For demons, desire was a concept that took precedence over everything else.
Even if a being chose to coexist with humans, overcoming inherent limitations for that purpose would be impossible.
‘Ah, this shouldn’t be happening…’
Of course, if one had imnse power like her master, they could endure, but the one before her was infinitely weaker in comparison.
Even without considering lower-ranked officers, it was certain that a re demon, vastly inferior to her, would lead to a terrible death in a direct confrontation.
The human race, trampled by the Demon King’s army, was such a weak and insignificant existence.
‘I know this makes Hyo-sung suffer, but even this side of him is so adorable.’
Yes, now the only thing that freed her from the endless cycle of longing for past glories, the only way to realize her desires, was through his existence.
Even if he were a frail human or fell to a status less than that of livestock or insects, her feelings for him would not change.
This unwavering heart, constant in any state, must indeed be defined as love.
‘Such a lovely person is dancing to my tune at this mont.’
But even such feelings ultimately stem not from altruism but from selfishness.
The one before her was not an object of loyalty but a ans and an end itself to fulfill her desires.
‘So just a little bit more…’
The more she thought of her master, who was not swayed by her performance, the more intense these feelings beca.
How could she, longing for a relationship with him, suppress this impulse?
‘Just a little. Just a tiny bit more…!’
“rilyn.”
But the performance, which she continued absentmindedly, only stopped for a mont.
Upon hearing a voice from behind, rilyn stopped playing and quickly turned to look behind her.
The only person who was both her rival and could keep her impulses in check.
“Ah, Airi?”
The chill in her gaze felt much harsher than usual.
Naturally. The original plan was to adjust the level gradually and perform training suitable for his stage.
Acting recklessly like this could crush the seed before it even had a chance to grow.
From the perspective of soone hoping for his growth, wouldn’t she be angry?
“Ah~ I’m sorry. I just got carried away without realizing it…”
rilyn, belatedly realizing her mistake, suppressed her impulse.
Of course, if they fought again, she wouldn’t be defeated like last ti, but winning such a fight would bring no benefit.
If the impulse continued to be suppressed, there might co a mont when she couldn’t bear it, but it wasn’t yet at that point.
“It was just a joke. I didn’t an it seriously…”
“No, please continue.”
As she was about to step back after reaching that conclusion, what ca back to her was an encouragent—the complete opposite of the expected reprimand.
“What?”
“I said to continue your previous performance. In fact, it would be better if the play were more intense than now.”
At Airi’s words, rilyn began to stare at her blankly.
Continue playing, not stop? Even more intensely?
‘What on earth…? Didn’t this woman want to protect Hyo-sung?’
For a mont, she wondered if she had lost her mind, but Airi’s gaze had already shifted from her to him.
“To prevent what Tashian will soon do at this excavation site…”
Everything was for the coexistence of love and mission.
The first challenge in making him a savior would start with him eliminating the last dragon left in this world.
