The magic cards I made are absolutely flawless!

"Yes."

Dekan pinched his cheek to indicate to Tata that he wasn't pretending.

Tata finally understood why those knights had so easily trusted her, let her into their car, and treated her with such exceptional politeness, simply because she had a bank card under the name of the Happy Group.

It turns out it's because of his appearance!

Even if she stood out with this guy right now, all the knights would definitely assume they were siblings!

They're practically identical.

Soon, Tata also realized the true identity of the gray-haired, blue-eyed guy in front of her.

He is the real-life inspiration for Captain Derkan, Derkan!

When she was creating Captain Derkan, she noticed that Derkan's hair and eye colors were similar to hers.

I've also heard that Dekan's card-making style is very similar to hers.

But she never imagined that Dekan's true appearance would be so similar to hers.

"...Are you Dekan?"

Tata is still amazed at why there are people in the world who look so much like her.

"Genuine or genuine."

Dekan found it particularly pleasing that Tata's demeanor shifted from calm to utter confusion.

Are you lying to me again?

Tata suspects that Dekan is still using new camouflage technology to prank her.

"Oh."

Dekan handed his travel documents to Tata.

Tata looked at the official document from the Kingdom Federation bearing Dekan's image and seemed to have finally convinced herself.

After all, no matter how evil Dekan is, he wouldn't risk serious crimes to forge documents just to play a trick on her.

Tata looked up at Dekan's face, still unable to understand the principle.

Does she really have a long-lost brother?

"Don't worry about it. Even I can't figure it out, let alone you. But I do have a way to test if we are related by blood. Just give me some of your blood after that."

Dekan said nonchalantly.

If Dekan is not mistaken, Tata and he are not related by blood.

After all, they all have parents, and Tata's demonization is simply due to a regression to ancestral traits.

To truly understand the relationship between him, Tata, and his master, we must return to the starting point of everything—the Holy Kingdom.

Only in that place can one understand the entanglements of their fates.

"No!"

Tata shook her head violently and quickly moved closer to the car door, putting some distance between herself and Dekan.

Her blood cannot be given to others.

People will discover that she has demon blood!

Then she's really doomed!

"don’t worry."

Dekan noticed her wariness, lowered his body slightly, and looked into Tata's eyes.

Tata watched Dekan approach with increasing vigilance, but there was nowhere left to retreat.

She somewhat regretted accepting this person's help.

Even if she can keep it a secret now, can she really keep it hidden forever once she gets to the Kingdom of Norton?

And if this person is convinced that he is a demon, how will he treat himself?

Tata felt utterly hopeless.

however.

She was astonished to see that Dekan's pupils had turned from blue to gold!

That deep, layered gold color was exactly the same as her right eye!

And this is by no means a disguise.

As she met Dekan's gaze, she felt an indescribable resonance with his soul.

"Who exactly are you?!"

Tata could no longer remain calm and asked in shock.

She never expected that Dekan also had the Demon Eye, and that it was of the same type as hers!

Tata had previously consulted various books borrowed from the library and found information about demons, but there was no record of this golden-eyed demon.

"So there's no need to be so wary of me. I'm one of the few people in the world who would protect you even if I knew your secret."

"..."

Now all of Tata's doubts were finally resolved.

No wonder Dekan could use the Demon Language to create cards so easily.

It turns out that his true identity is a demon, and he has cleverly disguised himself as a human!

198. Dekan's forehand and backhand instruction

I feel like you're thinking something very impolite...

Dekan observed Tata's expression and frowned.

Tata seems to be questioning his race.

Dekan is a pure human and doesn't like being treated like a demon.

Last time at the Demon Academy, Baron Bachel yelled "You demon!" at Dekan, which infuriated him.

He immediately taught Baron Batchell a lesson.

But Tata is still just a child.

It's normal to be immature.

Dekan sighed helplessly and said:

"I've revealed everything to you, so you should believe me a little bit now, right?"

"..."

After a moment of silence, Tata clenched her little hands, looked at Dekan, and asked:

"Will you protect me?"

"Of course, if I don't protect you, and you get caught, people will see how much you look like me and wonder if my race is demons."

Dekan nodded, then asked a question in return.

This made Tata fall into deep thought.

Even now, she genuinely felt that making a deal with a real demon was somewhat terrifying.

However, from a self-interest perspective, this demon will protect itself.

And for some reason, this demon doesn't seem so bad.

Although it has been said that when demons tempt humans, they can be more approachable than angels.

But this guy, he can be bad when he needs to be bad, and good when he needs to be good, which is making him a bit hard to figure out.

Seeing Tata's conflicted expression, Dekan didn't disturb her, letting her think it over slowly.

After all, she needs to think things through herself and then make a judgment.

However, regarding the issue that Dekan just mentioned, "the possibility of being suspected of being a demon,"

Chloeux couldn't help but complain from the side:

"Dekan, is it possible that you've always been suspected of being a demon? And not because of race, but because of your conduct...?"

"..."

Dekan rolled his eyes.

It must be that everyone has a prejudice against him.

Finally, Tata seemed to have made a decision, but there was still one thing she wanted to confirm.

She stared at Dekan and asked:

"If I'm no longer useful to you one day, will you still protect me?"

"Ha, I'm not your nanny."

Dekan chuckled in response.

"..."

Tata avoided Dekan's gaze somewhat timidly.

She wasn't surprised by the answer.

Moreover, it's always better for Dekan to tell the truth than to deceive her.

Dekan really didn't need to protect her, who was fraught with danger, all the time.

After all, Dekan himself has perfect disguise skills, and she is like a ticking time bomb. Once the fact that he is harboring her is discovered, Dekan will also be in serious trouble.

Therefore, both emotionally and logically, she was merely a tool that Dekan could discard at any time, which makes sense.

"You can't expect me to protect you forever, you need to become stronger and protect yourself quickly. But until you grow up, I promise I won't let anyone threaten you."

After teasing Tata, Dekan continued.
