One month later.

Royal Palace, the night before the coronation ceremony.

Sitting on the chair, Jem curiously asked Ciel, who was sitting next to him: "Has there been any research results on that thing?"

Since killing Kalra a month ago, Jim Watts and Safi have divided each other's body equally on behalf of the two forces.

In this regard, Safi thought that Jem Watts was interested in the power of the devil, so she warned him many times, telling him not to be tempted by the things in front of him, fearing that he would be contaminated by the power of the devil.

There is no shortage of similar things in history!

After destroying the evil, the brave man was attracted by the opponent's power and became a new evil.

James Watts could only reluctantly express that he actually used the demon's corpse as a magic material, and did not mean to study demon power.

Regardless of whether the other party believes this statement or not, he himself believes it.

Then, he changed hands and handed over Karla's half of the body to Ciel for him to study.

Facing his inquiry at this moment, Ciel showed a smile and replied: "After a month of research, I found that the body structure of demons is completely different from the creatures in this world. They are more like energy creatures than flesh and blood creatures.

Every drop of blood is highly corrosive, and any creature that comes into contact with it may be attacked, ranging from being injured to being directly demonized or killed."

Hearing this, he found that Charles's words were missing. Jem thought that he was showing off, so he asked: "Um...then what?"

Still smiling awkwardly but politely, Charles shook his head with a smile and said: "Then it disappeared. The rest haven't been studied yet..."

Jem was shocked: "These are your results in a month??"

Although he had known for a long time that he might not be able to get anything out of his research, Ciel's performance was still a bit too rewarding.

What he said is recorded in the history books. Do you need him to repeat it again?

Looking at the other party's expression of being fooled, Ciel could only wave his hands helplessly, and was forced to tell the truth: "I am just a magician. If you ask me to study spells, I can still think of a way, but you let me

If I engage in biological research, it is indeed outside the scope of my field."

Jim was a little speechless and could only sigh: "...It seems to be the same reason. In this case, then just use the corpse to make a magic prop. It is better than letting you waste it."

However, Charles hurriedly shook his head and said: "There is no need to do that for the time being. I have already contacted a scholar who specializes in studying extraordinary creatures. Maybe he can study something."

When Jem heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, he became interested, and asked: "Is that person reliable?"

"Although that person is very capable, he has an extremely withdrawn personality. He is the kind of person who is devoted to studying knowledge. I was able to have friendship with him because of some old things. Even I was a little surprised to successfully invite him here, so it should be

No problem."

He nodded with satisfaction. If Ciel could describe him as having strong abilities, then the other party had some abilities that could make people recognize him.

So Jem said: "If that's the case, then let's do it that way."

Looking at Jim who had already made his decision, Charles said nonchalantly: "Okay. But I feel that Orshiga doesn't seem to care about these things at all, and has never paid attention to our behavior. Even the devil came to the king.

He didn't care at all about all these things. Even when I met him last time, I deliberately told him that we had exterminated a demon to test his reaction, but his expression didn't even change."

"I can't understand his indifferent attitude. No matter who he is, he has his own needs."

Touching his chin, Jim said with a very puzzled look: "I never saw clearly what Orshiga was pursuing. Although he longed for souls and had the ability to plunder,

He has been staying peacefully, but what is the reason that is suppressing him? I think that when we find out the reason, we will be out of his control..."

"Maybe."

On the point of breaking away from Orshiga's control, he and Jim's positions were completely consistent.

Even if I try to change my ways now, my past pride still won’t allow me to be pinched by others.

After shaking his head to get rid of those messy things, he picked up the wine glass in front of him and said with a smile: "Speaking of which, you are going to be crowned tomorrow, so let me toast you in advance."

"grateful!"

Jim raised his glass and shouted back.

------

In the spotlight.

With a group of soldiers wearing gorgeous armor.

Walking through the streets surrounded by people holding flowers and flags, I stood in front of the palace gate.

Looking at the statue of his ancestors standing there, Jim Watts knelt down on one knee and closed his eyes solemnly.

"I, Jim Watts, will inherit the glory of the Watts family, follow the ancient tradition, lead the country, and protect my subjects!"

"No matter any difficulty, I will not be able to bow my head. I will continue to pass on the glory and let the flag of Marton stand in this land forever!"

"May the world protect us!"

Along with his oath.

A man, a woman, and two young children in gorgeous clothes, one carrying a crown and the other carrying a scepter, walked up to him.

Put the crown on Jim Watts' head and hand the scepter to his hand.

And Jim Watts also opened his eyes at this moment.

He stood up, turned his head, and looked at the subjects who were holding their breath and looking at him.

He held up his scepter with a solemn expression: "I, Jim Watts, your king, will inherit all the glory of the past and bring the Principality of Marton to its peak!"

Cheers sounded at this moment, and countless flowers and fireworks scattered from the sky!

From their joy, Jim Watts seemed to really feel that the people's expectations turned into weight and weighed on him.

His mentality couldn't help but undergo some changes...

--------

More than a year later.

The sun in the sky is at its peak at this time.

Since Jem succeeded to the throne, the national power of the Principality of Marton has been growing day by day, and even the royal capital has become much more prosperous than before, just like the star above it that is at its peak.

Sitting on a chair in the study, Orshika calmly took the tea from Trina's hand, her nose twitched slightly, sniffing the fragrance, and praised as before: "Very good tea art.

"

Looking at the person in front of him who looked smiling as always, but his heart was still beating a little faster involuntarily. With a smile on his face, Orshiga took a few sips of tea, and then commented while holding the teacup.

: "It's still that familiar smell."

Telina smiled reluctantly and said: "...I hope you like it."

After smiling nonchalantly, Orshika stretched out a hand and touched her cheek, feeling her body trembling slightly.

Between his brows, for the first time in his life, there was a look of pity: "It's such a pity. I really like you. Maybe it can't be called love, but you are indeed my favorite so far. I sincerely think

Take you with me."

"Perhaps this is the nature of creatures longing for companions..."

"Obviously I am a devil, I shouldn't have such emotions..."

Taking a gentle breath, the hypocritical smile on Telina's face faded, she looked directly into Orshiga's eyes and asked: "Why did you take the initiative to tell me the truth in the first place? You can obviously lie to me, if you keep

If you choose to lie to me, maybe I will always be lied to by you?"

After hearing this question, Orshiga thought about it and said with a smile: "Although I am a devil, I don't like lying very much, especially to important people, so I chose to tell you the truth directly.

.”

After listening to Orshika's words, Telina's face burst into an unprecedented smile.

Kissing him gently on the corner of the mouth: "Sir, thank you for your love!"

Feeling the fleeting tenderness, Orshika was stunned for a moment before smiling and saying: "Goodbye, Trina."

The next moment, a trace of scarlet light flashed, Telina's heartbeat stopped completely, and she fell towards Orshika with a smile on her face.

However, before his body came into contact with him, he turned into countless invisible particles and completely disappeared from this world.

Slowly retracting the hand that was stroking Trina's cheek just now, Orshiga sat on the chair, the smile on her face had completely disappeared, and her expression looked a little dull while holding the teacup in her hands.

He is a devil, so he should be used to betrayal.

Since he didn't want to leave, why would he take action directly?

Is it because she is so important that she cannot be forgiven?

He was confused about what was going on in his mind.

Soon after, there were bursts of hurried footsteps outside the door. James Watts, wearing armor, opened the door and walked in with a group of people.

Jim Watts, Duke, Ciel, Safi, and some other people who, although I can’t name them, are very capable.

In addition, there were thousands of people fully armed and equipped with exorcism tools standing at the door, and they had already surrounded the entire room.

Seeing Orshiga who had no reaction in front of him and didn't even look at himself and the others, Jim Watts showed a fleeting surprise on his face before he said solemnly: "Devil, today is yours.

Death date!"

After hearing what the other party said, Orshiga slowly looked at Jim.
