Chapter 471

Princess Belle elegantly smiled and extended her hand. Elder Seigh did not hesitate and kissed the back of her hand.

"Princess, just like I said. My loyalty is forever yours."

The woman nodded and gave him a knowing smile.

"I am Delabelle Zuri y Angsalvor."

"P- princess!!"

The Elves were shocked as they heard her real name for the first time.

However, Princess Belle looked unaffected by their expressions. Instead, she took a step and approached them.

Some of the Elves backed away because they understood that Princess Belle was already a Demon and she was releasing corruption. They instinctively moved away from her.

Still, few Elves remained standing. They were the faction that had the utmost loyalty to the Princess. They were the warriors that joined her in the Underworld.

The Elves witnessed their Princess' bravery. Despite having a weak constitution, she had the guts to talk to Demon Lords. The fact that their leader, a woman, the last High-Elf, took a step to the frontline was enough to garner their trust.

However, it did not change the fact that Mikael the Demon Lord, did something horrible to her.

They looked at her. Hoping and waiting for her answer. Witnessing her bravery, it was foolish for them to not follow her lead.

If their Princess sacrificed so much, then they would sacrifice their lives too.

Princess Belle nodded. Satisfied with what she was seeing.

So, she decided to show them what she was capable of.

"This is the only way."

She spoke. The Elves flinched, realizing her thoughts. If there was someone who could stop the end of the world, they would put their bets on her.

So when she spoke something vague yet obvious, the Elves immediately lowered their heads. Some of them bit their lips till they bleed, they were frustrated.

"I have seen the end... All of us died. No, the whole universe died."

Was she lying? Only the woman herself could answer.

But right now, the Elves believe what she said.

"I know it sounds foolish, and I will not force you to follow me. However, I'm telling the truth. The universe will end once the Demon Lords occupied this planet. The Hunters are powerful mortals, they have the ability to bend reality even though they did not have the power of God. Once they become Demons..."

The Elves gulped. Perhaps they had an inkling of what would happen.

"I am your Princess, and I'm doing my best to stop this destruction. Not for us, but for the whole universe."

She took another step.

This time, no one backed away. They were staring at the leader that they promised to serve.

"Let's accept the truth. We are all going to die."

"..."

"However, I will give you an opportunity to see the new beginning."

She was like a devil deceiving them to bite the apple. In fact, there was a faint smile creeping on her face. Because in the first place, she already knew their decision.

All she had to do was follow the Vision and everything would be over. Well, it was not that easy, sometimes she almost died, and sometimes Mikael almost died. Even Niña's death was part of the variable.

This shows that even a woman who knows the future can never alter it, perhaps to a certain degree.

"... I swear my loyalty to Your Highness."

One by one, the Elves bend their knees and bowed before her. The princess saw a Vision and she sacrificed herself to attain/stop it. The Elves put their trust in her.

"Hm."

She extended her arm and cut her skin. Filthy blood gently spread on the floor, representing her changes.

The closest one, Elder Siegh, swallowed hard. Still, he lowered his head and licked the blood.

Perhaps the Elves were just tired, they did not want to fight anymore. Losing a lot made them vulnerable. Just the sight of their Princess succumbing to corruption made them weak.

And Princess Belle used that weakness.

All of them are going to hell, but they did not regret it. Because they are already living in one.

Their appearance slowly changed. Some of them groaned as horns protruded out of their heads.

The woman watched them, amused by their sheer will to accept defeat.

......

...

...

"Papa~"

A sweet giggle echoed and a young child ran toward his father.

Lemar clutched his small hands on his father's lap, like a little monkey.

His eyes were glowing innocently, they could melt anyone's heart.

Unlike in the past, Kyle had a soft smile as he carried his child. Losing one made him understand the importance of life.

He hugged his child, with love and affection. Lemar rests his head on his father's chest, and the child felt safe in his arms.

Miriam was just watching them, trying to hold her tears.

It was something that she did not expect to see, but now it was happening right before her eyes. Suddenly, her vision blurred.

"Mama?"

Lemar glanced at her.

Miriam shook her head and wiped her tears.

"It's nothing baby, just dust flew into my eyes."

"Un."

Lemar closed his eyes and fell asleep.

Kyle and Miriam looked at the little guy who was sleeping peacefully. He was the reason why they were doing their best.

"... Do you want me to take him to his room. He can sleep better there."

Miriam asked.

"Thank you."

Kyle gently passed her the child and Miriam left him alone.

Suddenly, a person showed you right after Miriam left.

"... You got to be kidding me? You really have affection towards that child?"

Kim Soo-Woon showed up with a frown on his face. He could not believe that Kyle could smile like that.

"I know that you are cured... Are you sure you're okay? Are you really Kyle Rockwell?"

Kyle shrugged and summoned a pair of chairs and a table.

"..."

"Let's talk."

"Yeah, that's why I am here."

Kim Soo-Woon accepted his hospitality and lit up a cigarette.
