Episode 9 takes a darker turn as a mysterious figure from Zagan’s past surfaces, threatening not only his position as an archdemon but also his relationship with Nephy. After the lighthearted moments at the festival, this episode brings tension and conflict, reminding Zagan that his role in the demon world comes with many enemies.

The episode opens with Zagan and Nephy returning from the Demon Festival, feeling more connected than ever. However, their peaceful return is interrupted by the appearance of Bifrons, a powerful and manipulative demon who shares a complicated history with Zagan. Bifrons, known for his cunning and underhanded tactics, harbors a deep grudge against Zagan for rising so quickly to the rank of archdemon. He sees Zagan’s attachment to Nephy as a weakness and plans to exploit it.

Bifrons arrives uninvited at Zagan’s castle, under the pretense of renewing old “friendships.” His presence immediately puts Zagan on edge, as he knows Bifrons’ reputation for causing trouble. Nephy, sensing the tension but unaware of Bifrons’ history with Zagan, tries to remain composed, though she feels uneasy around the new arrival. Barbatos, sensing danger, sticks close to Zagan, warning him that Bifrons is likely plotting something sinister.

Throughout the episode, Bifrons uses his sharp wit and manipulation to toy with Zagan, making subtle remarks about Zagan’s relationship with Nephy and questioning his ability to rule as an archdemon while being “softened” by an elf. He insinuates that Zagan’s feelings for Nephy will lead to his downfall, something Zagan silently fears but refuses to admit. Nephy, overhearing parts of these conversations, becomes conflicted, wondering if she’s a burden to Zagan and whether her presence is truly jeopardizing his safety.

The central conflict arises when Bifrons sets a trap, challenging Zagan to a magical duel under the guise of a friendly competition. In truth, Bifrons intends to use the duel to publicly humiliate Zagan, proving that his emotions for Nephy have made him weak. Zagan, aware of the trap but unwilling to back down, accepts the challenge. The duel is an intense, high-stakes battle of magic, with both demons demonstrating immense power.

During the duel, Bifrons pushes Zagan to his limits, taunting him about his affection for Nephy, calling it a distraction that will eventually destroy him. Zagan, initially thrown off by the insults, begins to doubt himself. However, as the battle intensifies, Zagan’s determination to protect Nephy—rather than be weakened by his feelings—fuels his power. He ultimately defeats Bifrons, proving that his strength comes not from being emotionless, but from his genuine care for those he wishes to protect.

The episode’s emotional peak occurs after the duel, when Nephy, deeply affected by the insults Bifrons hurled during the fight, quietly confronts Zagan. She expresses her fear that she might be holding him back, even though she has come to care for him deeply. Zagan,

00:00What did you say? Raphael Hurandal?
00:09What is he doing here?
00:11But what is he doing?
00:28Alright, let's do it.
00:33Stop Barbatos.
00:35Adhay, you broke my magical circle again.
00:38Calm down. Let me enjoy the jam.
00:41How can you sit so peacefully?
00:43Do you want him to kill us?
00:45Listen to me. I don't think he's here to fight us.
00:50That's what I think. But why is he here?
00:53Now that he's here, why don't we have an exam?

03:32I don't want to die.
03:33I don't want to die.
03:34I don't want to die.
03:35I've heard that killing magicians has become your habit.
03:38I hope that you won't have any problem with the presence of two magicians here.
03:43Stop this nonsense.
03:45My job is to finish Chingari before he turns into fire.
03:49This is quite different from what I heard about him.
03:52Is he really the same person who has killed 500 magicians?
03:56You and Chester have already met.
03:59Am I right?
04:00Was he so capable that he became a threat to you?
04:04Not completely.
04:05All I can say is that he was the most powerful warrior I've ever seen.
04:11So this is it.
04:13This means that Chester can be a big threat to the church.
04:18What are you trying to say?
04:20He has refused to fight against the archdemon, Zagan.
04:24This is enough reason for the church to remove him from his post.
04:29Idiot.
04:30He was the one who got him to fight.
04:32He would have been smart if he had stayed there and done what he wanted.
04:36I didn't think he was smart before, but this time...
04:40I agree with you.
04:42Anyway, I know what I wanted to know.
04:44I'm leaving.
04:45I'll see you soon.
04:47So this is it.
04:49He came here to find out about the relationship between me and Chester.
04:53Maybe he came here to find an excuse to kill him.
04:57Stop.
04:59You know, that girl has a lot of friends in this city.
05:02Friends who will be very sad about her death.
05:06And fortunately, this city is my city.
05:08If you take a wrong step, it won't be good.
05:12I didn't think an archdemon would talk like that.
05:15This is what an archdemon looks like.
05:22You turned out just like I thought you would.
05:25You are the same demon that the church can sacrifice everything for.
05:33I don't feel good about this.
05:35You're a magician.
05:36Do you think you'll like what an angelic knight says?
05:39You should kill that old man before he does anything.
05:44Okay, then go and kill him.
05:48So you want him to kill me?
05:50I want you to die, but I didn't mean that.
05:54You want me to die?
05:56I want you to keep an eye on Chester.
06:00What? But why should I do that?
06:02Because it will be easier to do that with the help of magic.
06:05Barbatos, the purgatory.
06:07Remember, he's also an angelic knight.
06:09Still, you're going to help him?
06:11Get out of here.
06:13And yes, I'll give you some better books in return.
06:18What should I do with him now?
06:21You will regret this decision.
06:29Wait, you...
06:31He left without paying me.
06:34I was the one who told him to leave, but he fooled me instead.
06:40Nephi must be asleep by now.
06:44Why did you take so long to come home?
06:47Nephi?
06:48Nephi?
06:50You should have gone to sleep by now.
06:57But she insisted.
06:59She wanted me to wait for you to come home.
07:03But she slept before I came.
07:05She worked very hard today.
07:07She helped me take all the books from the fort to the library.
07:12But those were a lot of books.
07:15Yes, she wanted to keep those books for you.
07:19I see.
07:20She also told me that you're willing to keep them with you for thousands of years.
07:27I think she's very happy to hear that.
07:34Dragons live much longer than humans.
07:37And perhaps the time they spend with someone means a lot to them.
07:41And perhaps that's why she wants to avenge her parents' murder.
07:47I have to kill that murderer before he attacks Var.
07:52It would have been so nice if I could stay with you for so many years.
07:56You?
07:57What are you saying?
08:00Will you stay with me till the day you die?
08:03Of course.
08:04I will stay with you wherever you go.
08:12Was Neffi's eyes always this big?
08:17It feels like I've never seen her up close.
08:20So much time has passed.
08:21We haven't spent much time together.
08:25Her scent is so lovely.
08:27Did she just take a bath?
08:29Her hair is still wet.
08:33Neffi.
08:34Neffi.
08:40Lord Zeke.
08:43Zegan, come out quickly.
08:47Hey, Zegan.
08:49Why don't you answer me?
08:50You're the one who...
08:53Get out of here, Barbatos.
08:55Or I'll kill you.
08:57What have I done now?
09:00Mr. Still.
09:01He's been poisoned.
09:03Someone must have given him something to drink.
09:06Neffi, come here quickly.
09:08See what's wrong with him.
09:09Yes, I'll be right there.
09:15What's all this noise?
09:17I'm sorry, Far.
09:18We woke you up.
09:30Angelic Knight?
09:38What?
09:39Zegan, stop her.
09:44Why are you stopping me?
09:46This girl is a guest of this house.
09:48You can't kill her.
09:52Do you hate Angelic Knight?
09:54You know it very well, Zegan.
09:56I'm a magician just to take revenge on Angelic Knight.
10:00Is he the one who hurt you?
10:03The one who killed my father had only a sacred sword.
10:07You're not wrong.
10:08But was he the one who killed him?
10:10Let's say you killed him.
10:12But will it have any effect on the real culprit?
10:15By doing this, it will only increase the number of your enemies.
10:18Which will make it more difficult for you to take revenge.
10:21Dragons often make the same mistake.
10:23What are you trying to say?
10:27Remember one thing.
10:29If you want to take revenge,
10:31you'll have to make your enemies suffer so much
10:34that they'll fall at your feet and beg for their lives.
10:40Only then can you kill them.
10:43That's how you'll take revenge.
10:45You won't find peace by killing them easily.
10:48Zegan, have you ever taken revenge on anyone?
10:52Yes, I did.
10:54But I killed him in a hurry.
10:57After that, I never found peace.
11:02That's why I'm going to teach you how to take revenge.
11:08There are many things in this castle that can make your enemies suffer.
11:17Yes, I understand.
11:20My brother.
11:22Is it necessary to teach such things to a child?
11:37Where am I?
11:39So you're back to your senses.
11:41Zegan!
11:43Thank Nefi.
11:45She's the one who cured you.
11:47Cured me?
11:49Someone tried to poison you.
11:51Who do you suspect?
11:53It's hard to say.
11:55Wait a minute.
11:57I got a call through a letter.
11:59But it didn't say the name of the person who sent it.
12:03The person I met was from the church.
12:05He mentioned a group of people who make compromises.
12:08They believe in peace and living together.
12:11The purpose of the church is to kill these magicians.
12:14We shouldn't kill people like this.
12:17We all believe in this.
12:20I didn't know there was such a group.
12:23They didn't show me their faces.
12:26They said it's better to hide their identity.
12:30I thought they were a little familiar, but...
12:35Would you like to help us?
12:37Going against the church means that you also need protection.
12:43Do they really want to help me?
12:46Don't they work for Lord Claybill?
12:48No, if that's the case...
12:50You have time to think.
12:52But very little.
12:54And yes.
12:56If you want proof of my loyalty,
12:58you only have to take one name in trouble.
13:01That name is Aurobus.
13:03Yes, that was the name.
13:05So is this your name?
13:07You can say that, or not.
13:10You can think of it as the name of our leader.
13:13Remember, no matter what happens,
13:16this name will always protect you.
13:19Can I believe this?
13:22Lord Raphael is here.
13:24If I care about my life,
13:26then I should believe this.
13:29But even if I stay alive,
13:32what else can I do?
13:34I know nothing but Angelic Knight.
13:41Oh!
13:53Was there poison in that tea?
13:55Who do you think could have poisoned you?
13:59I can't say anything.
14:01Lord Raphael is the only one I suspect, but...
14:04If he wanted to kill you,
14:06he would have beheaded you.
14:08Do you know about him?
14:10Yes, I know.
14:12Anyway, forget all this.
14:14Now that you are such a good friend of Nephi,
14:16for now, consider this house as your home.
14:19Hey, wait!
14:22What are you doing?
14:26I...
14:28Can you stay with me for a little longer?
14:32It would be better if you call Nephi to you.
14:36Yes, you are right.
14:39Forgive me.
14:48But we can't wake Nephi up so late at night,
14:51so I will sit here and read my book.
14:54Thank you so much.
14:56What did I want to do?
14:59Did I want to make him angry?
15:02No.
15:04I want Zegan and Nephi to be happy.
15:07That's right.
15:09But I want to be a part of their happiness.
15:14But I don't know if I can be a part of their happiness.
15:24Hey!
15:25I had to change my emotions, not the situation!
15:28Miss Chesterl, you really look good.
15:31I have never touched anything other than a sword.
15:35I gave you a place to stay here,
15:37so you have to pay for it.
15:39To stay here, you will have to do everything
15:42that Nephi asks you to do.
15:44I understand.
15:45But you could have said this with a little love.
15:48You ruined my mood.
15:52She is so cute.
15:54What is your name?
15:55Come to me.
15:56Don't talk to me for no reason.
15:58Drama Queen.
15:59What? Drama Queen?
16:01But what did I do to her?
16:06Actually, her father was killed by the owner of a sacred sword.
16:11I know you are not guilty of this murder.
16:13And you should not give her any explanation.
16:16If possible, understand this.
16:18Then it would be better if I leave here forever.
16:22No.
16:23You don't have to worry about Far.
16:25She is still naive, but very self-confident.
16:28I don't think you will ever have a problem with that girl.
16:34Zekan!
16:37She screamed again.
16:38What happened this time?
16:40M-Meghan!
16:42Zekan, help me!
16:45This is happening for the third time in such a short time.
16:49Stop laughing.
16:50You told me that she would never bother me.
16:53So what is this?
16:54Anyway, without using her powers, she tried to bother you.
16:58She is just a child.
17:00And if children don't do such things, who else will?
17:03You are being too soft with her.
17:06Really?
17:07Yes.
17:15This girl.
17:16I think she doesn't know anything other than fighting with a sword.
17:20By the way, you look much better than before.
17:24Huh?
17:29Was she worried about me?
17:37It's been ten days since that new guest came.
17:40Who would have thought that there would be an angelic knight in Demon's Fort today?
17:45But this is true.
17:46That girl is one of those murderers who has that sacred sword.
17:50We have found out that her name is Justel.
17:52But the thing is that name doesn't suit her at all.
17:55For her, Drama Queen is the right name.
17:57And that Drama Queen is no less than a disaster.
18:05Sometimes I doubt her being an angelic knight.
18:08And sometimes I pity her for her condition.
18:21Help!
18:23I don't know how to tell you.
18:27It's fun to trouble her.
18:34Can I talk to you?
18:37I am ashamed of my husband's behavior.
18:40You don't have to be ashamed.
18:44This is such a nice place to take a bath.
18:46Yes.
18:47Lord Zekan got it fixed for me.
18:49So that I can use it.
18:52Is that so?
18:53Huh?
18:54What happened?
18:55Nothing.
18:56I can see how easily you two got along with each other.
19:00Oh, you are right.
19:02We even take a bath together these days.
19:05What did you say?
19:06Together?
19:07Yes.
19:08It's a little difficult to guess.
19:11But we have a lot of fun while taking a bath.
19:15What fun do you have?
19:18We wash each other's hair and hug each other.
19:21What?
19:22You hug each other?
19:23That girl is very nice.
19:25I am sure one day you two will become friends.
19:28Huh?
19:31Wait.
19:32First tell me clearly.
19:34Who were you talking to while taking a bath?
19:36Huh?
19:37I was talking to Far.
19:39Oh, yes.
19:40You are right.
19:41Who else could it be?
19:43Who else could it be?
19:45Who else could it be?
19:47Huh?
19:48Did you think that I...
19:49Huh?
19:53Did you come to tell me what I did to that girl?
19:57If you can understand so much, why do you do such things?
20:00But what should I do?
20:01Let me think.
20:03Don't do any mischief while eating.
20:07Yes, I know it very well.
20:09And I remember that you told me not to kill her.
20:12Hmm.
20:13Whatever you have done is right.
20:16Really?
20:18Now listen, Far.
20:19Nephew and I have talked about this.
20:21Now you tell me.
20:23Do you want to stay here?
20:24Huh?
20:26We believe that you want to stay here.
20:29But I thought I should ask you once.
20:32But I...
20:35If you don't want to tell me now, it's okay.
20:37Answer me later.
20:38You are free to do anything.
20:40Just remember one thing.
20:42Nephew and I will always wait for your answer.
20:45Hmm.
20:47Thank you very much.
20:55Huh?
20:57Dad?
20:59Dad, where are you?
21:04Huh?
21:08Huh?
21:39Don't do this, Zegan.
21:42If he gets angry and takes out his sword, it will be easier.
21:48Lord Zegan, listen!
21:51Nephew, what's the matter?
21:53Far!
