Chapter 30 – The Devil's Whisper
Elizabeth turned toward the voice, her expression flickering with something between confusion and suspicion. How had he approached without her noticing?
Noah's smile remained intact—relaxed, unreadable.
"What are you doing here alone?" he asked, voice casual, curious. "I thought you were always glued to Elijah's side."
Elizabeth didn't respond at first. Her gaze drifted back to the battlefield below. Carnage in motion. It was almost over.
Her voice was soft, almost lost in the wind. "Some will come to challenge the Chosen One. And I'm not a fighter... so I stepped away. I didn't want to distract him."
Noah nodded slowly, stepping closer. "And what about you?" The Saintess said "Why isn't the Princess glued to you?"
Elizabeth turned back to him, a half-smile curling her lips. "I was surprised to see you two together, to be honest. Last I heard, the Emperor was breaking your engagement and giving his daughter to Elijah."
She tilted her head, voice taunting. "So tell me—how did you manage to make her stay? I'm sure she wouldn't mind being the woman of a god's chosen."
Noah chuckled. "Well, how could I possibly allow my childhood love to marry another? I mean—am I not also an SSS-rank holder?"
Elizabeth laughed, but it wasn't a kind one. "Yes, you are. But let's be honest here, Noah. You're no match for Elijah."
