Am I Allowed to Kill the Male Lead? - Chapter 2

Chapter 2

Translator: Yonnee

—

The eyebrows of the male lead, who was talking nonsense, was furrowed in distress. But even then, he was the very picture of handsomeness and beauty.

If the genre of ‘Devil’s Vivace’ had been any different, then it would have been perfectly fine if he did not wield that whip.

However, the rules of this genre were strict, and no matter how handsome he was, if he’d fail to keep the plot going, his charm as a male lead would decrease. Everyone’s reading this novel because they wish to see Beelzebuth flogging someone.

Somewhat urgently, I pressed Bel.

“Tell me about it after ‘this chapter’.”

“I don’t wish to ruin the novel either. If I had a different ‘role’, I just know that I can do well. But…”

“Just hit me already.”

“……”

Tears found their way into Bel’s eyes, but he soon recovered his expression and swung the whip. Crack! Along with the lilting sound, it felt as if I was on Flight 63 soaring over a mountain for a moment. At the same time, it was the right sound to ground me back to this place, making me feel relieved.

The same moment the whip sounded off, a red line was drawn on my pale thigh. This mark of the whip was evidence that everything was back on track.

But on the other hand, Bel’s handsome face had turned deathly pale.

“As expected, I don’t want to do this.”

It was here that things started to go wrong. Bel threw the whip behind him.

And, he proceeded to say his lines as ‘Beelzebuth’.

「 I will not whip you. 」

「 What…? 」

I was so taken aback and dumbfounded that I almost spoke informally as I usually did. This was a serious issue. Beelzebuth… No, Bel, at will, began to rewrite the content.

「 I can tell by your lewd expression. You like getting whipped, hm? You’re purposely provoking me to do this, aren’t you? 」

It was a line that had not been agreed upon beforehand. Beelzebuth grabbed the chin of ‘Yoo Eunha’ and had their foreheads meet together. He let out a snarl.

The demon king’s eyes—with a mixture of anger, lust and impatience—must have tickled the heart of ‘Yoo Eunha’.

I went along with the ad-lib and roughly added my own lines. It seemed like Bel could read what was going on in my mind, but he followed suit as well.

「 Do you feel as if I’m at the palm of your hand? I must have been very amusing, seeing as you’re playing with me as you please. 」

「 What are you… 」

「 Shut up. 」

Beelzebuth cut off ‘Yoo Eunha’ threateningly. He was now acting like a fairly plausible male lead even though these lines weren’t on the script.

Still, this was a necessary scene for the build up of an important emotional plotline, as this was originally the scene where he would flog her with the whip and would thereafter regret and reflect on his actions afterwards.

But seriously, was he trying to skip such a big scene just because he didn’t want to do it?

I’m going to kill you, I swear.

But we’re still on the stage. Beelzebuth swept up his bangs neatly and spoke again.

「 I was already well aware that I would not be able to tame you with a mere whip. So, I’m saying that I won’t whip you anymore. 」

「 ! 」

Amidst of my burning emotions, I gritted my teeth and forced myself to act surprised.

With a line like that, there would no longer be any flogging scenes. Beelzebuth was the kind of character who would keep his word no matter what, and this was one of the points in his characterization that made him attractive.

After this chapter, I was going to threaten him and say that I wouldn’t ever forgive him if he wouldn’t start flogging me properly, but…

As I stared up at Bel, avoiding the eyes of the readers, I saw that his shoulders were shaking minutely. Regardless, he did not stop.

He covered the eyes of ‘Yoo Eunha’ with a big, manly hand and interlocked his lips together with mine. The demon king’s hot tongue dug into my lips, which had opened due to my surprise.

「 Mmh… Mmmph… 」

In ‘Devil’s Vivace’, there was a rule that if the male lead were to kiss the female lead suddenly, the female lead must first try to rebel.

It was only natural to do so, and this was due to the vicious cycle of Beelzebuth’s intimidation, coaxing and comforting, which was destroying Yoo Eunha’s mind and heart.

But this time, it wasn’t actually just because of our roles that I roughly placed a hand on Bel’s shoulder and pushed him away. He was being quite sincere.

I struggled, but as Beelzebuth refused to back down, we fell on the bed, one over the other.

Truthfully, I got a little surprised by the iron wall that was the solid body of the male lead, which I was feeling for the first time in a long while.

The male lead pressed down over the female lead’s body without giving her a chance to escape. And, an ecstatic kiss poured in.

The novel ‘Devil’s Vivace’ was still, at the end of the day, of the romance genre, and so Bel knew how to kiss very well. His soft tongue entangled with mine, and when he gently scratched the roof of my mouth with his large, delicate tongue, I felt shivers running down my spine.

But no, I can’t forgive you. Beelzebuth had the nerve to replace the flogging scene with a kiss scene all on his own.

Yet again, he ignored and wasted the supposed violent scene just because he didn’t want to play the role of the male lead who’s a sadist.

Even the rope wrapped around my wrists were loose.
