Chapter 80: All Worth It
"Just a bit more... Just a bit more..."
Tarah repeatedly chanted the same few words to herself as she did her best to compose herself. Despite telling herself that she was ready, there was truly no way for her to get used to Devon’s constant harassment. It was still the usual fare of him doing everything he could barring just taking her purity, but every session she spent with him never truly allowed her to adapt.
Every minute she had to spend being with the demon king was torture. She could only hope that things would finally get better just so she could finally stop seeing the man.
Thankfully, it was all worth it, in her opinion. Sacrificing herself to keep her brother away from the demon’s wrath was more than enough to make her actions have meaning. And even now as she made her way to Levi, she couldn’t help but smile at the prospect of seeing Levi alive and well.
With those thoughts in mind, Tarah made her way to her brother’s tower. As always, it was under absolute guard, and she promptly entered the room without so much as a warning. She was keyed into the doors, after all, which meant that she didn’t need to tell anyone why she was there so long as she had Devon’s permission.
"Sister!"
Immediately, Tarah felt all of the stress and exhaustion she felt while she was under Devon slowly melt away upon seeing his brother well and happy. By his side, her friend Asura was with him, still dutifully watching over him just like the last time she saw her.
"Levi," Tarah smiled back as she spread her arms wide for a hug. "Come here."
As one, the brother and sister moved in for a loving hug, their arms locking around their respective backs as they savored their short reunion. Truly, every time they did this, they had to make sure to relish it for as long as they could. There was no telling when they would have time like this again, which meant that they had to spend every waking moment they had together like it would be their last.
