There was a letter tied to the bird’s leg. Derrick was used to something like this happening, Judith immediately pulled away, covering herself with a blanket. All because Carmen’s red eyes seemed very frightening in such a way that it seems to glow at night. Although there was nothing evil about her, and Judith knew it, the feeling of anxiety did not leave her.

Derrick sat down next to her, putting his arm around her waist from behind, and took the letter. While he carefully read its contents, Judith awkwardly looked at Carmen, who gracefully folded her black wings and looked like a person of blue blood. The bloody pupils seemed even more saturated, and her spine stuck out rigidly.

The Duchess felt uneasy, which made her wrap herself even more tightly and try to avoid Carmen’s insinuating gaze. Glancing at Derrick again, she noticed that the previously relaxed face looked extremely stern.

" Carmen –" he said, without taking his eyes off the letter. Unlike his usual cheerful voice, the tone was lowered, sounding even a little sad and upset.

Judith noticed that Derrick’s jaw was clenched tightly, and looked at the crow. She didn’t understand, even if Carmen seemed reasonable, she was an animal, right? However, the bird behaved like a human, avoiding the cold gaze of its owner and turning its head away.

" What is it? "

The letter fell apart in the hands of the devil, and he glared at Carmen, glaring with angry eyes, like a sharp blade. The crow flew into the air, quickly flapped its wings, throwing all the papers and documents off the table.

The bird turned around, glaring at the wall and flew straight towards it. When there was almost no distance between them, Judith squeezed her eyes shut and shuddered, intending to leave the bedroom immediately. However, there was no loud knocking or anything accompanying the collision.

Opening her eyes, the Duchess froze in amazement: the bird disappeared into the shadows…

And a moment later, a silhouette stepped out of the shadow – it was no longer a bird that was flying freely a few seconds ago, but a man.

" Damn, it hurts, commander," not only the appearance changed, but the crow also spoke. " You said you lost your magic. But it was enough to change my appearance."

The bird’s appearance in the human role was so similar to Derrick, as if it was his child.

" Answer me first," the devil said in a very cold voice that Judith had never heard before.

Most likely, still feeling the pain from the blow, the boy touched the sore spot on the back of his head, ruffling his shocking black hair. And then the girl noticed something strange… The horn, which the boy rubbed. Judith had already understood that Carmen was not an ordinary bird, but now everything has become even clearer. She used to think that it was a girl, but now it became clear how much she was mistaken.

The frivolous boy straightened his clothes, cleared his throat a little and spoke:

" As I reported, the other day I checked all the zones – from the first to the twelfth, but I could not find Hannibal, as well as the devils that he ruled…"

" Couldn’t find it?"

" Yes," Carmen looked like he just had nothing to add, even if Derrick asked for details.

" Wonderful."

Judith, listening to the conversation, perfectly understood what was happening. It seems that Derrick was looking for the location of Hannibal, who became the reason for the appearance of the devil in this world. A lot of emotions changed on the devil’s face in just a minute: concern, anger, irritation, misunderstanding. From the outside, it is difficult to say exactly what he is experiencing now.Th.ê most uptod/at𝓮 n𝒐vels a/re published on n(0)velbj)n(.)c/o/m
