Chapter 7: This cannot be happening
"He is fine."
Hmm? That's it?!
She was building up so much, and that's all?
But that wasn't actually everything. I only realized that after listening to her next line. And I also got a little idea of what happened in my battle with her.
"That battle two years ago... you lost all of your power in that battle. I was worried that demon's spell might even affect your child, but my worry was for nought."
Listening to the saintess, a faint smile bloomed on Eleanor's face. She then looked at me lovingly, that was enough to melt my heart.
I wasn't feeling a completely new emotion, which was hard for me to express.
I am still the demon that they are talking about, so why is my heart aching?
Why am I getting soft seeing her face looking at me? Why do I want i respond to her smile?
She was and is still my enemy... if she... if they found out who I am, then I am sure, they will not hesitate to even kill me.
My purpose should be to get my revenge, and for that, I need that strength. I should get back to my peak again and much faster.
"Then I am glad that my sickness did not affect my child. I would have been really heartbroken if that had happened. I do not know how I could have forgiven myself if I had infected you as well."
