99. Demon Lord (5)

Agasa, who had arrived at the Capital of the Republic, received a quiet welcome.

She was surprised that it was safe for a country that had destroyed all divine statues.

Agasa pondered as she watched the Republic’s people treat them seriously.

“Is there a way to kill a god?”

“Saintess! What wicked words are those.”

“I’m not talking about Lord Rkultu.”

According to the Republic, they said they would be fine if they just eliminated Agathos. It would be nice if Rkultu disappeared too, but fortunately the Empire’s Imperial Court had controlled their patron deity well, so they didn’t hope for that much.

Only after Agasa felt relieved did she finally have the leisure to think about the god Agathos.

Kelsus Marquis, who had come to the capital with her, snorted at everything with a stubborn attitude.

He seemed unable to accept that the unheard-of god called Agathos was such a dangerous existence to humans.

“It’s amusing that a god with much interest in humans is more dangerous than a god with no interest.”

“That’s because it means the god understands us.”

Rkultu does not understand humans. He only rules by making oaths and contracts into restraints.

The only part where he communicates with humans is through Agasa. He has no interest in anything else.

‘No. There was one time. He appeared to Ryuie once.’

Agasa recalled with her dizzy head.

Conversations with Rkultu were not conducted through words as people thought.

An invisible consciousness would directly touch her brain and leave traces, which Agasa would barely manage to interpret his will.

Therefore, even as a servant of the god Rkultu, she was very afraid of her own god.

‘I think if Ryuie had been the Saintess instead, she would have understood Lord Rkultu much better than I do.’

Ryuie would have suited standing beside a god.

Agasa gripped her skirt tightly.

“The more you understand someone, the more cruel and harsh pain you can inflict on them, I wonder?”

At the unexpected words, Kelsus Marquis was surprised and then spoke somewhat awkwardly.

“But usually, don’t you come to love someone after understanding them?”

Because gods should naturally love humans.

“…Do you think so?”

Agasa felt her anxiety growing even more. Because Ryuie now understood both Yosua and Glem completely.

‘Then would she naturally come to love them?’

If the two people she had left behind truly broke their oath, Agasa would know.

And she was feeling with her whole body that the time was very near.

‘Very soon now.’

Something will be born.

Agasa’s head throbbed at the approaching premonition. But she couldn’t tell what it was.

* * *

Clothes were stripped off.

The fabric flying through the air was handled so carelessly that it seemed there was no intention of picking it up to wear again.

It even almost got caught on his shoulder when Glem hastily pulled his top upward.

Seeing his thick shoulders hesitate for a moment, Ryuie giggled and slipped her fingers in to help.

The shirt slid smoothly upward and disappeared beyond in an instant.

‘Just like a cat toy.’

They say to tempt a cat, you have to stay still and then disappear quickly. Glem was even a giant white furry mass, so how perfect was that.

A shadow fell over Ryuie, who was having leisurely thoughts.

Ryuie could see each valley carved into his abdomen one by one. Since it was still bright outside.

“It’s broad daylight.”

At Ryuie’s words, Glem muttered something incomprehensible. He had played around too much with his mouth with Ryuie earlier, making it difficult to speak.

Ryuie tried to imagine what Glem was saying instead.

‘Are you embarrassed because it’s daytime?’

‘No. Then should I wait?’

He would definitely be worrying about her non-existent sense of shame for no reason.

Watching Ryuie chuckling to herself, Glem gently touched her chin, not understanding.

At his serious attitude, Ryuie also lightly removed her top. Her exposed shoulders were equally dazzling.

Glem stared quietly as if he couldn’t believe it, then suddenly grabbed Ryuie’s waist with both hands and lifted her up.

Ryuie’s breathing became slightly rapid.

‘Hot.’

Even without the oath, she felt like she would get burned by Glem’s body temperature. The slightly rough skin touching her bare flesh, the coarse hair sliding against her – everything felt good.

Glem’s kisses continued all over her body but soon stopped.

Ryuie savored the lingering sensation a bit more before smiling. She wasn’t surprised at all by Glem suddenly stopping his movements.

“Something feels strange, doesn’t it?”

Ryuie whispered softly. A gradually confused look appeared in Glem’s eyes.

The emotion spreading through his clear, bright eyes felt more thrilling than drinking alcohol.

Ryuie tenderly embraced Glem’s head.

“Glem, that body was made for you by Agathos. But did you think you could break the oath with me using that body?”

As Ryuie chuckled, Glem’s eyes grew wider and wider.

No matter how smoothly it usually functioned, there was one part that was completely useless right now.

“I never thought the joke I made would come true like this.”

An incident had occurred that would make charges of insulting the Imperial family impossible to establish.

Glem, who had frozen up, was frantically expressing questions with his eyes. He was more shocked by how calm Ryuie’s attitude was than by his own lower body situation.

Ryuie pondered whether to tell him or not, then smiled brightly.

“I met Agatos every night. Mos summoned me through dreams.”

“!”

Ryuie pressed down with her body as Glem tried to struggle as if asking what she was talking about.

The stronger his force became, the more the oath strengthened and hurt.

“Agatos told me many stories. He showed me the universe and said he would give me the Empire.”

Glem’s body lurched greatly once more. His eyes had completely changed. Ryuie thought she had done well to grab a good position in advance. Otherwise, she would never have been able to hold Glem down.

‘This won’t last long either.’

Each time Glem thrust upward, her body began to lift. Ryuie’s words quickened.

“Breaking our oath doesn’t necessarily have to be resolved only through your death.”

‘I’ll do it.’

She was getting better and better at imagining Glem’s words. Even more so because he wasn’t hiding his emotions and was expressing them openly.

“I want to kill Rkultu too.”

Glem nodded at that part, then immediately shook his head.

It probably meant that even so, she shouldn’t side with Agatos.

Ryuie whispered.

“So I’m thinking of becoming a Demon Lord.”

Thud.

Ryuie’s back, pushed by Glem’s momentum, hit the headboard of the bed.

Red eyes that had become menacing were coiled up, looking up at Ryuie.

‘Agatos just wants to use you to kill Rkultu. You’ll be betrayed once again.’

“I know.”

Because Ryuie understood Glem so well, she knew the words that would pour from his mouth without having to hear them.

“But what if that’s what I want?”

Thud. Thud.

Veins bulged in Glem’s forearms as Ryuie’s back began hitting more and more violently.

Unfortunately, because she was sitting with his thighs pinned down so Ryuie couldn’t easily use her strength, it was very difficult for him to pull out his two wrists that Ryuie had grabbed.

He couldn’t get into a position to use his strength.

Only poor Ryuie’s shoulders kept being pushed back, hitting the bed.

‘Don’t go, Ryuie.’

“I’ll become a Demon Lord and end all of this tedious stuff. This should be enough to fulfill your wish too. Of course, it’s regrettable that we couldn’t finish everything.”

‘Don’t go.’

Glem’s anxiety exploded as he rose with a pained groan.

Finally, Glem succeeded in lifting Ryuie’s entire body using only his two forearms, not even his hands.

Ryuie’s body, which had shot up into the air, lost its balance for a moment. Because of this, a string swayed from her neck, and all the rings hanging on it tumbled out.

Among the several rings hanging from her neck, Glem’s eyes didn’t miss the Crown Prince’s ring glowing.

All this time, Ryuie had been carrying Yosua’s belongings against her chest.

“We agreed to give a signal when killing you.”

Everything seemed to move so slowly.

Ryuie gracefully slipping her finger into the Crown Prince’s ring. Even the feeling of a gun barrel that appeared with a flash of light pressing coldly against her forehead.

Had she smiled at the end?

“Goodbye.”

Bang!

Along with the gunshot, Glem’s vision turned black.
