Chapter 166: Long Ti No See [The End]
"Upon returning from the Demonic Realm, Rosalie and Damien found themselves back in the Imperial Palace that belonged to Prince Rostan.
There, the duchess learned that Damien managed to arrive in Izaar re monts after Rosalie was brought to a eting with Asmodeus. Duke Dio was greeted by Roksolana who promised him that he could see Haemir as well.
With his heart filled with passion and love for his wife, Damien managed to convince the Demonic Judge to let him see the Demon of Lust as well, however, right before he was about to disappear, Altair stord inside Roksolana’s Palace, demanding to join the duke in his journey to the underworld.
Contrary to their anticipations, Amarath agreed, warning the n that only two people would be able to co back to the world of living.
"Why did you do that, Revered Altair?"
Damien finally asked as the two of them stood in the dark, empty room, waiting for the appearance of Asmodeus.
Altair offered the duke a rather mocking grin, his voice acquiring a colder tone while he tried to explain his actions,
"I was warned by phisto that Asmodeus is the sliest of all Demons and everything he says or promises should be taken with a grain of salt. You are not the only one who is worried about Lady Rosalie, Your Grace, and now that you are practically powerless, I think my being here with you was not such a bad idea after all. Your recklessness might have cost you your life. And the life of Lady Rosalie."
"So what do you think is going to happen?"
Damien furrowed his eyebrows, anticipating an obvious response and Altair did not fail to give it to him.
"phisto said that tonight is the night Asmodeus is holding his annual gathering. With the two of us here, he will probably make us fight for the sake of entertainnt."

at this rate."
"Not necessarily," Altair took a step closer to the duke and continued, "I can transfer most of my power to you. I will still need so of it in order to make him believe no exchange was made but you will be way stronger than
regardless. Rember what Haemir told us? Only one of us can return. It should be you, Your Grace."
And Altair was not wrong.
Thanks to phisto’s warning, he was able to transfer his demonic power to Damien, making him the strongest warrior once more and letting himself die at his hands, sacrificing his once aningless life to protect sothing he finally found his faith in.

Upon returning to Rische, Rosalie also learned that Princess Angelica was the Hidden Saintess all along and it was she who helped Duke Damien break the curse of Ac Fever.
Despite her fears, Angelica was not turned into the doll of religious veneration. With the support of Izaar, she traveled across the Continent promoting religious peace and tolerance among people, and thanks both to her overpowering sincerity and convincing charisma, even the stern supporters of religious unity softened their grip on the rciless sword of faith, allowing people the right to have different religious views as long as they were not harmful to one another.
Eventually, Angelica was chosen as Rische’s next Empress while Loyd gave up his right to the throne in order to beco an Imperial Scholar and help his sister rule over their Empire with both a kind, understanding heart and knowledgeable head.
Rosalie gave birth to a healthy boy who received the na of a friend who was once lost but managed to find his way in the light of her shining eyes.
Her first son was nad Altair."
