
What will Vainka’s demons do if I say that I know their true nature?
They might try to eliminate me, a saint, before I expose them.
Gritting her teeth.
Without realizing that her nails were digging into her palm, Beril clenched her hand tightly.
I don’t want to die.
It was a life that was given again, not knowing how.
But both deaths she had experienced were excruciatingly painful.
She never wanted to feel it again.
“I will live.”
How should I survive?
I want to live. This was the first time she had such an intense desire.
When she was a child, not even knowing when she had lost her parents, barely clinging to life as she moved from house to house, her entire desire was just to eat delicious food.
But now she knew.
That too was one of the desires to survive.
I want to live.
No, I want to survive and live a more brilliant life.
“Vainka.”
Demons. Is there a way for them to need me?
I must find a path in Vainka since the temple will only use me.
I must find a way to become necessary to them, or at least to become equal to them.
If I can’t find this, I’ll only die miserably like my previous life.
So, again.
“Trade.”
Yes, this is the only way. An equal exchange in an equal relationship.
They will weigh my life on a scale. Then, what I can offer as an equal price to that.
There’s only one thing, as long as they are true demon family.
Not accusing them of being demons.
Or, making sure it doesn’t get exposed.
They may find it more convenient to kill the saint and silence her than this uncertain deal.
