Chapter 11 - Sudden jump in story

Fabien was walking down the hallway, dressed in fine and neat clothes. The servants were looking at Fabien with frowns and very cold stares.

One servant whispered, "That insolent kid has enchanted the master. We should teach him a proper lesson!"

Another servant whispered, "The master is too lenient with him. Look how arrogantly he walks."

Another servant whispered, "Don't worry, the master will soon get tired of him and throw him back in the cage."

Fabien approached the servants and with a smile said, "What are you talking about?"

Servant: "Let's go."

The three servants left.

Fabien thought and said, "Why did they run away? I treated them well."

The servant came to Diablo's room and said, "Sorry to bother you, but someone is here demanding you return the child you kidnapped."

Diablo stood up and said, "Show that man to the reception room."

Diablo went to his reception room, where the man looking for Fabien was sitting. Upon seeing Diablo, the man stood up and bowed.

Diablo: "That's enough, you can sit, Marcus."

Marcus sat down, and Diablo looked at him with terrifying eyes.

Marcus: "Let's get straight to the point. Return the child that one of your men stole from me."

Diablo smirked and said, "What if I don't?"

Marcus frowned and said, "I paid a lot of money for that child. I'm not giving up easily."

Diablo frowned and said, "How much money do you want? Just get it and get lost."

Marcus smiled and said, "So you want to buy the child from me, huh?"

Fabien was sitting in the library reading a book when Alfred appeared before him. Fabien looked at Alfred with pride and said, "Why are you here? Are you here to kill me and end this story?"

Alfred sighed and smiled, "Of course not, the story is getting very interesting."

Fabien smirked and said, "What do you mean? Don't you really want to move on to the next story?"

Alfred opened his book, took a pen out of his pocket, and said, "Don't you think the story can get much more interesting?"

Fabien, surprised, said, "What are you doing?!"

Alfred: "Let's see, what happens if one day in the future you betray Diablo to save the girl you love."

Fabien: "Wait, what?!"

Alfred smiled, and suddenly Fabien disappeared.

Fabien found himself in a forest, running in the dark of night. He looked behind him and saw he was holding a girl's hand tightly.

Suddenly, Fabien stopped and, surprised, said, "Who are you?!"

The girl looked at Fabien in surprise and said, "What do you mean? You took my hand yourself and ran with me."

Suddenly, Fabien remembered his memories about this. Fabien, angry, thought, "Alfred, if I can only get my hands on you...!"

The girl looked at Fabien in surprise and asked, "Is something wrong?"

Fabien smiled and said, "Nothing, let's keep running, Isabella."

Suddenly, several guards surrounded Fabien and Isabella.

Fabien suddenly fought the guards with his sword to help Isabella escape.

Fabien shouted, "Run, I'll hold them off!"

Isabella looked at Fabien sadly and ran away quickly.

Fabien thought, "Now that I'm a traitor, I shouldn't go back."

Suddenly, the soldiers stepped aside, and Diablo came towards Fabien from among the soldiers.

Fabien, who was very shocked, burst into laughter.

Diablo grabbed Fabien by the collar and said, "As I expected, you are just like the other humans and betrayed me."

Fabien sighed and said, "One question, why do you still look the same after all these years?"

Diablo thought, "Why has his behavior changed so suddenly?" 

Diablo took Fabien to a terrifying dungeon to punish him. There was a large table stained with blood and many frightening tools in the room. Fabien looked at them in fear.

Diablo signaled the soldiers to leave him alone with Fabien.

Fabien looked at Diablo in fear and thought, "Should I beg him? No, or should I act again?"

Diablo: "Take off your clothes."

Fabien: "Huh? Why?"

Diablo angrily said, "I told you to take off your clothes!"

Fabien thought, "What is he thinking?!"

Fabien took off his shirt and put it on the ground, then reached for his belt to unbuckle it.

Suddenly, Diablo, surprised, said, "What are you doing?!"

Fabien smiled nervously and said, "You told me to take off my clothes."

Diablo got angry and said, "No, idiot, I want to punish you!"

Fabien laughed and said, "Huh? So that's why you said it."

Diablo handcuffed Fabien's hands and threw him on the table.

Fabien, sweating in fear, said, "Can you punish me more gently?"

Diablo came close to Fabien and whispered in his ear, "Do you still want to act?"

Fabien laughed and said, "Of course, why not? Let's act!"

Diablo smirked and said, "Think it through, because you'll regret it later."

Fabien smiled and said, "Why should I regret it? I'm the best actor in the world."

Diablo thought, "It seems he's lost his memory."

Diablo chuckled under his breath and said, "Alright, but you can't go back on your word."

Fabien seriously said, "Of course, I won't go back on my word."

Fabien: "What?! Why do I have to wear these clothes?!"

Diablo had brought Fabien to a room and wanted to force him to wear women's clothes. Fabien was completely shocked.

Diablo: "Because you have to play the role of Lilithia."

Fabien thought and said, "Who is Lilithia?"

Diablo, irritated, said, "Don't you remember? I was supposed to marry Lilithia, but you made her hate me, and I lost my chance to marry her."

Fabien: "What do you mean-"

Suddenly, Fabien remembered that Lilithia had slapped Diablo and said, "How dare you care more about this boy than me?!"

Fabien laughed and said, "Ah, Miss Lilithia, she was truly a beautiful lady."

Fabien thought, "Alfred, why did you add such scenes to the story?!"

Diablo frowned and signaled the servants, saying, "Force him to wear these clothes and make him up."

Diablo left, leaving Fabien alone with the servants.

Fabien, surprised, said, "What?! I'm not wearing these clothes!"

Fabien, dressed in women's clothes, came into Diablo's office. The servants were all excited to see Fabien.

One servant whispered, "How beautiful!"

Fabien stood by the couch, frowning at Diablo.

Diablo got up from behind his desk and said, "Why are you looking at me like that? You really became a beautiful lady."

Fabien shouted angrily, "This isn't a funny joke at all. I'd rather die than be treated like a woman!"

Diablo approached Fabien, grabbed his face, and pushed him, causing Fabien to lose his balance and fall onto the couch.

Then Diablo came onto the couch, grabbed Fabien's shoulder, and said, "But I love you."

Suddenly, Fabien scratched Diablo's face with his hand and pushed him back, angrily saying, "I love someone else!"

Diablo frowned at Fabien and said, "You mean the girl you helped escape?"

Suddenly, Fabien covered his mouth with his hands and thought, "Why did I say that?!"

Suddenly, Diablo grabbed Fabien's wrist and lifted him up, angrily looking into Fabien's eyes and said, "That girl aimed to make you fall in love with her so you would betray me and kill me. She has no interest in you!"

Fabien's face contorted, he gritted his teeth and said, "My head hurts, I can't process all these events at once."

Diablo, worried about Fabien, said in surprise, "What do you mean?! Why has your behavior changed so much?!"

Fabien looked into Diablo's eyes and said, "Actually, I came from another world, I-"

Suddenly, a deep shock hit Fabien's heart, and he passed out.

Diablo held Fabien in his arms and thought, "Why do I feel something is not right about this person?"

Fabien opened his eyes and saw Diablo sitting next to him, holding his hand.

Diablo, happy, said, "You have no right to die and leave me alone. You must promise me that you'll stay by my side forever!"

Fabien, feeling numb, said in a quiet voice, "What happened to me?"

Diablo frowned and said, "I don't know. The doctor said you had a heart attack and have been unconscious for a week."

Suddenly, Fabien came to his senses and thought, "What?! I've been unconscious for a week?!"

Diablo stood up, looking anxious, and said, "I don't know why, but I feel like an unknown external force is trying to kill you."

Fabien thought, "Was it Alfred? No, if it was Alfred, I shouldn't be alive by now!"

Diablo clenched his fists and angrily said, "I won't let you be killed. I'll protect you no matter what. You must live by my side forever!"
