This was Romon's territory, where numerous oddly shaped beings were pointing and jeering at her.
The cacophony reaching her ears made Candice unequivocally certain that she had indeed arrived in the land of demons.
She was no stranger to these voices; if one day she were to return here and not hear them, Candice would even suspect that something had gone awry.
Thinking back to her earlier self, Candice had abandoned all her self-respect in hopes of gaining acceptance from the demons, enduring their mockery and bullying with nothing more than a cautious smile.
Yet, her sycophancy had earned her nothing but intensified humiliation.
Truly foolish.
Candice mocked herself with a smirk.
The ridicule that once pained her heart no longer stirred her because she had found a purpose far more important than seeking the demons' acceptance.
In this world, there was already one who had truly accepted her... One was enough, more than enough.
