Unos delivered Rudeth’s message to Devon as soon as they done with today’s job. Devon accepted the offer but he needed to go back to the inn first to inform his friends about the banquet.Devon went back to the inn and told his friends about Viscount Klein’s idea to hold a banquet in his mansion. The girls were looking forward to join in the banquet. They looked excited except Roxanne. Devon could see that Roxanne looked a bit down lately. He wanted to ask her directly but he thought that Roxanne might need her time for now. Devon also told the girls that he was going to visit Rudeth because Rudeth wanted to talk with him in private. The girls gave him a good luck and encouraging words and it made Devon felt even better. However, as Roxanne saw Devon left the room and headed to Rudeth’s place, she thought that it would be the last time for her to see Devon with his smile. She thought that Rudeth might want to see him because he already decided to kill Devon soon.D

After Devon was told by Rudeth about the truth, he wanted to spend his last moments by walking around the city of Gallantros. He felt heavy to bid farewell to his friends yet. He wanted to comfort his mind and heart first by taking a walk through the city. He just arrived here in the city not so long and he already enjoyed living here. He kept on walking and see the busy town with lots of people.Some citizens knew about Devon. He was quite well-known because he has been helping out in rebuilding the city along with the citizens and Rudeth’s students.“Devon boy! How are you doing?” A middle-aged man called Devon. He looked like having a difficulty in moving some sacks of sand.“I’m fine, Sir. Let me help you.” Devon answered that man’s greeting and he quickly helped him to move some sacks to the house.“Oh, thank you boy. I can do it myself actually.” The man thanked Devon.“It’s alright, sir. I just want to help.” Devon tried to show of

Devon and the girls finally arrived at the inn and they gathered up together with the others.“Devon, how was your talk with sir Rudeth?” Fransesca started to ask. She looked a bit worried. “have you found the way to tame the demons?”“Hmm. I’m not really sure. Sir Dietrich was still busy with his job. We haven’t actually finished our discussion. Before the banquet begin, I’m going to see him again to discuss more.” Devon lied. He did not want to reveal the result if his meeting with Rudeth before. He was determined to tell his friends about his last moments in life and he was about to bid fareell to them but knowing that his revenge was not accomplished, he wanted to finish that thing first. That was why Devon did not care if he lied to the girls.“I see. Well, I wish you luck then, Bro! Once you have been cured, I …” Arwen suddenly paused her talking. “I think I wanna spend more time with you and explore the world!” Arwen said it out, her wish to be free.“I’m coming with you, Arwen

It was the night before the party celebrating the liberation of Gallantros would take place. As one of the key players making impact in the decisive battle, Rudeth was of course invited as one of the guests. Unos, Duos, and Tres, are his closest and most trustworthy of his pupils, so it was not any wonder for them to have their hopes high to be selected as Rudeth’s escort for the night. Especially when they were asked to come visiting their master’s chamber.“Guys, you’ve been summoned by Master Rudeth as well?” asked Unos when he saw Duos and Tres along the way. “Here I thought I would be a single candidate for escorting Master Rudeth.”“Trust me, each one of us thought the same way. You know that we became his pupils at almost the same time, making all of us equal,” replied Tres. “It’s either one of us, or all of us. There’s no in between.”“Why don’t we make this more interesting? Let’s place a bet, pool in some money and the winner will take all!” suggested Duos, showing his comra

“Rascal, this humanity you’re trying so hard to defend, tell me, what’s so good about it?” inquired Belphegor. “I mean, look at the aristocrats trying to pick on you before. Are they worth it for salvation?”Devon didn’t answer right away. Instead, he threw his glance to the podium, where his bullies fawning over their leader, Conrad, like maggots trying to consume rotten flesh. His stomach churned to see their boot-licking behavior, in contrast to the arrogance they displayed just before.“Bel, easy on the conscience, will you? This brat’s reality is quite fragile,” mocked Leviathan condescendingly. “No need to corner him right away. Let him just see the futility of his struggle all by himself. It will be easier for all of us, and we’re not in a rush as well.”Devon ignored Leviathan’s remark, although he could see the Demon of Envy’s point. Indeed, why did he have to go through the hassle of walking on the path of pacifism? He could throw everything over
