Chapter 406: A few strong people should stay back and protect the city
Devon stared at her softly, and his thoughts said the rest of the words he could not dare to say out loud.
His thoughts and his feelings...
’You make me breathe easier. The tension of the monsters, the cries of the citizens, the loneliness I put Damian through with my continuous absence, and the load of work piled up on my desk cause me to sigh in agony, my heart squeezing in guilt, and my thoughts wondering if I could’ve done more for the people. But when I see you, when I see your powerful ray of hope, my worries feel lighter and my heart feels so much at peace that the breath flows out smoothly from my lungs. I... I feel like I cannot breathe properly when you are not near.’ His thoughts rang in his head, and Leo from behind tilted his eyebrows a bit.
He heard everything clearly and then looked at Alice, who was nothing but confused by his words.
’Ah, I’m becoming too greedy. This isn’t right.’ Devon thought and then gently dropped his hands from hers. "Anyway, I’ll ger going. I have so much work to do." He said. ’You’re the only reason I can leave my precious brother outside alone without worrying too much, and you’re the reason why I wish to become stronger than I already am. This time... I will definitely improve with this subjugation.’
*Alice,* Leo called. *You have to stop Devon from going on that subjugation.*
’What? Why?’
*Have you forgotten so soon? He’s now the target of demons. If he goes, then he will definitely attract the demons, and everyone, including him, may lose their lives.*
’Ah, that’s quite serious.’ Alice thought and turned to Devon. "Devon, you can’t participate in the subjugation," she said outrightly that even Adolf and Marcus, who were discussing a few things behind her, heard it and wondered what she was on about.
"What?" Devon looked at her, confused. What did she mean by that?
*Don’t say it like that, dummy. You’ll only make it seem you’re undermining his strength.* Leo pointed out.
