Afterward, Christine selected two more undergarments based on the store manager’s recommendation, and stepped outside.
Was it out of consideration for her?
Jekkiel didn’t even ask what she had chosen.
If it was consideration, it worked.
Thanks to that, Christine was able to relax a little faster.
‘Now, should we get back on the carriage?’
She looked at Jekkiel, who was deep in thought with his eyes quietly closed.
His hair was neatly combed back, and his clothes were perfectly wrinkle-free.
It was a look she used to hate to death, but now it looked quite dependable.
Wasn’t it an even more sinful look than hers, the embodiment of pride?
She stared blankly at him for a moment.
‘What is he doing, standing there like a scarecrow?’
She shook her head vigorously and cautiously approached him.
He didn’t seem to notice her as she approached, so she cleared her throat.
“What are you thinking so hard about?”
“I’m not particularly worried about anything. You’re the one who must have been lost in thought.”
“Excuse me?”
“Otherwise, it wouldn’t have taken this long.”
It was a smile that contained a bit of playful teasing rather than a real rebuke.
“I wondered what you were thinking about and what you chose that made you think so hard. I thought about those things a little.”
“Ah… No… Well…”
What she was thinking about and what she chose? She couldn’t bear to say it out loud right now. Christine’s face naturally flushed red.
“I wasn’t particularly interested. I just took a few things the manager packed for me and came out.”
“Is that so?”
Even if she wasn’t interested, even if the manager just packed them randomly, didn’t he care at all?
Now that she thought about it, he was originally going to choose them himself.
Christine looked at Jekkiel with a strangely disgruntled look.
“You don’t seem to care at all.”
“Anything will look good on you.”
It wasn’t a careless answer.
He was sincerely saying to Christine, ‘Anything looks good on you,’ but she still wasn’t satisfied.
Not yet.
“It seems you weren’t going to choose them yourself after all.”
“I will choose.”
Jekkiel pondered for a moment.
“Christine. If I choose for you, will you like whatever it is?”
“Yes?”
“I mean it.”
“Well… I guess we’ll see about that.”
“I’ll prepare them myself.”
It was a trivial conversation, but it strangely left the nuance of, ‘In the end, I will prepare something.’
That alone was enough to melt her sullen heart, and a strange new feeling took its place.
Why was she acting like this?
She felt a little foolish.
‘How silly.’
She felt unreasonably upset by Jekkiel’s indifferent attitude, as if he didn’t care about her, but she couldn’t bring herself to hate him for it.
Back when she hated him, even his breathing was a reason to hate him.
Once she started relying on him, even the mere act of him looking her way became a reason to endure and forgive.
A vampire’s emotions were so unreasonable.
“Jekkiel. You.”
Therefore, Christine just called the man’s name.
“Aren’t you returning to the human world in two days?”
“That’s right. Once I return, I’ll probably rarely have a reason to come to the demon realm.”
“Rarely…”
Her heart sank heavily, as if a stone was tied to it.
They weren’t on borrowed time, but it was precisely because they weren’t that it was even more heartbreaking.
Of course, Christine could go down to the human world with Artel and see him.
However, it wouldn’t be like now, where they were practically glued to each other’s side, spending time alone.
“Don’t worry. I will fulfill my mission.”
She wasn’t worried about whether he would fulfill his mission or not.
Jekkiel would accomplish his mission.
He was the kind of person who would find a way, no matter what.
But the important thing was whether Jekkiel would need her after that.
That was the crucial point.
She would be happy if he fulfilled his mission, but now that she was his fiancée, she couldn’t help but care as a woman, and not just as the Sin of Pride.
However, she wouldn’t whine about extending their time here.
As she had said before, she wouldn’t pester him to come to the demon realm once a week because she needed to interrogate him.
The woman’s only wish was that these two days would be precious and happy.
That was all.
“What else are you curious about?”
“Nothing. It’s nothing.”
“Then it’s settled. Let’s get going.”
Christine nodded silently and stood beside Jekkiel.
Her steps towards the carriage were heavy.
If she had more experience in this area, she would have made suggestions and used every minute and second wisely, but unfortunately, Christine had no such knowledge.
The parked carriage came into view in the distance.
“Jekkiel.”
“What is it?”
“What is our next schedule?”
“Nothing’s been decided. I think we’ll be heading straight back to our accommodations.”
“Hmm… Then…”
She took a quick step forward, spun around, and blocked Jekkiel’s path.
It was something she wouldn’t normally do.
However, today was not ‘normal’.
So it was okay for just this once.
Besides, she wouldn’t regret this later.
“It’s about time for your Interrogation.”
Was this a selfish act?
She didn’t know.
She wanted to vaguely explain it as a way to use their time efficiently.
No matter who asked, she would stubbornly insist on that.
“Today… I’d like to sleep with you.”
She tried to sound as casual as possible, but her voice trembled nonetheless.
Jekkiel was also quite shaken by her words.
Since possessing this body, he had been faithful to his role, acting and embodying the Sin of Pride.
After going to the human world, he had strived to be a good professor…
Either way, all he could remember was running towards his ultimate goal.
Of course, there were moments when he felt a sense of crisis, but in retrospect, he didn’t think those were major setbacks.
But this.
Well…
‘Let’s sleep together?’
As Jekkiel wandered around, he glanced all over the place.
What was this?
He didn’t think a death flag had been raised.
Christine Kiss & Glory.
Who was she?
Aside from the past, good-for-nothing Jekkiel, there was almost no one in this demon realm who could treat her carelessly.
Good deeds and more good deeds.
Thanks to her continuous good deeds and upright character, even her aides held admiration and respect for her with every breath they took.
Moreover, she was by no means foolish.
She was intelligent and had her own firm beliefs.
What was even more brilliant was that she never forced her beliefs on others.
Everything was always carefully calculated, so if she was suggesting they sleep together…
‘What? Does she need a rapier punching bag?’
Clearing his throat, Jekkiel spoke.
“Interrogation. Ah, that’s right. It is about time for the interrogation.”
“Yes. I said it’s time for the interrogation.”
Right, well…
To be honest, Christine’s initial ultimatum was, ‘I will interrogate you once a week,’ but it had already been more than two weeks.
It was about time.
By the way, getting stabbed with a rapier hurt like hell.
He rubbed his forehead in frustration.
“Why? Is something bothering you?”
“Why would there be? I’m just nervous, that’s all.”
“Ner, nervous, you say? You?”
“How can I not be nervous?”
His words were so unexpected and shocking that Christine’s eyes darted around before dropping to the floor.
“I-I’m nervous too.”
What was there for her to be nervous about?
All she had to do was stab him.
Christine’s eyes slowly rose again to meet his.
Her jewel-like red eyes sparkled.
“Well… Still. It’s a safe day today. So it should be fine.”
“Of course it should be safe.”
She was the one doing the stabbing.
However, Christine seemed to be at a loss for words for a moment, her expression turning blank before she blushed furiously.
“Ah, a safe day is a set date, but what do you mean by ‘of course it should be safe’?”
“Never mind, never mind.”
Anyway, once he returned to the human world, it was true that he wouldn’t be able to see Christine for a while.
There was no reason not to grant her wish if she had one.
Managing her mental state would also affect the happy ending.
“If that’s what you want, then I’ll do it. As it should be.”
With that, Jekkiel walked towards the carriage first.
‘If that’s what you want, then I’ll do it.’
Christine found his words both infuriating and unfair once more.
She had so much to say, but Jekkiel erased her thoughts once again with those simple words.
She carefully thought out every word before she spoke, so why was it so easy for him?
“Th-the carriage is expected to shake violently again. This time, I’ll hold onto you.”
“Unnecessary.”
“It’s not unnecessary.”
Clutching the items the store manager had packed, Christine chased after Jekkiel with hurried steps.
Night was slowly falling upon the demon realm.
