The Demon's Bride

Chapter 747: Tearing You-III

His greed yelled in pain. The same excruciating pain that Beel felt was also inflicted to his greed. Previous Beelzebub wouldn't be daring enough to do what he had done and he knew it was all because greed feeding them the importance of their life compared to others.

Beelzebub, however, saw Esther as a part of his soul which is more important than himself.

Esther watched him who squeezed his body in pain from outside the cave. It urged her to run after him and provide him comfort for the pain he had to go through but the demoness next to her stopped her before she could take another step toward him.

"The ritual is sacred and very sensitive. Your soul could be in danger as well as his if you recklessly step inside the cave's boundaries."

Esther clenched her jaw. To watch and do nothing but witness Beelzebub in pain was hard to endure for her heart that wrenched in pain whenever she heard a sharp painful cry coming from her beloved.

She clenched her hand, withstanding the amount of pain her heart had to go through while thinking of the unimaginable pain that Beelzebub was going through.

Beelzebub unhesitatingly stab the dagger across his neck. Although no blood came from the wound, Esther who saw the action by her own eyes felt her heart dropped as Beelzebub's body fell forward.

She looked at the demoness who shook her head as if to say that it wasn't the time for her to come near him yet. The whole process of only watching was difficult for her to handle and when she saw Beelzebub collapse on the ground, panic rushes over her blood.

"What happened to him now?" She questioned the demoness who was the only person aware of the ritual Beel had performed.

"His soul is trying to fix itself. Similar to when a wound appear on the body, his soul is currently trying to heal and fix what was cut off from him. It is the most crucial moment for him and it will take hours."

"I will stay here," Esther said to the demoness who had just thought of asking her to retreat from the place as she knew how painful it was for Esther to witness Beelzebub's suffering.

The demoness didn't object and left her, making space for the two.

For three hours, Esther stood from afar, watching Beelzebub who remained unconscious. The demoness had used her magic to place Beel in a sleeping position, covered by a duvet.

She couldn't keep her eyes off from his chest that raise and fall, not wanting to look away out of fear.

When the demoness appeared again, it was the seventh hour.

"He should wake up by now," she announced.

Esther was disheartened as even until the ninth hours, Beelzebub was unconscious. She couldn't come near to check his condition which put her in more anxiety.

She didn't want to sleep but the stress put her body under pressure and before long, Esther who couldn't keep on tracking her time had fallen asleep.

She woke up out of breaths when she recalled how Beelzebub was in a crucial condition and rushed to look at his condition. She found him still sleeping but was still unconvinced until she watched the raise and fall of his chest again.

It was then when she heard the grunt coming from him and tears fell from her eyes when she noticed his finger moving. She quickly rushed to his side, "Noe?" She whispered his name lowly, her eyes unable to look away from his closed eyelids.

Slowly he opened his red eyes and the entire process felt like eternity for Esther. Her heart uplifted when she saw his eyes had opened.

"I did well, didn't I? Now Ian can't call me a coward anymore," his voice was rough and dry and before he managed to swallow his saliva and moistened his throat, Esther had pulled him into her embrace, snuggling her head over his shoulder.

"Thank you," she whispered, continue to thank him over and over again in her low and hushed voice.

Beelzebub's fingers tensed when touching her. He remembered how his last touch had caused wound and harm to her but now, his greed had disappeared. His firm arm wrapped over her shoulders, hugging her tighter than before.

"I'm sorry I made you wait for long but for now, you wouldn't have to worry about chasing me anymore. I will forever stay with you, beside you, Esther," he whispered her lovely name, pulling away to kiss her forehead before leaning more forward to kiss her dewy lips and wiping her tears all at the same time.

The demoness who watched how the two love had reunited, smiled finally and walked away to disappear from the place.

Elise, in the white mansion, watched how the sky that had turned gloomy for the whole day finally turning brighter and a smile appear to her face.

She had taken a step when all of a sudden her stomach twist and a sharp cry escaped from her lips. Lilith who had walked in front of her room didn't miss the sound and quickly rushed inside to see Elise water had broke.

"Maroon!" She shouted for her husband name who rushed inside. "I will bring the lady to the bed, please call the physician and a warm bucket of water now!"

In second, both Heaven and Hell was shaken by the news of Satan's granddaughter's birth. Michael and Gabriel stood amongst each other and Gabriel was the first to sigh when seeing the mirror that reflect the mortal world was occupied by Uriel, Raphael, and Raziel.

"Don't tell me Satan would rush to the mortal world?" Gabriel was the lone angel who had only a single wing on his back but he wasn't distressed about it and instead worried about the upcoming danger rushing to the mortal world.

"No one can stop him," Michael said, even if he could, he didn't see why he should bother such a joyous occasion. "I believe just for today he would discipline himself."

Gabriel smiled at that and deliberated on moving forward and backward, seemingly wanting to come closer to the mortal mirror. Seeing this, Michael raised one of his eyebrows subjectively, "Do you truly need the mirror?"

"Well, I don't…" Gabriel looked at his brother with a smile, knowing that Michael's weak spot was the smile of his dearest angels, "Can I borrow some of the mirror, however? Just for once."

"The mortal mirror is not for a single angel's use," Michael gave the rule of the heaven, causing Gabriel to sigh.

"Yeah, I know that you would say—"

"But I don't see how there is any angel respecting that rule today," Michael pointed his finger on the angel who was busy surrounding the mirror. "Since I would be punishing everyone tomorrow, I see no harm of adding you into the list."

Gabriel's smile bloomed, "I knew that you would agree!" Quickly, he rushed between his fellow archangel and took a piece of the mirror before rushing to the garden where Lucy was located, happily sharing the joyful news.

Not far from the garden, Raziel had taken the opportunity of spreading the news to her daughter as well who cried a little when seeing the face of her precious grandsons.
