Chapter 642

Scarlet was shocked after insulting the Demon King with foul language, as it was the first time she had ever done so. She couldn't believe she had said something she would never have said to the Demon King if she had known it was him. She realized she had mistaken the person in front of her for Reinhardt, whom she feared during their time at the temple. The situation was confusing for both Scarlet and Reinhardt, and Scarlet could sense that the Demon King was very anxious and kept looking out the window. Scarlet asked about Reinhardt's cat out of curiosity, but she didn't need to ask about other issues. Scarlet remembered the Demon King's confession in the underground prison during the Gate incident and believed him, even though others didn't at the time. Those who knew the truth remained silent, and Scarlet's eyes showed the sadness and emptiness of someone who had lost everything. The Demon King had even told Scarlet to kill him if she didn't believe him, as he knew everything would go wrong if she didn't. "If I had cut off the Demon King's head and hung it in the streets, would the Gate incident have happened? That is now an unknown event. But I know that if I had believed the Demon King's words and let him go, the Gate incident would not have happened. I know that the despair and sadness I felt from the Demon King were not disguised, but were real. Scarlet knows that the Demon King's words, which were considered false at the time, were all true. She also knows about Akasha. But even if Scarlet had believed the Demon King's words, there was nothing she could change. She was just there for the needs of important people. And she was one of the silent people who knew the truth but knew that it was meaningless to tell people after everything had happened. Scarlet did what she could. She believed that killing monsters and saving people silently was the best she could do. So Scarlet didn't need to ask about the Gate incident because she already knew. The Demon King doesn't need to ramble on about why Scarlet can't trust him because she already believes him. It's just a matter of trusting him and being afraid of him. 'Did you come to seek revenge on me?' 'Um...yes...' Scarlet realizes why she was trembling even though she trusted him. Reinhardt is still the same. He's the Demon King, but he's not like a typical Demon King. He's just a person with few cases. It's still confusing. Even though she believes him, she knows she's not an important person. She wonders why he came and why he asked about her friends. Reinhardt is struggling to persuade Scarlet, but he realizes that he doesn't need to persuade her. Scarlet was just surprised and needed time to calm down. There was no need to go into detail because she had already heard everything before. "Now that I've calmed down a bit, if you could tell me slowly what's so urgent..." "Wait." Just as they were about to have a proper conversation, Reinhardt's expression towards the window became terrifyingly stiff. "I don't think there's any time to talk now." "I wonder what he saw, as Reinhardt roughly closed the curtains. 'Yes...?' 'I'm grateful and relieved that you trust me. From now on, let's do it this way. I'll tell you everything later.' Reinhardt looked straight into Scarlet's red eyes, as if to never forget. 'From now on, never leave my side.' '...Yes?' Scarlet was taken aback by his strange confession-like words. 'Understood? No matter what happens, remember to stay with me. Even if someone tries to separate us, you must never let go. Answer quickly if you understand.' 'Yes? Yes... Ah, yes. But... to try to separate us?' Scarlet soon realized the meaning behind Reinhardt's sudden words. Suddenly, Reinhardt shrank. 'Meow.' He meant to take her with him wherever he went. She trusted him, even though she didn't know what was going on. But the black cat's bright eyes and Reinhardt's dirty expression overlapped, making Scarlet feel sick. 'I feel sick...' Meowing happily as if he liked it, Scarlet felt even worse. And soon, there was a knocking sound on her door. Scarlet felt her muscles tense all over her body. 'Scarlet, it's me, Ludwig.' If cats had expressions, his would surely be very serious right now. They missed the timing to talk and didn't share anything. The Demon King had become a pampered cat and couldn't speak anymore. The only thing that was clear was that the Demon King had no intention of harming Scarlet, and Scarlet was feeling sorry for Reinhardt. Why did the Demon King come here? And why did Ludwig come here?" Translation:

Ki Gam is a superhuman with exceptional development that cannot be compared to ordinary people. Ludwig must have felt her presence beyond the wall. "I thought I should come and find you." If she hadn't opened the door, Ludwig would have known that she was deliberately not opening the door. Somehow, Scarlet could tell that Ludwig was lying. She had to act like she didn't know anything. She had to pretend that nothing was wrong. Ludwig suggested they take a walk, and Scarlet agreed. Although they weren't particularly close, they were still comrades in the Temple Royal Class. They had a strange form of friendship called comradeship, where they knew everything about each other and were willing to die for each other. Scarlet still valued Ludwig's life. She could still die for him. She couldn't refuse to take a walk. However, Scarlet remembered what the Demon King had said. Ludwig saw her come out of the room with a black cat in her arms. Ludwig smiled as if he hadn't seen her in a long time. Scarlet felt uncomfortable because she knew what the cat was. The cat meowed, and Ludwig joked that the cat was always with girls.
