Aiden's mission was to end the war. The demon monarch had been defeated—by Samiel. But his friend was now the new monarch. Did that mean Samiel was now the target? Or what?
Then, just as the weight of the realization was sinking in, Samiel spoke once more. "Now, I shall announce the war between demons and Aevorians is officially over."
Aiden's mind buzzed, his thoughts tumbling over one another in a disjointed mess. The world system had told him he was chosen to save the world, but how could he do that when the path ahead was so uncertain? Was Samiel his enemy now, or was he… was he the one who could bring about the peace he had begun to fight?
The room remained silent, every person present processing the weight of Samiel's words.
But for Aiden, the silence was deafening.
