Asmodeus left the room with feelings of attachment. Anne was different to the other women. His connection didn't yet reach something that could be called romantic or close to love.
It was the feeling that he felt towards Alan, a sense of fate as if something pulled them together.
His attempts to disregard them were futile, as his thoughts and desires to confront them only intensified. Anne, a woman of exquisite beauty, had her essence altered by Vinea's transformation into a demon, which magnified her beauty and appeal more than double, which clarified Asmodeus' feelings.
'Different from Alan, fighting her and wanting to crush her were not the same... I wanted her to submit to me, to accept me as her lord...'
He was not the demon hero, as much as he thought he might be.
