Chapter 107: "Queen and greedy Theft"

"Life is like a coin. You don't know which position you will land in."

"What kind of choice did you make. What consequences did you bear, I've been living like this ever since I remember it."

"All I can do now, is to move on, and bear all the consequences I've done."

Sitting in front of the fireplace, and looking at Lirz who spoke to him. Linc just lowered his head in silence.

"Ever since I walked in the gray area, I was ready to be killed. What only makes me a little funny is, the killer felt guilty for killing me."

Lirz looked at the Devil who wasn't wearing his mask at the moment.

He smiled a little.

"Haha, it's good to still have someone who can remember you when you're dead."

"I will continue to be your inner ghost. Haunting you day and night to warn of the consequences of what you do. This is my curse on you."

A curse, a blessing to the devil.

"Warning you, that all options have a price to pay."

Flicked the metal coin he had been spinning all along towards the bonfire. Linc, who was sitting in front of him, suddenly grabbed the coin in confusion.

"Thank you, demon lord."

To remember me even when I'm dead.

Thank you, For still letting me live in your mind.

I really thank you.

"Then how about you sir armor? Have any last words before boarding a ride?"

Looked to the right, and saw Delta, who was still wearing the MASFIR mecha, leaning against a large tree, beyond the light of the fire. Linc didn't know when Delta had appeared there.

"I'm not leaving until I wash away all my sins. I'm just passing through here."

Could feel Delta's gaze from within the darkness. Linc subconsciously straightened his back.

"Thank you."

Delta said earnestly.

"You, good father."

Stunned, don't understand what Delta is talking about right now. Linc blinked, and he suddenly realized, that Lirz and Delta, instantly disappeared from where they were in the blink of an eye.

"Hah?"

Linc grew even more confused.

"Your time is up. There's someone out there who wants to meet you."

Heard the little girl's voice in his mind. Linc's back suddenly felt like it was being pushed by a small hand, and he took a few steps forward.

"Go on, it's time for you to make a choice."

"The ending of the story you want, will end according to the choices you make."

"Good luck."

....

Wink one more time. Linc opened his eyes wide, and he saw a blinding light, covering his entire vision.

Closed his eyes tightly, and then opened them again. Linc realized he was already somewhere else.

If you want to describe, this is like a very majestic church area.

Large stained glass adorns the stone windows, and the light illuminates the floor in a very soothing light.

The light also shone on the majestic throne, which Linc was currently sitting on.

"What?"

Awaken from his daydream. Linc suddenly found that he was sitting in a majestic chair, like a pope's.

This chair seemed to have he been seen somewhere before.

"We meet again, Devil."

Hear a very familiar voice. Linc raised his head, and saw a beautiful girl, with long hair, standing with an air of majesty.

"Luna?"

No, she doesn't seem like Luna.

Luna was the figure of a small girl who had a short build, and she was still 14 years old today.

Even though their faces are the same. The figure of a girl with a temperament like a full of wisdom, and a very mature body figure, very different from the Luna he knew.

This girl is too beautiful.

And she an adult too.

Damn, this girl has already entered the area of his attack zone.

Felt his heart beating very fast. Linc did confirm that this woman in front of him wasn't Luna.

"Hmm~"

Looking at Devil sitting dazedly on the pope's seat. Luna smiled charmingly.

"Should I introduce my name one more time?"

Luna bowed her head, and paid respects to the demon sitting on the throne gracefully.

"Luna Amarilylis, your daughter."

Came to save you.

Took a deep breath, when hearing that the woman in front of him called herself is Luna. Linc was even more confused.

He rose from his throne.

"What actually happened here?"

Doesn't answer Devil question. Luna pointed her finger at the glowing gate, which was at the end of the hall.

"If you walk in this way, then you'll get the freedom you've always wanted."

Linc asked: "You mean I can be free from LOVE control?"

"Yes."

Luna answered him without hesitation.

"Then how about you? Are you going to come with me?"

"Not... I'll still be here."

Luna smiled at Devil.

"Now, the sleeping princess is awake. It's time for the knights to let her go."

The princess has turned into a queen. She didn't need anyone to protect her anymore.

All she wanted now was to save her knight, and that was enough for her.

Sacrifice herself to take Linc's place. It made Luna happy.

You see?

I will protect you now.

I, don't need you anymore.

Walked towards the shining gate. Linc touched the gate with his right hand. but, he still hadn't opened the door.

The freedom he had always wanted was right in front of him right now. But, he did not immediately enter.

All choices have consequences.

This was the teaching Lirz gave him.

Beside that...

He had a very bad feeling. It was as if, something important to him would disappear if he made the wrong decision.

He looked at Luna.

"What's wrong? Anything you want to ask?"

Looked at Luna who was cocking her eyebrows in confusion. Linc shook his head.

"you are Luna?"

"yes, I am."

"Then, there's something I want to tell you."

Take a deep breath. Linc looked at Luna with a playful smile.

"You remember? When you asked me if I was a knight or a dragon by the river? I still couldn't answer it then."

"But, now, I can."

Smiled, and turned around, taking the sprint start position on the spot. Luna who saw Linc's actions, could only tilt her head in more and more confusion.

"I'm neither one. Remember what I said in the mirror maze? I'm will become to be a thief."

"[Reset job: Thief.]"

Running with all his might. Linc ran towards Luna at full speed, and he hugged Luna, in a very tight hug.

Luna: "!???!"

"[As the first mission, you decided to steal something....]"

"[Target has been locked.]"

"[Target....]"

"[Luna Amaryllis.]"

Hearing this, Luna who was in Linc's arms, opened her eyes wide.

"...."

Luna's eyes, which were golden in color, welled up with tears she was holding back.

The emotions she had originally thought were strong as a steel wall, were instantly smashed into smithereens.

"Now, Your life is mine."

Has another meaning, don't be reckless in the future.

Gripped Linc's shirt tightly, and lowered her head down. Luna's ears immediately reddened when she heard this sentence.

"Cheater... This is really unfair." Her voice was very small, like a mosquito whispering.

She who acts tough, to save Devil.

She, who acted maturely to save her knight.

Instantly shattered into pieces.

You did it.

You managed to steal the queen's heart.

Now, I won't be able to life without you.

Not knowing the gap of thought between the two of them. Linc continued to run forward, and he smashed through the multicolored stained glass, shattering it into pieces.

"Next destination, Home!!"

Immersed in a dazzling light. The figures of the two of them instantly disappeared from the white area.

.....

Stepped into a super dark area. Linc continued to stride forward, and he could finally see a little girl, huddled in the corner of the room.

The little girl raised her head.

"I want to steal you too."

The figure of the Devil, who smiled broadly at her. Clearly visible in the reflection of her eyeballs, and the little girl would not forget him, for forever.
