I Am The Last Villainess He Has To Kill

Chapter 28: His Bet

Chapter 28 – His Bet

While waiting for Zanbar to retrieve a coat in fear of Kiehl being cold. Iwer asked Jenkins, who was sitting next to her.

"When are you two going to reconcile?"

"What do you mean to reconcile?"

"No, you kissed him the other day, but it's not going anywhere."

“…..”

“What should I do, since I am a demon with a limited time, a year is like one day.”

Then, seeing Bella and Kiehl holding each other, they smiled strangely.

"That place is where the decision will first get made."

Jenkins turned his head to follow Iwer's gaze.

‘Someday, I will use the Young Master to invade the human world… .'

But sometimes Bella's behavior seemed to give him just too much affection to just be taking advantage of him.

“Really… when you look at her like this, she looks like a demon princess.”

In the end, because of that affection, Kiehl might dedicate the whole world to Bella when he becomes Crown Prince.

"Is she able to do that? When I look at it like that, the princess looks quite human. A very kind human."

He smirked and criticized Iwer's simple thinking.

“What are you talking about? She plans to invade this world using the Young Master!”

Then Jenkins patted his mouth with his hand.

He usually thought he had a heavy mouth, but he hated himself for making these mistakes from time to time.

‘This point, after all, means that I am half of a demon.'

It's easy to get caught if provoked, so many heroes have been able to deal with demons.

On the other hand, dream demons, who use the human mind, took a slightly different route.

"Isn't it?"

"What?"

"The young lady is genuinely kind to the master."

However, it seemed a little different for love between a man and a woman.

The two grumbled and started arguing.

"She is the most powerful person in the demon realm. You are also a demon, don't you know?"

"So the princess is like a human."

"You’re seriously thinking that?"

"Even if you see that and don’t feel it, then Jen has wasted his time in the human world."

“…..”

This was a self-esteem problem.

He’d always been hated for being half.

However, since he was half-human, it didn't feel good to dismiss the experiences of Iwer, the dream demon, as nothing.

“Would you like to make a wager?”

"Good!"

Each had no intention of losing.

Bella touched Kiehl's hair and looked into his eyes.

"Why? Is it very cold?"

The amber-colored eyes were looking at her with dazzling brilliance. Just contemplating this face seemed to bring Bella peace of mind.

“…I like it.”

At that, Bella snorted and pinched Kiehl's cheek.

How is he so cute?

"Hey, playing dumb!"

He didn't have to say anything as she pinched his cheek, but Kiehl protested.

"I'm not stupid, I really like it!"

Bella also knew that Kiehl was growing.

"Okay, yes, yes."

“…”

Even for a hundred-year-old man, his children are always young.

Even in Bella's eyes, Kiehl seemed like a child forever.

Unlike the original novel.

She recalled that in her previous life she told her sister that she didn't want to hear her affectionate nagging, saying, ‘I'm no longer a child'.

Before long, Zanbar returned with the winter coat, and they continued the hike until they reached the lake in the middle of the mountain.

"Because it's a mountain, the sun seems to set quickly."

"Let's set up the tent quickly. Come on, Jen! Zan! Set up the tent! Pur gather firewood! Iwer, get some water and cook!"

Sharing in the work, Bella was the first to light a bonfire.

"Come on, let's sit here and warm ourselves."

Seeing this, the family members of the mansion sighed and began to go to work.

"Bella, I'll pick up firewood with Pur."

"No. Your hands are cold."

Bella grabbed Kiehl's hands and blew on the overlapping grasp.

"What if I catch a cold?"

Then Zanbar, who was pitching the tent, said sarcastically.

“What am I going to do with a weak person who can’t even pick up firewood?”

"Hey. If the child catches a cold, will you be responsible?"

"Miss, the Young Master is not that weak!"

Then Kiehl hurriedly removed his hand and stood up.

"I'll bring firewood."

“You can just sit there.”

"No. It would be difficult for Pur to bring it. Because Pur is a bear…"

"Then together…"

Bella followed, and Iwer shouted from far away.

"Miss! Please break this ice!"

As she hesitated, Kiehl pushed Bella on the back and sent her to Iwer.

"It's okay."

"Uh…"

Bella continued to feel anxious.

"Kiehl, don't go too far!"

How far will he go with that foot?

Even if he gets lost, with a bear and leopard here it would be easy to find Kiehl.

‘But why am I so anxious?'

Bella lightly touched the frozen lake with her toe. Even with only a slight touch, the thin ice cracked and the water below filled up.

"Kyaa, the princess is really as expected."

"Um. I'll have to follow Kiehl."

Bella turned her back, and Jenkins sighed.

"Because Miss is overprotective."

"What?"

She stopped at the words, which suddenly hit her nerves.

Overprotective.

"Young Master is 13 years old, and he can travel alone without the Miss."

"No, what if he gets lost! It's too cold here!"

"Sometimes the Miss is too overprotective."

"Me?"

Overprotective.

Bella pointed to herself and looked at Iwer and Zanbar alternately.

"Me?"

A silence was heard as an answer of agreement.

"Think about it. What would you do if a kid like Bwen said he’ll go and pick up firewood?"

Bella couldn't speak for a moment.

She hated to admit it, but she felt bad for the example that was too stark.

"How are Bwen and Kiehl alike?"

She was just grateful for Bwen when he first brought her food, but she had been annoyed these days.

How dare they compare her favorite and that guy on the same line.

"The Miss’ excessive interest is rather poisonous to the Young Master."

"The Young Master seems to like attention more."

Bella crossed her arms in annoyance and looked at Jenkins silently.

‘He nagged me once or twice, so nagging is his hobby.’

It's not that the demons hate it because he’s a half demon, it's that they don't like it because it's Jenkins.

"So the Young Master says he likes to do things alone."

But contrary to Bella's expectations, Zanbar joined as well.

"That's right. He's a kid with more ability than he looks."

“I don’t think it’s good to raise someone too much to make him a big character.”

"Iwer, do you think so too?"

"Well. Actually, I don't think you’re overprotective, but rather a different feeling….”

As Iwer was about to add more, Jenkins threw a stone at her.

"Miss Iwer. We decided to play the game fairly, didn't we?"

"Sheesh."

It's a Jenkins and Iwer game. Bella wondered what was going on for a moment, but she soon returned to her worries.

‘Am I really like an overprotective parent?'

She sometimes saw guys like Mama’s Boys who call for their ‘Mom' when they can't cook properly as a grown adult.

Of course at the police station.

Bella feared that her overprotectiveness would somehow make Kiehl do that, she was worried.

"But somehow something ominous has arisen."

Since he is the main character in the novel, it is true that she cares more for him.

No matter how she thinks about it, it's not overprotective.

“I wonder if there are wild beasts living on this mountain?”

***

Meanwhile, further away from the tent, Kiehl was looking for Pur, who was gathering firewood.

He had been walking alone in the woods for a long time.

He used to walk aimlessly in these mountains before he returned, he was even chased and driven away.

Unlike then, he now has a warm home and food waiting for him.

He has a beautiful person who smiles no matter what he says.

He closed his eyes for a moment and recalled the warm scent that enveloped his body.

‘I really like it.'

He knew clearly that Bella thought of him as her family.

‘I wish I could just stop time.'

He sighed heavily.

‘After returning to the Imperial Palace, will Bella still be there?'

He wondered what he would do if he fell in love with someone else.

Occasionally, he felt the internal struggle between the desire to abandon his identity as the Crown Prince and stay with Bella forever and the opposing desire to meet and accept his fate.

Kiehl recalled what Bella had said a long time ago.

-“It may be hard to believe now, but one day someone from the Imperial palace will come for you.”

-"The Goddesses of Fate told me."

The Goddesses of Fate in the myth of the founding of the empire.

People think of it as just a myth passed down by word of mouth, but Kiehl was different.

Because one of the goddesses, Archmage Ordi was descended from the royal family.

– "They said I had to help you. If I make a mistake, it will change your fate."

Kiehl's hand touched his pendant, which did not contain divine power.

‘If fate has been reversed.’

Kiehl thought about the time when time had returned.

He didn't want to repeat that powerless childhood again.

At that time I…. I really thought I was going to die.'

Kiehl thought that the Goddesses of Fate were really involved, as Bella said. If it wasn't for Bella, he might have ended his life.

So now he had to move forward.

If one day he becomes a prince and the road to the emperor becomes clear.

If only I could have everything in this world under my feet.

‘Can I bring Bella back then?'

The princess marries the prince. Like the fairy tale told by Bella.

‘You have to stand upright as soon as possible.'

It was something he thought about for a long time.

If he went to the Imperial Palace again, he wouldn't be locked up like he was back then.

He won’t let a voice dare say he could not be recognized as an Imperial family member because he doesn't have magical powers.

Because he's not a young and protected little brother in front of Bella, he's got to be the one who can give her everything.

Suddenly Kiehl heard a rustling sound from behind as a large shadow swallowed his own on the ground before him.

He asked looking back.

"Pur?"

The brown hair was the first thing Kiehl saw.

The bear was a little too big to be Pur.

Kiehl was startled, but he slowly reached for the dagger at his waist.
