The Demon's Bride

Chapter 740: Stay Together-II

"Indeed," Beelzebub said when finally the man had came around and understood the fault he made in his decision. "Welyn died because of me."

The demon clenched his hand in anger and Beelzebub was grateful he had some ounce of smartness on his head as he went silent and let him to continue.

"My uncle who had killed my parents had wanted to take my life next but Welyn had used her life to save me. For this I can never forget the gratitude of her action," Beelzebub sincerely expressed his words. "If not because of her, perhaps I would have died and more than that, perhaps I would never be able to see her," Beelzebub's eyes moved to Esther who was staying from afar.

It was difficult for Welyn's father to believe his words and Beelzebub understand this well. Considering the demoness's background, her words would hold more weigh than him but he believed the man understood his sincerity.

When the man in front of him took down his guard and will to attack, Beelzebub took this as a sign that the?misunderstanding had been resolved.

"What was her last word?"

Beelzebub recalled there was no time for them to share any words as his uncle marched for the kill. But he never forgot her last word to him, "She told me to take care of myself."

"That sounds like her very much," the demon said. He was a demon but to his daughter he was only a father. Holding the book tightly to his hand, the man closed his eyes. "She should Rest In Peace now. So no danger and trouble would come to her and for her soul to be in a better place."

"I trust to the angels, her soul is a bright one. She wouldn't be treated badly in Hell," Beelzebub replied and snapped his finger to let the flame that circulate around them to be extinguished.

He then went to see Esther who brushed her hand over her cheeks, standing before the demoness whom she had thrown over the walls.

The demoness was shocked by how strong Esther was. All she knew about Esther that she was a half demoness who lacked the blood to become a full fledged demon or human.

Those who are a mix would often suffer from lack of power and even though her power wasn't as strong as she was in the past where she triumph the most, the demoness know she was still powerful enough to take care of a high demoness alone. Yet despite that, Esther had took her down in ease.

"What did you do?" The demoness demanded for answer, completely stunned by her magic that had trapped the woman on the wall. As the demoness struggled to get away from the wall, there was an invisible pressure that pushed her deeper on the wall.

"You are stronger than me. In term of power and maybe magic. But I am confident in my knowledge of magic for I know almost all magic in Hell if not all," Esther answered that shocked the demoness.

"There are more than millions of magic spell! You can never remember those by heart."

"And I did. When one is desperate, demoness. They would be able to do anything that others claim as impossible. For me to survive despite all my numerous weakness is my knowledge and I made sure to hone that as my weapon."

The demoness gritted her teeth when she saw how Beelzebub hands somehow assured Welyn's father of who his real enemy was.

"Welyn would not like this! She wanted to see her son again. You won't be able to visit her and I am certain you would also want to meet her again!" She raised her voice, shouting at both Beelzebub and Welyn's father.

Beelzebub watched the woman with his lips exhaling a tired sigh, "I do want to see her again and it is impossible which I also know, but that business, I can do it at later time and knowing her, I know she would wish me to do the same. My time is short and I wish to spend it only with the love of my life."

Esther who understood his words by his time being shot closed her eyes together and opened to see him with a smile.

"You—" the demoness looked at the rest of the people in the room with a dumbfounded expression, she was unable to comprehend their reason for refusing to agree with her plan.

Was it not clear?

"Humans and demons, your life is short. Her soul staying above the abyss would stay only for another few decades. If you do not meet her now, you would make her regret it to the end of when her soul disappear! You do know that as a form as punishment Welyn's soul would be incinerate where her existence would be gone forever!"

Esther didn't know the obsession which the demoness has on granting Welyn's wish despite her truest wish being far from the one she acted on her own will.

She recalled how the children book where Beelzebub had told her once mentioned the sympathy and sadness that the demoness had for those who are unable to finish their regrets.

At the time before her death, there would be many regrets which Welyn suffered and this was one of the major reason for the demoness's firm believe to grant her wish.

The demoness's role in the book she was told in was mentioned as goddess of sympathy. It was because she pitied humans and demons alike that she would help them despite the loss she could possibly suffer from.

If Beelzebub's curse was greed, Esther could see the demoness's deep sympathy for humans and demons were in a way, also a curse.

"Do you think that when Welyn saw Beelzebub in a form of a soul, she would be joyful?" Esther questioned the demoness who looked at her with a confused expression.

"She would."

"She would not," Esther shut down the woman's foolish idea. "If she consider Beelzebub as her own son, would she be truly glad from the bottom of her heart to see her son in a form of a soul?"

As if finally understanding the weight of her action, the demoness's face paled.

"When Welyn realize that her son, whom she had protected with her own life, had been killed by her father. Do you think she would not be devastated? She would be beyond that feelings. Before you made any mistake, I suggest for you to stop on your action and reflect once again. That is if it was truly your wish to help the souls around you."

Esther released her magic when she noticed the demoness had put down her desire to fight. The demoness staggered.

"I was wrong? But humans… those humans wished for the same…" the demoness appeared to be confused.

"You won't be able to understand a human's emotions," Beelzebub who had appeared next to Esther held her hand as he spoke to the demoness. His eyes were still hostile to the demoness. Even if she had a misunderstanding it was an unchanging fact that the woman had tried to kill them.

The demoness who was still in a state of shock looked at Beel who showed her a smileless smile, "You can't even understood the true wish of those near you, sometimes not even yourself. How would you ever be able to guess a person's wish and emotions correctly? Talk is the key. Communicate and as for those who had left this world, let them have their rest."
