Chapter 280 – 280. Familiar Heart (1)
“Whoa…”
After finishing the day’s work with cleaning today, Lily immediately soaked her tired body in her bath.
As her whole body is immersed in a large bath full of warm water, she let out a small breath as she savors the feeling that the fatigue of her tired body is slowly easing.
She wakes up in the morning, she prepares meals for herself and the members of her household, and from lunch with her simple cleanup, she leaves her dungeon house and heads to the nursery located in the duchy.
Although she works as a maid at Eun-hyeon’s house, there aren’t that many things to do in her house other than preparing meals, washing dishes, and washing clothes.
Even before she came, most of her household chores, including her meal preparation, had been taken care of by Eun-hyeon, and everyone in her household lived a tidy life, except for Illyana, who did not organize her from the beginning. It was on the way out.
“You must be caring.”
She’s doing two jobs at the same time, such as taking care of her nursery school while simultaneously working as a maid, is a very hard schedule.
Her caring intention to care more about taking care of the children in her nursery school than managing this house had been passed on to Lily.
It was her great fortune that Lily, as her half-man, half-demon, took over some of her demonic powers and benefited from the relief of her physical exhaustion.
“Whoa… How can I repay this favor?”
Her once gave up her own life.
The moment she tried to close her eyes, prepared to die of starvation with the children she was confined to in prison.
She appears out of nowhere and feels a degree of grace that she cannot repay even if she gave her life to the man who saved her and her children.
She wants to do something of her own to the man who has become her own master in order to repay her kindness, but she can’t find a way, so Lily is troubled.
“Come to think of it, I think I’m the most ordinary person in this house.”
The people in this house are not normal like one.
Not in a bad sense, but in a very special sense.
A high-ranking magician with a reputation of being among the top ten on the continent.
She is the daughter of a high-ranking aristocratic family in the kingdom, and an aristocratic priest who has been appointed as the next holy woman.
A girl who began to make a name for herself as an adventurer while possessing powers unknown to her as a divine beast.
She can’t use magic, divine power, or physical combat.
“Besides, there was a person called God.”
She up to the existence of the goddess who had been supporting Eunhyun’s existence until now.
All that she possesses is her dream magic power, which she acquired as half of it mutated into her demon.
Even this was not even properly utilized at the present time.
“You need conditions to use it, but…”
The condition was that Lily herself needed to bloom the devilish traits she had been forcibly suppressing until now.
If the seal that Eunhyeon was suppressing through her subordination was released.
Retaining her human form, Lily’s form reverts to that of a succubus as before.
If he told Eun-hyeon that he wanted to use his power as her demon, he could not predict how he would react to her.
This is a problem that Lily has been struggling with for nearly a year as Eun-hyeon goes on her honeymoon.
Drooling
While Lily was thinking about her, the door opened and Eun-hyeon came out naked with nothing on.
“Ah.”
Eun-hyeon, who was about to enter her bathroom, finds Lily soaking her body in her large bathtub, and she sighs in small sighs.
“Sorry. I’m a bit tired right now, I didn’t know you were there.”
“Okay, it’s okay.”
“Huh?”
“Are you okay. You can wash it.”
When the unexpected permission came, Eunhyeon was silent.
If you think about it carefully, it was also a contradictory situation that the owner of this house, Eun-hyeon, was polite and refused to Lily, who was no different from a servant.
Lily looked at the complexion of Eunhyun, who was wearing a tired expression as if she was slightly exhausted.
I went in right after breakfast, skipped meals, and realized that the work that had been done for a long time was now over.
Lily raised her own body from soaking in her large bath and approached Eun-hyeon.
“At the bath, I’ll listen.”
“…”
Even though Eun-hyeon is her servant and maid at the moment, she wondered if it would be okay to ask Lily for this.
Although he thought it would be better to ask her wife, Illyana or Eleanor, for a favor.
The languid fatigue that had been experienced in a very long time made Eunhyeon’s rationality dull little by little.
“… Please.”
Giving up on further thoughts, Eun-hyeon sat down on the bath chair.
Without even thinking to hide her feminine vital parts with her towel, Lily walked proudly, showing her own naked body.
Lily dampened her shower towel, squeezed out a generous amount of specially formulated body wash, and rubbed it together to create her lather.
She turned on her shower and washed Eun-hyeon’s sweaty body with warm water.
[How are you?]
‘I think it’s becoming a fairy tale properly?’
As the key forged with her own soul was absorbed this time, she confirmed that the existence of her key had a positive effect on her original soul, and she put on a satisfied expression.
Verdandi, who confirmed that, let out a sigh of relief.
[Whoa… Good thing. Although she was forced to allow her child’s recklessness, I hope he will never try it again.]
‘Berdandi.’
[Why is that?]
‘If you can turn things around without making reckless choices, you should make them. But…’
Eunhyeon knew that things in the world did not always go so easily.
Anyone who buys too much or suffers does it unless it is a fairly stupid person who wants to do it.
In Eun-hyeon’s case, it was necessary, and she only did it because it was something she had to do.
‘Still, I got what I could get from this gamble. At least… I was halfway convinced of my hypothesis.’
[… That issue is something we sisters should discuss.]
‘Please.’
[I get it.]
Belldandy nodded slightly.
“Whoa…”
“Why are you like that?”
“No, I just wanted to finish one big thing.”
“I see.”
When the conversation was cut off, an atmosphere of heavy silence formed between Eunhyeon and Lily.
It was Lily who spoke first, unable to stand the atmosphere.
“I am… I knew the master would refuse.”
“My head is a bit complicated to refuse.”
His physical condition, filled with languid fatigue, is also his physical condition, but even in that state, Eunhyeon’s mind was filled with thoughts of the ‘key’ he produced this time.
“I didn’t expect Lily to say something like that.”
“Because Master looked very tired.”
“Thank you. For caring about But from now on, it’s okay if you don’t have to do this.”
Lily, who had been wiping her back, hesitated for a moment at Eun-hyeon’s defiant attitude and drawing a line.
“… I wanted to do it.”
“…”
Eunhyun, who noticed the meaning of the words, kept silent.
In front of her naked body, Lily’s attitude of trying to wait on her while desperately hiding something embarrassing was her honest expression of her feelings.
“Do you hate me?”
“It’s not like that. I can understand why you feel that way. But I already have two wives, no, actually three.”
[I do not care.]
‘… Mr. Belldandy.’
[It was I who persuaded the child to accept the demon child. But how could I oppose it, did you think? Besides, didn’t the witch child say something before? It won’t end with just one person.]
‘…’
Illyana had previously assured Eleanor that she would not end up with one.
Maybe she said this because she foresaw this situation from then on.
Illyana, who usually shows a nonchalant attitude but sometimes shows a sharp side, her sharp prophecy made Eun-hyeon speechless even at this moment.
“You two know.”
“Is it real…”
“He said it was fine with me. You said in the first place that if I was a woman who harmed the master, she would not even let me into this mansion, and she would have been removed from the spot.”
“Haha…”
It is a direct expression that reveals the witch’s personality that pushes away the annoying thing as it is.
“Master, do you know how I was sold into slavery and ended up in that warlock’s dungeon?”
“No, because I never told you.”
When Eun-hyeon brought Lily here, she didn’t ask her about her past.
“I wasn’t even curious. I was hesitant to kill you, and the reason I took it was because the children tried to protect you and you had goodness enough to follow them. That alone was reason enough.”
“I was a demon?”
“Sometimes I’ve killed more humans than demons. I considered the danger because you were a demon, but just because you were a demon does not constitute a reason to kill you.”
Even as Eunhyeon said that, she was surprised inside that she was calmer than she thought.
She probably wouldn’t have come to this conclusion if she had been herself 400 years ago.
Forgiving the beings who have invaded her Earth, killing her own parents and slaughtering many people is no easy decision.
She would not have hesitated to kill Lily, even if she hadn’t met humans who were worse than demons in her 400 years of experience, even if she was a good demon whom many children believed and followed.
Eun-hyeon’s decision to make her choice, which took her back, was a great salvation for Lily to live a new life.
Lily smiled happily and moved her hand that had stopped her.
As she smeared the lather of the shower towel on her back and wiped it off, she put her own shame in her mouth that she couldn’t tell anyone.
“My father. He sold me and his mother to the slave market.”
“Lily. That…”
“No. I want the master to listen.”
Lily stopped her hand and gently placed her forehead on Eun-hyeon’s foam-painted back and crawled.
“And after hearing the story…”
Ugh
At this moment, Lily opened the devil’s characteristics that had been suppressed by Eun-hyeon’s subjugation.
Lifting her forehead from his back and raising her body, Lily lifted the basket containing the bath tools and slowly moved in front of Eun-hyeon.
Her true face that was hidden until now.
She is naked without a single thread, and the goat’s horns on her head are clearly demonic.
However, despite being a demon, the power flowing from her body is not polluted mana that has an adverse effect on the surroundings, but a pure and clean aura containing holy power.
A contradictory situation in which none other than the devil possesses the cleanest aura in the world.
Wouldn’t this be a new race that should be called holy demons, not demons anymore?
The only devil in the world, who has divine power by serving the apostle of God as his master, has finally finished his troubles.
Looking at her owner, who was staring at her calmly with her determined eyes, she opened her mouth.
“I want you to give me an answer to the feelings I conveyed to you.”
The devil took action in order to convey to his owner all of the thoughts he had spent a year thinking about, keeping, and organizing.
