The priests looked hesitant. She needed to push hard here.
“Moreover, the more we’re on guard, the less the demons will reveal themselves.”
Beril spoke confidently.
“So you’re saying, you won’t accept the priests’ escort?”
Beril almost laughed again at those words. Escort? In her previous life, those who stuck to her under the pretext of escort were all watching her.
They were also committing rudeness by probing here and there in the opposing duke’s territory.
“It might be a little dangerous.”
It doesn’t seem more dangerous than you.
“Without an escort, it would be best for me to go in. If I see any suspicious circumstances, I’ll notify you right away.”
At that, the priests hesitated. Beril was nervous since she had never said this in her previous life.
If they refuse, she would have to enter the mansion with a priest.
Then it would be a matter of time before Vain was exposed as a demon. She had to stop it here.
“What if we investigate when the demons let their guard down?”
The priest seemed to step back.
“There are safety issues too….”
The priest looked at Beril. Receiving that gaze, Beril knew they found her behavior strange.
Of course, the always obedient saint seemed to have changed.
If she refused them any more, she would appear even more suspicious.
“Alright. Then let’s plan a visit when the time comes.”
“The timing of the visit….”
“If we officially contact Vain, the hidden demon might hide even more.”
The priests said. Beril nodded.
“Then let’s coordinate the visit schedule just between me and you.”
“Understood.”
The priests accepted without question. They must think she’s still trying to catch the demon.
“Then, we will take our leave.”
The priests stood up. Their bowing and backing away in respect was all the more irritating.
Especially when they didn’t feel anything toward the demon who had rudely barged in.
Beril pursed her lips tightly. Anyway, she had passed the first crisis.
She exhaled deeply and relaxed her body.
Of course, there was no time for a long rest. Now was the time to pretend to see the priests off and become Lady Vain.
(This is a time separator.)
“Then, may the blessing of God be with you.”
“May the blessing of God be with you.”
The priests’ carriage went off into the distance. They had brought a separate cart for luggage.
“It didn’t even look like they were cleaning up the dining hall.”
Beril raised her eyebrows, looking at the luggage carriage. What on earth did they bring?
But she soon felt she knew the answer. The demons occasionally looked at the carriage with uncomfortable glances.
It must have contained items harmful to demons, prepared for battle.
―Clippityclop……
As the sound of the hooves faded.
“Beril von Vain.”
A voice suddenly rang out. Turning around, she saw Beleled.
“Do you like your name?”
He said, smiling.
A friendly smile. Unthinkable for a demon, that kind of smile.
A humanlike smile…….
“Yes, I like it.”
Beril answered in a mutter.
Even though I had said with my own mouth to the demons, ‘the person who will soon become Belede von Vain’s wife,’ it was just as awkward.
Still, having overcome the first crisis with the clergy, now all that remained was to pretend not to know that I was a demon, and assess the atmosphere.
The decision to come out of the temple for the regular thanksgiving had to be kept a secret for now.
Since I still don’t know their thoughts. If they are people who cannot join hands with me, there might be an opportunity to escape when the temple comes to see them.
“Shall we go?”
Belede’s voice was heard close by at some moment.
“Ah!”
Standing in front of the surprised and startled her was a strange carriage.
A pitchblack carriage. But the carriage, adorned with bright red flowers, lively vine decorations, and glittering gems, looked splendid enough.
It seemed to say that one could be gorgeous even without bright colors.
“You may be accustomed to a white carriage, but in Vain, we use a black carriage.”
Belede said, opening the door.
“White is a color that stands out to monsters in the realm of the night.”
“Ah…….”
I thought it might be because the black color suited the demons, but that was obviously not the reason.
After all, in a situation where one must hide being a demon, there would be no reason to deliberately choose a ‘demonic’ color.
“Do you not like it?”
Shall I prepare a new carriage? To the question, Beril shook her head.
“No, it’s fine.”
Thin, fluttering veils seemed to wrap the carriage in several layers. The carriage that entered after removing that veil was plush.
“The fabric…….”
Inside the carriage, on the chairs, the soft fabric was laid in layers.
The problem was that the fabric, apparently not fixed in place, was distorted as she moved.
“Don’t worry about it. It’s a thing made to be that way.”
“Even so,”
Uncomfortable with the appearance that others had carefully prepared being crumpled, Beril approached the chair cautiously.
Next to her, Belede suddenly came up.
“If something too neat is uncomfortable for you.”
His fingertip touched the fabric on the chair.
“How about this?”
His hand slid over the fabric that had no pattern on it.
Male lead first thought she played hard to get, only to realize she
really disliked him
Short intro:

Shen Yaoxing: Bro, don’t be like this, I’m really about to throw up!
She fears nothing in heaven or earth, except for him getting close to her.
*
At first he thought she was just using the trick of feigning indifference to attract his attention. Later, he learned that she truly despised him.
This dealt a heavy blow to Jiang Mingyue, and he vowed to make her, like everyone else, fall at his feet in worship!
