Chapter 64 Party Animals are Here (2/2)
Demian still could not relax his face. His distorted eyes wriggled. She meant to say not to be too sad or angry and to live happily ever after even if she had died. Lara left the window and approached him. Then, she reached out her fingers and slowly rubbed between his eyebrows and forehead.
“I’m always wondering why you always have such a scary face. This part is too tight. You look scary when you laugh and I think you will also look scary when you cry.”
“I was just born like this.”
“Don’t lie. Where in the world would a baby be born with such a scary face? You have lived on the battlefield for too long that your face has hardened.”
Lara stayed like that until his expression had softened. Despite living recklessly, his skin was smooth. Even his eyebrows were even. Needless to say, his sharp nose and red lips were beautiful.
“Demian.”
“What?”
“Smile.”
Though she said that, she did not think he would smile. As Lara had expected, Demian raised his head and looked at her with a frown.
Lara said to him.
“Demian.”
“What?”
“Promise me that you will tell me if, one day, you have any desires to be fulfilled.”
Demian stayed silent.
“Something that you want to have, somewhere that you want to go, something that you want to do, or someone that you want to meet… Anything is fine.”
She would make it happen. For him to be happy.
Every time Lara made eye contact with him, she was distressed by the image of the ruined Demian. Demian’s eyebrows, which had been twisted and wriggling, had now been straightened out. Lara felt it with her fingertips, not her eyes. After being lost in her thoughts, she came to her senses and made eye contact with him again.
Demian smiled slightly.
“Demian?”
A fierce smile as ever. But he did not look as angry as he used to be. He entangled Lara’s hand with his own. Then, he told her.
“Fool.”
“What?”
“If I have something that I want, will you make it happen? Since you’re a saintess, will you do anything for me even if you have to bother God?”
“I won’t be able to bother God though.”

“Fool.”
Demian kept calling Lara a fool.
“If it’s true that the demon wants the saintess, then I will be their opposer.”
“Demian!”
“I don’t want to be the same as I was in the past that you had told me… But I won’t leave you no matter what. Because I have to protect you and fight for you.”
“That’s not what I meant.”
“Desire?”
Demian smirked again. His face that had been stretched out was dangerously distorted.
“Do you know what happens when a man who has never felt desire in all his life, wants someone for the first time?”
His hand was hot. She felt a stabbing pain in her chest.
“He becomes a madman.”
“So… what do you want?”
“A woman.”
Now, moving away from her fingertips, the rising temperature had moved to her abdominal area. Lara held Demian’s hand and slowly opened her mouth.
“What kind of woman?”
“Fool.”
He drove a wedge in.
Lara shared the fact that Demian had been investigating with Isadora and Sonnet.
Since Sonnet was still young, it was the nobles who mostly consulted with Lara. As they were so close to the Princess that she had called them her masters. They could not repress their astonishment when they heard that Prince Sidhar had ordered the black sorcerers to attack the banquet. They said that it was treason, should it be true, and that they needed to gather evidence.
Unfortunately, the banquet could not be canceled. However, they could not just sit helplessly and suffer without doing anything, and so this banquet would be a golden opportunity for them to capture the villain and get their hands on decisive evidence.
It was an operation that could kill someone if they failed. However, Sonnet strongly agreed more than anyone else, so the preparations went smoothly.
It was like walking on thin ice. On the surface of the water, people who were delighted with the arrival of the saintess kept talking about the peace of Hautean, and below the surface of the water, they put their swords into each other’s vital points.
The black sorcerers who were on board with Prince Sidhar moved secretly in Western Hautean. They were ready to attack the saintess welcoming party under the connivance of the Prince. The fake saintesses were busy preparing for the banquet, not knowing that they had been chosen as a sacrifice to get rid of the Princess. Meanwhile, Hautean’s most expensive dress fabrics and accessories continued to enter the temple.
Princess Sonnet had also secretly gathered her power. Among them, there was the Grand Chamberlain of the royal family, as well as the long-time guardian knights of the nobles and royal family. Of course, Thousand Gold Isadora was also with her.
