Lilith's POV
Sitting before , Saishi was looking at with so much contempt in his eyes that it made recall the fact that at the end of the day, he was also a human.
After all, he doesn't have the curse that I bear. After all, he will die one day and his existence will cease. And after all, he was also scared of death, like every other person I t over the years.
This is the first ti I'm seeing him in so much agitation. He never raised his voice up until this mont. But it's not his fault that he doesn't know about the contract.
It's not his fault for expecting help from , but I could do nothing except staying still and watch how events unfold. I can't interfere even if I wanted to. I hate being a dead weight.
This complete ss wasn't my fault to begin with, but one other person was responsible for this. It was all his fault. He successfully threw dirt on my na. My only fault was that I played along with his plan.
He took everything from .
My house, my holand, my na.
My dignity.
No matter how much I tried to prove my innocence, no one paid any attention to because all the evidence was also against .
But neither did people understand there, nor will they understand here. In so respect, people of hell and the human realm were similar. Just that the people here wear a mask to hide the devil inside them.
"You think I don't realise that helping you in this contract would have been much easier!?" I asked in a rough tone.
"Well… I don't know… you seem like a sadistic bitch who enjoys tornting humans…" He instantly replied with a sharp tone. I don't know why, but re words from a lowly being such as a human hurt a lot that day.
I enjoyed tornting humans? He thinks I do this because I enjoy this? Is he being serious or has his emotions got the better of him? I don't like this! I don't enjoy being stuck here for three centuries now. I despised this place more than anything, but I had no other choice.
I looked at him and he was staring at with the sa disgust in eyes that people over the years have kept giving . The sa cold eyes with a hint of hostility in them.
A sudden wave of anger washed over and before I could process anything, I was already grabbing him by his neck and sitting on top of him. He was breathing heavily, but his eyes didn't waver for even a mont.
"Saishi!" I hissed at him in such an aggressive tone that any other person would have wet their pants at this point. But neither did he look away from , nor did he try to fight back.
"What!? You want to kill ?" He said while his dark cold eyes were pierced right into mine. My fingers were tightening around his neck, and his eyelids were moving upwards and he was having trouble speaking because his voice box was being crushed.
"Do it… I know you can kill at any instant… do it!" His words carried more weight this ti. His face was becoming pale and his breathing was becoming heavier. His eyes were slowly closing.
"I…" Looking at him, the image of a person overlaid upon his face. He had the sa black hairs as him and the sa dead eyes that were colder than a winter night. In his last monts, he struggled like this, too. He cursed , cursed his life, cursed his fate, cursed himself. But he finally t his fate that feared so much, as I was standing before him with his heart in my hand, and blood flowing down his chest and mouth.
"Do it!" He yelled at and his hands were over mine now forcing to tighten my grip even more. I didn't want to kill him. I can't kill him. I don't want to stain my hands again. I'm tired of everything.
I'm so tired.
"I can't goddammit!" I tried to remove my hand, but his hands were covering mine and his grip was tightening. He had this crazy look in his eyes that showed no trace of fear.
"I would rather die than live with no surety if I would be able to see tomorrow or not." He finally removed his hands from mine and I let go of his neck. The prints of my fingers were printed on his pale neck and his voice box moved as took a hard gulp.
I was still on top of him and he was laying still with his eyes focused on and sweat drenching his forehead. There was a long silence between us and he was finally breathing normally again.
Looking at his face, I sighed and said my honest feelings about this matter. "You can't die. At least not now."
"How are you so sure about it?" He asked .
I stared at him as he said that. Of course, I can't tell him that I was using him to complete a contract and now that he was so useful to , I can't let go of an efficient tool like him.
"I can't say that." I replied.
"Again the sa shit…" He was coughing slightly and was having problems speaking properly.
"Listen… I'll definitely tell you about it soday…" Knowing that one day or other I would just have to tell him about. It's just that it was not the mont.
"I promise… but not right now." Looking at his hesitant expression, I moved the little finger of my hand, which was close to his, and wrapped it around his little finger gently.
Over the years, I have learnt a few things from human culture and this was one of them. If soone does this while they make a promise, then it simply ans that they indeed will keep their promise truthfully to the end.
"I don't care about it." He said in the usual plain tone while caressing his neck.
I was feeling bad for reacting that way and hurting him. It wasn't his fault that he said those things. Of course he won't know. And like every other person, he will also not understand , so I won't bla him for that.
