TAPED 15

Chapter 15 

“I-I’m not going to talk to you anymore.”

But that resolve didn’t even last five minutes.

“Still, we should destroy the Crimson Gem…”

At that repetitive conversation, Herace gave a crooked smile and warned,

“Ban, it would be best if you didn’t think about interfering.”

“…Why would I bother interfering?”

Just look at those eyes—who would dare say anything?

‘He’s half-mad after 500 years. Like hell I’m going to mess with him.’

Ban pulled the blanket up to his chin and muttered,

“If your restriction disappears, I can return to the Demon Realm too. Not a bad deal.”

He had been in the human world for quite a long time. He couldn’t stay here forever.

If Herace’s restriction were lifted, Ban could finally wrap up this long journey as well.

Given the situation, the only option was to actively help Herace break the seal.

The only problem was that his master seemed too weak and unreliable.

Well, this won’t do. Looks like the great Ban will have to protect her.

‘I don’t like that she’s Agab’s descendant, but she doesn’t seem that bad.’

She was a hundred times better than those annoying pests who always begged for this and that.

And besides, she was the only human who could release Herace’s restriction.

In this case, the best plan was to maintain this relationship for as long as possible.

“You should keep an eye on Sienna too. If some strange thing that covets her power latches on, it’ll be a headache.”

Greedy ones might reach out dangerous hands toward Sienna just to get Herace.

“She doesn’t look well either. What if something serious happens?”

“I don’t care.”

“Yeah, of course you don’t care—wait, what?! You don’t care? She’s so weak she’d topple over if someone brushed against her! You need to protect her!”

Ban, who had been angrily ranting about not letting that small girl die, suddenly froze.

“Before anyone can lay a hand on Sienna—”

Herace slowly ran his tongue over his lips.

“I’ll just kill them.”

His eyes gleamed dangerously.
