"Enough, demon!" I raised my voice. "I will do this to save my friend. All of them are my friends. And I will do everything I can to protect them. So kill me and not them!"
After hearing my words, Lilith raised her eyebrow and flashed me a smirk. It was as if she hid something from everyone that kept her delighted look carved on her face.
"Why are you smiling? Is there something funny?" I asked in annoyance.
The demonic girl shook her head and replied, "No. Quite the contrary, Arthur. I'm amazed about your will to protect your friends."
"You placed yourself in front of others, even courting death, just to save your friends. Arthur, you know you would die. And yet, you confronted me without backing down on your words. If those knights inside the citadels came face to face against me, they would either save their own lives or bribe me for something I already have. But you, you showed the value of your relationship with your friends," Lilith continued.
