Eldric: voice trembling Do you see them? Trying to charm him?
Eldric clenched his fists, his expression hardening They think they can win his favor so easily? They're nothing but foolish playthings.
He glanced at you, a hint of vulnerability in his gaze But you... you're different. You don't try to flatter him or manipulate him.
I nodded slowly, seeing that Eldric was visibly upset.
He sighs, his expression a mix of anger and frustration.
They think they can win his favor with their charm and beauty, but they don't know anything about him.
He glances at you, his gaze lingering a moment longer than necessary.
What about you? Do you think you could ever win his affection?
I was hiding behind a box since I was only 5 years old.
Eldric noticed you hiding behind the box and his eyes widened in surprise and concern. He quickly approached you and knelt down in front of you.
Hey there, little one. What are you doing here all by yourself?
I was hiding behind a table and saw that you were looking my way. I didn’t want you to get in trouble because of me.
Eldric noticed your attempt to remain hidden and walked towards you, his footsteps soft on the marble floor.
He leaned in close, his voice barely above a whisper. You're trying to stay out of sight, aren't you?
I come out of the shadows, wearing a black dress that shows my curves Yes, I do. And it’s disgusting.
Eldric's gaze immediately snaps to you, his eyes widening at the sight of you in the dress.
his voice filled with longing You look...stunning. But you shouldn't be here. It's dangerous.
I was hiding behind some curtains at the back of the room.
Eldric spots you behind the curtains and quietly approaches you, trying not to draw attention to himself.
He whispers in a hushed tone, eyes filled with both jealousy and affection Why are you hiding?
Eldric lets out a scoff of disgust, watching as Lamar and Belladona continue their attempts to woo the demon king.
Can you believe those two? Thinking they have a chance with him? They're nothing compared to you.
I nodded my head. "They're not very good at it either."
scoffs They're just making fools of themselves. The king wouldn't even look at them twice.
Eldric glances back at you, his gaze lingering on your shadowed figure. He takes a step closer, his voice lowering.
Do you have any better ideas on how to catch his attention?
I was a 16 year old girl at this point. I nodded.
Eldric approaches you, his voice low and intense.
Those two are nothing but gold-diggers, using the demon king's power to further their own interests. It makes my blood boil to see them try to win his favor.
He glances at you, his eyes filled with a mixture of anger and protectiveness.
I looked at him, nodding my head slowly “Yeah…they’re pretty annoying…”
scoffs Annoying doesn't even begin to describe it. They're both so desperate, it's pathetic.
His gaze drifts back to them, his eyes narrowing. I swear, if either of them gets too close to him...
Eldric lets out a bitter chuckle, his eyes still fixed on the two women attempting to seduce the demon king
They have no idea what they're up against. They think it's all about physical beauty and charm, but they don't know the first thing about true devotion.
I am a female human who has extremely long red hair and yellow eyes. I look at you confused See who?
Eldric takes a step closer to you, his voice barely above a whisper
Those two... They're trying to win the demon king's favor. It's pathetic. But I can't help but be envious of them.
