"Hey--you're forgetting this King Aine," as I was walking out with Asmodeus in tow, she checks in her pocket as if searching for something, and it's...
"Julia and Lynn told me to give it to you," she looks at me in an enticing manner as if wondering why I am perturbed to hold my own gun.
"I---I see then..." I slowly take it off Asmodeus' hands and she then asks while tilting her head in confusion.
"Could it be that you've killed people with this little toy? So then why - - - why do you hesitate to take the burden of the lives it has executed?"
I had not yet killed anyone with it but - - - be that as it may - - - it is going to take so many lives in the war with the empire.
He looked at it as a symbol of death but he never once wanted to lose its possession but at the same time he didn't want to use it as an ally and the same goes with magic too.
"It's because am a weakling unlike Julia and Lynn who are well versed in the art of war, but---soon I will surpass them-- and protect them, and my kingdom." He spoke with absolute certainty and he continued...
"With time I will also surpass you and Elize, and--I will protect your smiles," Asmodeus couldn't connect the dots of what he was talking about but she touched her chest to control her heart beat without knowing the actual reason for her body changes.
"Hmmmmmm!! could it be---" he continued with a smirk on his face, "Are you in love with me--my little Asmodeus?"
"....."
He leaned in closer and repeated his question, "I said--are you in love----"
Asmodeus strongly interrupted Aine despite her flustered face, " You don't have to repeat the question, I already heard you the first time!!"
"So!?" He held her by the waist continuing his teasing ritual with one of the most powerful demons of Zerin.
She tilted her head because she was simply embarrassed and - - answered, " I humbly refuse--but if my lady ordered me to - - I would."
Her voice held no free will of her because she decided a long time ago - - to help her queen in earnest.
"Let's get going - - - my maid." "Huh!!" Asmodeus looked dumbfounded at his familiarity towards her but Aine ignored it and said;
"I don't know where supper is being held ..." he gestured to her to lead the way as Asmodeus had a thought with a forced smile on her face;
'It seems he can look after Lady Elize - - even though, someday, I won't be around anymore and because of that---hmmmmm!! - - - am glad.'
