I Am The Last Villainess He Has To Kill

Chapter 117: What First Night Is This

Chapter 117 – What First Night Is This

“By the way, is it really the first night? You two already…”

Bella cut Iwer's tongue first.

The only thing she could hope for was that after the festival, she decided to go to the beach with Kiehl on a short schedule. With a pounding heart, Bella walked with Jenkins, her aide, to the place where the coronation ceremony was to be held.

“Miss doesn’t seem to be nervous at all.”

“What is there to be nervous about?”

In the novel, after the third contest, a splendid engagement ceremony is held on Kiehl's birthday. However, Bella's circumstances were very different.

‘Come to think of it, Rosanne doesn’t work in the novel…’

She had Rohan as her enemy, so she started work. Although she was still a new recruit, she gave bomb work comparable to that of a manager. In addition to the new business card, the weekly holiday allowance was cut from the overdue salary.

It was all because of that Rohan.

“Now that I’m officially the Crown Princess, I’ll find any accusations against the bastard Rohan and kill him.”

The more she thought of Rohan, the more he seemed to be the key figure in the novel's twist.

Not only that he didn't give Kiehl and her time to properly say goodbye, but he even stopped her from going to see him sometimes. He sent Peter, Kiehl's henchman, to be killed as an assassin, and Rohan followed him on a trip to look for the holy relic instead.

Maybe that was why Kiehl didn't have a happy relationship with Rosanne? Besides, it was Rohan who decided to make Bella sit as the Crown Princess.

“Wait… If Rohan dies, Kiehl and I will have more work to do, so will it be a loss?”

“Why don’t you throw him into the Demon Realm?”

“Hmm…”

That was a good idea, too.

It seemed like it would be refreshing to see Rohan groaning in pain for the rest of his life. That was only 2% compared to the amount of time he'd suffer afterwards.

Bella asked Jenkins what he had been thinking since they were talking about the demon realm.

“Oh, I'm thinking of throwing all the criminals of the Empire who deserve the death penalty into the Demon Realm. What do you think?”

“That’s nice.”

“Right? We don't have to spend unnecessary money on prisons. It’s good for the demons to eat delicious food.”

Jenkins sighed and laughed. A demon king who was worried about the budget for prisons.

“Sometimes, I think you like the human realm better than the demon realm.”

Bella shrugged her shoulders.

“Isn’t the human realm more worth living than the demon realm? The demons don't understand the language at all.”

“Hmm…”

“Look at Zanbar. I told him to go to the mansion and bring stuff, what is so difficult that he failed every time? If he weren't a general, I would have just killed him.”

When Bella bluntly crossed her arms and swore, Jenkins cleared his throat and made an excuse for Zanbar.

“I think the Young Master misinformed him about reading the compass.”

“He must have heard it wrong. There's no way our Kiehl wouldn't know that, right?”

“…The Young Master said it was red because it was warm.”

Bella didn't say anything and tugged on Jenkins' ear.

“Do you think I wouldn’t know that if you guys were at a disadvantage, you would use Kiehl as a shield?”

“Awawaw… I think it’s real.”

“Think about it. He’s been traveling everywhere for two years to collect holy relics, he doesn’t even know how to read a compass?”

Jenkins glared at her with pensive eyes.

“…Zanbar doesn't lie about things like that.”

“So, you're saying that our Kiehl lied?”

As soon as Jenkins heard that, he smiled bitterly. Anyway, she was always on Kiehl's side.

“Miss, don’t be too affectionate with humans. At least the demons won't betray you.”

“Kiehl doesn’t betray me. How long have we been together?”

“Everyone dies faster than Miss does. That is betrayal.”

“….”

“That's why I don't take humans as friends.”

“Even the demons don’t like you.”

“…That's right. You got me.”

Bella struck the fact that distressed him.

“You can’t miss out on the fun of today by worrying about the next day like that.”

Then, Jenkins smiled.

“Miss is more optimistic than she looks.”

“…Am I?"

“I can’t do that. It was hard to see me not aging alone and my close friends dying of old age.”

She turned her head and patted him on the shoulder.

“It must have been hard on you.”

Although he was taken aback by the sudden consolation, Jenkins was warmly moved…

“I guess that’s why you have a dirty personality.”

Or not…

* * *

The coronation ceremony went very simply.

Bella made her first public appearance in an extravagant dress. Amidst the cheers of the people, the Emperor, whom she had only spoken to a few times, asked her.

“Lady Bellatrice Cruel, for the sake of the Empire…”

After the officiating speech, the Emperor handed the crown to Kiehl. Kiehl stood in front of Bella with the appearance of a more noble prince than ever before. He gave one wistful laugh and slowly placed the jeweled crown on her head.

“I’m sorry, Bella. I wanted to make it a little more romantic.”

“That’s okay.”

It was really nice. The male lead in front of her was pretty and cute, but he was so handsome and cool sometimes. That was okay.

“Can I… kiss you?”

Bella replied with a bright smile and slowly closed her eyes. The closer his breath came, the louder the crowd's cheers grew like thunder.

At that moment, Jenkins' words kept coming to mind. Someday the twins, Rosanne and Shuria as well…

…And Kiehl, who kissed her softly.

— Everyone dies faster than Miss does

The only point in the novel where it was possible to get out had passed. She didn’t expect to be able to go back to the original story now.

‘…What can I do? I have to accept it.'

Was she afraid of the karma caused by greed? Life was short, and youth was but a fleeting moment.

As their lips briefly touched and fell, she moved closer and kissed him once more.

* * *

The summer festival began in earnest around the coronation ceremony. A lot of people on the street make up all sorts of stories about the kiss between the two at noon while the children imitate the two and play house.

And in Bella's room, people were gathering and having a heated discussion.

At first…

“I think Miss will almost eat the Young Master.”

Although she did not want anyone to respond to Iwer.

“Since Miss is older, won’t she lead very well?”

The more she listened to it…

“I think the Young Master is just pretending to be shy.”

…It made her want to protest.

“Well, I think the Demon King would be the shy one.”

Rio had occasionally seen Bella in Kiehl's room, hastily transforming into a cat when Kiehl got close or raised his hand.

Their discussion, which began like that, soon became heated. They were so focused that they didn't even know that Bella had entered, and they were running their imaginations among themselves.

“She would be tying him up so he can’t escape with the holy sword.”

“I think it’s okay…? Like a restraint play!”

Besides, even the shy Rosanne joined in and said with a blushing face.

“I'd rather think that Lady Bella… would be active?”

“I can’t imagine Kiehl being tied up anywhere.”

“I can imagine. We were kidnapped together when we were young!”

Bella lost her words.

“How about one of the demons with the determination to die to go spy and vividly convey it to us?”

“Pur will do it! Even when Pur was in the demon realm, I spied well!”

“Huh… where should you wait?”

Bella quietly stepped back and shut the door silently.

‘Crazy guys…’

When she refused to enter her room, the guard at the door asked curiously.

“…Aren't you going in?"

“I have something else to look at.”

“Aren’t you waiting… for the Crown Prince?”

Today was officially the first night. Naturally thinking that the Crown Prince would come to his wife’s place, the guards asked with a blush.

“…Then, I shouldn’t stay here all the more.”

She had nowhere to go, so Bella headed to Kiehl's room. The guards guarding his room were startled as soon as they saw Bella.

“Ah… Crown Princess. His Highness Kiehl hasn't come yet.”

“I know. I will wait inside.”

“N, no. Please wait at Lady Bella's residence.”

“I’m here because I have something to do, so open the door.”

“I can't let you in because there's no one inside.”

Seeing them like this, she wanted to sneak in as a cat.

“Am I not officially the Crown Princess from today? Get out of the way.”

At those words, the guards blushed before stopping her.

“It's the first night, His Highness… will go to Lady Bella.”

“It’s not that kind of matter. I'll wait inside.”

“Then, you have to wait here.”

Bella patted the guard on the shoulder as she pondered.

“Let me in, as I have to spend a special first night.”

“…What?”

Saying so, she slightly lowered the arm of the dress she was wearing.

“Should I wait here naked?”

The two guards' faces turned red, and they soon opened the door.

‘How innocent.'

Bella hid a mocking laugh as she entered Kiehl's room. It was the first time she had ever been in the room without him. Casually lay down on the couch, she yawned.

“Anyway, it seems everyone went around as a group.”

Of course, it was something curious and expected though Bella had no heart to meet their expectations.

‘Once we do it, we’ll become companions.'

There had never been a single case in the history of the Demon Realm where a half-demon or human became a companion… so she didn't want to rush into things. Bella didn’t want to do something that would completely change the rest of Kiehl's life because she loved him very much.

‘Still, Kiehl has to choose.'

It hadn't happened yet, but she wanted to let him know how dangerous it was if he wanted to and tell him to choose carefully.

She was yawning when she saw a wine from Duchy Merken from Kiehl's cupboard.

‘Hmm… I'm craving alcohol.’

He wouldn’t get angry because she drank secretly on a day like today.

‘Where did he hide the opener…?’'

It seemed that he hid it, telling her not to drink while working. So, Bella sifted through Kiehl's desk with wine in hand.

“Pfft.”

Soon, she saw a storage cabinet similar to the one that Lady Shuria had given her a while ago. When she pressed the back of the cabinet with any pen she could see, a hidden space popped out next to it with a click.

There was no wine opener, only documents.

“This…”
