Lucian tried to get up but immediately fell over again. "Just take me and let her go."
Medeia held him down, preventing Lucian from getting back up. "No, I'm not going anywhere."
Lucian pushed her away with his trembling hands. "Go away!" he shouted, his tone filled with desperation instead of anger.
"No."
Lucian's eyes widened as he heard her short answer. "Medeia, you--"
She cut him off. "You've always protected me, so I'll protect you this time," Medeia said, "None of us will die today, I promise."
"No! I don't need your protection!" Lucian still tried to push her away, but Medeia stayed in her place.
Lucian might think she was a fool, who was trying to act like a hero. However, Medeia would not dare to promise something she could not keep.
'System, will my demon ability also disappear if the General touches me?'
[No, host].
[Your demon abilities are not mutations, so he can't disable them].
