170 161. I'm yours alone.──

"It's the dark power of the Demon King." Dwell in this hand. "

The moment I said it, my── eyes and head turned pitch dark.

While my vision was completely blocked, I could hear voices like this.

Oh, so you're finally going to rely on your concubine's help?

I'm just listening, and my head is getting messy.

Hate, hate, hate, hate.

It feels like I've suffered all the hatred in this world.

My head is refreshed past the pain.

But I can't move my body the way I want.

I was desperately stopping my consciousness from breaking off.

Nigel!

I can't see her. But I can only hear voices.

However, just listening to that voice swells her love.

What are you going to throw away?

The Demon King's voice speaks to me.

"I'm...."

Do you know what's going on? If you abandon the Holy Maiden, the world will be saved. But if we── forsake the world, the Holy Lady is saved. In other words, the saintly lady and the world are on the balance. Which do you choose?

That was the question the goddess asked me before I got here,── and the demon king asked me.

No, moreover, a── long time ago, Douglas asked me, thinking that this situation would come to him one day.

As a prince, I know── my options.

Abandoning Elaine.

Sometimes a royalty shall cast away his precious things and men, and deliver his people.

And even with your── own life, there are times when you have to sacrifice.

This is exactly the time.

As the ideal prince of everyone, I must sacrifice only one Elijah.

But──.

"I choose── Eliane..."

The choice I made was unsuitable for me as a── prince. [M]

Nigel, please have a good look!

I've never said a word before. [M]

Then this would be my first period of rebellion.

Kukuku, that's an interesting answer. Have you changed your mind?

The Demon King laughed happily.

I couldn't make a── normal decision because I craved the power of darkness so much.

I've never felt so much hatred and disgust.

“Please, Nigel! You're a prince, aren't you? It's impossible to choose me here!"

That's what I said, and I got a little nervous.

No, it's not.

That's not what I want to do.

"I...──"

I shout as if to shake away the glitter in my head. [M]

"I want to be the prince of your dreams. Ahhhhhhh!"

You don't have to be the ideal prince for everyone.

I just── want to be the only prince I love.

Because that's what a man is.

Trying to be the ideal prince of a woman in love──.

──Nie── Jieh

Oh──, Eliane's voice was getting farther and farther away.

I may not be able to hold her hand in the dark anymore. [M]

But──.

No.

With one word, I murmured.

Could it be that abandoning the country and taking Elijah's hand meant becoming her own ideal prince?

──Isn't that right, Nigel?

Were you such a small man?

Do you think Eliane would be happy to do this?

──Everything was no.

What are you going to throw away?

At that time,── and now, the demon king asked me a question.

I'll tell you this again and again. [M]

"I'm not throwing anything away. It may be thought of as greedy. All of them,── I'm not going to release a single drop of something important from this hand!"

I think that's her ideal prince──.

Take out the sword as if to slash and tear the thighs in his head.

Then, the dark world suddenly glows white.

And in front of me was the woman I loved.
