Bride of the Great Demon King

"The so-called happiness, although everyone's definition is different, but if it can be obtained without a little effort, it will not be cherished. This is the same for demons and humans.

——by Mirror Witch Camilla"

……

"What do you call me? Say it again, please? I didn't hear clearly just now." The devil asked casually while following the footsteps of the maid.Judging from the direction the maid walked, their destination was likely to be a solid three-story building.White hot air came out of the chimney, mixed with the aroma of lamb chops.Compared with the surrounding buildings, the owner of this house is obviously much richer.

"Miss Sephilia, aren't you Miss Sephilia from the village chief's family? Miss Mensa? My dear lady, what's wrong with you? Are you confused by the wind? Why don't you even have your own name? Remember? If the master finds out that you sneaked off to sleep on the haystack again, the master will definitely be furious!" The maid looked at Mensa with some concern.

"It's okay, if you don't tell me how he would know." The devil indifferently pulled a piece of hay that slipped through the net from the button. He didn't think that a mere hay that came out of nowhere might be regarded as having any connection with him What's the big deal about human anger.

"Oh, yes. Of course, I won't tell the master. But the young lady comes back from the city very rarely, and if you delay dinner any longer, the master will be very angry."

"Okay, okay, I promise not to let 'Master' lose his temper with anyone." Mensa pushed the door open, ignoring the surprised expression on the maid's face when she heard him address him. "Who is that... Bastian?" Even though he was born with rough nerves, Mensa realized that this place might not be an ordinary human village.After all, no human being can call out a demon's name when he first sees him.

"Who is Mr. Bastian, you ask me? Oh! Miss Sephilia, it seems that you must have been caught cold by the wind." The maid adjusted Mensa's clothes and pushed him into the dining room, and finally whispered in his ear He whispered, "I'll bring you a bowl of hot soup after dinner, please be sure to drink it all up. By the way, Mr. Bastian is your brother-in-law. Although he actually wanted to propose to you at the beginning, but in the end Or married your sister by mistake."

"Ah?!" The devil opened his mouth wide in surprise.

The door was closed behind him, so he had no chance to ask clearly.Well, maybe just ask the person directly what's going on.Ever since her eyes fell on the man with the sharp ears, she couldn't move her eyes away.The smile on the Hellhound's face was both polite and unfamiliar, giving the demon a sudden bad feeling.

"Sefia, my poor little sister, don't you think it's impolite not only to be late but also to stare at your brother-in-law like this? Words?"

Mensa reluctantly shifted his eyes to the woman next to Bastian, and suddenly laughed out of breath.ha!Any succubus is ten thousand times more beautiful than this woman, even if the hell hound really wants to find someone to pass the time, it is definitely not this sharp-mouthed monkey-cheeked monkey!

"Sefia, don't laugh, sit here, you have already delayed our dinner for half an hour." The middle-aged man sitting in the host's seat frowned and spoke.

This time the devil laughed even more.If what this wicked-eyed man is trying to show is majesty, then he would rather wring his head off and feed it to the Hell Rabbit!It is simply a typical human being who bullies the weak, fears the hard and is greedy.Hmm... The same buck teeth make the father and daughter look very similar.

"Hey! Hello everyone!" Mensa walked to the seat opposite Bastian and sat down, raised his eyebrows after picking up the knife and fork, "What are you waiting for? If I guessed correctly, there should be a lamb tonight Shall we go?" Blessed by the Son of Darkness, he could finally have dinner.

The middle-aged man's complexion was already hard to see to a certain extent. Just when Mensa thought he would be lucky enough to see the purplest face in human history, probably because he was still concerned about the presence of outsiders, he finally waved his hand to signal the start of dinner.

"So, how long is Mr. Bastian going to stay here this time?" When the main course was served, the middle-aged man finally recovered his amiable expression.

"Half a month, or longer, it should be after the New Year!" Bastian smiled at the woman beside him, "Of course, it depends on Amelia's wishes. For those troublesome timber business , I haven't accompanied her home for two years!"

hell!A hell hound who knows how to do lumber!The Summoner swallowed the whole lamb chop in one gulp.

He gave Mensa a hard look, but found that his gaze had completely lost its due effect on the "daughter". The middle-aged man had no choice but to continue the topic resentfully: "So, is the timber business going well? I mean, I heard Said that you have become the largest timber purchaser in this area?"

"As long as the king is still obsessed with architectural art, may the God of Light bless him, my market will be guaranteed. You know that the wood here is of the best quality in the country." Bastian said while handing the pepper shaker to his side Woman, "It's even more fortunate that my only competitor finally decided to give up wasting time in this field after receiving a letter from my cousin. Oh, I mean when I was a royal architectural consultant in Wangdu cousin."

"Of course! I know him, the most talented architect in the country, and the king's most trusted partner. Cheers to his health!" The middle-aged man happily raised his glass, feeling once again that he was in the middle of a titled fool and a The choice between wealthy businessmen with wrists is very wise.Of course, it would be even better if my youngest daughter didn't regret her marriage and was willing to marry that idiot.

"Cheers!" Bastian and the women around him raised their glasses kindly, but Mensa was still struggling with the third lamb chop with his head down.

Supper passed in harmony and minor embarrassments (mostly from some demon with a growing grudge).After dinner, the servants led the family members who occasionally came back to visit relatives to the newly renovated room, and Mensa was ordered to go back to the room to reflect.Of course, the cunning demon did not intend to obey the arrangements of mere human beings.Turning out the house from the window, the demon began to look for the companion's room.

"Uh...uuuu..."

When his mouth was suddenly covered from behind, Mensa bumped his elbow back without thinking.Then……

The devil was so painful that tears almost fell down.sky!This guy is as hard as iron!Mensa turned around and glared at the innocent Hellhound.

"What are you doing?"

"Dear Miss Sephilia, I don't think this is a good time for a walk."

Immediately frightened by the Hellhound's tone of voice, Mensa asked with trembling lips: "What's wrong with you? Do you remember me? Bastian? You... um... um... let go... bastard! Lie Am I fun?!" Punching the Hellhound's chest, the demon wiped his lips with the back of his hand.

"Hush——" Wrapping the furry devil in his arms, Bastian smiled and kissed his forehead, "If I forget my master, I'd rather go to heaven! Don't be so loud, listen to me , it’s not because of me that this happened.”

"What did Camilla do here?" Mensa frowned suddenly.

"Worse than that, we're afraid we've fallen into her mirror maze."

"Mirror maze?"

"The mirror witch Camilla's proud work, I have heard people explain its function. This maze of mirrors is completely blank at the beginning, once someone falls into the maze, it will produce corresponding changes. How? To put it another way, people who fall into the labyrinth are not so much unable to find a way out, but rather do not want to find a way out, and sink into this false world forever."

"What do you mean?"

Bastian raised his head and thought about it for a moment: "That is to say, the maze will extract information from the memory of the person who fell into the maze, and then find a breakthrough point from it to create a false memory of happiness that is easy to indulge. Those trapped never want to leave here."

"So we are now in the memory of that young master?" No wonder it is a human village.Mensa once inquired about the origin of Bailiel out of curiosity.After understanding this point, the summoner couldn't help but asked suspiciously: "Then does he still remember us?"

"I'm afraid that when the mirror maze started working, his memory was stuck where the copied memory started. Apparently, we didn't interact with him when he was human."

"Damn it! Then how do we get him out? Find him and break the maze by force?"

"Only the first person who falls into the maze can find the way out. This is also one of the rules of the mirror maze." Bastian smiled suddenly, "But fortunately, the person who told me the rules of the mirror maze once analyzed , this maze can only be used by one person, once a second person enters, a gap will appear in the maze."

"Gap?"

"Yes, it can be said that the mirror maze can only trap two people at most. The mirror maze itself will also be confused when the second person falls into the maze. It will have to change part of the world to accommodate the memory of the second person , such as assigning an identity to the second person in the world of the first person. But because the time cannot be unified, it will not be able to erase the memory of the second person. At the same time, this also makes the world of the first person appear different Reasonable place. If there is a third person falling in, the labyrinth has to give up making traps against him, otherwise the irrationality of the world will become irreparable. This is the biggest weakness of the mirror labyrinth."

"The second person... Wait! The second person you are talking about is me, right? But you also have an identity here!"

"Although we came here almost at the same time, there is no doubt that you are regarded as a second person by the mirror maze. Haven't you found out? My identity was determined because of your thoughts. The maze has no power to use my memory to set new traps."

My identity is an inexplicable young lady, and Bastian's identity is... my brother-in-law?This identity comes from my own consciousness, what is this, what is this?The demon was in complete disarray.

"My dear master, you always seem to think that someone will stand between the two of us. But according to the rules of the maze, the next thing is for the kind sister to defeat the vicious sister and the greedy father, and steal the brother-in-law." Basty An smiled and stroked Mensa's hair, her eyes suddenly became very soft, she lowered her head and sniffed the devil's neck, "So taking me back from others is the happiness you want?"

The deep voice of the Hellhound was like a heavy hammer hitting the devil's heart. The shame of being seen through and the long-term anxiety were mixed together, making the devil lose the strength to even move his fingers.Then, the almost stiff body relaxed again when he heard the next sentence.

"There is no need to be in the mirror maze at all, I am already yours."
