Chapter 45

I felt Cynrad's tight grip on me, he was afraid, I could feel it. And probably Area also feels the fear that my companion feels.

"We have no intention of causing trouble." I said, Arae crawled towards me, I even looked up because of Arae's size, she smiled at me.

"Is that so? You're boring then." She says.

"I need your help." I said so her eyebrows rose, she suddenly burst out laughing and crawled to her throne surrounded by snakes with two heads.

"A demon seeks help from a queen of curses." She said laughing and then shaking her head with laughter. "Tell me black angel, have your demon powers weakened?" She laughed at the question. I bent my hand to hide.

"Others like me have nothing to do with the help I'm asking for." I said that made her face even more amazed.

"Really? That's why you have the courage to enter my place." She said and then laughed.

"What help are you going to ask me for?" She asked while playing with a large snake next to her.

"A curse covers the... place they call winsoul." I said so she stopped playing with her pet and then looked at me, suddenly she laughed loudly as if what I said was a big joke.

"A black angel like you asking for help for a human? You're a laughing stock." She said and continued playing with her pet.

"You do not understand." I said and took a deep breath. "If I could convince my sister to take back the curse she made, I wouldn't go here." I said so she looked at me.

"Angel, Angel, Angel landing on the ground." She jokingly called me and then grinned. "Do you think you can convince me to help you too?" She asked laughingly. "I'm a resourceful creature but I have no intention of knowing about your problem." She said then crawled closer to me.

"When did humans and demons form an alliance?"She asked and I came closer to her face, I felt her tongue on my cheek and then when her lips smiled.

"Looks like I understand." She said and then moved away from me and smirked, she turned around again and slowly crawled back to her throne.

"A man who made a deal with the devil is the brave one in front of me right now." She said so my eyes narrowed. "Is hell running out of demons so they turned someone like you into a demon?" She asked and then turned to me. I didn't answer, she must have known everything as she licked my cheek.

"You angels who are called, whether you are white or black, you are equally losers." She said and sat on her throne and stared at me as if I were a toy.

"We beg you." My eyes widened when Cynrad came out of my wings, Arae's smile widened when she saw Cynrad. "We wanted to help my friend to become a king, but because of that curse it seems unlikely that he will become a king." Cynrad said. I swallowed nervously, why did you go out Cynrad? Arae is a dangerous creature and she delights in the wild souls of men.

"A human soul." She said with a strange smile on her lips. I immediately grabbed Cynrad causing her to look at me.

"Don't involve him in this, please." I said making Arae laugh.

"You guys are fun to watch." She said and then looked at Cynrad.

"The black angel next to you looks special to you." Arae said so I looked at Cynrad.

"Please, help us." Cynrad said to Arae, that I was alert when Arae approached Cynrad, she grinned at him and then looked at me.

"This guy doesn't know what he's talking about." Arae said to me and then started circling Cynrad.

"Man, how much do you want to help your friend who will be king?" She asked Cynrad, I looked at Cynrad fighting the fear.

"One hundred percent." Cynrad replied to Arae which made Arae laugh.

"Really? but don't you want to be king?" Arae asked Cynrad so I stared at it, the shock of what Arae said was obvious in his eyes.

"When I was young, I wanted to be king." Cynrad said to Arae, a smile drew on Arae's lips as she continued to circle Cynrad and me.

"Really? Is that so?" Arae asked, clearly interested in what she was doing.

"Please, just help us." Cynrad said so Arae stopped spinning then slowly approached Cynrad.

"What if I say I don't want to?" Arae asked Cynrad. My blood starts to boil at this Arae.

"I beg you, we will do whatever you wish." Cynrad said causing Arae to laugh and sit back on her throne.

We watched Arae laugh at what Cynrad said, he never thought that Arae would ask for his life or his soul in exchange.

"You will do everything I want?" Arae asked Cynrad. I looked at Cynrad who nodded. Stupid!

"He's not with--"

"Please leave it here." Arae said to Cynrad and didn't finish what I was going to say, Arae's face suddenly became serious while looking at Cynrad who was surprised by what Arae said.

"You're the payback if I help your friend." He said and grinned, I frowned and pulled Cynrad to my back.

"The person I'm with is out of the question, I'll make your requests." I said causing the smile on her lips to grow wider.

"Rule 2097, demons cannot form an alliance with a human unless there is an agreement between the demon and the human." Arae said while looking at me. "You are aware of that rule, aren't you? You know what happens when you find out about people's problems." It told me. I bowed down.

"Rule 3096, it is forbidden to take a living soul to hell, only death has the right to take a soul." She said it so I bit my tongue.

"Rule 176, it is forbidden for a demon to make a pact with a being more powerful than him." She added.

" What do you think black angel, what will happen to you if I tell your father what you are doing?" It asked me.

"Please, don't report her." Cynrad's groin made Arae stare at him and laugh.

"Answer my question." She told me while looking at Cynrad.

Cynrad looked at me so I also looked at him and bowed.

"Those caught breaking the rules will be put to death." I said softly so Cynrad's eyes widened then he looked at Arae.

"I'm begging you, don't report Ksara." Cynrad said and knelt in front of Aare's throne causing Arae to laugh out loud.

My jaw tightened from holding back so much annoyance, I wanted to strangle her until Arae ran out of breath but it seems unlikely that would happen because she is one of the strongest creatures.

We only came here to be insulted and insulted by this creature, she is useless!

"Alright, you said it." Arae said and then looked at me. "I won't report Karma." She said while looking at me.

She also knew my name in the past, she is really very strong.

"We're leaving, if you're not going to help us, you better keep quiet." I said bitterly and then turned away.

"But Ksara--" Cynrad couldn't finish what he was going to say when I pulled him away.

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA the devils are the ones who always think highly of themselves." Arae said so my eyes narrowed. I can't hold back!

"You think highly of yourselves but you have no sense." On this occasion, I quickly rushed towards her causing the monsters around Cynrad and me to be alarmed.

I immediately choked her and firmly stuck her to where she was going to sit.

"You're making fun of me Arae." I said, she just grinned at me as I choked her.

"I humbled myself to come here to ask for your help but what you said. I can no longer wonder why you can't leave this place no matter what you do, because even heaven and earth do not accept you. " When I said that, she slapped her tail hard on my back causing me to let go of her.

She quickly got on top of me and choked me but I didn't lose because I aimed my sharp nails at her heart.

"Ksara!" Cynrad called me worried but I ignored him.

"Your in my territory stupid, I can kill you if I want to." Arae said sharply to me, I grinned.

"Then do it." I said so her eyes widened. "If you don't, you're even weaker than I thought." I said sharply, she was about to snatch the knife I was holding from me when I quickly dropped it and wound her in the face causing her to become even more angry. I immediately kicked her away from me and flew towards Cynrad. I immediately put him on my back and before Arae threw the knife he was holding, I injured her hand causing her to let go of the knife she was holding.

"Until again, Arae." I said and started flying away from her place. But even before we got out of the portal, I heard the words she let out.

"I swear Karma, you will never be happy and you will never be with the man you want!"
