DEMON GIRL LOOKING FOR LOVE
First Smile

Gayle comes to Cedric's house with Leviathan, they plan to bring Lucia back to hell with Lucas later. But apparently without them knowing, Lucia was not in the house because she was going out alone.

"Miss Lucia wasn't in her room." Said the butler in Cedric's house. "We don't know where he is. Or it looks like he's with young master Cedric who's filling out an event at the town hall."

"really? About when did he come home?" Ask Gayle.

"Now it's six in the afternoon, probably two to three hours away." Answer the butler. "Is there a message we can give you?"

"Please give me Cedric's phone number." Gayle.

"I'm sorry, young master told me not to give people his phone number for fear that the person is a fan of his who intends to disturb him." Answer the butler.

...----------------...

Lucia walks alone on the side of the road in the middle of town. Finally the demon girl decided to go out and take a walk in the middle of the city alone. Look around for flickering Christmas decorations and notice the crowds along the street on a dark day. Although the snow is falling very heavily, people still celebrate Christmas and do not care about the cold air at this time.

Lucia's small steps stopped in front of a music store. His left hand was clutching a green umbrella to protect himself from the snowdrops that could burn his skin. Her eyes were fixed on a storefront in a music box where a male and female pair of dolls were found inside the snowy crystal music box. The male and female puppets joined hands.

The girl just silently looked at him. At the moment he thought of nothing and just looked at the music box.

...----------------...

Gayle and Leviathan go to the town hall to meet Cedric. They rushed into a room after finding out that Cedric was in the room. Gayle told the suspect that he was Cedric's brother and wanted to meet him to tell him something.

"Cedric." Call Gayle when you enter the room.

Cedric who was alone in the room saw the astonishment at the presence of the two people. But his feelings become unpleasant knowing that something will happen to Lucia. The young man immediately stood up from his seat.

"Where is Cia?" Gayle asked without further ado when she didn't see Lucia being with Cedric in the room.

"What's this?" Cedric was puzzled by Gayle and Leviathan. "Cia?"

"Lucia must be here too, right?" Leviathan looks impatient waiting for Cedric's answer regarding Lucia's whereabouts.

"Why are you looking for Cia?" Cedric did not immediately answer their questions about Lucia. "What are you guys gonna do?"

Lucas appeared in the room. Seeing her presence, Cedric becomes convinced that they are looking for Lucia to bring the girl to her home.

"Tell me where the girl is?" Lucas gripped Cedric for being impatient.

"Are you going to take him back to hell?" Cedric looked at Lucas coldly.

"Lucifer will come today if now I don't take him to hell." Lucas replied that he still did not loosen the grip of his hand on Cedric's collar. "Don't hide Lucia from me!!?"

Cedric did not answer, thinking that they had all come to meet him at the town hall because they would not have found Lucia in his house. If Lucia leaves her house, she doesn't know where she is.

"Jawab Cedric, this is for the good of us humans. He must take Cia right now to avoid Lucifer coming to the human world." Gayle walked up to Cedric and Lucas.

"Tell me, why didn't you just take Cia back to hell? Is there any other meaning to you why you still let your sister live in the human world when in fact whenever you can take her?" Cedric asked with a sharp look. "Is it because you want to know the truth about demons who can also feel love?"

"I know." Cedric Smile.

Seeing Cedric's reaction, Lucas let go of his grip and looked in wonder at the young man. Lucas learns that Cedric knows who Lucia loves.

"Tell me, too, can demons be human?" Cedric asked coldly.

"Don't say anything weird, Ced. That's not possible." Gayle Exclamation.

"Lucifer won't allow Lucia to become human even if the devil can turn into human." Leviathan. "Because she's going to be the queen of demons, and we're going to get married."

Cedric turned to the red-haired demon youth who was looking at him as well. He was quite surprised to hear that word about Lucia getting married to the young man. But he felt that it was not important because he believed that demons could turn into humans.

"Ced, just tell me where Cia is right now?" Again Gayle asked impatiently.

"Unfortunately, I don't know where Cia is." Answer Cedric. "He told me he just wanted to be home and not come with me to this place."

"What are you saying that's true?" Search Lucas with a look of disbelief.

"I'm just a pathetic young man, so there's no reason for me to hide or detain Cia anymore." Cedric answered with a grim face.

...----------------...

Legolas decides to go for a walk after driving Chloe home. He runs his car slowly around the city to enjoy the Christmas atmosphere at night.

She has decided to stop her plans to marry Chloe. After hearing Chloe's words yesterday, Legolas decides not to push himself because he doesn't want to hurt Chloe. The young man was already aware of his changing feelings for Chloe at this moment.

He feels guilty now. The fact that Lucas is also going to bring Lucia back to hell makes her feel a sense of sadness. However, Lucia must return to hell so that all humans do not perish and that the demon girl is also fine. That's the best thing right now.

When Legolas turned right at a crossroads, he suddenly saw a familiar figure standing in front of a music box storefront with a green umbrella, while Gayle called him. The young man stopped his car to answer the phone.

"Olas, there's bad news." Gayle on the other end of the phone. "Cia disappeared again. He'll have to go back to hell tonight otherwise Lucifer will come now."

There was no response from the young man. He hung up the phone and got out of the car.

Lucia drew her gaze from the music box which for a few minutes she noticed. He was about to return to Cedric's house now that his skin had been pierced by the extremely cold air.

"Cia..."

Lucia's steps were stifled when she heard someone calling her from behind. He knew the voice of the person who called him. He immediately turned to face the young man on his back.

"Good christmas, Cia."

A smile was drawn on Lucia's lips as she saw Legolas standing before her at this moment. It was the demon girl's first smile.
