The twilight is slowly fading away.

Normally, I would have relaxed and enjoyed the scenery with a mojito or something, but unfortunately, my current situation doesn’t allow me that much time.

“Tiger Prisoner Oscar Lucifer and-!”

The commander of the Demon King’s army solemnly shouts. It is a huge shout that echoes throughout the square.

That guy didn’t even dare to make eye contact with me until four months ago, but he’s grown up a lot.

“Execute the death penalty of Saint Mary-!”

In the open space of the continent, a blessed land where life blooms.

I climbed onto the guillotine together with a saint from the Holy Church.

Eternal death approaches. If that sharp blade, which is clearly visible just by raising my head upward, falls, my head will be cut off.

A sigh and a smile leaked out. He was made the second-in-command of the Demon King’s army and then executed by the Demon King. It’s a funny joke that makes you laugh.

The long war between the Demon World and the Continent, I was a leading figure in it. Since I was born as a demon, the place where I stood was the Demon King’s Army.

To be honest, I just liked evil. The infinitely free virtue of a villain captivated me.

It was fun to color the world with madness and chaos.

This is why people’s screams were used as work songs and played on stage across all continents.

It plunged the Continental Army into chaos and disintegrated the empire. He beheaded the Dragon Lord, burned the world tree of the elves, and massacred the arrogant humans.

Afterwards, in recognition of his achievements, he was given the title of Grand Duke of the Northern Demon World and the nickname Joker. Until then, I thought the rest of my life would be smooth… .

The Demon King’s army was not defeated. After the Emperor of the Empire was assassinated, the Continental Allied Forces collapsed. The problem was the devil standing behind me.

The devil, drunk with power, wanted to kick me out in order to monopolize power. However, I had already become the mainstay of the Demon King’s army, and the Demon King, who lacked justification, falsely accused me of treason.

Afterwards, I had a confrontation with the devil… If you look at the tail now, you can see that I lost. We fought evenly for about 30 minutes, but after an hour, we were clearly behind. You damn demon bastard. It is not for nothing that he is called the strongest demon king of all time.

Anyway, after becoming a prisoner, I was locked up in the world’s worst prison. Even on the lowest floor, where I was the only inmate. When he was in prison for a whopping 104 days… A new person came in.

Saint Mary. Lying next to me right now is the most sacred and noble human being on the continent.

He is a person who is the polar opposite of me. If I was the main force of the Demon King’s army, the Saint was the hope of the Continental Army. Although the Demon King’s army won the war and he became a death row inmate.

“I was afraid that I would have to walk alone on the long, dark road to the underworld, but I’m glad you were there.”

“At the same time, the only person who could treat the beheading being cut off in such a grand way would be a saint.”

“That’s too much praise.”

I met the saint a week ago. In other words, we’ve only been together for a week. The fact that we became close enough to exchange silly jokes after only seven days was probably due to her undiscriminating love.

When we first met, the saintess assured me that she would embrace and love even me, a demon. I distrusted that statement.

I thought it was just a lie. In addition, I had no doubt that if I treated him even a little harshly, he would soon get tired of it and give up.

But, no. The saint, who came a week before the execution ceremony, generously showed me her faith and love for seven days, and I completely received the love she gave me. This is why we, standing on opposite poles, were able to become friends.

“Oh, it’s falling.”

Now that I’m about to die, it doesn’t mean anything.

Clap!

The blade of the guillotine falls sharply. Towards the saint next to me and my neck. In front of the entire continent and the Demon King’s army. If that thing closes, my miserable life will fall too.

Slurp-!

The sharp blue blade touched my neck. A cold chill ran down my spine.

I’m dying like this.

To a demon who lived a life that was quite thrilling.

Born as the third son of the Duke of the Northern Demon World, the final battle is for the demons who will face the guillotine in the plaza.

Finally, there comes an end.

*****

“… … Hmm?”

Definitely should have been filmed.

“Oscar, where does it hurt? You’re sweating profusely.”

An unknown eraser erased the life I lived.

As if to write something new from now on. Don’t leave behind any foolish regrets or stains.
