Chapter 52

“In the event you cry once more, I’d be an actual scumbag, proper?”

“What do you imply abruptly?”

“It’s simply, I assumed it could be actually okay if I did one thing dangerous.”

Damian laughed bitterly. He appears to be saying one thing severe, however… He truly couldn’t get the temper to be too severe with the maid outfit and hair pinned in a bunch of pins.

I checked out him as he appeared dismayed now, then I spoke.

“Yeah, that’s what I heard. It’s a valuable factor to look again in your previous and acquire enlightenment. There are lots of people on the earth who couldn’t try this.”

“Wow, are you comforting me now?”

“…Please end speaking concerning the ring.”

“That, um, later.”

“What?”

I frowned as I checked out him, seemingly nonetheless having one thing to say. Damian’s eyes met mine and he smiled, however I may clearly see his awkwardness. He has one thing he was hiding from me now.

“…Commander. Maybe.”

Maybe Grandmother was proper.

“Child. What would you do in the event that they wouldn’t allow you to go?”

I informed her firmly that it was unimaginable, however contemplating how totally different Damian’s perspective was from the same old, one thing was incorrect. I wished to consider that this wasn’t the case, however the phrases got here out of my mouth sooner than I may assume it by.

“You didn’t need me to search out my ring, did you?”

After I spoke, I held my breath. In the event you don’t need me to search out it, why did you say this? It was once I was urgent my trembling lips with my hand. Damian checked out me and mentioned.

“Sure. I didn’t need you to search out it if potential.”

His voice and face had been so peaceable. It was extra absurd somewhat than annoying on the perspective that appeared to say one thing apparent. Why didn’t he need me to search out it?

“After you discover the ring, you’ll go away the palace. And you’ll by no means come again.”

“…So, that’s why you saved altering the topic and didn’t inform me something? Since you don’t need me to go away the palace? Commander, do you want me?”

“Huh? No. I don’t.”

“Then why…”

“That’s as a result of I miss you while you aren’t by my facet.”

Was he joking or was he actually being severe? Damian’s reply left me speechless. It’s not like he preferred me or something—simply that, if I’m not by his facet, he’s going to overlook me? The extra we talked, the extra snarled my ideas grew to become. Urgent my throbbing forehead, I requested once more.

“Did the opposite commanders know? Did you all agree?”

“The Hyungs and I didn’t need you leaving the fortress.”

“…You mentioned you had been sorry earlier. to me. However how?”

“I’m sorry, however I don’t need to say I’m sorry. Then I’ll really feel like I used to be actually incorrect.”

“Are you conscious of how shameless you’re being proper now? Huh? No, regardless of how…”

What to do. I really feel like I’m about to cry. My breath began to suffocate and my nostril began to get stuffy. My abdomen began gurgling from discomfort and awkwardness. Damian out of the blue fell to his knees as blood spurted from the tender flesh inside my bitten lip.

“I received’t say I’m sorry. After I notice I’m incorrect, I can’t do something. However when you’re indignant, you possibly can hit me. You’ll be able to kick or step on me and slap me on the cheek. In the event you nonetheless don’t really feel good, similar to that evening…”

“AH! What are you speaking about! Who mentioned that… Damian, are you crying?”

“Ung.”

“Why are you crying?”

“As a result of I’m weak towards your tears, I assumed you would possibly let me go if I cry.”

“…….”

I blinked my eyes. Tears had welled up and ran down my cheeks, however no extra tears got here out. Somewhat, Damian shed tears extra mournfully than I did. I couldn’t inform if these tears had been honest or if he was simply appearing.

“I can’t let what you probably did go simply since you’re crying.”

“I’m simply crying as a result of I’m weak towards your tears.”

“Damian. You already know what you’re saying could be very contradictory? You mentioned you didn’t like me. But when I’m not by your facet, you’ll miss me, and also you’re weak towards my tears…”

I misplaced my phrases and bit my lip. If he had any emotions for me, I’d solely really feel burdened. Damian laughed as his head was transferring in an advanced approach.

“Do you need to affirm it? Whether or not I actually such as you or not. Truly, I ponder about that, too. Am I inquisitive about your succubus’ talents, or is it actually one thing else?”

I clenched my fists on the informal phrases. Sure, that I assumed that clearly meant that different folks thought that approach too. Afterwards, I exhaled.

“If this can be a created feeling, would you assume I wish to see you and have you ever by my facet once I come again to my senses? I’m undecided.”

“That…”

“But when I see you again as a human and I don’t need to see you anymore, or if I can’t really feel the feelings I’m feeling proper now, I’m going to be disenchanted too. I don’t need that. Ugh, severely. I didn’t need to say one thing like this, however what’s the massive deal about needing to kneel down and cry if I must?”

I had the identical thought. So I may perceive his coronary heart. The distinction between the 2 of us was that he didn’t dislike himself for having favorable emotions towards me, and I disliked myself who was capable of harbor favorable emotions towards the commanders.

However that didn’t make me perceive what he was doing. I blinked my eyes tightly, calming my trembling voice and talking out.

“Nonetheless, I can’t forgive you.”

“Sure. Don’t forgive me. I simply need to hold being the dangerous man. That approach, even when you ask me, I can’t say something.”

“Actually, I’m irritated.”

As I mentioned that, Damian laughed amusedly similar to when he knelt down on his knees and cried and begged.

“Nonetheless, I’m crying, however you’re not crying. Wow, that works nice. It’s my first time crying in entrance of anybody. Even kneeling.”

I checked out Damian and sighed. and reached out to him. Did he come right here with this in thoughts from the start? He stared at me, holding my hand and stood up. The environment was awkward. I spoke bluntly, feeling that my interior emotions had been clearly uncovered.

“Are you doing this on goal? I need to speak concerning the ring. You intentionally made it awkward.”

“If I’m speaking first, I’m breaking the promise I made with the Hyungs, but it surely doesn’t matter when you discover it and I reply.”

“…Who’s the clever man who considered hiding it?”

“Me.”

“You damned bastard!”

After he replied casually, I ended up kicking him. As I hit the middle, Damian took a deep breath and collapsed. However somewhat than feeling refreshed after hitting him, it simply felt like my insides had been was even greater knots. They promised to search out it. Ares and Endymion, they solely confirmed facet in entrance of me…

I held again my tears as I checked out Damian, who fell to the ground and cried in ache.

“I need to be alone. Please go away.”

“I, I’m dyi…”

I hurriedly put his wig on, which he had taken off, and opened the door. Everybody could be going to work, so nobody could be passing by. After pushing Damian who was grumbling exterior, I spat out all of the curses I knew and hit the mattress.

It felt like my insides had been boiling. Cheated? Repeatedly? I used to be indignant and couldn’t stand it. After which, a voice got here into my head.

“Can I assist you?”

“…Lilith?”

Figuring out that I used to be the one one within the room, I frowned and appeared round. Then I seen that my reflection within the mirror was standing nonetheless and smiling. When our eyes met, the crimson eyes that glowed unusually had been curved into crescent moons.

“You, how…”

“I already discovered about it. It’s okay, although, because it obtained Damian to go down on his knees.”

“What, you knew?”

“I heard from Odil yesterday.”

“…Odil? Why are you mentioning that individual’s identify right here? Odil doesn’t know that I’m you.”

“He knew. He simply saved it a secret since you had been afraid of him. You had some inkling of it to some extent. proper? It was simply that you just didn’t need to care.”

As I reached out my hand as if possessed, Lilith within the mirror stretched out her hand. I frowned as if I used to be about to cry, however Lilith was nonetheless smiling. What’s so amusing?

“What occurred yesterday? You need to know why I couldn’t use my magic.”

So long as Lilith was in me, Damian’s guess was incorrect. I used to be nonetheless a succubus. She smiled brightly once I requested the query with out hiding my nervous, trembling voice.

“Yesterday I did one thing enjoyable. Odil and Endymion.”

“…Th-three of you?”

“No, we did it individually, so don’t fear. However Endymion retains saying imply issues and Odil is hiding one thing… So, I thought of it for a bit.”

“Why did you retain me from remembering such an necessary factor?”

“It’s since you are so weak. I’d somewhat have Damian confess to you first and make you indignant. In any other case, you’ll have been eaten by me after crying by now.”

I took a breath as I watched Lilith playfully clenched and prolonged her fists. She was proper. If Damian hadn’t acted like that, I’d have been crying and hurting, somewhat than getting indignant. I’d have been at a loss for what to do.

I didn’t notice it, however in a approach, it was a really lucky factor for me. Lilith, who snorted, continued.

“Not having the ability to use magic was simply since you’re cranky.”

“Cranky? Simply being cranky is making me have your physique like this?”

“What’s incorrect with that physique? It’s fairly and good. I’m telling you proper now—you’ve been doing this for therefore lengthy already, however why do you retain attempting to cover it when you might have such a fairly face?”

“It’s an excessive amount of! Even now, I feel that’s sufficient, how am I presupposed to be a maid with a face like this?”

“Then why don’t you do one thing apart from the maid? One thing like an empress or a noble woman.”

Was my sixteen-year-old head full of a flower backyard like this? My face heated up within the sudden rush of disgrace. Lilith didn’t even take into consideration my circumstances, and he or she was speaking as a lot as she wished. I’d cowl her mouth if she stood in entrance of me, however I couldn’t as a result of she was within the mirror.

“Cease, cease. Let me use my powers earlier than that.”

“No. You all the time mentioned you don’t need to be like a succubus.”

“Then put my face again to regular. If I wasn’t a succubus, I wouldn’t have modified like this.”

“No can do for that, both. I like that I’m fairly. You had been extra indignant than that. Don’t you need revenge?”

“So, give the magic again.”

“If I give it again, how will you torment them? Don’t do it, simply go away it to me. I received’t take your recollections this time, and I’ll go away your consciousness intact.”

Belief me, I don’t know what to belief. However she was proper. Even when I used to be ready to make use of magical energy, all I may do was tie them up with tentacles.

Taking one step nearer, I exhaled and requested calmly.

“…What are you going to do?”

“We’re a succubus. We now have to do it the succubus approach, proper?”

“I don’t need that…”

“Then what, is there one other approach? It’s simple to make them really feel good to the purpose that their ecstasy appears like they’re about to die—like I did with Endymion yesterday.”

I coated my face with the picture of Lilith who mentioned proudly that she had made him really feel good till he died. In the way in which of a succubus… It was one thing I couldn’t do in my proper thoughts. Nevertheless.

“…I can’t do it in my proper thoughts.”

“How un-fun. Are you saying that once more?”

“However I’m indignant. I’m so indignant that I can’t stand it.”

The emotion that made my abdomen boil wasn’t simply anger, it was a sense of betrayal. I believed them. I assumed they had been good folks.

I made a decision to offer in to the whispers of the satan.

“I’ll go away it to you. And in some way, discover out concerning the ring.”

“In the event you discover the ring, you’ll put me to sleep once more.”

“…To be trustworthy, I can’t say that I received’t. However did you hear what I mentioned to Damian earlier? Earlier than something that places you to sleep, it’s your grandmother’s memento. I have to discover it.”

“Ugh. It’s good to be trustworthy. All proper, my candy Lily. For you, I’ll bully them. Till they cry and beg at my toes!”

Oh no. You don’t should go that far. After I was about to say that, my consciousness was left, however not my company. Similar to the evening I slept with Ares.

“I’ll transfer at evening.”

Lilith appeared within the mirror and smiled probably the most stunning smile I had ever seen.
