Chapter 12
Translator: nevermoorian
As I walked around with the idea of familiarizing myself with Black Town, there was a group that caught my eye . It was different from those who stumble under the influence of alcohol or those who walk on the street looking frivolous .
A pale man in a black suit and coat was walking in front of the group . His hair, eyes, and clothes were all in black so he was very striking . To be honest, I felt better when I saw his face .
Black eyelashes and a sleek nose that curves sharply, closed lips . A graceful stretched neck and firm-looking shoulder . Long legs that move quickly but not lightly . And even an expressionless face that feels as cold as ice .
The most handsome man I’ve seen recently was Leonhart—it’s been too long since the last time I saw my brother—but this man’s handsomeness isn’t inferior to the prince . He looks a little different from Leonhart, who’s a fresh-looking flower boy type .
“Miss Riana?”
“Oh, yes, yes!”
The charisma of the black man grabbed my attention and I lost my focus without realizing it . I only came to my senses when Teil called me .
Said Teil, who noticed where I was looking .
“That group is the demons who are in charge of this Black Town . ”
“That person is… . ?”
Behind the black haired man was a man with light-green hair and a black haired woman .
The man’s face was full of tiredness as if he had spent several nights staying awake . Even my face when I was mending my dress was better than his .
The woman was dressed in tight trousers . She seemed to have the best figure I’ve ever seen . Honestly, I was a little envious .
They stopped in front of a casino with signboard decorated with colorful lights . When the man said something to the guard in front of the door, the guard greeted him then went inside . A moment later, a man who appeared to be the caretaker jumped out .
The caretaker bowed to them 90 degrees and treated them very politely .
“Sorry, I’m sorry . I’ll correct it quickly . Hey, what are you doing? Apologize quickly!”
“I was wrong . Please forgive me just once!”
I tried not to look at them too much, but I could hear them .
From a side glance, some people were begging for forgiveness from the demons . Their faces were blue with terror .
“They’re very good, in many ways . ”
“Their authority is absolute in Black Town . ”
“What’s going on?”
“I don’t know, but they must have done something to disrupt the order here . This place isn’t within the reach of the law, but some order must be maintained so that they can manage it . ”
“I’m afraid I’m going to get distracted for nothing . Let’s go . ”

I rushed Teil after realizing I was distracted for nothing . As I tried to walk only on the main road, I could see nothing but the same sight everywhere I went . Gambling, entertainment, shops selling bizarre items, people who seem crazy… .
“Can I go into the alley?”
“… . It’s not dangerous but … you might not want to see it . ”
If it’s not dangerous, I can go in . But what is it that I don’t want to see?
I looked up and stepped toward the alley .
“… . Hiik . ”
Soon after I found the shadow of a man and a woman, I quickly covered my eyes with my hands . Why the hell … in this place… . .
Struggling to the unexpected damage and trying not to give as much attention to it as possible, I made my way into the sideways .
“Because it’s daytime, there’s not much . ”
“And at night?”
“These are even more prominent, but the bigger problem is that there are more illegal transactions and cruel crimes . You’d better not come at night . ”
I was able to witness some couples overlapping their bodies several times while walking around the alley . They didn’t seem to care much about who saw them .
As I walked, there were more and more unrepaired broken walls and I could no longer see people doing promiscuous things . It was when I came out on a broad road past a narrow alley, Teil suddenly stopped walking .
“Mr . Teil?”
Clank!
Wait, what .
Suddenly, I felt like Teil was swinging his arm to strike something, and the next moment there was a dagger in the tree next to him .
It seemed that Teil had changed its track by hitting the flying dagger .
“Kes, we got caught . ”
“That’s why I said we should wait and see, Millia . ”
A couple of man and woman showed up . I’ve never seen their faces before, but it seemed like Teil recognized them .
“Genosid … Millia… . ”
“Do you know them? I don’t think they’re very friendly to us . ”
“They belong to Marron Merchant . ”

“What?! Then why are they attacking us?”
“I don’t know—”
Once again the dagger flew in . This time it wasn’t just one . The woman seemed to be specialize in blowing a dagger . It seemed to be hard to avoid if Teil was not quite fast, as she was flying several daggers at the same time .
When we were panicked by the endless daggers—I’m the only one who panicked—the man came in using a sword .
Teil seemed distracted by the man’s attack as he struck out the flying dagger .
“Why are you attacking us for no reason! I’m just carrying out a client request . ”
“It’s not without a reason . ”
A man named Genosid glanced sideways at me who stood still .
“Is that her? The one who gave you the information on magic stone?”
“Magic stone, I don’t know what you’re talking about . ”
I almost lost my expression but Teil replied without changing his face . Maybe it was because he didn’t know I sold the magic stone information to Magnolia . Fortunately, I’ve been shaking with fear since a while ago, so even after my expression changed a little, it didn’t seem to show much .
“The Magnolia Trade have the magic stone information . I don’t think the company figured it out on its own . Didn’t somebody provide you the information?”
“Your conclusion is harsh . Even if someone provided the magic stone information, it has nothing to do with us . ”
“Ho, Kenneth Relampago’s dog is escorting else, and you don’t think it’s suspicious? How important a client she is, to the point you’re the one who escorting her? If you think about it a little, the answer is obvious . ”
“We were just short-handed . ”
“Bullshit . ”
Teil seemed to be quite powerful man, as he could afford to talk to Genosid while changing the trajectory of the dagger flying towards me .
In the conversation just now, it seems like he’s usually working as a close associate of Count Relampago, but I can’t believe someone in that position is being mobilized for this humble request… . .
Was I that important to the Magnolia Trade?
After all, they seemed to have attacked us with the idea they might be able to find out more about the magic stone . The vicious rumors about Marron’s business were flashed through my mind .
“Millia! You hold her while I tie this guy’s feet . ”
“Can you deal with him without my cover?”
“Do I look that weak?”
“Sorry, sorry . ”

The dagger was no longer flown . Instead, the woman named Millia flew away .
“… . . !”
Teil stopped Millia from rushing toward me . Blood was flowing from one of his arm . He allowed the attack because he was rushing to my side .
“You’re working in vain . ”
“Well, I’d like to hear it directly from her whether it’s in vain or not . Would you please stepped aside?”
Millia, seemingly weak at a close-range attack, had once again stepped back . Again, as before, Genosid attacked Teil and Millia supported him with dagger .
However, Teil’s injury seemed to speed up his energy consumption .
“You came to this suspicious place with a woman who gave you magic stone information . There’s something here, isn’t that right?”
“It’s not like that—”
“Are there any magic stone here?”
“I said no!”
It was then .
—Tuk .
The dagger, which was flying in the air, fell to the ground . It wasn’t just that . The sword that Teil and Genosid were holding trembled and bent .
Flustered by the suddenness, I couldn’t say a word and just watched the scene . The other three seemed surprised as well .
“Stop it . ”
I rolled my eyes and looked at the side where the sound came front, and there were the demons who had passed by stood .
At the front were three eye-catching demons, followed by fifteen or so demon soldiers pointing their weapons at us .
As it was before, the appearance of the man standing at the front and leading the soldiers continued to draw my attention . This time again, he was the most obvious figure to be seen .
However, the sword in his hand was very unusual . Black hair, black eyes, black clothes, black blade… .
… . wait . That’s… .
“Cha—”
Unconsciously, I opened my mouth and shut up in a hurry .
Demon Magic Sword Chaosblade . It’s a sword with dark power that a blacksmith from a long time ago made with all his heart and soul . It features a sword blade made of dark ore .
Not only that .
Chaosblade was a token given by the Demon King to his successor . It was an object that showed full trust in the successor, and it was a very powerful sword, so it was impossible to temporarily leave it to someone else .
Then, having a Chaosblade meant that there was no doubt he’s the heir to the throne, the Prince of the Demon world .
This man was the Demon’s Prince .
When I realized the fact, I suddenly felt as if time was passing very slowly .
The person I was most interested while reading The Story of Ramona was this man, not the male or female protagonist .
I can’t believe I’m actually facing him .
It was a monumental event, but this was not a situation to be sentimental .
I imagined a few things to come . I hope it won’t be the worst imagination .
The demon woman, who was standing beside the prince, spoke in a calm manner .
“I can’t believe this commotion has been happening in broad daylight . I can’t tolerate this . ”
The Demon’s Prince stared at us with cold eyes . I felt unknowingly atrophied by the sight of considerable pressure .
“I think I heard the word magic stone . ”
It was Teil that overcame that sense of pressure and opened his mouth first .
“I’m ashamed of myself for causing a commotion . This woman and I here for nothing to with the magic stone, but the of them misunderstood and attacked us . ”
“Is it true?”
The Prince looked alternately at Genosid and Millia . They bit their lips .
They couldn’t refute it right away . Even if they try to deny it, it’s true that they attacked us, so it was difficult to quickly think of a plausible excuse .
“… . It was just a mild problem . ”
“Why is there a magic stone story in a mild problem?”
“That’s… . ”
Gazing at Genosid and Millia, who had become honeyed chicks, the Prince turned his head toward us this time .
“You’re saying as if you’re not at fault, but I think you’re equally suspicious . Why did you come all the way to this ruin?”
This time I was in need of an answer . Teil was just guilty of following me, and here I was supposed to say something, but somehow in front of him a clumsy lie wouldn’t work .
“I won’t say much . I’m going to kick all four out of here . ”
When the Prince raised one hand and shook it lightly, the invisible shell wrapping around the entire body was released .
