The Devil Who Grants Wishes - Chapter 239



239 – Story of Love (5)

“First of all, as a servant of Her Majesty Princess Capulet, I would like to apologize. Upon hearing this, the young lady did not show any manners and went to the Montague House without hesitation. They said something like this will not happen in the future.”

Ugh… It’s not my personality to talk in such a twisted way, but it’s so annoying.

Still, if you have to secure Juliet’s position without using brainwashing, you have to force yourself to do it because it is essential.

“…Okay, accept the apology.”

Fortunately, Romeo’s father seemed to understand me very well. Juliet over there and Romeo standing next to Juliet didn’t seem to understand the situation properly, but the servants except for those two immediately realized what their father’s answer meant.

So now, Romeo’s father recognizes Juliet as a nobleman. Well, since she is originally a noble, there is nothing to acknowledge and brag about, but it is important that she is recognized as a noble, an equal negotiating partner.

Didn’t you just accept the apology without any disagreement with what I said while apologizing?

Accepting my apology means that from now on, you can enter the Montague family mansion as long as you show courtesy. There is no problem with interpreting that etiquette as etiquette in a different sense, and entering the mansion in a different sense.

I think it may have been overinterpreted from a general perspective, but this is the way a nobleman speaks. If you make an affirmation or speak too bluntly, you may get caught politically later or be challenged to a duel right away.

“You, too, can’t wait to apologize to His Majesty Montague.”

“Ah, yes… No, yes.”

Juliet knows of course that my true identity is the devil, and for a moment she tries to give me her honorific address, but she soon realizes the role she has played and quickly turns to protest, and she agrees with my words. .

After letting Romeo, who was hugging her, drop for a moment, she adjusts her dress and bows her head to apologize to Romeo’s father. Romeo’s father silently watches Juliet apologize, then closes his eyes for a moment and opens his mouth, accepting Juliet’s apology.

“…I too have been too much, I’m sorry.”

Romeo’s father clearly regards Juliet as a nobleman equal to himself and treats her as the head of the Capulet family.

Although I have only heard of her and not seen her in person, she is very different from the way Juliet has been treated as a commoner girl with only a little nobleness.

Is this why you have to have the power and look at it?

Now that Juliet seems to have a lot of wealth, she no longer treats her like she used to.

Of course, it’s not that he’s doing this simply because he looks rich, but it’s probably because he’s polite in his own way like an aristocrat, unlike before… Anyway, I was a little embarrassed when Romeo and his father fought, but I got the first step perfectly. .

…………

[From what I can tell so far, the Montague family is already well-established politically. If we try to make a new partner here, the political balance established by Montague will only be broken.]

[I know that if new power is added, the balance may be broken. However, the moment the added new power is controlled and a new balance is achieved, Montague’s power will become even stronger.]

[But isn’t it an adventure that carries some risk? As the Montague family’s position is not low enough to require risk, it is more beneficial for the Montague family to expand its power surely and gradually. And above all… Shouldn’t love have a heart?]

[You are truly loyal. It would be nice if I had a vassal like you.]

Romeo’s conversation with his father was truly long. It feels as if the words he had never been able to say to Juliet were spoken to me instead.

No, it’s not a feeling, it’s actually true.

Juliet was too young, her attitude as an aristocrat did not suit her, and she was ultimately too humble, so to be honest, she was not fit to talk to each other.

[I guess it’s okay.]

[Are you okay?]

[She has obediently accepted what you have said so far, so why are you suddenly doing this again? Even if I tried to stop her, she wouldn’t listen anyway, given her personality, but there’s no reason to stop her when she says she’s going to marry a woman from a noble family and not a commoner.]

Even thinking about it now, it’s still funny.

In the end, it is true that he gave permission to Juliet because of her wealth, but to save her face, he forcefully cited her son’s love as the reason… For better or for worse, he is truly aristocratic. .

Anyway, it ended well this time too.

Juliet did not walk around being watched by Montague’s servants as she had done before, but she walked proudly with Romeo, showing off her love to all around her.

Juliet’s expression seemed to embody the words joy and happiness, and Romeo was also very happy to have her love recognized, and boasted of their love to her servants.

“It’s about time.”

“… “

However, when night fell and it was time for me to return, Romeo’s expression became one of all kinds of despair, as if it had never been like that before.

Every outline of her face is shaking, as if it will collapse at the slightest touch.

“Demon. Can’t you accept me as the price…?”

“Romeo?”

And Romeo, who was making that expression, soon gritted his molars, then buried his head in me and said that.

Juliet must have been very embarrassed by Romeo’s sudden behavior and tried to stop Romeo by waving her hands in the air, but Romeo was unwavering. It just keeps banging its head towards me.

“It is enough to show off to everyone our love that has not been recognized until now. However, taking Juliet’s life for that is too much, so please take my life in exchange for it.”

“Your thinking and decisions are really quick.”

“Thank you for the compliment.”

“It’s not a compliment.”

Ignoring Romeo, who is banging his head, he slowly walks out and stands in front of the window.

The moon is quite bright, so the room is bright. Well, even if there is no moonlight, there is candlelight, so it doesn’t necessarily feel that great.

“You’re so self-conscious.”

“Yes?”

“Even if you made their love come true, do you think you can make up such an overwhelming amount of wealth with just your soul? Even if one person dies with a pickaxe, you can still collect that much wealth. “You won’t be able to do it.”

“Yes…? But Juliet’s soul-“

“The same goes for Juliet’s soul.”

“ㅡugh…”

Romeo must have guessed something bad while he was talking, but his face turns pitch black in an instant. You don’t have to read my mind to know that it seems like he thinks I’ll do something more cruel to get something in return. It can be seen in their facial expressions, tone of voice, and body language.

Wow, this is really fun.

Until now, all my wishes had been annoying, but I realized too late that I could do something like this.

I want to tease him a little more, but… It’s late at night, so my wife won’t like it if I stay any longer than this. Let’s go back soon.

“The price… Okay, I guess it’ll be 3% interest per year.”

“Yes?”

“It will be difficult to find the same product as the one I gave you, so you may pay with items available around here. However, the value of collectibles such as art or antiques is excluded. The price is made up of only gold and silver. “It must be precious metal currency or jewelry.”

Romeo’s face, which was looking at me with a despairing expression, is colored with doubt.

I mean, I would have never dreamed that such a word would suddenly appear here.

“Why do you do that? Since you gave wealth, shouldn’t you receive wealth in return for the causal relationship to be correct? Love? That’s just considered a service.”

“No, that’s not it, then what about the soul…”

“I’ve never once said anything about receiving a soul in return. Above all, even if I had a soul in the first place, what would I use it for? Is it even possible to create so many riches out of thin air with a soul? Oh my god, such a thing? “If you can do it, no one will sweat.”

In reality, people who don’t want to work hard summon the devil and make a deal with their souls, but that’s not important right now, so I don’t need to say it.

The story suddenly progresses so quickly that Romeo and Juliet cannot follow the flow of the conversation.

The feelings of despair and sadness disappear in an instant and are soon replaced by embarrassment. I’m so embarrassed that I don’t know whether to be happy or not.

“I’ll come back occasionally to see if I can repay the interest later. That’s enough.”

“Now, wait a minute-“

Open the portal to the house and then enter the portal, ignoring what is grabbing you from behind.

Is it finally time to let out feelings of joy and hope instead of panic? What a sweetheart.

After the great storm called Faust disappeared, the reaction brought an overwhelming level of silence to Romeo and Juliet’s room.

The two remaining lovers look at each other’s faces in confusion.

I don’t know whether I should be happy or embarrassed, but one thing is certain.

That no one will lose their life here and now.

Romeo and Juliet can continue their love even after this time.

aaah!!

When Romeo realizes that fact, his body moves freely and embraces Juliet. Juliet is slightly taken aback by the sudden embrace, but she soon relaxes and entrusts her body to Romeo.

“I’m glad… I’m really glad…”

“Uh, yeah…”

“You can’t call the devil again, okay?”

“Okay…”

Even though no one is watching, Juliet, who is feeling extremely embarrassed, blushes and responds to Romeo’s orders and his foolish behavior at the same time.

Once the traces of the portal created by Faust have completely disappeared, the two head to bed in a familiar manner, as if they had already talked about it in advance. Even though no one spoke up first.

‘I guess we’ll have to talk later.’

And Aigoceros, who was secretly watching it, sighs.

As such a flower-headed lover cannot properly afford the 3% interest, Aigokerus, under orders from Faust, came to help them manage their property, but unfortunately, it seems that now is not the time.

Aigokeros immediately shook his head and just took a walk around the area until the two of them finished their mission, no, until the next morning came.
