Chapter 3: Butterfly Effect
Chapter 3 – Butterfly Effect
Bella had gone back in time ten years when she had first gathered the demons as a princess.
Everyone was looking forward to what the little princess would say.
“I’m screwed. I’m screwed,” Bella muttered as she sat on the ground.
The horses warily spoke to Bella to improve her distraught mood.
“Princess, shall we give you the gift we prepared?”
“No! Fuck! Please don’t!”
The curses unconsciously spilled from Bella’s lips. She tightened her lips, wondering whether she should be embarrassed or not.
I often cursed when I was a police officer. Haah, I need to endure. Why did I have to enter this novel? There are so many other novels I would’ve preferred to enter.
Wait a minute… People… Humans…
A variety of thoughts consumed her small body.
Until Bella became an adult and inherited the Demon King’s powers, there were only two ways she could exit the demon world: someone had to summon her, or she had to sign a contract with a human being.
“I can’t go into the human world until I’m an adult?”
Bella’s role in the novel occurred when she was 24, and Kiel was 22.
“What should I do before then?”
Bella was currently ten years old. If she hid in the human world for ten years, she’d have to come back and endure this rotten place for another four years.
Bella raised her head and stood up proudly. “Guys, I’m going to the human world.”
The atmosphere instantly turned awkward.
It had already been ten years since the Devil gave birth to a daughter and went into hibernation. Everyone had been looking forward to Bella’s spectacular performance, but the first thing she was doing was going to visit a lower race.
After Bella’s initial excitement cooled, she cleared her throat and announced. “If I know the human world well, I’ll be able to bully them well.”
She looked triumphant, but she was very nervous on the inside.
Did I do well?
“AAAA!”
Fortunately, the demons cheered on Bella, lauding her as a future hopeful who would lead the world.
“Moving all the horsemen to the human world will take very little power. I’d like one of the generals to assist me,” Bella said.
“I’ll go.”

Bella shrieked when General Talam stepped forward. “Kyaaa!”
“What’s wrong?”
Who in their right mind wouldn’t scream at the sight of a giant cockroach?
“No! I’ll go with a human-type demon because we’ll be traveling to the human world.”
“I can turn into a human because I’m a general.”
Talam’s cockroach body gradually began to morph into a figure with a surprisingly nice face.
But I don’t like cockroaches…
After Talam changed his appearance, the generals next to him began to transform themselves as well.
“I can skin a human every day for you!”
“I don’t think that’s appropriate…”
The generals began to brag about how outstanding they were, but Bella ignored them.
“Leopard, let’s go.”
Bella had very little choices, so she chose the weird leopard with three tails.
" My name is General Zhanbar! I'll catch young and fresh humans for you."
Although he looked somewhat normal, he, too, wasn’t normal.
It wasn’t easy for the horsemen to venture into the human world.
It was easy for them to go to the human world, but it wasn’t easy for them to return.
Low-class demons like slime could easily venture to the human world, but upper demons like Bella and Zhanbar could only get out if they were summoned.
Bella had been waiting to be summoned for a week.
As expected, I can hardly survive in this place for just a week.
Bella refused to face the nightmarish looking demons, so she locked herself in her room and waited to be summoned.
She could hardly even eat the meals they prepared for her.
“Princess, there’s a summoner!”
“Get out of my way, you beggars!”
Bella’s increasingly violent and brash personality scared even herself. She wasn’t sure if her environment caused the change or if she was gradually turning into the original Bella.
After a while…
“Cough, cough.”
After the summoning, Bella came to the human world with Zhanbar. A stale smell was the first thing that greeted her.
Bella waved her hand in front of her face to clear the smoke. The dark space was dreary.
Looking around, she saw dozens of small cages along the wall holding dogs and children.
In front of Bella, there was a man smoking.
“I-Is this slavery?” Bella stuttered at the sight of all the caged children and dogs.
“Devil, I called you…”
After seeing the man’s inhumane business, Bella ordered Zhanbar, “Zhanbar, kill him.”
The good thing about being a demon rather than a police officer was that she didn’t have to send people to court.
Zhanbar, in his leopard form, rushed to the man and excitedly ripped at his neck.
Is that too much?
But when Bella saw the children, her fleeting thought immediately vanished.
“They’re children.”
“Princess, can I eat them?”
“What?”
Zhanbar had transformed into a man from his leopard form. He was wearing a robe and asked, “Those kids—they look delicious.”
"Are you crazy? How many times do I tell you? Don't touch the old and the weak! A man should have a conscience!"
"I’ve already told you. We’re demons, not humans.”
“Hey! Don’t throw up!”
Even after so much training, Bella still struggled to rehabilitate the evil demons.
Bella flicked her wrist, and all the bars, locking the children inside, collapsed.
“Go back home, kids.”
The children in the cages were terrified, but when the first one snuck out and ran for his life, the rest followed suit.
The human world is alright.
Bella saw the children running out and followed them. If she followed them, she’d probably find a settlement.
I’m hungry. I hope they have rice.
Suddenly, Bella noticed something from the corner of her vision.
It was a small boy that would grow up to cause a huge tidal wave of change.
***
When Kiel realized he was young again, he brushed it off as a dream.
But after several nights, he realized that he wouldn’t change.
Kiel stopped counting after day one or day two and simply lived in despair.
Dozens of cages were lined up against the walls. Other children, like Kiel, as well as dogs, were locked behind the steel bars.
I really went back in time…
Kiel’s uncle had sold him to a dark sorcerer.
"Ma-Is it Magic?"
Kiel heard the dark magician’s voice, and the smoke that had piled up in the lab was instantly lifted.
“Devil, I called you…”
“Zhanbar, kill him.”
At the sound of the little girl’s voice, the leopard leaped at the magician.
After slashing his neck, the leopard looked around with the magician’s blood dripping from its mouth.
Surprised, Kiel looked at the magician’s corpse.
This was very different from the past he remembered.
He couldn’t remember his past all that well, but Kiel knew this had never happened.
In the past, the magician attempted to stab Kiel, but at the last moment, the relic from his mother saved him.
Holy power had protected Kiel.
In the past, the sorcerer had offered himself up to magic. But now, the sorcerer was dead.
How much longer could Kiel live without divine power? He didn’t know.
Could he survive?
Kiel wanted to avoid all the unfortunate events that had happened when he was a child. Kiel quietly closed his eyes and recalled the past.
His life was pathetic.
Suddenly, a voice interrupted his train of thought.
“My dear.”
Kiel slowly opened his eyes.
In front of him was a red-eyed girl.
“Are you all right?”
Seeing her used the leopard scared Kiel, but she looked like an ordinary ten-year-old girl seeing her up close. Her eyes slightly slanted upward, and she looked sad.
“Go home. There’s no more evil sorcerer.”
Kiel couldn’t find the right words to say. He had no home.
He dropped his head and sighed.
"If you have nowhere to go, will you come with me?"
This was the first time anyone had offered Kiel a hand.
The young girl reminded him of the darkness: black hair and fearful red eyes.
This was Kiel’s first encounter with Bella, a black angel.
