Epilogue Chapter 10: Wedding Anniversary (8)
Lilith used to think it was okay at first. She thought she wouldn’t mind it. She thought that even if she was wearing someone else’s skin, she could look past such a trivial matter as long as he loved her.
Since Kurosaki Yurie, the former owner of Lilith’s current body, had gained a new body, Lilith thought there was no reason to call it a shell anymore. The silky black hair reaching her waist, the refined nose and bright eyes, and an appearance that garnered the attention of countless men whenever she walked on the street, were all part of her true form now.
“...”
However, doubt slowly grew inside Lilith’s heart and clouded her mind. She wondered if the love of her life did not love her but Lilith in the shell of Kurosaki Yurie.
Lilith did not think that was bad; after a decade of molding into human society, she realized how hideous her true form was to humans. Humans often went off about how true beauty was inside, but Lilith knew better than anyone how crucial one’s appearance was in human relationships.
‘Because the king fled from me until I attained Yurie’s body.’
Hence, she couldn’t help but imagine what would happen if she lost this form and returned to her true self. Would she no longer receive her king’s love?
‘No, there’s no way.’
Lilith tore apart the seed of doubt to deny her thoughts.
