The Demon's Bride

Chapter 739: Stay Together-I

"Only son?" Esther narrowed her eyes. She recalled back into the conversation and statement which the demoness had uttered earlier.

She stated her job to help those who need her help.

Considering that she wanted to help Welyn, it was easy to understand Welyn's wish was to bring back her dead son.

"But Welyn's son, has died. Bringing back him to live is impossible. I have seen those who tried to bring back the dead, but in the end, it is impossible without anyone's sacrifice. Most of the time, I even saw the worse outcome where they fail despite their numerous sacrifice," she warned.

"She might have lost one son but she saw another one as her son," the demoness answered in a bleak attitude.

Esther's eyes widened. Only a second was enough for her to wrap her mind on who the demoness had called as Welyn's second son.

"What do you want to do to Beel?" She narrowed her eyes. "If you truly believe he is similar to a son for Welyn, you are doing the opposite. Instigating a fight between Beel and Welyn's father mean you want him dead!"

Perhaps Beel was strong in means of raw power but he wouldn't want to hurt Welyn's father, knowing how dear the man is to Welyn.

The demoness looked at her for the first two second, "I need him to die. If so, I can bring him to meet her. Her son's soul had disappeared from the abyss but I know his soul wouldn't disappear before hers could leave Hell."

Esther was dumbfounded by the demoness' words.

Taking a step forward, she scrunched her eyebrows in confusion.

"Are you telling me that so Welyn won't be alone you would bring Beel's soul to accompany her?" Esther tried to make sure what she had heard from the demoness was what she had understood because of how unbelievable her statement was.

Yet to her surprise the demoness nodded her head, "You should not worry. I would bring him to death and you after so he wouldn't feel lonely either. I have tricks on my sleeve where all of you would be together in the mortal world."

"I knew it when I first saw you," Esther said while looking at the woman's eyes, "I knew that something was off from you. I was more than correct. You are not only insane but you are out of your mind!"

Esther spread out her hand on her sides, "You don't seem to understand the weight of a person's soul despite looking as if you understand everything."

"What do I not understand?" The demoness asked, her eyes narrowed as though she was offended by Esther's blunt statement. "Humans live with regret and what I did was only making amends for their short live. Many wished to be with their close and treasured people for a longer time. She couldn't. She lost her son early in the most unexpected time and then losing her life without being able to end her regrets."

"What you are doing is only making her regret more on what she had done!" Esther frowned, "Don't you understand what was Welyn's deepest regret was? It was to lose his son and what you are doing now is making her to lose her other son!"

On the other hand, Beelzebub had an intense fight against Welyn's father. In comparison to Welyn's father, he was much stronger. He had the ability to kill the demon in front of him at any second. The only reason he didn't was because he respected Welyn.

Even though the woman had died, the fact that she had sacrificed her life for him was something he know he couldn't repay.

"I raised her thoroughly," Beel heard the man in front of him spoke. "I did all that I could in order to protect her! When she lost her husband, she was devastated. She wasn't strong mentally to begin with but her thoughts were occupied on her son. She lived all her life for him. When he died, no one could ever imagine the pain that hit her!"

Beel dodge the man's attack when he raised his hand to puncture holes to his body.

"Yet you! How dare you trick and kill her! Using her kind disposition to use her for your own advantage!" The demon threw all sort of dangerous items toward Beel.

In ease, Beelzebub avoided the attack, the object hit the mirror behind him, causing a crack. He then glared at the man in return.

"You trusted no one but yourself do you? And you won't listen to my words either."

"Why would I hear the words of the man who had killed my daughter?!"

Beelzebub sighed. He didn't want to dawdle on his explanation and snapped his finger. Blue flames all of a sudden appeared and bloomed in circular pattern below the man's feet.

The man stumbled, trying to escape from being in the middle of the circle but the flame had grown faster than he could escape.

When the man found himself surrounded by fire, unable to find a way to escape, Beelzebub made his way inside the circle. His flame allowed him to enter without suffering any injury.

"You don't believe me then see this," Beelzebub raised his hand and threw the book over to the demon who caught it in time.

His bloodlust was clear and the only thing he wanted was Beelzebub's life. He threw the book to the ground, "All those bullshits won't—" but his words stopped when he heard the light chime coming from the book that he had threw.

His gaze carefully went to Beelzebub, and apprehensively he bent down to take the book while still keeping his gaze at him, to make sure he won't attack him when his guard was down.

Beelzebub didn't move. He simply crossed his arm, letting the man to open the book and read the first page. His eyes fell on the first page but quickly snapped at Beelzebub before looking back at what was written.

After making sure that this was indeed his daughter's handwriting and it wasn't forged, he dropped his weapon and held the book with his two hands. His eyes frantically tried to read what was written.

Beelzebub could also see the scrunch on the man's face as he reached out to his daughter's emotions and sadness that she had never been able to say aloud.

"H- How can you… have this book?" It was clearly Welyn's diary while she was living in the abyss. She explained her reason for choosing to enter the abyss by dying, and her choice why she had taken the path that she did.

"Her close friend who had been living here had accepted her last wish to hold that book until they meet again, but they weren't able to and she gave that book to me. From what I can see, you need that more than me," Beelzebub answered to him who stared at the book.

"What do you meant by lie?" The man asked, he was quick to change his attitude when he realized how he had been lied not by Beelzebub but the demoness instead.
