Liu Lang yelled at Mark as if he had been provoked.
Before Liu Lang could even start cursing, Mark gave Liu Lang and Xiao Dai a very formal knight's salute.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry to hear your conversation, but I will explain it clearly."
Before this, I really wanted to know about Verania...
If you know her, you will know that she was labeled a heretic back then. I was seriously injured at the time, and when I returned, I found out about this. Before I could come to her rescue, the Netherworld Demons invaded the execution ground. Afterwards, I couldn't find any news about Verania.
I really want to say to her... I'm sorry...
Because Mark had promised Villania's brother Alex that he would protect his sister.
Even after Alex, having become a demon, personally transformed the entire Holy Cross Knights into the Netherworld Knights, he did not forget this promise.
Mark and the demonized Alex both knew this.
If that battle hadn't ended, they would have continued fighting until one side was completely dead.
As it turned out, they failed, and Mark, who should have been transformed by the underworld, was banished by Alex himself.
Even after being corrupted by demonic energy... does he still remember his best friend named Mark?
Alex...
"She's doing well, better than I expected... Most importantly, she's happy now."
Xiao Dai paused for a moment, then finally spoke to Mark.
"Yeah?"
Mark's expression darkened; in fact, he had noticed the demonic energy on Xiao Dai's soul ever since he came in.
And that demonic aura... was so similar to that of the saintess Verania.
It turns out that the Netherworld Clan's hijacking of the execution ground back then was not a coincidence...
Alex...did you really push your sister into the demon realm with your own hands?
Mark, looking dejected, sat down on a chair and silently took out a pipe and started smoking.
"Damn it! Is this your room? You're smoking indoors, you idiot!"
(▼へ▼メ)”
Liu Lang had a fierce expression on his face, while Xiao Dai, who was standing next to him, suddenly realized something and quickly explained to Mark.
"It wasn't him! Alex didn't turn his sister into a Netherworld Demon with his own hands. Do you remember the demonic markings on her body?"
If Alex hadn't been helping to suppress the demonic runes, she would have become a demon long ago.
"But what about the demonic energy in your soul?"
If Verania were alright... there wouldn't be such demonic energy present...
"This...this...Brother Liu Lang!"
Xiao Dai didn't know how to explain it for a while, but with Liu Lang's help, she managed to explain the situation in Aurora City in the Northern Region of the Dragon Kingdom.
They thought Mark would yell at Cen Zhuoqun, but to their surprise, he took a second puff of his cigarette.
"Smack!"
Mark, who hadn't finished smoking, turned his head in confusion, only to find his hands empty. He then noticed the pipe that Liu Lang had snatched away.
"Speak! Stop fucking slapping me!"
Liu Lang looked at him with dead fish eyes and said.
What can I say? It's all...fate...
In the Empire, she was labeled a heretic, and in your Dragon Kingdom, she became a victim in the struggle between humans and demons.
Perhaps, as a human being, her life would have been filled with such misfortune, even though she survived this time... I... can only feel sorry for her..."
Mark was somewhat disappointed. Although he had long since abandoned his knightly beliefs, he was now filled with confusion after learning that Verania had also become a demon like Alex. He didn't know what to say and could only silently smoke his pipe.
"Hey! If you're going to be this down, blond guy, I'm going to have to interrupt you."
The man standing before you now, Dai Shanren, also known as Xiao Dai, is Villania's boyfriend! And I also have good news for you: Alex and Villania have both regained their human consciousness.
If you really want to see them, just ask Xiao Dai.
Xiao Dai immediately realized what was happening and quickly echoed the sentiment, revealing the Netherworld Demon King's mark behind him to Mark.
"It's Alex's scent!"
...
No... there's a difference between humans and demons. Since they're both alright, I should let it go too..."
After hearing Liu Lang's words, Mark was clearly tempted, but he ultimately suppressed his desire and did not say anything more.
"Since you're Verania's friends, then you're my friends too. You can stay in this room as long as you want, but don't come looking for me if you need anything. I'm retired now..."
Mark paused for a moment, then very quickly took the pipe from Liu Lang's hand.
"He's just an ordinary old smoker..."
After saying that, Mark climbed out the window.
Xiao Dai had seen the spirited Knight Mark in his memories, so seeing this scene made him feel somewhat sad.
Even Liu Lang rushed to the window in great excitement.
"Mark, you son of a bitch!!! Eavesdropping and then running away, that was fucking thrilling!"
