As he was moved from Lilith’s arms and brought to Luciferia’s bedroom, Hyunseong just blinked without knowing what was going on.

Luciferia’s room, which we arrived at after passing through an ornate and magnificent hallway, was darker and quieter than expected.

A huge obsidian bed, thick curtains decorated with red velvet, and even old books filling the walls.

It had a calm, old-fashioned atmosphere, like an old study in the human world.

“Now, let’s go in.”

When the sound of the door closing was heard, Hyunseong and Luciferia were left alone in the room.

It was that moment.

As if under a spell, Luciferia’s appearance began to change noticeably.

First of all, the intimidating atmosphere disappeared. The stiff expression suddenly softened, and the sharp red eyes sparkled with pure curiosity.

It was a change as if a cold mask had been taken off.

“… Whoa… ”

Luciferia sighed softly and stroked her long silver hair.

“Finally… I’m alone.”

Even her voice had changed. The cold and majestic voice just a moment ago was gone, and only a soft, youthful voice filled the room.

“Really… I’m tired… ”

Luciferia muttered and walked over to the side of the bed and flopped down. It looks like… like…

‘… W, high school girl?’

Hyunseong opened his eyes wide without realizing it.

In the blink of an eye, her outfit changed.

Is it magic? I can’t believe your outfit changes in the blink of an eye.

Instead of a fancy dress, she was wearing a loose-fitting white T-shirt and short black shorts.

A few strands of silver hair, loosely tied around her bare feet, fell down and tickled the white nape of her neck.

‘Where is the queen from earlier…’ ‘

Hyunseong blinked several times as if he couldn’t believe the sight before his eyes.

“Huh… ”

Luciferia stretched and threw herself onto the bed.

“Of course, home is the best… ”

She muttered with a satisfied expression and buried her face in the soft pillow.

‘now… what?’

Hyeonseong just stared at Luciferia blankly, not knowing what was going on.

“Oh, that’s right!”

Suddenly Luciferia suddenly raised her upper body. Her eyes turned to the small box on the bed.

“This… I was going to show you this!”

Luciferia muttered excitedly and opened the box. The box was filled with cute character goods.

“Ta-da! how is it? Isn’t it cute?”

Luciferia proudly lifted the box and showed it to Hyeonseong. Her face was filled with a bright smile like a child.

Hyunseong was at a loss for words for a moment.

Luciferia, the absolute power that rules the demon world.

The cold and cold queen’s appearance was everywhere, and there was only the appearance of an ordinary high school girl who liked cute things.

Of course, since he is a demon, his actual age is probably several hundred years old. But the exterior still looked old.

Luciferia carefully placed the character goods in her hand on the bed.

The once sparkling eyes were suddenly shadowed.

“Fact… No one knows me like this.”

Her voice was low, but there was a deep sense of loneliness in it.

“Everyone… They only think of me as a cold and strong queen.”

She paused for a moment and looked at Hyunseong. There was a strange affection in the transparent, shining red eyes.

“It doesn’t usually show itself like this. “

“… ?”

Hyunseong tilted his head as if he couldn’t understand Luciferia’s words.

“So… ”

Luciferia took a deep breath and opened her mouth again.

“Seeing myself like this… My mother, my nanny, and… ”

She paused for a moment and looked at Hyeonseong quietly.

“… There is only you.”

Luciferia’s voice was trembling slightly.

Her expression looked somewhat dangerous, as if she had revealed a cherished secret.

Although Hyunseong could not completely understand Luciferia’s words, he could clearly feel the sadness in her voice.

‘… ‘Why are you sad?’

Hyunseong instinctively felt like comforting Luciferia. But I didn’t know what to say.

‘… Umm… ‘

After thinking about it, Hyunseong carefully approached Luciferia. And he held her hand tightly in his own.

Warm and soft to the touch.

At that moment, Luciferia’s body trembled slightly. Her eyes were wide open as if surprised, and her expression looked as innocent as a child.

“… It’s okay.”

Hyunseong spoke in the softest voice possible. Of course, to Luciferia, it just sounded like the cry of a cute animal.

“… Mya.”

Hyunseong cried briefly once again. And without letting go of Luciferia’s hand, he looked straight into her eyes.

Luciferia felt an unknown sense of security in that warm gaze.

like… As if I had been trapped in deep darkness for a long time and then received warm sunlight.

“… Thank you.”

Luciferia whispered softly.

A warm smile was suddenly spreading across her lips.

Luciferia was dazed for a moment by Hyeonseong’s touch, but then hugged him with a soft smile.

They were similar in size and fit perfectly, like lovers embracing.

Luciferia and Hyeonseong also liked that. It felt like solidarity was formed among small people in this world.

“You know, Mya.”

She spoke in a soft voice, as if she was telling a fairy tale to a child.

“I wonder how I met you?”

Hyunseong sat comfortably on Luciferia’s lap and listened to her words.

Of course, I couldn’t understand what was being said, but the comfort Luciferia’s voice gave me automatically made me feel better.

“Actually… I saw you in my dream.”

Luciferia’s red eyes wavered faintly as if she was dreaming.

“In my dream, you were… a morning star falling in the forest.”

She closed her eyes as if recalling those memories.

“The morning star shining brightly as it cut through the dark night sky… It was so beautiful, so mysterious… I couldn’t take my eyes off it.”

Luciferia paused for a moment and took a breath.

“So I asked Lilith to search the forest.”

She opened her eyes again and looked at Hyunseong.

“To be honest… I had no idea things would turn out like this.”

Luciferia smiled bitterly.

“I never thought there would be such an uproar… I never thought you would shake up the entire demon world…”

She sighed softly.

“I never thought there would be a cute ‘human’ like you.”

Luciferia lightly touched Hyunseong’s cheek with her finger.

“And… I had no idea Lilith would be this greedy for you.”

There was a subtle hint of jealousy in her voice.

“Now the entire demon world wants you. Mya.”

Luciferia looked at Hyeonseong with a serious expression.

“Everyone… will do anything to get you.”

There was no exaggeration in her words.

Hyeonseong has already become someone who receives the attention of the entire demon world. That cuteness captivated all the demons and made them go wild.

“But don’t worry.”

Luciferia smiled softly and stroked Hyunseong’s head.

“I… I will protect you.”

Her voice was quiet, but it contained strong will.

Luciferia will protect Hyeonseong no matter what.

The morning star of fate that appeared in his dream…

A precious being who made me feel warmth for the first time…

Luciferia looked at Hyeonseong and sighed deeply. I could feel Hyunseong’s warmth and soft fur, but I felt like my inner thoughts were blocked by an unknown wall.

“With you… It would be really nice if we could talk.”

Luciferia muttered quietly. To Hyunseong, it only sounded like a drowsy voice, but her heart was filled with frustration.

“You may not understand me, but… ”

Luciferia carefully held Hyunseong’s hand and looked at him.

“I know that you are ‘human’. I knew it the moment I saw you.”

She quietly looked into Hyeonseong’s red eyes. As if trying to find some answer within it.

“Your race is too weak.”

Luciferia sighed again.

“The amount of horsepower is too weak… They can’t even talk to us.”

She smiled sadly and gently stroked Hyunseong’s head.

“But… I won’t give up.”

Luciferia looked at Hyeonseong with eyes full of determination.

“I… I found someone who can help.”

“Mya… ?”

Hyunseong tilted his head at Luciferia’s words.

“He is a scholar who has been studying humans for a very long time. perhaps… Maybe I can teach you our language.”

Hope seeped into Luciferia’s voice.

“Of course… It might be hard to say, but… It might be possible to at least understand our language… ”

Her face brightened as if she was happy just thinking about it.

“The way you understand me and have a conversation with me… I’m so happy just thinking about it.”

Luciferia hugged Hyunseong tightly.

“With you… I really want to talk to you. Mya.”

Her voice was full of earnestness. Even though she knew that it was practically impossible, Luciferia did not give up hope.

My earnest wish to share my heart with Hyeonseong,

Even the absolute power of the devil’s daughter cannot do anything about it.

It was a manifestation of pure love for just one person.
