Chương 15: Chapter : 15 Convinced Her
After Skele re-entered the Ring Space, a familiar voice disrupted the quiet atmosphere. Ebonfang lounged in a deck chair, sipping juice and relishing the beach-like scenery he conjured.
"You are really evil," Ebonfang remarked, acknowledging Skele's presence.
"Evil? I merely showed him a vision of his dark future to get his mind at right track," Skele defended.
"Vision? It sounds more like manipulation. Sometimes I wonder if I'm more evil or you," Ebonfang quipped casually, continuing to enjoy the serene setting.
Confused, Skele questioned Ebonfang's motives for hiding in this space. "Why didn't you tell him you're all good?"
Ebonfang shot a narrowed gaze at Skele, declaring, "Why should he know whether I'm good or not? And don't you dare tell him." The mysterious aura around Ebonfang added to the intrigue of his intentions.

Sitting in his room, Darian had his breakfast brought to him by Emilie. As Darian asked Emilie about Sirzechs daily life, During their brief conversation, Emilie shared insights into Sirzechs's daily routine, revealing that she was usually engrossed in her work, with her leisure time dedicated to family.
In simple terms, Sirzechs was a workaholic.
Once Emilie departed to attend to other tasks at the castle, Darian remained seated on his bed, haunted by the unsettling vision that had plagued his mind. Skele's warnings about his relationship with Sirzechs echoed in his thoughts.
"What Skele said is true. Sirzechs has never made an effort to visit me, not even once. Even when I ventured out of my room, she never sought me out on her own. It's evident she doesn't harbor any romantic feelings for me," Darian muttered, grappling with the complexities of his connection with Sirzechs.
"But then, Emilie mentioned that Sirzechs did visit occasionally when I was confined to my room. What does that signify?" he pondered, dissecting the nuances of their dynamic.
"It's possible she views me simply as a normal man, her caring gestures merely stemming from a natural instinct to tend to someone in need. What I need to do now is cultivate her feelings for me, starting with a small date," Darian resolved, devising his strategy to win over his beloved wife and not let that haunting Visions become true.
Darian stepped out of his room, striding purposefully, made his way toward the room where he had previously encountered Sirzechs. However, his progress was interrupted when he spotted Ajuka emerging from Sirzechs' quarters.
" That bastard Coming to meet my wife early morning, Seriously just let me get stronger i will surely Cut his dick " Darian muttered under his breath his intense and murderous gaze directed at Ajuka.
Suddenly a voice called out breaking his murderous intent as he turned to around to see Emilie.
Ajuka on the other hand felt the murderous intent and turned his head towards the source direction but saw Darian talking to a maid " Was that murderous Aura?" He wondered, Contemplating the intense vibe that came from the direction where Darian stood.
"Maybe I'm thinking too much. It's just that weakling and the maid. I should get some sleep," Ajuka reassured himself, sighing.
As he hadn't even slept just to meet Sirzechs, as she doesn't allow anyone to disturb her when she is working so he had waited whole night so he could just talk to her, Well of course Sirzechs didn't know about this.
" Maybe it's true Love can make you do anything," Ajuka mused, a smile playing on his lips as he left the scene.
While conversing with Emilie and receiving news of Buford's arrival, Darian instructed her to have Buford wait in his room. Then, he proceeded to Sirzechs' room, gently knocking before entering.
"Come in," came the soft reply from within, prompting Darian to enter with a polite smile.
"I hope I'm not disturbing you," he offered courteously, his gaze fixed on Sirzechs, who was engrossed in her work.
"It's fine. Is there anything you want to say?" Sirzechs responded, her attention still tethered to the files spread before her.
Deciding to take a seat, Darian asked, "Then can I take a seat and take some of your time?" Sirzechs glanced at him, granting permission.
As Sirzechs glanced up, locking eyes with Darian, he felt a surge of nervousness course through him. Her gaze, soft yet intense, held a captivating power, drawing him in like a moth to a flame.
Lost in the depths of her eyes, As Darian shook his head to snap out of his daze, he realized he could lose himself in her eyes for hours without getting bored .The beauty and soothing effect of her gaze dispelled his anger and frustration.
In that moment, a realization dawned on Darian. Was this the reason why Ajuka visited Sirzechs daily? Despite the thought, Darian's determination to win Sirzechs' affection only intensified.
"She is mine, Ajuka. You can't have her," Darian resolved silently, his resolve solidifying as he vowed to claim Sirzechs' heart for his own.
As Darian got lost in his Lovey dovey daydreams, Sirzechs observed him with a mix of curiosity and confusion.
"What did you want to say?" Sirzechs' gentle voice interrupted Darian's thoughts, bringing him back to reality.
"Uh, sorry... I just wanted to know if you're free today or sometime soon," Darian asked, a hopeful smile on his face.
"Free time? I don't think I have any free schedule for this week; I have lots of work to do. But why do you ask?" Sirzechs inquired, her tone innocent yet curious.
"Oh, that's sad. I just came out of my room recently, so I thought of going somewhere out to have some fun. But, you know, going alone is boring, so I thought you could accompany me," Darian explained, his voice trailing off as he awaited Sirzechs' response.
And the reason he didn't tell her directly it was a date because it could increase the chances of rejection. So, he started with another excuse to take her out without revealing his true intentions.
"But it seems like you're busy. Don't worry; I can go alone," Darian said, disappointment and sadness evident on his face as he rose to leave. However, he paused as Sirzechs called out to him.
"Wait... I think I can accompany you today. I do have some time now; I just didn't realize. Give me 50 minutes, and then we can go," Sirzechs suddenly accepted Darian's offer.
"Nice," Darian muttered under his breath, relief washing over him.
"Really, thank you so much. I'll wait in my room. Just call me when you're ready," Darian said, leaving the room with a childlike smile. But as he stepped outside, his smile transformed into a smirk.
"It's finally done. I guess having a handsome face brings lots of perks. In my previous life, I might have been rejected, but this time, my little acting worked," Darian mused, bewildered by his stroke of luck that he didn't had in his past life.
Meanwhile, in her quarters, Sirzechs called out to Grafiya, who soon arrived and stood before her like a polite maid.
"Is there anything Maou-sama needs?" Grafiya inquired in her customary polite tone.
"Come on, Grayfia, don't act like that, at least not in front of me," Sirzechs retorted, feeling irritated by Grafiya's overly formal demeanor, especially considering their long-standing friendship and shared battles.
"Sorry, Maou-sama, but I can't help it," Grafiya replied, teasing Sirzechs lightly with her response.
Sighing at Grafiya's behavior, Sirzechs decided to make an unusual request. "Grafiya, can you cancel all the work appointments for today?" she asked, pushing aside the open files before her.
Grafiya, curious and sensing that something was amiss since Sirzechs rarely skipped work unless it was something serious, couldn't help but ask, "Is there something wrong?"
"What? No... Darian said he is going out somewhere to have some fresh air, so he asked me to accompany him," Sirzechs explained in a monotone voice as she rose from her chair.
"Bring the pending work for tomorrow. I'm going to take a shower," Sirzechs added before leaving the room.
Grayfia, feeling both confused and shocked by the sudden change in Sirzechs' routine, contemplated, "Is this a date?"
