Chapter 102 Repeat (5)
Lily blinked quietly.
It seems as if Frontier is looking for a joke that doesn’t fit.
Of course, there was no trace of mischief on his face.
“… … “I’m Satan’s minion?”
Lili frowned and asked back.
This time, Frontier looked at that expression.
‘Let’s try trusting this face first.’
In fact, after meeting someone like Selena, Frontier became less confident in reading facial expressions.
But right now, there was too little evidence to understand Lili. Actually, Lili doesn’t have any memories of herself.
I thought that Frontier’s words might make Lili recall her memories, but it doesn’t seem to have happened.
“yes. “After all the research and information I have gathered, I am almost certain.”
“… … “What kind of information is that?”
Lili still wrinkled her face in disbelief.
Frontier gave a simple explanation. The contract between Satan and humans, and the current status of demons sent to the empire as Satan’s demons.
Lili, who was listening, her expression became increasingly hard and her eyes lowered.
I can’t believe it, but considering the circumstances, it is possible. No, rather than a possibility, that most accurately represents the reason why Lili has no memory right now. You must have realized that.
“… … “What if I am Satan’s devil?”
“It was Lili and the demons hidden here that were affected, not Satan. Satan clearly remembers his demons. “If Satan knows how to restore the memories of his past subordinates, Lili’s memories will also return.”
If so, Lili will become Satan’s subordinate again.
Lili, who continues to grow from that past and is now one of the Zodiacs, joins Satan’s side. It must be a terrible thing that the people of the empire have never imagined.
“… … “I won’t do that, Frontier.”
“… … .”
“I don’t remember anything about Satan, and I have dedicated myself to protecting the empire. You know that?”
“… … .”
Despite Lili’s persuasion, Frontier remains silent.
What Lili says now is probably sincere. She is not a devil, but all her memories remain in the empire.
She must have built up relationships with people in her own way, and knows how to appropriately satisfy her desires.
Now that I’ve made it to the Zodiac level, I guess I can say I’ve settled in and blended into human society without any trouble.
Of course, the hobby of collecting handsome knights is a bit eccentric, but considering that they are all former criminals, it is reason enough to take into account.
But that’s literally because Lily has no memories of Satan right now.
Frontier doesn’t know how long Lili has been in the demon world. I don’t know how strong your loyalty or obedience to Satan was.
I don’t know if it’s greater than the information in the empire or not. Of course, Lili herself doesn’t know either.
So, we don’t know which side Lili will ultimately be on when her memories return.
“… … “You don’t trust me.”
Lili said after seeing Frondier’s expression.
It’s not that I doubt what Lili said just now. However, Frontier does not know everything about Lili.
So, in the end, it turns around and turns around.
“Yes, I don’t trust you, Lili.”
Frontier cannot deny that. Lili, whose memories have all returned, is of course Lia Lis.
Lili opened her mouth for a moment in surprise when she heard Frondier’s words, but immediately closed it.
Now Frontier is taking on too many of Lili’s weaknesses.
Moreover, the chances of winning in a head-to-head match are slim. I already tried running away last time and failed.
“… … So, what are you going to do with me?”
In other words, what to do with Lili now is entirely up to Frontier.
But Frondier was looking at Lili in silence.
“Liri, let me make this clear right now.”
“… … what?”
“I think I’m under the influence of Lili’s power.”
At those words, a doubt appears on Lily’s face, and she says it with a feeling of uncertainty.
“… … By any chance, you mean ‘enchantment’?”
“That’s right.”
“Is now the right time to say that? With that face? “Are we talking about this now?”
Although Lili wouldn’t say it herself, she didn’t think the charm had worked on Frondier at all.
And even now that Frontier says that, I still can’t understand it at all.
Are those the facial expressions and speech patterns that a person under charm would show to the person being charmed?
“I hoped my relationship with Lili would continue like this. “I just hope you continue to have a good time.”
“… … .”
“But for that, I had to travel a long way until now.”
The fact that Frontier realized that he was under a spell wasn’t just a matter of feeling.
There was a clear reason.
‘If you think about it, the first time Lili used the devil’s power on me.’
Frontier was furious. I had no idea that my emotions would be shaken so severely.
Of course, Lili did something he didn’t like, but is it something that would shake his heart to that extent?
I don’t know if it’s because of the curse of sloth or because of his own tendencies, but there have been quite a few instances where Frondier has become angry to that degree.
The most representative example would have been when Eden, the No. 1 professional, was threatening Elin.
However, if Lily commits something as despicable as Eden, she ends up shaking her head.
‘Lily’s fascination with me and my own inclinations fought fiercely. Anger is the reaction.’
Frontier is clearly resistant to demonic powers. He has the strength of his soul, and he has long resisted the curse of sloth. The anger I felt at that time was a byproduct of that resistance.
‘If I hadn’t been caught up in anger at that time, I might have come up with a wiser solution.’
Of course, that solution includes punishing Lili.
There is no need for him to kill. If Lili informs the empire that she is a devil and causes the imperial palace to take action, the citizens will see the possibility that a devil is hiding within the empire.
Then, of course, the entire empire would move, and it would be easy to find hidden demons. Additionally, it would have been much easier to put pressure on the dark side that was related to Lili.
At that time, Frondier was so consumed with anger that he could not think of such things. He was just lost at the crossroads of whether to kill Lili with his own hands or not. That was exactly what Gregory pointed out through the crow’s mouth at the time.
──I won’t interfere with whatever you do.
Gregory spoke clearly. He says he doesn’t care whether he kills Lili or not. Lili dying would also be the right decision.
But it had to be done with the right judgment. If it was the Frontier that Gregory knew, it had to be that way.
“I was angry at you, and I used all my heart to endure that anger, making wrong decisions, and because of that, I had a hard time finding the demons of the empire alone.”
“… … .”
“It’s time to break it off.”
Frontier fell under Lili’s charm.
Only after I clearly recognized and acknowledged it, my mind became clearer.
“… … I see The charm works continuously, and as long as you resist, it will continue to consume your mental power. so.”
Lili calmly accepted Frondier’s judgment.
Frondier nodded.
“As of today, the contract ended.”
“… … It did.”
“I regret that things have come to this.”
Lili understood Frontier.
Lili is likely to turn to Satan’s side at any time.
‘Fascination’ continues to influence Frontier.
A frontier who must protect the empire.
Frontier’s choice was ultimately inevitable. Lili would have done this even if the situation were the opposite.
“If possible, don’t move. That way there will be less pain.”
“… … “Finish it quickly.”
Lili stood up. Lower your arms, puff out your chest, and close your eyes.
A move that hands over his life to Frondier, who is even more defenseless than when he confronted him.
He looked at it for a moment and then said.
“… … Open your eyes. “Riri.”
“It’s too much. “I’m scared to death.”
“Things don’t go as smoothly if you close your eyes.”
… … Day?
When Lili opened her eyes, puzzled by that expression.
“──Ugh!”
The moment she made eye contact with Frontier, a huge amount of pressure poured down on her.
This is Frontier’s ‘Devil’s Power’.
Lili unknowingly tried to unleash the power of the devil. It was a reflex developed as a Zodiac, and it was also a desire to survive as a demon.
However.
“Don’t refuse, Lili.”
Frontier’s harsh words.
Only then did Lili finally realize what Frondier was trying to do.
“You no longer have that choice.”
Riri just quietly accepts Frondi’s power.
The power of the devil and the appearance of the soul pour into her.
Lili lost her memories of Satan. Just like other imperial demons. Because they have become non-existent in the demon world.
I guess Satan was planning to use the demons he planted in the empire again one day.
A ‘contract’ is, by nature, neither on the side of the devil nor on the side of humans.
There can be no such thing as a convenient contract just for Satan.
Becoming a non-existent being naturally means that Satan’s demonic power over demons has also been cut off.
Just as the Frontier subjugated the demons of the Empire.
Paaat!
Lili fully accepted the power of Frontier.
Frontier has so far subjugated many demons with its power.
However, no demon has accepted her power so completely and purely as Lili.
“… … .”
Let Frontier take away the power of the devil.
Lily quietly closed her eyes and smiled comfortably.
Sigh-
Lili lowers herself. I get down on one knee and bow my head towards Frontier.
“… … “It’s a little awkward.”
But still, the tone and tone of speech are not different at all.
She said with a smile, as if she was in a good mood.
“Sever the relationship. “I guess that’s what it meant.”
The relationship that Frontier hoped for.
Lili is the Zodiac, and Frondier is Lili’s acquaintance.
We were hired for a short time and worked together, and we developed a level of intimacy and trust.
Frontier hoped for that. Even if Leah Reiss was a devil, I wanted my relationship with her to be human.
But I can’t do that anymore. Not everything goes as Frontier wants.
“Lily.”
“huh.”
“Even if your memories return, even if you want to return to Satan’s side.”
Therefore, this was the only choice Frontier could make.
From Noble mtl dot com
“I will not send it.”
“… … huh.”
“Follow my orders. Leah Reese. How you change when your memories come back is none of my business. Turn the entire Demon World into an enemy for me. I will kill your old master.”
Even if Lili’s memories come back, don’t let her go to Satan.
To still be the Zodiac, the pillar of the Empire.
To stop Lili from going to the devil’s side, he uses the devil’s logic.
“Even if your memories come back, stay the same as before. Keep your hostility, anger, and regret toward me hidden in your heart and do not show them. Hide and live until the day I die. When that time comes, remember these words. “I am your master, Leah Rhys.”
Those words may be cruel to Lili.
She, who lost her memory, had an original hometown and a master to serve.
However, now that she has obeyed Frondier, she must be by Frondier’s side even if she remembers all of those things.
Lili grinned after hearing those words.
She spoke with a clear face without any dark clouds, befitting a devil.
“As you wish, my master.”
NTR?
