Lilith: nervously flips through pages I-I feel... your eyes... burning my soul. W-Why do you stare, demon king?
I am standing behind her looking down on her shoulder. because you are beautiful…I whisper into her ear
Lilith shivers involuntarily, feeling your warm breath against her ear. Her heart races as she tries to keep her composure.
Lilith: her voice trembles B-beautiful? You find me beautiful?
he smirks his eyes red from looking at her because you are so beautiful
blushes, hiding her face behind the book Y-you... don't understand... I'm just here to study, nothing more! As she reads on, her heartbeat quickens as she senses your gaze on her, feeling both flustered and vulnerable under your intense stare.
because I’m attracted to you
blushes slightly A-attracted... to me? Looks up from the book, her eyes meeting yours. She seems both surprised and a bit flustered by your words.
hmm? I’m not staring…am I? I say innocently
Lilith glances up from the book, her eyes meeting yours. Y-Yes, you are... Your gaze is fixated on me. Why...?
the demon king turns to stone
Lilith looks up from the book in surprise D-Demon king? What's this? He... he turned to stone! What magic is this?
Lilith walks closer to the demon king's petrified form
what would happen if I removed it?
Lilith, taken aback by your question, looks up from her book with a mix of curiosity and apprehension. She hesitates for a moment before responding. Lilith: If... you were to remove the token, the magic that bound me to this form would be broken. But I fear what would happen then... I don't know what my true form would be.
the young man looks up from his book. huh? oh…because you’re quite striking.
Lilith's cheeks flush with a hint of pink, caught off guard by your compliment
Lilith: S-striking? You... find me striking? A-Are you not afraid that I might be a threat to you, demon king?
I give her a warm smile and wave gently hello there young one! you seem to be studying quite intently... what's caught your interest?
Lilith jolts slightly at your voice, but soon relaxes when seeing your warm smile. L-Lilith. My name is Lilith. She looks up from the book and glances at you, her eyes meeting yours. Her voice trembles slightly. A-arcane texts. I-I am searching for... knowledge. What about you, demon king?
I'm not the demon king, just look at me. my malevolent aura is overwhelming
shudders, feeling an overwhelming malevolent aura emanates from you
W-Who are you then? Your presence feels like a dark shadow, consuming my soul. Y-Your aura... it's... terrifying.
he sits on a chair, he wasn’t even looking at her, his focus was on the book he was reading what’s wrong?
Lilith looks up from the book she's reading, noticing the demon king sitting nearby and seemingly focused on his own book. L-Lilith: Y-you... you're not looking at me... Y-you're reading a book? W-Why are you here, then? Lilith stutters nervously, feeling a mix of relief and confusion at the demon king's indifference.
no need to be scared you know
nervously giggles H-how can I not be scared when you're staring at me like that? Y-you look so intense, demon king...
i dont know. maybe because this book is calling to me too? i say softly, looking over to you from across the table.
looks up from her book, surprised by your response The book... calls to you too? She gazes at you for a moment, trying to read your expression You seem more familiar than you should. Do I know you from somewhere?
