Prolog
The birth of the black lady

Estelle was the duke's illegitimate child.

Originally, she was destined to grow up on the street, but she awakened to a holy power that is difficult to find, and because of that, she enter the Duke’s house.

‘You have to listen well and live nicely.’

Her mother hands her over to the Duke for a few pennies and did a new job.

Rather than worrying about her daughter, she was more worried that she will get accused for her daughter’s fault.

In any case, following her mother’s request, Estelle always tried to follow her father’s words and live a life for others.

‘You are dirty.'
‘You are more suited to eat fertilizer for the livestock.’

However, she had to be harshly harrased by the Duke’s family and those around her.

But still, Estelle didn’t give up. She thought that if she worked hard, they will surely open their hearts.

She risked her life and ventured into dangerous place.

How many times she was being thrown at with a stone by the people around the bad Duke, and how many times she almost dead, she didn’t know it.

Nevertheless, she loved all those around her.

Estelle always forgives them no matter what terrible things they did to her. No matter if it’s ten times, or even a hundred times, she never give up and tried to love them somehow.

She believed that if she worked hard, her father, her family, and those around her would someday open their hearts.

Then Estelle’s effort ended up shining.
She became the most respected Saint in the Empire.

Many people consider her as a benefactor.

Her family and those around her also opened their hearts to her. Her father, Duke of Wellingdon, her sister Flandona, and her friend Marriott.

Those who wronged her eventually repented of their fault.

‘We’re sorry, it’s our fault.’
‘In the future, you are our precious family. Please forgive us.’

With just one apology, Estelle forgave them all. They became her dear ones.
She also met someone she loves.

Radit.

He dispised her when they were young, but he was moved by her appearance for others and eventually fell in love with her. And that’s how happiness finally came for her.

But all happiness was just an illusion.

On the day she turned 23, She suffered a terrible betrayal.

Human offering.

Throughout her life she fell into the terrible conspiracy of those she had been trying to love, and was offered as a 'sacrifice' to the devil.

The saint is the best prey the devil covets. And she became a sacrifice to the devil to satisfy their (🐹: the people who betrayed her) desires.

At her last moment.
In flames, Estelle heard numerous voices.

‘A subject with a lowly bloodlines mixed in it.’
‘A stupid bitch who doesn’t know the subject.’

Numerous daggers were stuck in her chest.

It didn't matter anymore what those words were about. It shattered her heart that those who spoke the curse were the ones she had tried to love in all her life.

The fiance who confessed love to her.
A friend who opened her heart after her efforts.

The older sister who said she cherised her while regreting her mistakes.

Her Father.
Everyone.

Countless people ridiculed her looking at her end.

At that time, an eerie sound echoed in the air.

[I will……. asked…… again. Would you like….. to make an offering?]

Estelle trembled in the midst of dying.
It was the voice of the devil trying to take her soul.

‘N,No….! Please…!’

She has an intuition.
The moment she was dragged by that demon, she didn’t know what terrible things would happen.

Estelle was desperate but the people around her didn’t even budge.

“I will offer a sacrifice! Please make the contract!”

The darkness shook for a moment.

[I will….. asked again. This soul will suffer forever for years of regret. Still… would you make a sacrifice?]

“I will sacrifice her! Instead, please makes what we want come true!”

‘No….! Please….! Please….!’

Estelle is desperately lowering her head, but this is a ‘Human offering’.
It was also an absolute ritual formed by cooperation between five of the six duke families that ruled the empire and the demon king-class warlock.
Being offered as a 'sacrifice', she had no choice.

At the moment, Estele and a man's eyes meet.

He was wearing a mask, but she could recognize it at once with her blurred eyes.

It was the fiance she loved.

‘Please…. please. Radit. Please…. save me. Please.’

But Estelle had to feel the despair falling into the hell.

He, who said that he love her more than his own life, The fiancé turned away from her gaze.

At that time, an eerie voice resounded again.

[.…..As expected. You…. humans are like our devil’s shadow. Good. I will accept the sacrifice.]

“Thank you! Then what will you give us in return?”

[This soul is a noble soul that has never been seen since creation. I received an undeserved offering. I will make all your wishes come true.]

And thus, a horrible human sacrifice was held in the place where no one knew in one corner of the Empire.

Estelle’s soul was taken to hell, ‘Gehenna’. And she learned what the devil warned about, the pain of a fear.
