My Wife Is the Devil

Ha—

Inside the cave where there is a cool breeze.

The elderly man, with his brown hair neatly brushed back and wearing a white priest’s robe that expressed the nobility of a priest, was slowly moving with his eyes on the breath expelling from his mouth.

In a quiet cave where you can’t even hear mere breathing sounds other than the man’s footsteps.

In the eyes of the saint who was walking in a secret place where only pitch-black darkness seemed to continue, the bluish brilliance that scatters divine energy finally begins to reveal itself.

A man standing at the top of the Telmere Church, the official religion of Liriam.

Saint Erman, clutching an unknown white flower in his hand, strode towards the site of the mercy of Raynel, the angel of chastis*ment.

Jiying—-

The power of the [Guillotine], which forbids the entry of beings with unclean powers, seizes the saint’s body for a while, but the bluish brilliance that he had made an illusion crushed himself in the air and allowed him to enter.

Erman, who for some reason lowered his head at the sight, put his hand on my chest, took a deep breath, and started walking again.

Touk——

After a short while continuing to advance towards the inside of the cave, before him appear before him, numerous lambs resting in a coffin made of transparent and clear glass.

No, for the rest of the living, the world of the poor and pitiful dead who cannot rest forever.

The Telmere Church’s Geum Station.

It was [the coffin of the dead].

As Saint Telmere said, human beings are born from dust and return to dust.

Therefore, the clergy who follow his word are obliged to return the dead to a handful of ashes according to the doctrine.

Everything in the world didn’t always go smoothly.

For those who want to keep their eyes on even the dead body of a loved one.

The denomination violated his word and made a forbidden law that should not be made.

“…Telmeir. Most of the world’s people are stupid and pitiful than you think. Please forgive me for this disrespect.”

Judging from the appearance of Erman, who speaks to himself in a low-pitched manner in a place that is similar to that of a denomination of such a denomination.

Apparently, he was also one of the foolish servants of God who did not accept the law.

Erman’s footsteps as he walked through the Geum Station, where such a bluish brilliance and a chill that could freeze to the bones were mixed, stopped in front of a special coffin that had reached the state of art, unlike other coffins, engraved with a silvery roaring lion.

A special place where the divine energy embracing the color of the ocean like the ocean is in full bloom.

The corpse of a woman with pure white hair lying in the middle of the tomb of the Liream family was far away and I saw it in my eyes.

“… … .”

The wretched princess who drank the poison that my brother gave me and died without even screaming because her eyes and tongue melted alive.

Elania von Liram.

In the past, before Erman was chosen as a saint, the woman he secretly had in his heart when he was working as a heretic inquisitor.

Looking at the eternally unforgettable corpse of his first love, the elderly saint could only close his eyes and take a slow, deep breath.

sahaah

Seongsu, who embraces the mystery of returning the body of a woman who died in a terrible way, to her beautiful former life, emits bluish energy in a clear and transparent glass tube and sings a requiem for the dead.

After a brief moment of silence, Erman offered an unknown flower in her arms to her, and then slowly knelt in front of the glass coffin and clasped her hands.

It was as if foolish sinners were confessing to a priest.

After throwing off the face of a saint who always gives grace to the good and punishes the wicked, Erman knelt before her as a sinner.

He simply began to speak his sin calmly.

“It’s been a while, Elania. When I came to meet you, I always wanted to tell you only pleasant stories. Unfortunately, I think I have to talk a little bit heavy today.”

To be precise, it is a confession of my sins.

After saying those words, Erman shook his head without opening his mouth for a while, feeling the echo of the divine power in his heart, and smiled a self-helpful smile.

“… I threw off my duties as a saint, and even disobeyed the solemn words of Telmere-sama, wielding the power that God had bestowed on me.”

‘This is a secret number that should never be known to the world. Erman, never… You must never speak freely about this power.’

After the death of the princess, the power of God that came to dwell in her heart one day while praying with all food and drink abolished.

[Eve]

His only close friend and a man who inherited the royal lineage.

Brukin saw this and said:

This is the great power to save those who suffer from evil.

However, even at the words of a close friend who nodded towards him even in a cold sweat, Erman only made a sad expression on his face.

Yes, only the powers bestowed upon him. If one’s own breath is cut off, it’s because it was a frivolous power to return to the night before.

Some said

If he continues to kill himself, he wonders if he can go back to the past.

However, his power was only displayed in a noble feat to prevent evil.

‘Don’t get caught up in the past.’

Erman could only remain silent at the revelation of a great being that echoed in his ear.

“After realizing that I could not stop your death, I just gave up on everything. I have lived a life that conforms to what is called fate.”

Since everything was in vain, he didn’t even take revenge.

Even if the man sitting on the throne stole his most precious thing.

“As time passed, I became a saint who was respected by everyone. In front of me like that, an adorable newborn baby appeared.”

A child who was chosen by the heavens with the same flame in her heart.

“I was raised with extreme sincerity. I thought about it. That child is the only rope of salvation given to me, who lost you and everything became futile.”

He stomped his feet in case the wind blew away, ran around the streets of Darkana to feed, and nurtured politeness and dignity so that he would not be discouraged even among the aristocrats.

“Well, I was raised so hard. A certain black man snatched the boy and went away.”

Yet I was happy.

Because that child’s happiness was my happiness.

“However, God is ruthless. That moment when my daughter should be the happiest. He gave the child an ordeal that could not be overcome. In the end, Cecil died in vain.”

Without even wearing the white dress she wanted so much.

I didn’t do anything wrong though.

get punished too badly

I fell into an eternal sleep.

“At first, I was reluctant to accept it. Death comes to everyone someday. Even though the time for parting has come a little bit, Jung. You should send it with a smile. I thought so.”

‘I just received a message from Priest Emily from Kente Village.’

‘… Emily? What the hell is that kid talking to me about?’

‘… Inquisitor Julius Tafnel. They say he died.’

‘… … .’

“He was a rude guy who stole my daughter. I really liked that guy. No, I might have been happy actually. He was more manly than any other man in the world. He was a man who knew how to cherish, care for, and love my woman.”

Yes, if it were Julius. I hope I can trust my daughter.

“But, who would have thought? The blessing of conception, the fruit of love, would take the child’s life. It was just an accident. It wasn’t his fault.”

However, Julius was an overly straight man. I could not stand the feeling of guilt and loss that was swirling within me and collapsed.

“I had to bury my son-in-law with these hands that buried my daughter. The emptiness I felt then still remains in this heart, constantly cooling my blood.”

…….

At the end of those words, Erman closed his eyes for a moment and grabbed both hands tightly, though it was so sad that it was hard to keep his eyes open.

On this land on which he knelt, only the unanswered dead remained silent.

“At that time, I was very tired. Yes, I needed a rage to fill my brain to burn the emptiness that ran through this heart, and I hated my pitiful granddaughter, Leira, who lost her mother and father before she could grow up.”

‘Ha, Grandpa. Oh, hello.’

‘… … .’

“I didn’t turn my attention to him, because I couldn’t bear to pour my hatred on him, who was a little girl.”

‘I, please… can’t you just hug me once?’

‘… … .’

“The child who cried tears of unbearable loneliness… I vehemently turned away.”

‘… May the blessings of Rom be with you. long time no see. Saint Erman.’

‘… … Yeah, long time no see, my granddaughter.’

‘… Ha, Grandpa.’

“However, as the years passed, I had no choice but to open my mouth to the bitter smile of Leira, who appeared in front of me in the same shape as Cecil of the past.”

‘…I’m sorry.’

‘Huh, black… uh… ugh.’

“I was afraid that I might look hateful to my one and only family, so when I saw my granddaughter forcibly swallowed even the tears that came out, the anger inside me turned into a sense of guilt. He had no face, but at least for the rest of his life, he was determined to work for the happiness of that child.”

Leira Tafnel is not a cursed child.

Because that child was born with the blessings of Cecil and Julius.

“The kind and kind child readily accepted the forgiveness of her poor grandfather. They smiled brightly at me as if they were a harmonious family from the beginning.”

‘grandfather!’

‘…… OK.’

“Even though I ate as I grew older and sat in the seat of a saint who was respected by all, it was disgusting to see me leaning on the favor of a young girl. It was good nonetheless.”

In that child’s face, I could see my beloved daughter, Cecil.

“Then one day. Leira, who ascended to the position of a saint and succeeded in leading the denomination after me, came to me with a book in her arms, tilted her head and said,

‘Grandpa, I have a question for you.’

‘…Ask anything. Let me answer you with all my heart.’

‘In this book, I was taught that the power of all the saints in the past is written, but strangely, the power of the grandfather is not written anywhere.’

‘… It’s not a big deal. It is not written down because it is a power that is not good because it is known.’

‘Hey, I’m still curious.’

‘…Are you sure you want to keep it a secret?’

‘Yes Yes!’

‘…… This one looks just like its mother.’

“Oh, rather. If I hadn’t told that child about the powers I had at that time… would everything have gone smoothly… Would I have been able to not bear such a terrible sin on my back as a saint?”

A fool like me knew nothing about my granddaughter.

What kind of wounds the child suffered and what hopes he had in his heart.

And I didn’t know at the time just how clever the kid was.

“Lyra, who had heard of my power, the eve, noticed it at once. The secret of my power that even I did not know.”

‘Grandpa, Grandpa.’

‘……Why are you calling me?’

‘In a little while, it’s my grandfather’s birthday. So I prepared a surprise party for you.’

‘Huh, if you tell me that, wouldn’t it be a surprise?’

‘Hehe, yes. I just wanted to tell you.’

…my dear grandfather. Erman, the savior of all.

“The secret of my power that even I did not know. [The eve] wasn’t actually the power to turn back the time to the day before.”

The exact power of power.

A day to choose the final crossroads that can prevent the destruction of the world.

The power to go back to that ‘the day before’.

“Because of that, Leila became the ruin of the world by herself. 23 The Great Evil has been unsealed, and she calls herself the Evil Queen, revealing herself as my adversary.”

‘Do you like it? grandfather.’

“Everyone pointed at the boy. An ominous being that devoured my mother and father. I, too, didn’t say it, but I saw Leira and thought so.”

That child is a cursed child.

“Certainly, Leyra was a cursed child. To be precise, people’s finger pointing and cold eyes turned into a curse, ate that child, and in the end made him do such nonsense.”

……

“The battle between the saint and his adversary has come to an end. The first world, the last moment. The last sight reflected in my heart-pierced eyes.”

It was a tragic ending for a poor girl who committed suicide in tears.

“The world eventually returned to nothing, and when I woke up again after losing my mind, I had to see.”

‘Anyway, you won’t be home tomorrow, so don’t wait, Dad. I promised to hang out with Julius all night.’

“The appearance of a living, breathing, Cecil.”

‘Cecile, Cecil, Cecil!’

‘Uh, huh? What, why are you doing this all of a sudden? Hurry away! I’ll be late for the date I promised with Julius!’

“The plan of the grown-up Leyra was remarkably and perfectly successful, and I sacrificed my granddaughter’s corruption the day she was born. It came back to the day before.”

To be precise, the [Eve] that can prevent the birth of Leira Tafnel, who will bring about the destruction of the world.

shaah

As if the dead were giving an answer, Erman raised his head for a moment at the sound of holy water falling from an exquisite point of view.

However, the princess lying in a blue coffin and seeking eternal sleep was only silent, without even moving.

He shook his head and started confessing again.

“I, who I had longed for, returned to before everything started, just recklessly grabbed Cecil’s hand and forced me to move.”

‘What, what, Dad! Let this go, let this go. Heh, a date with Julius is coming soon. Where are you taking me?’

‘… … .’

“At that time, my mind was filled with only one thought and I couldn’t think of anything else. With the belief that ‘Cecil must be saved,’ Julius and Cecil were not allowed to meet.”

‘Wow, what are you talking about? break up What the hell is that!’

“With the indulgence of not letting Leira’s sacrifice be in vain, I forced a separation between Cecil and Julius, and it didn’t seem like such a tragedy would happen.”

‘Dad… I miss Julius so much.’

“However, as time passed, Cecil grew weaker and weaker, and I couldn’t bear to see the child who was slowly dying from a deadly disease, so I finally gave up on separating the two.”

‘Clean! I miss you, really.’

‘Julius, Julius, Julius! Whoa.’

“Of course, as is the case with men and women in their prime, the two had an accident as soon as they were reunited, and as if everything had been decided, Cecil became pregnant with Julius’ child.”

‘Hey, I’m sorry, Dad. I, I took Julius’ child.’

‘… … yes, congratulations Washroom.’

“At first, I thought that the child would lose vitality to the child in my arms and die from weakness, but after thinking soberly, I was honestly relieved.”

Well, the past has already changed. The child who now resides in Cecil’s womb.

Not Leira Tafnel.

“No, it should not have been. To be precise, it is a natural truth that it is not. But, surprisingly, the child born was Leira.”

And Cecil too, once again deprived of all vitality by Layra, slowly and futilely collapsed.

“Watching my daughter’s death again, I was terrified.”

Even if I forcefully separated from Julius, even if I put the two together.

Cecil’s death is inevitable.

“I felt trapped in a maze with no exit. It felt like there was no way out.”

And then, someone whispered in my ear.

I’ll lend you the wisdom to get through this maze.

“I moved as if possessed by a whisper in my ear. And when I finally stopped walking, I had to meet.”

– Ha ha! Come on. No, welcome. Great Saint Erman.

‘…a high-ranking demon.’

“Watch Tower of Temperance. A being sealed in a famous painting named . filthy desires.”

it whispered to me

To me, who has reached a dead end, I promise to break down the walls and lend the wisdom to move toward the future.

“Arn Hill. One who grants wishes in the ancient language. The one with the name was, indeed, an innocuous demon.”

Seriously, cruel and terrifying.

He was a cunning demon.

-You want to save your daughter? Then the answer is simple. A very simple truth that has been passed down from the days of the kings. If there is a problem, you just have to eliminate the cause of the problem.

“It pushed two options towards me, and forced me to make a choice.”

Will I accept the death of my beloved daughter Cecil and move forward?

Will he not accept the child’s death and bear the unforgivable sin?

“The solution was simple. An existence that inevitably brings Cecil’s death. The Vicar of Faith, Julius Tafnel.”

The best man on earth.

All you have to do is erase its very existence.

It was an incredibly simple way.

“At that time, I was a madman, half-crazed out of my mind at the death of my daughter, who I had witnessed again. Accepting the wisdom whispered by the devil, he broke the seal of Arnhill, and lost his life to its magic.”

shaah

“Since then, things have been very simple. The place where I, who lost my life due to the evil, woke up, another turning point that could stop the birth of Leira Tafnel, in the middle of the Holy Demon War where Julius Tafnel was chosen as the representative of his faith.”

I shouldn’t do it as a saint. had committed a sin.

“To save my daughter, I killed a young boy who would one day set a great, great feat.”

The blood that should never have been buried was buried on this hand.

After saying those words, he slowly got up from his seat with his head bowed.

The last confession, whispered softly to the princess.

“So, this world is a perfect world. No, it has to be a perfect world.”

Because there were so many terrible things before I got here.

To save one child’s life, he trampled on the lives of many.

“I must make that child a saint, Cecil. You have to live a happy life.”

That is my last duty.

-… … .

Touk——

With those words, the elderly saint did not open his mouth any longer, turned his back on the princess, and slowly walked towards the exit of Geum Station.

-You are a really scary, terrible sinner.

The voice of a woman who can no longer be heard resounds in her mind, pondering her sins as she sings.

It was just that, without hesitation, I was moving forward.
