The Demon's Bride

Chapter 755 - Goodbye-II

She held her hands together. She had made up her mind. Dalton was the love of her life but it didn't change the fact that Beelzebub had saved her life. ;

"I do not," Venervy clenched her hands as she spoke and thought she had spoke without any hesitation, Beelzebub didn't miss her upset face.

"It would have been convincing if you had not showed the expression you have now," Beelzebub responded, startling her.

Venervy knew that it was useless for her to lie to Beelzebub. It was in his blood to differentiate lies and truth and she wasn't one who was good at lying. "I do love him but I had made an oath. I do not want to break an oath that I made and uttered with my blood."

Beelzebub hummed, not surprised as he had predicted this. He could have chose to respect Venervy's decision and he would have done so if he wasn't aware of the heartache that Venervy would feel to leave Dalton with regret.

When he was in her position, he recalled the deep anguish of leaving Esther away. He didn't want that to happen to others, including Venervy who felt like a sister to him.

Beelzebub raised his hand and placed it over Venervy's head, softening his grin, "I am not a heartless being who wouldn't listen to your request. You said you made an oath with blood to swear your loyalty to me but I had never accepted it. There is still chance for you to chase the person you love, Veve."

Venervy who was startled stared at Beelzebub blankly, "You didn't accept the oath? Why?"

"Because you don't belong here in Hell. You don't belong to me and I do not own you. You are a being of your own and I know the chance for you to leave my side for happiness is high," Beelzebub pulled his hand away then, "I see you as my sister and I even thought in the past if having a sister would feel like this."

"Lord Beelzebub…"

"Don't look at me like that," Beelzebub grinned, "I know I am such a benevolent person."

Tears dripped from the corners of Venervy's eyes as she uncover the concern Beelzebub had for her was more than a master and a servant.

"Thank you," she whispered over and over again, having Beelzebub's smile to become wider.

"Then I will ask you again, Venervy. Do you love Dalton?" Beelzebub watched the younger woman nodding her head as she tried to stop her tears. He continued, "And would you like to follow him to the mortal world?"

Venervy nodded her head again, this time more vigorously.

"Good," Beelzebub uttered. "Now go. Pack your things, tell your feeling to that human. Don't even concern yourself about him rejecting your confession. All I can tell from watching you two is that he cared for you more than simply a stranger."

Venervy spent no more word as she rose from her seat and rushed outside the door. Before she left, she looked at Beelzebub and curtsied for a longer time in sincerity before leaving to find for Dalton.

From the second floor, Beelzebub watched Venervy rushing to Dalton, whispering a few words, and watching how both of the couple's expression filled with happiness. Venervy cried a little as Dalton had positively replied to her confession. ;

A pair of hands circled around his neck and Beelzebub turned his face to see the wide smile on Esther's lips. "You did great."

"Well," Beelzebub chuckled, "I should say that while I still love breaking bones of those stupid demons, I don't dislike this joy of being thanked by others."

"It would be lonely here soon," Esther whispered. She wondered if Beelzebub would feel lonely as well with the decrease amount of people in the castle when her wrist was suddenly pulled.

Beelzebub settled his hand on her shoulder and pushed her down to the nearby couch, "Soon enough, I am sure it would be lively."

Esther shuddered when his fingers trained on her waist, "How?" She questioned, trying to fix her shuddered breaths. ;

Beelzebub's grin widened and Esther felt that she had wrongfully asked the question. "With the laughter of our children."

'After the fall of the darkest hours for each and everyone, peace have came back to our family. Whenever I think of the past, I would always marveled with how I have progressed and I cannot state how happy I am that I have made it this far. But I had never forgot how it would never happened if it wasn't because of him— my husband. I can never forget how grateful I am to you and words can't express those gratitude.

I would love to meet you in person soon, Lady Lucy. May God bless you and protect you where you are.'

Elise stared at her letter before neatly folding it to the envelope. She walked down the staircase once she had left her room. Seeing Ian, her smile widened. The moon had appeared to the sky and while it was time for most people to fall asleep, it was not rare for them to stay awake all the time during midnight.

"You prepared everything?" Ian questioned to her, his smile was brimmed with eagerness.

"Yes and the letter to Lady Lucy. What about Aleks and Declan?" Elise looked around her. Her precious little son who would already be all over her was no where to be found.

"They are both with the only two people who could contain their mischief, their grandfathers," his eyes then fell over her envelope that she held tightly between her hands. "And that is?"

"For Lady Lucy. I had so many things that I wish to talk with her but I doubt the time would be enough therefore I poured all my words into this letter. I hope it can accompany her as well when she's in Heaven."

Ian took the letter from her hand and kissed the side of her cheeks gleefully, "I am sure she would love this."

Ian made his way to the window and leaned at the edge of the window's frame, "Are you ready?"

Elise's blue eyes stared at his large hands that always warmly pulled her into his embrace, saving her from all danger, and comforted her. She took his hands, remembering the first time she had touched his hand and felt butterflies all over her stomach. It didn't change now. Her heartbeat would always beat aloud near him and never was there a day without her heart fluttered from his action of words. ;

"I'm always ready," Elise responded while wrapping her hand into his large hands, holding him tightly.

The wind felt warm to them as Ian pulled her into his embrace, carrying her like the queen she was to his heart before letting his might black wings to spread on his back.

"My love," Ian couldn't help to whisper as he stared to her lovely face. "As beautiful as always."

"And you are as handsome as always," Elise returned with a grin. She watched his wings moving as they left the railing, soaring to the sky. She hugged him closer, pressing her ears to listen to his heartbeat. ;

Even as centuries passed by, in both Heaven and Hell— a story was passed through generations.

It was the story of a pure and selfless love between a couple who could sacrifice their own life for the other without fear, without greed, and only love.

Many had asked, what happened to them after?

No one had a response for it as the couple's name was never revealed but those who knew, know how they continued to stay together for eternity, living a life filled with endless love for each other in their small castle in the mortal world.
