Bel wakes up in the boy's body in the luminance light of the moon.
He raised his head.
"So, this was your wish, huh?"
As soon as I saw the reflection that was clear due to moonlight the I lost my pride. I lost everything. The person or a thing or desire inside me that drove me mad against humanity was melted within seconds.
I couldn't help but tear up a bit, as the humans called when they got sad. It was mixture overwhelming when I came to see my m'lady Lilith, the mother of all demons.
But it wasn't a dark and killing type of overwhelming feeling, was a bubbly and nerve-wracking type of feeling. I asked myself even though he couldn't answer, "Why? why a thing like me, borne of malice and desires?"
There was a swift change in the win, and as the tears unknowingly followed from my humane eyes, I heard a whisper.
It was a curse to myself, "Borne of blood and demons, trampling the weak and evil desires, you must seek downfall or you shall never cherish or blossom, with the sins of the great demon" These words were uttered very slowly.
I couldn't respond or even talk back.
I, as a human, now could feel. But the swiftness of the wind got vanished, it was melodramatic all of a sudden, Colourful, and sweet aroma of cherry blossom began to flow through.
As a faint voice said, "It's alright, It was never a fault to give you what's mine, aren't we friends already?" The boy's voice ranged.
The boy and Diana are gone now.
I wiped my tears stood up in this fragile body and said Wait, I will fulfill your dreams and desires, every single one.
I swear upon the name of the great Demon of sloth, Belphégor, I will take revenge on the demons and will give you your back after I kill myself."
There was no response.
And to achieve my goal, I need to regain my power. I shall save Diana's soul and this boy's soul myself.
I don't deserve such things.
I have done atrocious things to these creatures. I, one of the seventh princes of hell, shall leave the hell and bring back hell upon those who killed me. I will attain more power than I deserve, for I am the one who will bring destruction toward Lilith and my brothers.
And I, myself cannot kill myself. As a demonic creature, I was practically immortal in my previous body but I could be killed easily in this body.
I need a strong divine mana to pierce my soul to death and then I will be able e give this body back to the boy.
Due to this heavy injury on my soul, I can only use a little bit of my dense mana.
I walked and walked, down the mountains, down the streams, the dawn was upon me.
Then I saw that peasant family, a hardworking man, the boy's father, and two children, and a kind woman.

I could sense others' desires up to sense.
Even though I could see their desire it was not compared to other people that the boy's body was raised in.
So, there is a curse planted on this body!
I went upon the family.
The mother put her hands on her hips, "Did you forget that I told you to come before dark?"
She was waiting around the front gate.
"I'm sorry, Mum," I told her as she led me inside.
Am I deceiving them? It is not me, I am not the boy they raised.
"Don't do that, alright?" She replied as she patted my back hard, pushing me forward.
And, I got a "family."
Ivy and Yuki were angry with me before but they asked so many questions as soon as I got home.
"did you get lost or did those bullies annoy you again?"
Ivy said in an aggressive tone while putting her hands on her waist.
"No--
Before I could finish my sentence, I got tapped from behind.
It was Mother, she hugged me rather immediately.
"It's okay, son. Bad times fly very quickly."
I felt nothing for a moment but the body responded. I hugged back. It was warm.
Truly warm. I, for the first time, felt satisfied. I became soft for a second. The warmth was different from mother Lilith. It was not with malice but with something else. It made my heart skip a beat, It felt rushed.
It felt something new. I could feel my human heart pumping blood.
"Oh, Now, I have a human heart that beats"
But it is not mine. I shouldn't have lived.
And then the twin sisters hugged me from the back sides,
"where have you been, Brother?"
"The gift you promised was pretty so don't cry!"
Ivy looked at me and Yuki hugged me as well.
It became warmer I became a little sensitive I opened my mouth subconsciously and said, "I'm sorry I couldn't find a better one, but after I get the money, I will help you two, okay?"
they replied "Uhmhm" while grinning.
I don't deserve this.
I cannot feel any connection between--
And suddenly I felt a strong shoulder that hugged me from the back, it became bubbly and truly warm. My blood pressure rose, serotonin began and I unconsciously grinned.
I replied, 'I'm back.'
It was fake but let there be no brief conflict within me.
Then, my mother kissed my forehead and my father Patted my head. Even though it wasn't real, I felt more than anything.
I never felt such things as my magic cannot affect people's mentality. Ever since I was a prince, I had never felt such happiness and affection before that much that it felt so real but I felt happiness as I couldn't stop myself from grinning.
And then, I looked into their name, The mother was named Sei Silver with a gorgeous but a bit wrinkled face and silver hair and the father was Zeltian Silver with black hair.
The twins were very cute today too. As soon as I enter this boy's body, I seem to cherish these four a lot.
They must be 2 years younger than this boy's body. This boy must be at the age of 15.
Seeing my malnourished body, the mother could not speak anything.
After that, I was dragged inside.
I was first bathed by my father.
Then, The twins taught me to brush my teeth while laughing.
"Why can't you even do it yourself brother?" said Ivy giggling.
"Right? right?" said Yuki.
It suddenly reminded me of my two subordinates.
So I patted the heads of those two and said "Aren't you going to help your poor brother?"
Those two looked at me surprised and apologized.
"I said it was fine."
I, for the first tied with my family.
I felt for the first time that "Fake" is just a word.
It was way better than with Mother Lilith and the other seven brothers.
It was dinner time. I got dressed as usual. I tried very hard to not do something weird.
I slowly walked to the kitchen.
All of them were waiting for me.
The father is on the corner and the farthest chair. Mother by his side.
I sat down right opposite Ivy and Yuki but they wanted to sit with me. So, They rushed to my side.
"Come, we're hungry!" father spoke.
I am still not too adjusted to the body. Will they find out? Will I not be an outcast again, if such occurs?
....
...
....
"what are you thinking? Yuki shoved broccolini in my mouth."
"Hey Don't do that Mother replied.
"I don't mind, I replied. Instantly Ivy also shoved a broccoli in my mouth "Me too!" in a faint voice.
They burst out laughing.
I forgot everything for a moment and enjoyed a moment too.
Then after dinner, my sisters showed me my room. I said goodnight to everyone.
When I entered the room, after a few minutes, I grabbed my chest as it was hurting like pinning a nail on a wall.
I am not deserving. I need to regain control over myself before... I need to end this.
I need to make the thing I wished for, true.
Bel's chest pain slowly calms down, he lays his back against the wall and slowly slides down the wall.
