"Anyone who thinks they can co out of a fight against , take a step forward and cross the line, as for those who don't want to cross this line, pay up, pay as much as you think your lives are worth"
While they are pretty sure they will still be alive and surviving at the end of this ordeal, those words pretty much sounds like a death sentence to them, those sa words casting a dark gloom on their faces as if they are about to et their end.
"I-I'd like to pay" one among the strongest of the Great Ones, one of their front row seats spoke as she tries her best to stand up from her spot, approaching the pair of vampires with her body still trembling in fear, her gaze downwards seemingly avoiding theirs.
Taking a good look at this lady, the horn protruding from the edge of her forehead curling all the way to the back of her head, Su Xiaotian also recalled that she is one of the few who among these Great Ones that the had taken a special note of, particularly because of the force standing behind her back.
[Na: Lilith Lucifera]
[Age: 28]
[Affiliation: Great Desire Worldly Domain (Heir)]
[Connection: Lucifera Clan (Dream Demon Royal Family)]
[Greatest Backing: Leila Lucifera (Dream Demon Queen)]
'If I recall it correctly, that should be one of the seven royal kingdoms that occupies the south, demons, is it? This place really is more of a fantasy land more than the Eastern Continent' Su Xiaotian mutters to himself as he remains unmoving from his spot, allowing the young vampire earl, his student, to deal with everything rather than interfering with her thods.
"I see…" hearing the words from this horned lady, Liliana nods as the cold, unfeeling smile on her face cracked to reveal the tiniest hint of warmth, her hands extending towards the demon, Lilith, offering it to her, making this royal blood shake her head as she helplessly accepts the help, taking the hand of the one who just nearly pushed her to death.
"So, Princess Lilith, what do you think is the price of your own life?" the vampire earl asked with eagerness in her voice, not for the things she is about to receive, but rather for the ntal turmoil that this lady is about to go through.
After all, while it might be true that the best-case scenario for this is to lose as less as she can by giving what seems to be the less valuable, giving sothing of that kind of price is just outright humiliating herself, saying that her own life's price is just as much as or rather, as less as the item that she is willing to part with.
Of course, there will always be outliers that will think outside of this scope, and this demonic lady, this princess of the dream demons, appears to be one of them, her answer surprising not only Liliana and the Great Ones, but also Su Xiaotian who was just listening on the sideline.
"Well, I value my life fairly well so I don't think I can pay you up with anything I have right now, Earl Liliana, but at least allow to give you this~~" from the way she carries herself, along with the languid, coquettish nature, movent and voice seemingly oozing out of her being, one can truly understand just what sort of terrifying charm these dream demons possesses, a charm that made even the most staunch among these people shiver in a brief loss of self-control.
'Nothing huh…' as she takes out sothing from her spatial storage and hands said thing to Liliana, the dream demon's gaze was on the immortal-like figure watching everything transpire, the faint, confident smile on his face the very sa one he previously wears, almost as if the charm she spent her entire life to hone is nothing to him at all.
Feeling disappointed as she thought that her charms would sohow affect the one who seems to be the greatest support Liliana has right now, all else were shocked, extrely so, as they stare that the object that was now on Liliana's hand.
"This… this is quite the absurd price for your life, Princess…" even Liliana herself couldn't help but feel a bit baffled by what she received, prompting her to stare and scrutinize this lady once again, wondering what sort of little sches are going on her mind right now.
"Fufufu~~~ the only price that seems to be of an equal value to my life is the very sa thing, my life itself, Miss Liliana~~~" her alluring laughter echoes across the place as she uses one of her fair hands to cover her laughing, luscious lips, a faint twinkle in her abyssally black pupils as she stares at the spiraling confusion on her captor's face.
"Lilith!! Why should you give her sothing like that!!??"
"That's right!! You shouldn't lower yourself to such degree!!"
"You can still take it back Lilith!! Just find sothing else to give her, there are other things she need that you can give her!!"
Seemingly all snapping out of their dazed shock in unison, mbers of the Great Ones start shouting in a panicked manner as they stare at this beauty seemingly uncaring of the consequences of her own actions, their faces, ranging from trembling panic to raging jealousy, all pleading for her to change the price she paid.
Oddly enough, all these voices convincing her not to pay with the object now in Liliana's hands are all n, their voices seemingly begging, practically kneeling on their knees, filled with desperation, causing the princess of the dream demon to laugh in amusent once again.
This lodious laughter silences every single complaint floating in the air, allowing her to speak to them, her words like a dagger gradually burying itself deep inside them.
"Quite funny, isn't it?" she said as she stares at the vampire earl standing beside her, the pause in her sentence seemingly urging Liliana to reply in kind.
"What? The fact that they even dare to dictate the value of your own life? Not really surprising, that's one of the reasons why I told all of you that I've never, and will never even think about joining this little cult of yours" Liliana replies, her words filled with poisonous mockery as she stares at the remaining people still undecided whether to fight against her or pay for the prices of their lives, the mocking gaze piercing through the pride of these geniuses and making them feel all the more enraged.
"Mn, well, not that I bla them too much, after all, I know exactly why those n are all reacting like that" the princess of the dream demon replies as she stares at the hand of her captor, the very sa hand holding the paynt of the sa value as her own life.
"Fufu~~~ I see the case now" the young vampire earl also lets a faint laughter of amusent to slip out of her mouth as she covers it with her free hand, the gaze of mockery turning into one filled with disdain, this gaze not lasting for long as she now directs her attention to the object in her hand.
