Am I Allowed to Kill the Male Lead? - Chapter 3
Chapter 3
Translator: Yonnee
—
This good-for-nothing must be really determined to finish the scene today. Honestly, I never imagined that he would rebel this much against me. I was caught off guard.
Belatedly, I felt a sinking feeling and tried to push him away, but Bel seized my wrist with one hand and pushed it back down. Both thin wrists were now entrapped between just one of the male lead’s large hands.
It hurt a little. It was difficult to resist because he was pressing down with such force that I didn’t notice. At the end of the day, Yoo Eunha wasn’t the kind of character who’d be able to resist either, and besides that, the cameras were still running. I had no freedom to do anything rash.
But wasn’t that what Bel’s doing right now?
Our novel was of the hardcore and depraved genre, but it was now going along the lines of soft-core and just angst instead.
As a main character who’s in charge of carrying out the novel, it was unacceptable to change the genre at will.
It’s not just a matter of rules and logic either.
Primal rage started brewing within me.
“……”
With our lips still locked together, our eyes met and Bel’s shoulders trembled before he closed his eyes again. And, I restrained myself even more. I was more afraid of what kind of aftermath there’d be if I were to let loose here.
Beelzebuth carefully groped ‘Yoo Eunha’s thigh. A few gashes here and there had been left by Beelzebuth’s whip earlier, and a few drops of blood trickled down.
Here, Bel struck me one more time.
But he soon exercised his power as the demon king and began to heal the wounds by gently coursing his magic through his fingertips.
「 This… 」
…I have to admit. I made a slight ‘mistake’, too.
I paused to think for a moment, but I surmised that it would be covered up by the adlib anyway.
I kicked Bel on the stomach as hard as I could, given the situation.
“Keugh…”
And it was a clean hit, too. Bel’s face was painted with pain for a moment.
「 Hah. 」
But not even a second later, Bel had once again assumed his role as the king sovereign of the devildom, ruler of all devilkin.
He sat up and laughed, incredulous. And, he lightly swept the blood around his mouth with his thumb.
「 Why bother doing something so futile, hm? 」
I had hit him squarely on the stomach, but I couldn’t possibly make him bleed out his mouth through that.
Of course, I hit him on the stomach with my knee, and I also bit his tongue. However, considering that Bel was now acting like this, it seemed like what I did could be something ‘Yoo Eunha’ would have done.
Bel bit down on his lips as well and made himself bleed more.
It was a good adlib. Considering the personality of the female lead of ‘Devil’s Vivace’, it fit more that I’d bite his lips rather than knee him in the gut.
Quickly, I swiped a bit of the blood trickling down my thighs and smeared it against my lips, pretending that it was from Beelzebuth’s open wound.
Even as they had taken a departure from the script, the quick-wittedness of the two main characters of ‘Devil’s Vivace’ continued the plot forward without a hitch.
Smirking crookedly, Beelzebuth reached forward to tuck a lock of Yoo Eunha’s hair behind her ear.
「 I untied you and even treated you, yet this is how you repay me. 」
His expression was picturesque. Ferocious and beguiling at the same time, matching his black hair perfectly somehow. Beelzebuth was undeniably sexy and charismatic whenever he wanted to be.
The scene had already gotten ruined, but I tried my best to tremble while breathing out as I tightly closed my legs together.
「 Why are you doing this all of a sudden? 」
It was a question that carried a hint of genuine curiosity, and Bel looked like he caught on. Look at him, avoiding my gaze like that.
Without skipping a beat, he uttered a line that sounded like what the male lead would say.
「 Why else? It is the most efficient method to tame you… 」
His voice trembled a little.
「 …Nothing more. 」
Fortunately, it’s not to the point that the readers would have heard his hesitation.
「 No matter how much I persecute you, I don’t believe it’s enough to make you my slave evermore. 」
「 So you admit that it’s persecution. 」
At this, Beelzebuth looked down mockingly at ‘Yoo Eunha’ as though she was a rabbit in front of a beast.
「 Don’t glare at me like that. The way you look at me quite frightens me. 」
He meant this. Nevertheless, Beelzebuth continued.
「 Henceforth, I shall not use any violence—I will treat you kindly. 」
「 What? 」
No, this can’t be… The genre’s changing… This isn’t softcore anymore, it’s going down the direction of sweet romance or some other bullcrap.
「 In any case, it’s only a matter of time. There is nothing that I am lacking. I am the king of all devils and I can give you anything. You must have been very dissatisfied by my caprices as of late. 」
‘Yoo Eunha’ trembled and cowered as Beelzebuth drew closer to her. Without a single thread of clothing upon her body, she was completely naked, yet the demon king was dressed in formal military attire in front of her. The difference between them was utterly stark.
「 Or, do you wish for me to continue treating you as a slave? 」
I answered quickly.
「 I’d rather you do that. 」
This, too, was a genuine answer.
「 Regardless of what you do, it’s useless. Just let me go. No matter how nice you may act, Lord Michael is the only one for me. 」
And these words were specifically to incite his jealousy.
