The Only Ending for the Evil Count Pig Is Destruction

403 – Scene 403# Because I Love You

*

Bella blinked. The accident stopped for a moment. Because I couldn’t understand what Tristan said. All she could do was ask back.

“Now… “What did you say?”

“… “I said I was the devil.”

But it wasn’t that Bella didn’t hear well.

“You… “The devil?”

“Okay.”

“… Ah, well. Okay. But what should I do? Tristan. I’m sorry, but I don’t think it’s a joke worth telling at this time…”

“It’s not a joke.”

Bella caught her breath. Because, as he said, she was not the face of a joke. He was looking at her with his infinitely serious eyes. Nevertheless, Bella could not believe Tristan’s words her.

“… What are you talking about all of a sudden? You… It makes no sense to say that you are the devil. To begin with, the Demon King is a woman…”

“Look at this.”

Tristan took out a mirror from his chest and infused it with his magic power. Then, the magic reflected through the mirror glowed and covered Tristan’s face his. Eventually, a woman’s face emerged from the fading light. She is a villainess with black hair and obsidian eyes like Tristan…

“… Trinity?!”

“Trinity changed my face with this artifact.”

After saying that, Tristan infused magical energy into the mirror and his face returned to its original state.

“She is me and I am her.”

“Lie…”

But Bella couldn’t accept it.

She didn’t want to accept it.

“Don’t lie.”

“Bella…”

“Don’t lie to me like that…”

“…”

Tristan took a deep sigh. He relaxed his body as if he had no choice and revealed the ‘despair’ he had been suppressing all along.

“Look carefully.”

“… ?!”

Bella watched. A dark and gloomy energy faintly rising from Tristan. If I am not mistaken, the thing that makes the viewer obsessed with ‘despair’ is evidence of the devil. Of all the creatures in this world, the only one who had something like that was the Demon Lord.

Bella took a step back without realizing it. She was shocked by the unacceptable reality, as if her head had been hit hard with a hammer.

The Demon King Trinity I met during the Northern Expedition was the same person as Tristan…

“Nonsense…”

Bella’s mind she still refused to understand. I wanted to somehow deny this fact. I desperately searched for her memories. To provide evidence that Tristan is not Trinity, and to refute that he is not.

Then something came into Bella’s mind.

“For a moment… “You were next to me when Trinity came to visit, right?”

Even if you change your appearance with that mirror, two people cannot be in the same place at the same time.

“If you were Trinity, that would be impossible.”

“That…”

“It was not the Count who was next to the young lady at that time, but me.”

“Blanchet… ?”

Blanche, who had kept her mouth shut until then, opened her mouth.

“I borrowed the power of that artifact and pretended to be the Count.”

“You… ?”

“Yes…Sorry…”

Blanche could not bear to look at Bella. A fact she, Bella’s loyalist, has had to hide from Bella until now. Although it was unavoidable to avoid controversy over Tristan being the devil… She couldn’t help but feel an indescribable sense of guilt.

And Blanchet wasn’t the only one feeling her guilt. Wendy was also having a hard time saying anything.

It was only after seeing their reactions that Bella realized.

“No way… Did everyone know? “Tristan is the devil?”

“… “I’m sorry.”

Blanche bowed her head. She had no intention of hiding it from Bella forever. She said once everything was sorted out, she would tell Bella when she was ready to accept her truth.

However, Tristan revealed the secret without warning. Isn’t it too early? Blanchet wanted to blame Tristan, but…

She decided to quit.

Tristan is a cautious man. He is extremely quiet and spits harsh words, but he never says anything for which he cannot take responsibility. Perhaps Tristan thought now was the right time to tell Bella her truth.

In other words, he decided that he would have no more opportunity to speak except today.

“Why… Why? Why did you become the devil?”

“I’m sorry.”

The word sorry came out of Tristan’s mouth, who never apologizes unless it’s something very serious. Bella understood the weight of his one-word apology. But apart from understanding, her mouth moved as it pleased.

“If you’re sorry, is that all? What should we do… Why did you become a demon lord!”

“I’m sorry.”

“What should I say in social circles now? I said you weren’t a bad person… You said you fought against monsters before anyone else… You were the devil…”

“I’m sorry.”

“I swear you are not our enemy. I put my family and my name on the line! However… Why!”

“I’m sorry.”

“Knowing that I’m so sorry!”

Bella screamed and sat down.

She collapsed.

“Why… Why did you do that? . Why…”

Bella cupped her face with both hands. To somehow pick up her broken expression and her heart.

“Why… Have you become the devil…? .

But I couldn’t contain her tears.

Tears flowed from her eyes as she felt betrayed that the man she loved was the devil. But it wasn’t a feeling of betrayal towards Tristan.

The Isaachel family is a family that inherits light. And at the end of darkness, at the opposite point of light, is the entity called the Devil. It is not uncommon for ordinary humans to combine with demons, but this was something that could not be tolerated in the Izakhel family.

The magic of light that Bella inherited from her ancestors is proof of her oath to God to fight against evil. If she breaks that oath, she will be punished and forfeit the blessings of light. Not only does it bring disgrace to the family she is so proud of.

The Izakhel family and the Demon King are destined to never mix like water and oil and have no choice but to fight each other at the risk of their lives.

Bella felt betrayed by that fate.

“Answer. Why do you… Have you become the devil?”

“Because that was the only way to stop the war between humans and monsters.”

“Under…” . “You said it was best to become the devil?”

“Okay. “If I had not become the Demon King, the war between humans and monsters would not have ended.”

Tristan revealed the facts he had been hiding. About deciding to become a demon lord. He also calmly explained the process through which he became the Demon King. There was no sign of making up words or making excuses.

“The Count chose to become the Demon King for me…”

Wendy cried and defended Tristan.

“Because I am an unreliable hero… The Count himself became the Demon King because he didn’t want me to fight…”

“… Such a fool…”

Bella understood as she heard the whole story. Why did Tristan become the devil? Did she choose to become the devil?

Because she understood that, Bella could not hide her devastated feelings.

In the end, someone was destined to become the Demon King. Someone had to become the devil and bring chaos to this world. But why did it have to be Tristan? Why was he the man she loved?

Bella couldn’t continue her words for a while. It’s like there’s a hole in her chest and everything she says will leak out.

At that time, a voice came from above her head.

“I wasn’t afraid of anything.”

When she raised her head, Tristan was looking down at her Bella her her her.

“I was not afraid of the jealousy of those who envied me, the threats of the emperor, or the murderous intent of those who sought my life. Becoming a demon lord was the same. Even though I was struggling in despair, I didn’t think I was afraid.”

That gaze contained neither arrogance nor coldness, but something heartbreakingly vague.

“But Bella… “I was afraid that you might leave me.”

Bella caught her breath. Because she saw Tristan smiling softly.

“I was afraid you would leave me. Because I was more afraid of tomorrow without you by my side than anything else. The reason I’ve hidden this fact from you until now… It may have been my desire to keep you by my side even for a moment.”

“Tristan…”

“You did that. That you can love me no matter what secrets I keep. When I heard that, I… I gained courage. I have the courage to be honest with you…”

Tristan reached for Bella’s hand but stopped. It’s as if she doesn’t have the courage to hold her hand.

“You can call me a coward. If that makes you not leave my side… You can be called that way.”

“… That’s really cowardly.”

Bella stumbled and barely managed to get up on her own. She was still weak, but she was determined to get up on her own.

“If you say something like that… How could I leave you?”

“Bella…”

“You know what?”

Bella ran a hand through her front hair. Just as Tristan had been hiding it all this time, she decided to reveal something about herself that she had been hiding from him.

“Tristan, when you went to hell, I…” “I tried to give up the magic of light.”

“… “What?”

“I asked Michaela for a favor. Please save me… But I couldn’t ask for something for free, so I tried to return the blessing of light I had. “At that time, it was the most valuable thing I had.”

Bella visited Michaela to save Tristan, who had fallen into hell. He is willing to pay any price if he can save him.

“The Isaachel family is a family that inherits the magic of light. Even now, I am proud and proud of this power of light that I possess.”

“Know. But why…”

“Why would you do that?”

As if what’s new… She faintly smiled.

“Because you were so precious to me. Because you were worth more than my pride and pride.”

At that time, Bella was ready to give up everything to save Tristan. And she realized.

Ah, I truly love this man…

Bella made up her mind.

If fate, fate is to test this love…

“Miss Michaela.”

“Huh?”

Michaela, who had by then been sitting at her table yawning, blinked her eyes. She spoke respectfully to the god who had bestowed upon her the magic of light.

“I will give up possessing the magical power of that light.”

“Huh?”

Because this was the only way Bella could be with Tristan.

Michaela asked with a puzzled look on her face.

“No…Why?”

“Because I love Tristan.”

There was no hesitation. Bella grabbed the hand of Tristan, who was standing blankly.

“If it’s to love this man… ” I can give up the blessing of light. I’m sorry Michaela. He swore to drive out all evil in the world with the light given to him by Mistress Michaela, but not as much as this man… I can’t defeat this man who has become the devil lord. He can’t fight… How can we fight?”

Tristan’s hand held on the brink of hell. How much he regretted letting go of that hand back then. How much he cried. Bella’s hands tightened hers. As if she would never miss it again.

“He’s the person I love… How can I fight with someone I love so much…”

Everyone around her looked at Bella in surprise. Because if it were her usual self, it wasn’t something she would have said in front of anyone. To that extent, Bella was determined.

Just as Tristan risked his life to save Bella, this time Bella risks everything to love Tristan.

And Bella’s determination and commitment she reached God. Michaela’s answer to her, who silently listened to Bella’s plea for her…

“Yes… Yeah, right… That’s right. Okay. I understand how you feel. But… Why do you give up the magic of light?”

“… Yes?”

Michaela looks like she doesn’t know what’s going on. Bella was also embarrassed.

“Yeah… I’m going to marry that devil…”

“What… I don’t like marrying someone like that, but I can’t help it. But what does that have to do with the magic of light?”

“I swore that I would drive out evil with the magic of that light? The Demon King is also the evil of this world, right? So…”

“Ah, that’s right. Because the Demon King is a being who spreads ‘despair’. Of course, those who love the devil also become corrupted.”

“Then…”

“But you are not corrupted. Not just you, but other people as well.”

Tristan’s ‘despair’ was able to be suppressed thanks to the individuality and ‘hope’ that Wendy gained, but… Bella didn’t know that fact.

“It’s okay because Tristan is a harmless devil.”

“Then… The blessing of light I have is…”

“Isn’t that okay? If I was going to take away the blessing of light, I would have taken it away a long time ago. “Why do you want to return the magic power of light?”

“Oh, no.”

Bella’s gaze upon her, somewhat embarrassed, lost its direction. Then she made eye contact with Tristan next to her.

“… Why? “What are you dissatisfied with?”

“… “I didn’t say anything.”

A heavy and uncomfortable silence followed.

Bella realized that she had been holding her hand tightly all this time.

“… How long are you going to hold my hand?”

“… You caught it first…”

“It’s noisy!”

Bella screamed and shook Tristan’s hand away as if something dirty had been spilled on her. Then she met the gaze that was looking at them from around her.

“…”

“…”

Blanche and Wendy, who had heard everything Bella had in mind, caught Bella’s gaze and turned their heads. Seeing that made me want to go into a rat hole right now.

“… Hehe… The princess is also very active…”

“Just add one word. Helga.”

“Sorry.”

The glare was so harsh that even Helga was shocked.

“… Everyone, forget everything I said and did earlier. This is an order.”

Bella’s shoulders were shaking with shame and embarrassment.

“Okay… Right?”
