Chapter 741: Stay Together-III

The demoness fell silence. Welyn\'s father had later apologized to them for the misunderstanding that had occurred. Deeply showing his gratitude to Beelzebub who had showed him his daughter\'s last letter to him which he would never be able to read if not for Beelzebub\'s help.

"I wasn\'t able to help her. I tried to communicate to her but there are wounds that simply those closest to you aren\'t able to heal, no matter what I do," the man bowed his body forward to Beelzebub, "I deeply apologize for my reckless action and words that hurt you. Also, I thank you."

Esther looked at Beelzebub who showed a little cheeky smile, "I am not petty like someone whom I know, you shouldn\'t worry as I won\'t hold a grudge. I won\'t sugarcoat my words as well. In a way, I had killed her."

Welyn\'s father shook his head and Esther was grateful for this.

"It was a choice that she made. No one can be blamed for that."

Welyn\'s father left the mansion as soon as he received the book. Esther watched the demon\'s back, appearing to have a better poise as his burden and regret have been resolved as well.

She looked now to Beelzebub, wondering if he was still bound by the guilt, anguish, and wrath of the past.

"I put everything to my past," Beelzebub said to her, as though he could read her mind.

With her eyes wide, she saw him grinning. "I can see what question you want to ask me by seeing your expression. Can I take this that our love had arrived to that point where words don\'t need to be exchange for us to understand?"

Esther chuckled and shook her head at his behavior. She made her way toward the demoness who had moved to the corner of the room, appearing devastated even though she had lost nothing.

"There is a way for you to understand humans, but that is not simply by watching," Esther told to the woman. "You should perhaps living a life for yourself. After all, in term of knowing a new emotions, nothing is better than being in contact with it by your own hands. Can you let us leave?"

The demoness who was still stunned stood from her place and pulled out her palm, drawing a magic circle on the wall. A sudden split appear on the wall which enlarge and created a portal.

Beelzebub held Esther\'s hands while staring deadly at the demoness. Esther tugged his finger as if to tell him to stop what he did.

"I wish you luck," Esther told the woman before leaving.

The portal took them only a second to bring them back inside a house. Beelzebub made sure the place was safe for them before following Esther who had made her walk outside the small hut they had appeared in.

Esther didn\'t have to look back to feel the sharp and lingering gaze which came from Beelzebub.

"What\'s wrong?" She asked, wondering if she had walked to the wrong path.

"You should have killed her," he said with a roll of his eyes. "You know that she planned to kill me, don\'t you? Yet you seem calm about it."

Esther hummed, "I agreed to kill her if we weren\'t able to stop her by words earlier. While I know that it is foolish to think that everything could be resolved without losing another person\'s life, I believe that if words can solve it, then there\'s no need for more blood to be spilled."

Beelzebub crossed his arm, his eyes narrowing and his eyebrows furrowing tightly.

"It still makes no sense. She would have killed you if you have failed to convince her," Beelzebub\'s eyes grew more intense.

Esther at first didn\'t noticed this but slowly, she couldn\'t miss the annoyance that brimmed from him that had never occurred before.

"What\'s wrong, Beel?" Esther took a step forward when she heard Beelzebub whispering to himself.

\'She will die,\'

"She won\'t." Beelzebub whispered back to himself. In his mind, there was another him who continue to feed him with thoughts that he consider to be the ugliest.

\'And what about earlier? She had released a potential enemy to her. Do you think that demoness wouldn\'t take revenge on her? You knew well better than anyone in a fight it is a precaution to take your enemy\'s life before they form a revenge plan upon you. She is digging her grave.\'

"I can protect her," argued Beelzebub. His own reflection laughed to condescend him.

\'Protect? That\'s not enough,\' in a snap of a finger, his reflection settled himself next to him. \'Protecting her during a fight, is it easy for you to do that? No matter how strong you have become, Noe, in the end protecting her life when you are struggling with protecting your own is difficult.\'

"No," Beelzebub didn\'t want to hear his shadow\'s words again, wanting to tear his consciousness and run away from him. "She is strong and I am strong. Even if it takes my life—"

"True, if only we can bring her into a small space where we can keep her safe. Bring her home, inside our room, lock her…" his shadow\'s voice rang around his head. Beelzebub tried to pull himself together but the compelling words coming from his Greed was far too strong for him to handle.

His head was ringing and a boiling heat spread all over his body made him feel as if he was about to blow from the overwhelming emotions.

"I CAN PROTECT HER!"

Beelzebub huffed for the breaths he had lost. His eyes opened wide where a reflection appeared to his red lenses— the frightened face coming from Esther who he had pinned underneath him.

Esther clenched her finger on his shoulder and while he can feel the sharp pain of her fingernails clawing to his flesh, he could feel the cold icy water washing over his heart when he noticed where his hand had settled on her ankle.

His fingers tightened on her ankle even tighter and her other ankle had turned bluish— a result of her bone being shattered in pieces from inside.

The finger marks upon her skin was clear to come from him.

Beelzebub didn\'t remember his own action.

He might not remembered it as he had been fighting to his Greed but he didn\'t forget how he had let his own greed to manipulate him.

"Beel?" Esther released her grip on him when seeing his consciousness had gotten back in him.

Beelzebub staggered behind. His head shook and his handsome face was twisted in a pain that he didn\'t felt physically.

"You have to stay away from me, Esther. Just for today," Beelzebub pursed his lips. He took her and carried her in a heartbeat when all of a sudden he had teleport inside the white mansion, surprising Maroon and Lilith who was standing in the hallways after taking care of the house.

Esther saw Beelzebub\'s face that remained twisted. Without a word, he had put her to the couch. Esther tried to speak but Beelzebub had instead whispered to her, "Sleep."

His magic was imbued on his words, causing her eyes to close at once.

In silence, Beelzebub brushed his hand over her face.

"Can I ask you just for this once, to let her here and don\'t let her leave?"

Ian, who had appeared magically exhaled his breaths, "Fine."

"Thank you," Beelzebub whispered, disappearing after leaving Esther whose ankle had been bandaged.
