Chapter 44 – Going Crazy Like This
A time in the demon realm that she couldn’t even tell again.
Bella's attempt to rip and repair the demon realm was… Short-lived.
After waiting for three minutes to endure up with her patience, the door opened with a clicking sound from the microwave, and the anger that heated for three minutes ran towards the hearts of the demons.
"Princess, you must not kill too many.”
At that time, for some reason, Zanbar stopped her like an assistant.
“The more people die, the more they feel threatened and the faster they quarrel with each other. I think it's dangerous for the Tallam squad to grow.”
"Right…! So you want to eradicate it?"
Bella smiled and put her hands together. She didn't even try to explain each one anymore, and she didn't warn with anger.
"Hey, what are you guys doing?"
“We’re just passing by.”
"What?"
"Pr… Princess?"
Although the mollusk-type demons passing by begged her until the suckers were worn out, she was relentless. If she didn't like it, she took out their heart. And, recently she started drawing on the floor with their blood.
The demons glanced at Bella and couldn't even clean up their cold companion's corpse. If they got caught while cleaning it up, they would be killed, too.
“Zanbar, the smell of blood vibrates too much. Don't call the worms to clean up. Tell the kids to clean up with water."
"Still, they did the best job, right?"
"When all of them die, isn't it good because you're the best?"
Zanbar looked at Bella, who was growing like the Demon King, with a very proud look and pledged allegiance to her inside. When she was in the human world, the worries that he heard whenever she acted unlike the Princess were long gone.
Bella didn't think in her previous life that she was ‘a very righteous cop.’ She was just a hardworking police officer, and she was normally good.
Maybe, that was why…?
She was neither vaguely good nor bad. The more she stayed in that cruel place, the more blurred the line between conscience and morality. There was no guilt in killing the insect-type demons.
However, the more she killed and killed, the more she ended up killing humanoid monsters. And, now the smell of human blood stimulated Bella, like the sweet smell of a bakery. As if she smelled chicken in the elevator, she ordered chicken as soon as she got home.
When the smell of the sweet blood began to emanate from somewhere, she cut them lavishly, one by one with her fingernails and her sword.
Now, when the demons present humans captured from the human world as one of the things that the Princess like, Bella rejoiced like Zanbar and gave the humans a sword.
“Come on, I’ll give you a chance to kill me. Bring it on."
Even when they scrambled and attacked several at once, she easily avoided them and enjoyed the game of slaughtering them.
As she looked at the seven corpses one by one, Pur called out to Bella in a bright voice.
"Princess! Iwer sent you clothes!"
Iwer, clothes, human world…
“..Aahh.”
The moment she heard the words, Bella’s red eyes widened her pupils, and she met the human eye from which she had taken the life.
“I did it again…”
Bella visited her room after a long time, decorated just like it had been in the human realm.
"Pur, get some bath water."
"Yes!"
After saying that, she glanced at the clothes sent by Iwer and shook her head. It was a gorgeous and pretty dress that noble girls would wear when they debuted in the social world.
It didn’t match who she was now…
Bella immersed herself in the warm bath water and trembled as she rubbed the hand that had touched a person’s heart a little while ago.
She had known for a long time that the more she used her power, the more she got drunk with it. The more so, the simpler the demons become, the more she moves instinctively. Once or twice when she was in the human world, she felt like she was going to lose her mind.
Especially, when she smelled blood.
Before she broke out each time, she found reason.
“…Am I turning into a monster?”
Now, her mind was breaking down one by one. At first, she was afraid that she would live five thousand years in this hellish place, although now, she feared that she would not be human during those years.
‘I want to get out…’
Bella spread the summoning circle in her bathtub and tried to communicate with Iwer after a long time.
“Iwer.”
"Kyaa! I've been waiting for so long!"
“What were your thoughts on sending me that dress?”
"Haha. Don't you like it?"
“There’s no reason to wear that.”
Even if she was going to wear it, it was an outfit that didn't suit her anymore now.
"Miss, Do you want to come to the human world? I found a wizard who can summon."
Bella hurriedly got up from the bathtub. It was really unimaginable. If that was possible, she wanted to get out of here.
"Really? Iwer, you did it! Wonderful!"
"As expected, I knew that even the Miss would want to come to the human world! I'm going to ask to summon you now."
She thought she could get out of it somehow and go back to Kiehl.
At that moment, it looked like the summoning circle was drawn in front of her eyes.
"You can't go, Princess!"
"Kyaaa, Pur! Long time no see."
When Pur heard Iwer's small voice on Bella's radio, she approached her with a bright expression on her face.
“Iwer! Can you hear me?”
"Yes. I heard you well. How are you?"
"I'm doing well. Princess and Sir Zanbar is doing well, too!"
At that time, the circular summoning circle was all drawn in the air, and Bella was about to enter it.
"Oh! No!"
Pur grabbed Bella's hand and stopped her.
“Xx. don't touch me. I'm leaving!"
For some reason, Bella vomited in her anger and pushed Pur away.
"You… You should wear clothes!"
Only then did she realize she was naked and run to the closet before the summoning circle disappeared.
“You can come naked.”
Then, over the radio, a bang was heard, and Jenkins' voice was heard.
“Iwer, are you crazy?”
Meanwhile, Pur murmured slyly as Bella hurriedly put on her clothes.
"I'm seeing the Princess naked right now!"
"Ohh. I want to see it with my own eyes.”
“I think you’ll like it, so I’ll tell you vividly! The Princess's chest is—”
However, Pur couldn't continue her words anymore. It was because Bella had already cut off her tongue.
Beyond the radio, Iwer was anxiously waiting for Pur's story.
"What is the Princess's chest! Tell me more…!"
"No!"
Pur picked up her severed tongue and put it together.
"Wow! The tongue sticks quickly!"
Bella put on her clothes and headed to the summoning circle. Although as soon as she touched the summoning jin, she bounced off straight away.
"…Why can’t I go in?"
“I think we need more magic.”
Bella turned herself into a cat and ran to the summoning circle, but to no avail. No matter how many times she bumped, she still bounced off.
"Aaaaah…!"
Even though she struggled and bumped into it, the more she did, the more she felt the burning pain in her skin. Bella entered the fading summoning circle with only one hand.
"Please, please!"
In the human world beyond the summoning circle, Jenkins held Bella's hand.
As she entered the human realm, her hand was cut like a knife, it was bitter. The next moment, Jenkins' voice was heard over the radio.
"Lady, you’re hurt too much."
"I don’t care."
Nonetheless, Jenkins pushed Bella's hand away.
She stared at her red-tinted hands as all of her skin had been peeled off and stared blankly at the place where the disappeared summoning circle had been.
"I can't go out…?"
Then, Jenkins spoke over the radio.
“… I'll find a way. If you want to."
After that, Bella had nothing she could do but wait.
One day, two days, a week, a month…
She just wanted to get out of there for just one day.
"Not yet?"
“I requested a magic amplification tool from Elysia Magic School. Please, wait."
And so, it was another month, then two months…
To avoid going crazy, Bella locked herself in her room and waited, holding her breath. So, time went by so fast. Spending her last day of 1166 awake, Bella stared lonely at the calendar. She connected the radio with blank eyes.
"Miss! Now, we matched the wizard and the amplification tool! We’ll be able to summon you in a few days!"
“Iwer. I am not going.”
After a long silence over the radio, Iwer asked.
"Yeah? What did you just say?”
“I’m not going.”
"…Why?"
January 1, 1167.
It was the year that Kiehl came to the demon realm and he had to kill her. She didn't know when he would come, so she couldn't leave now.
“You said you wanted to come to the human world.”
“I guess it’s my fate that I can’t go.”
"You only have to wait a few days?"
Bella exhaled a short breath and shook her head.
"Is Jenkins there?"
"Yes…”
She decided to accept her own fate with solemnity. With a little more patience, her own role in this novel comes to an end. She just wanted to let go of everything now.
"When Kiehl becomes Emperor, I swore to grant a wish but you grant it for him."
With those words, she turned off the radio.
‘Come quickly, Kiehl.'
Since then, Bella started to think she was in the novel. She read it over and over again, and she waited for that day.
‘Come and kill me.'
Before she really goes crazy.
***
“Pr, Princess! It is said that a hero has entered the Demon Realm!”
Bella sat on the throne of the Demon King and quietly waited for the end of this novel. She burned all the novels she had copied and stood up.
Now, she even made her clothes, especially for this moment.
She collected her long hair and put it inside the iron mask, and put it on her face. Putting on baggy pants, she took off the top and put a bandage around her chest. Then, she put on a feathered cloak, wanting to look a little more bulky.
"Do I look like the demon king?"
"….!”
Her fast-beating heart was announcing that the time and the end were approaching like an alarm.
Time for Kiehl to kill her as she wished.
‘I really liked you.'
…It was time for her role to end as in the original story.
Kiikk—
The door opened, and he appeared like a ray of light in this dark demonic castle.
This was the end of her role for ‘Bella’ in the novel…
‘Next time, I want to possess this novel again. If I can possess the role I want to play, then I will try to possess Rosanne.'
…So that she could share the days with Kiehl that she had never experienced.
Puk.
Bella heard her own heart-piercing for the first time. She caught her breath in an instant, though she opened her eyes again and stared at Kiehl's face.
‘When I was with you, I was able to live like a human the most…’
The last time she saw him, she felt like she was crying like before.
‘…Goodbye, my Kiehl.'
