Chapter 743: Apologies and Confrontation-II

Esther wasn\'t sure of what Ian meant with his words but she took it that Beelzebub had made up his mind on doing something, "That mean he needs me even more now."

"Auntie," Elise said with a frown when her husband placed his hand on her shoulder as if to stop her.

"If that what you want. I personally is against anyone and anything that stand in between two people being passionate in love. Don\'t you remember what occurred between us, my love?" Ian\'s eyes fell on Elise as he asked her.

"I do understand but Mr. Beel warned us to keep you here. I can\'t say it well but I have a bad feeling if I let you leave the mansion now, auntie," Elise relaid her words.

Ian pulled his hand bellow his chin, "They do say a pregnant woman\'s intuition is the strongest of all."

"Despite that, I would rather be with him than to regret never being beside him in his most important moment," Esther was firm with her words and unwavering with her choice and it was something that Elise knew she doesn\'t have a place to stop her.

"Can you stay here for one more day?" Elise asked with her hand over Esther\'s. "After that, you can go and I won\'t ask for any impossible request. I really have a terrible feeling right now if you leave."

Ian smiled and let his wife stand by helping her who had been sitting on the bed.

"That\'s a request for me as well," Ian stated, "I can let you leave this castle but Beel had personally asked me to let you stay in the castle and as a demon, as well as, a friend, I want to respect his wish. At least until tomorrow."

Being asked by Elise and considering she wasn\'t in the right state to go on for a mission with the injury on her ankle, she decided to stay.

Elise had went back to her room with Ian, leaving her now alone to rest. While staring at the ceiling, Esther felt restless doing nothing. She contemplated to walk when she pushed aside her covers and saw her ankle that was wrapped in bandage neatly.

She might not remembered it well and she guessed Beel didn\'t knew it as well but she knew the person who had tended her wound was him. Even while she was unconscious she can feel the warmth of his large hands covering her feet and his low whispers of apologies.

"You look better than I expected," the door opened and was followed by Leviathan\'s voice who burst inside the room.

Esther raised her eyebrows, "You could have knocked on the door."

"I had that choice, indeed and I did but a certain someone was absorbed by the sight of her—" his eyes went to look at her ankle and smiled, "—feet that she couldn\'t hear the loud knocking I made to warn her of my appearance."

Esther couldn\'t refute. She was indeed in a daze and wasn\'t able to tell whether he had knocked on the doors or not because of that.

"I heard you got wounded," Leviathan then looked at her ankle. He walked forward and reached out his hand as he would usually do to heal Esther wound but unlike usual, Esther had retracted her feet in haste. "I was about to heal it. My beloved daughter told me that you would leave tomorrow and a footwork is needed for your little journey."

"Well yes," Esther was also surprised she had pulled her ankle and placed it down again for Leviathan to heal her. "I remember you would often do this in the past," she started.

Leviathan in the past wasn\'t someone with a lot of care for others. He put people on arm\'s length as he did to his father, never bothering to get close or allow them to get close to him. But after knowing that they were somewhat related, Leviathan had shown a slight and silent care for her every time she needed it. For this, Esther was grateful.

"Did I?" Levi asked as if he didn\'t remember it as well. "I heard you are chasing for the love of your life, that\'s romantic."

"Your son in law, had said the same thing," Esther whispered a thank you when Levi had finished healing her ankle.

"Did he? He copied whatever I do."

"Even though he was the one who had spoken the word first?"

"I was born first," Levi answered, a bit spiteful as Ian hogged his daughter\'s attention and his chances to spend his time with his soon to be born grandson.

Esther laughed at his words and he kept a straight face before breaking a smile. He then said, "I heard you insist on leaving even though danger is across you, and even though you have always been a calculative person to avoid any risk. You are not a hot headed person and I know you as a person with no interest to everyone, possibly because you didn\'t want to. It\'s quite surprising you chose to became a passionate person, love had changed you for the better."

"Like Adelaide did to you," Esther answered. "I am glad to hear that I managed to surprised you. I always failed doing that compared to you. There\'s always one question which I want to hear from you."

Leviathan crossed his arms together and tipped his chin, "Go on."

"That day, why did you choose to save me?" Esther finally asked her question which she had long wanted to know since the past. "You could have walked away and turn a blind eye over my death. You didn\'t know who I am and if I do have a blood of Satan but you still went out of your way to help me."

"That?" Leviathan hummed, remembering the past. He recalled seeing a girl who was the size of an ant. Her body was small and thin like a stick. With four men surrounding her, it appeared as if she was a small wounded dog who was surrounded by large hungry wolf.

Yet despite her disadvantages, Esther remained to glare at the man fiercely, and the will to live on still burn from her eyes.

"It was amusing," Leviathan answered without lying, causing Esther to smile. She was fond of the time she spend with Leviathan who felt like a brother to her. "I don\'t have any advise to you in term of love. Adelaide died before me and I still regret it but I learn to look forward of the time I have now, with my daughter and my grandchildren. If I have advise to you it would be only one thing: hold to what you think is the most important. Don\'t let them go even if it costs your life. Living in regret, is the most painful thing anyone would want it to ever happen to them and as a friend, I don\'t want that to occur on you as well."

"Do you still blame Heaven and Satan for not allowing you to meet your wife?" Leviathan was the prince of Hell. If he could use his prowess as the prince, he could force his way to Heaven with blood spilled to meet his beloved wife but he didn\'t.

Leviathan shook his head, it\'s a far different answer compared to his reply in the past.

"I accepted her, whom I love. I will never forget her but I would treasure the time I have now until the day I meet her again. That is the day I look forward the most but I won\'t force my way through it," Leviathan then took out a small mirror to Esther\'s hand. "Use it in any time you need to run away. Safety is your priority before winning any war."

Esther recognize the special mirror that could be use to teleport in a heartbeat using no magic. It was an extremely useful item that Esther knew she would need it in the future, "Thank you," she whispered as Leviathan left, "brother."
