“Is that so…?”

No more words were needed.

Marian closed her eyes, and Cecilia’s gaze slowly lowered as she met her eyes.

After passing the softly curved nose, the place where it stopped was Marian’s moist lips.

Marian swallowed dryly, as if she had noticed the gaze.

Cecilia slowly narrowed the distance as if she had been waiting. Looking at the pretty eyelashes fluttering, I stroked Marian’s white cheeks.

As if sending a signal. Soon, their lips overlapped.

As soon as his soft lips touched mine, my body trembled.

Then Cecilia hugged him even tighter and kissed him deeply.

The sensation was so strong that I couldn’t think of anything other than the kiss, and my mind was instantly paralyzed.

Cecilia supported Marian, who let out a hot breath as the long kiss ended, over and over again.

“Are you okay?”

Marian looked at Cecilia, who was holding her in her familiar embrace.

To the subject who had just kissed me so intensely that it took my breath away.

Now, I feel like the worried gaze is disgusting.

‘It’s lovely.’

A thought that occurred to me without thinking made me chuckle.

“Let’s go.”

“Uh… Huh?”

Cecilia thought she might get scolded, but when she saw Marian smiling prettily, Cecilia stupidly answered.

“Are you not going to do this anymore?”

Marian said calmly. Red cheeks and slightly turned head. The breath I felt just before was warm and sweet.

“Ah… no!”

Cecilia answered urgently. The way he was shaking his head looked like an excited puppy.

An appearance that would surprise anyone who knows her on a daily basis.

It was natural for Marian, who was looking at her cutely, to meet Cecilia’s gaze.

Marian smiled mischievously, kissed Cecilia briefly on the cheek, and whispered.

“If you don’t hurry, I have to go to work.”

But she couldn’t finish her sentence.

Cecilia. Because he covered her mouth.

The kiss continued, even more intense than before.

“Ha…”

Marian came to her senses when the deep kiss ended and Cecilia, who had supported Marian’s body, laid her on the bed.

“I’m sorry. Me again. Should I just sleep?”

“No.”

sudden. Marian pushed Cecilia and climbed on top of her.

“Now it’s my turn.”

Their hot night has begun.

*

“I feel drowsy today.”

Aren’t there especially days like that? I feel sleepy and want to roll around in the blanket some more.

“But if I rest today, my workload will increase tomorrow.”

The moment Marian blinked and tried to get up.

Suddenly, the door opened.

“Your Majesty. Today’s schedule is…”

At that moment, Elaine came in to wake her up.

“Ah. Would you like to sleep a little longer?”

“It’s okay. I woke up.”

Marian, seeing Elaine trying to cancel the schedule with a nonchalant expression, shook her head.

‘I wonder if people around me treat me with such pampering that it gives me strength even when I’m having a hard time.’

When Elaine gestured, the maids came rushing in.

“What color would you like today?”

“How about adding a shawl to this white dress?”

“How about this pink cardigan? I think it would go well with the spring flowers blooming in the flower garden.”

They began to whisper in front of all kinds of fancy jewelry and dresses.

“Wouldn’t that be a bit different?”

The thin but vivid pink cardigan was as beautiful as cherry blossoms soaked in sunlight. Everyone who was chatting happily asked curiously at the answer of the maid, who had expected them to agree.

“Why?”

“If your Majesty does that, some people might mistake you for a fairy!”

Even at the absurd pun, cackling and laughter rang out.

“Your Majesty. your majesty. Lady?”

Elaine poked Marian’s cheek as she turned her head, pretending not to hear.

“Uh… Huh?”

Marian, who met the kind green eyes, answered awkwardly.

‘As soon as I open my eyes, I can’t believe it…’

No matter how many times you listen to it, you can’t get used to that kind of introduction…

However, the maids know that they are taking their work seriously.

“Your Majesty. Let me help you.”

In their own way, they say, ‘Serious?’ After finishing the meeting, the maids approached.

As Marian expected, the maids dressed her up with great care, even though she was beautiful no matter what she wore.

smell.

The faint passing cigarette smoke and exhaust, which can never be said to be good, and the exhaust sound of the car that lets you know where the source is.

The sounds of people passing by and the music flowing from the department store.

Even if I closed my eyes and opened them, nothing changed.

“It’s true.”

It was a day like usual.

After finishing work and before going to bed.

A voice was heard.

-Ah~ I’m bored! How long should I just stare at the wall?

It’s like a child whining.

“Who?”

The response came back immediately to my thoughtless reply.

-omg?! I can hear!? Did you really hear me? Can you hear me?! yes? You must have answered because you could hear it!?

A child’s unique, friendly voice echoed in my head like rapid fire.

A moment when I tried to ignore it because I had a premonition that it would somehow be bothersome.

-You know the mountain behind it, right? When you get there, there will be a sign.

All the uncomfortable places in the imperial palace have already been moved out.

There is a place in the imperial palace that I don’t know about…

I was surprised when I first heard the explanation.

There was such a place behind the imperial palace…

If it weren’t for the black and white chessboard-like floor, you wouldn’t have thought it was a temple?

“Dragon God…?”

It was a rather magnificent building, with a pitch-black dragon carved in the center.

-ah. It’s a purifier.

“Purification device?”

-huh.

The voice explained very kindly.

-How long has it been since we had a conversation like this?

There were flowers and trees around the building that were so beautifully maintained that you were impressed the moment you saw them.

-I’m bored.

What I could tell from the brief story was that the owner of the voice was unable to leave this place, so he did various jobs, including gardening, as a hobby.

Something like that.

“Why did you call me?”

-As you may have heard, I am very capable!… That’s why…

Marian tilted her head crookedly.

“Body.”

-Gruck… So… don’t you want to sign a contract?

For some reason, they kept talking.

“I don’t like it.”

-……

*

Although he was a very beautiful child, there was a reason why he was ignored.

“A grimoire?”

“Yes!”

‘Grimoire.’ The name of the grimoire I heard from Sasha.

Is this just a coincidence?

but.

“ Now that I think about it, I think it might be quite useful…”

The moment of rejection. Perhaps to ease the guard, a girl with light purple hair appeared.

“There really is no harm!”

The girl started appealing like a job seeker going through an interview. What are the benefits of signing a contract? Anyone can see that it seems like an unfair contract.

Why did you make a contract to become a slave yourself?

“The devil makes such a contract?”

“Me! I know a lot and can help with anything! Just let me stay by your side! I’m so bored to death. I’m good at magic and I’m really good at everything!”

It seemed earnest and even felt like an innocent child.

Although he said it as if it were great, anything he could do was something Marian could do as well.

“Not really, I don’t need it?”

-……

Grimoire’s answer was as if he was dealing with a random merchant, and he had a bewildered expression on his face.

Grimoire, who had been pondering the repeated words of rejection for a while, stretched out his hand.

Then, the space split and the door opened.

“This… really?”

-how is it?

The grimoire, seeing Marian looking at her curiously, spoke triumphantly.

*

The wind caresses my skin.

‘also. It’s not an illusion…’

A cold wind different from my original world.

If you look at the outfits of the people around you…

Is it just before we enter winter?

I never thought it would really be a gate leading to modern times.

“Awesome! The crepes in front of the station are so delicious!”

“Shall we go there on this cold day?”

-How on earth! Did you open the gate just by seeing it once? Even the coordinates and space of this place. A place you’ve never been to! That’s not something even God can do easily…?

It was no wonder that the grimoire was surprised. Marian did not enter the grimoire’s gate. He simply looked at the grimoire’s gate and opened it with his own magic.

What you hear is miscellaneous sounds.

The sound of people passing by and the devil calling himself. Let’s turn our heads, ignoring the whining.

At the end of my gaze, there was a name written representing a specific station.

Yes.

She was now back in Korea.

“Wow… there are such pretty people…”

“Is it a foreign model?”

I’m used to receiving attention from the beginning.

Their gaze seemed to be looking at something different from them, and the fact that they were strangers to this world.

-Here and there. Are you listening?

A whining voice that continues to echo.

“I can hear you.”

Marian answered softly.

-Then why aren’t you answering?

I don’t want to be a strange person talking alone in a place like this.

You’re already attracting attention, but are you even talking to yourself?

The grimoire looked at Marian’s expression and said indifferently.

-No, it’s because of your outfit.

It seemed difficult to speak, as if he was watching.

“Ah…”

Marian twisted her hair in embarrassment. When I held the hair down to my waist with both hands and gathered it together, it looked like a silver muffler.

‘I forgot.’

The clothing itself had a warming spell, so I didn’t feel any discomfort.

My current outfit was, at best, a dress that could only be worn in spring.

As I spun around, my skirt and sleeves fluttered.

In short, it is a light and airy dress.

However, not a single cold breeze comes through the sleeves or skirt.

The fabric is made of the highest quality silk, so it feels luxurious. If you are among people wearing thick padding and long coats.

also. No matter how you look at it, she is a woman with a strange sense of the seasons. Even if you look at it positively, it’s just a cosplay…?

“Wow. Look over there!”

“What is it…? omg. pretty. Who is it? Is it filming?”

“The Snow Queen. Are you filming something like that?”

People even stopped in their tracks and began to gather, and Marian was startled and quickly walked away.

No… what…

Why is there such a reaction after just a few light turns…?

-Shall we go back? The gate can be opened at any time.

“Not really. It doesn’t matter if I open it, just take a look.”

Anyway, since he’s a devil, you shouldn’t let down your guard.

Afterwards, on the recruitment bulletin board of K Entertainment, the most famous entertainment agency in the industry, there was a promotion saying that they were looking for the girl who danced in front of Seoul Station and that they would guarantee her immediate debut if she contacted them? A post was posted.

It’s a bit far off for her to find out.

[Backstory]

A month ago.

“I… Lilith. If you shave it off just a little…”

The grimoire that visited Lilith’s garden groveled.

That space was strange.

One year felt like 1000 years.

After bowing my head for a while, the answer came.

“Then, help that kid with his work.”

Lilith gestured, and a screen appeared. There, Marian was seen concentrating on her work.

“Yes?”

Grimoire answered foolishly.

“Be a slave.”

Lilith said coldly.

“No… no matter what… even if I look like this, I’m still a devil! I am nothing but a human slave!”

“Do it.”

Lilith’s face, which had been smiling, suddenly hardened.

“……”

Grimoire felt screwed, but there was nothing he could do. The Emperor’s Soul. The Black Dragon Purification Period was not going to end in just 10,000 years.

If the goddess in front of you leaves you untouched. It will be over in about 10,000 years.

But what if restoration is done in the middle?

If it were this god, it would definitely be like that. I don’t know what they did, but as a demon, he couldn’t even control his own sense of time, so if he were to be honest, he would have to live in that underground tunnel forever.

‘I won’t be a devil, but a land devil.’

“True. Don’t go around looking like a dull male, but make sure to go with a feminine look.”

No matter what the grimoire was thinking, Lilith continued. If the first was a recommendation, from now on it was an order.

“Yes…?”

“It may not be possible, but it would be a big deal if that child were to become possessed by you, right… I’ll accept it if it’s a female form.”

Lilith smiled and raised her hand. Ok sign with rounded fingers. Although it looked playful, Grimoire broke into a cold sweat.

“Well, what is that…”

“Hmm. How about adding ‘nyang’ to the end of the word? Master, welcome, say ‘nyan’, and again…”

Lilith bent her fingers. It was a cat’s hand.

In the end, the grimoire could not even be found. With desperate resistance, only the tone was preserved, but the rest followed Lilith’s plan.

“Good luck.”

“Yes…”

Does the grimoire know?

If Marian had ignored the grimoire’s words.

That he would really have become a land horse.

It all boils down to whether Marian will pick up the grimoire or throw it away. It was to give you a choice.
