The Villain Family’s New Daughter-In-Law - Chapter 164
Dressed in a black suit and sitting diagonally on the purple bed that came floating down, Kizef was so handsome that her heart raced from the start.
Garnet-like red eyes were fixed on Luciel without losing their light in the dark.
His golden hair fluttered in the wind. Each and every facial feature was like a delicately carved feature on a perfect sculpture that made it impossible to take your eyes off it.
Luciel said while raising her crimson eyes wide open.
“Kizef?”
“……Hi.”
“What is all this? It’s really pretty.”
“I’m showing you how I feel.”
Kizef smiled brightly and handed Luciel a bouquet made by weaving light purple lilacs. As Luciel took the bouquet, he reached out his hand, grabbed hers tightly, and then pulled it.
“Come here.”
“What……where are we going?”
Luciel, who had been pulled up to the bed at once, was so frightened that she clung close to Kizef.
“Let’s go see the stars.”
“Star……?”
The light in his serious eyes shone like a star. His well-groomed, straight lips rose nicely.
Luciel quietly poked her nose in his bouquet in embarrassment. The scent of lilac wafted through. The bed with the two of them floated up again.
When she thought that the stars were close enough to be caught, the bed slowly began to fly in the sky.
Luciel opened her mouth and blankly looked at the view. On an enchantingly quiet night, the twinkling stars were even more beautiful.
“I can see better from here.”
“……It’s not as scary as you think, right?”
Nod. Nod.
Luciel glanced up at his handsome face. It wasn’t scary. There were many other things that bothered her more than that.
Ba-dum.
Her heart was beating nonstop like a drum, and the stars in the night sky and the boy in front of her were nothing less than magical wonder.
The words in Kizef’s letter floated in her head, and his hands were warm.
However, she did not create any jewels even though she felt overwhelming emotions, perhaps because she was too nervous.
Luciel said.
“The letter and the balloons…….And now this view that’s like a dream. it’s impressive. But what do you want to say?”
“……You still don’t know? You are terribly dull.”
As Luciel chimed in, Kizef let out a long sigh. Then he hit a light flick on her forehead.
“Why do you think I did it, Luciel.”
“……What?”
“…….”
Kizef, who was staring at her without a word, deepened his gaze and took her hand.
“Because I like you.”
“……?”
“I like you.”
Luciel’s heart pounded louder when she heard Kizef’s confession, which he delivered without hesitation.
It was the first sincere confession she received from someone. Luciel was happy, even more so because that person was Kizef.
She was also worried about what to do. It was clear that she was attracted to Kizef, but she could not fully define this feeling.
So she was even more careful.
Although Kizef was more precious than anyone else, she did not want to make a hasty decision. She didn’t want to get hurt.
Luciel also needed a little more time to come to understand her own feelings.
‘I like Kizef too. But I don’t know if I really have the same feelings as him. It’s the first time I’ve felt this way……I don’t want to hurt him by answering lightly. Especially since he really seems to be thinking of getting married and being together forever.’
From the outset, it was a marriage contract she had made for the sake of safety and to prevent future ruin for herself and Bellstein.
And there were still unresolved issues.
“Kizef, but we have a contract…….”
Kizef also knew she would give that excuse. He gently glanced at Luciel and spoke in a harsh but firm tone.
“The contract doesn’t matter anymore. Luciel. You are already my bride.”
“After eight years, the contract ends. That……you said it.”
As Luciel carefully spoke, Keith sighed again, had a small laugh, and glistened cold eyes.
“Then are you going to run away from me after 8 years?”
“Well, that’s not it, we both decided that way.”
“Do you think you can run away from me? It’s no use.”
For a moment, Kizef’s eyes narrowed like that of a beast, and the corners of his mouth grew strangely long. His lips touched Luciel’s silver hair and her heart was beating like crazy.
Luciel seemed to understand one thing. No matter what kind of heart he had, it is already impossible to get rid of him.
“Eight years later, then, let’s do the same things.”
“……What?”
Luciel tilted her head as she asked, and Kizef looked into her eyes to say.
“Marry me again.”
Luciel’s eyes grew as big as a rabbit’s, and at the same time, her head was jumbled up.
“……Wait a minute, Kizef, I……hup?”

Before Luciel could speak, he covered her mouth with his hand.
If I force Luciel to get married now, she may not have been able to recognize my heart, this little snow rabbit may really run away.
“For now, just listen to it. I’ll come back to hear that answer in 5 years. Think slowly. Anyway, until 8 years pass, we are a couple.”
Five out of eight years they would be apart, but he wouldn’t let Luciel’s heart fall on someone else.
It’s enough time for a child to become a young lady. He didn’t know how bright and pretty Luciel would become, or how sweet her smile would grow.
Still, Kizef drove the nail so hard that Luciel didn’t know what to do.
Her head is questioning if he really is feeling that way, but her heart is unwittingly directed at him.
Luciel, who mustered up the courage, frankly said.
“Like you said, I can’t give you any answers right now. I also don’t know if I like you as a man or not. Marriage is not an answer right now. But when I’m with you, I keep making these.”
Along with a chime-like sound, Luciel created a dazzling and brilliant spinel. Her cheeks turned pink, but Luciel raised her head and spoke of her answer while giving him the jewel.
“For now be satisfied with this instead of having an answer.”
Kizef’s eyes narrowed softly.
“All right, you don’t need to answer me now, Luciel. I will wait for your heart to become like mine.”
“Thanks…….”
Kizef’s eyes folded gently as he hugged Luciel and rubbed his face against her soft cheeks.
Luciel couldn’t forget that night. She would remember everything from the stars falling in front of her nose, to the cold breeze and the sweet mood.
* * *
A few days later, Kizef left for Dracan.
Dracan, the land of dragons, was a remote and rugged area that had to go through the demon realm.
It was not possible to communicate through a magic message or mail, nor was it an area where communication channels were connected. Through Evelyn, who occasionally came and went there, she heard about Kizef and was able to send and receive letters.
In the spring of the following year, in the first letter she received, it seemed that it was difficult to adapt to the unfamiliar land, starting with ‘I feel like I would die’, but it seemed to get better as time passed.
[To Luciel who I want to see.
Are you doing well? There are six letters that I haven’t delivered yet, but I still have a pen. In that case, I would rather write a book.
I think this town is a better place to live than what you are worried about. I didn’t like their savage ways at first because it was the most primitive village among Dracan, but I guess I’m used to it now. There is also no more being picky for food.
Dragons aren’t the only ones here. There are quite a few humans who have inherited dragon blood like me.
Drinking water is precious because there are few water dragons, I was the loner at the academy, but thanks to the water magic, I am treated as a pretty useful guy here.
Every morning, walking on tree trunks while going through the forest makes me want to start the day. I feel like I have to grow up day by day and come to you as soon as possible.
Raven’s going crazy for coming here and constantly whining that there’s no chocolate. Oh, I’ll have to ask Grandmother Evelyn to send me some chocolates next time.
If only Luciel’s letter arrives I would happily exchange my meals for a few days.
I’m going to go train now.
How are you doing? In the next letter, tell me in detail about the wizards of the Magic Tower. Without missing a single one.]
Kizef’s letters continued steadily for half a year while Evelyn came and went. However, after that, delivery was not easy, and the gap widened further.
One month, two months, three months, then six months. The longer the time passed, the deeper was Kizef’s regret and his longing for Luciel in the letter. But Luciel was not disappointed.
Because she believed that Kizef was growing stronger than anyone else.
He was the one who saved her in the future, so she imagined his smiling face when he comes back.
Luciel wrote a letter, waiting for that day to come.
[To Kizef, who is stronger than anyone else.
It’s been a long time. These days, the number of letters has decreased significantly. Isn’t that proof that Kizef and I, too, are growing up as we go through crazy days?
So don’t be too upset.
Are you taking good care of the jewel I gave you? I wished Kizef success on that Spinel, so everything will be fine. Receive the power of my blessing.
The day we meet again, it’s still a long way off, but it will come someday, right?
When that time comes, won’t Kizef and I grow to the point where we won’t even recognize each other? Sometimes I saw you in my dreams. You were tall as a tree, but I think I will still be able to recognize you.
I’ll always be there for you.
I’m looking forward to the day Kizef returns. Because you will be a stronger Bellstein than anyone else. Come back. Because without you, Bellstein is a little boring. Miss you.
Your little star, Luciel.]
5 years in the future. It was a long time, but for Luciel, it might be too short to prepare everything perfectly.
Those who aim for the Crystal Fairy were still exposing their ferocious teeth behind the darkness.
Luciel sealed the letter and stood up. Phoenix, who had been quiet, spoke to me.
“Are you going to practice magic again today, Luciel?”
“Yes, I’m going to work as hard as Kizef. I have to get stronger. Both me and Bellstein have to grow up to protect everyone.”
Luciel summoned her wand and gently stroked the place where the jewel was embedded.
The power of each elemental was faintly felt.
‘I think the wand can grow even more.’
To do that, I have to keep practicing magic. I will also learn the magic of higher circles.
‘I will become stronger and find my happiness. It is different from the time when I was confined in a glass vault only waiting for the day I would die. Whoever is targeting me will have to face my magic first.’
Luciel went to the training center asking for Bessie to deliver her letter. She was no longer afraid of the future. Because everyone was by her side
While Luciel was running, the jewels of the staff gradually glowed softly. As if breathing in little by little, they responded to their master’s will.
The future seemed not far away
