The Author's POV

Chapter 183

After separating from Silug and Kevin, glancing at the ring on my finger I softly said.

"Alright, Angelica you can come out now"

-Fwa!

Following my voice, black smoke rose from my left finger and Angelica's figure slowly materialized before me. Opening her eyes, Angelica glanced at me and softly said.

"I'm ready"

Smiling, out of nowhere, I threw an orb-like object in her direction.

"Here"

-Plack!

"Huh? What's this?"

Catching the orb with her hand, Angelica tilted her head in confusion as she observed the black orb in her hand.

"It's your core"

Noticing Angelica's confusion, I smiled.

"..."

Taking a couple of seconds to process the object in her hand, opening her eyes wide and looking at me, Angelica's voice raised a few pitches.

"Ah?"

Seeing Angelica's reaction, raising my brow, I teased.

"What? You don't want it? If you don't want it I'll gladly take it back"

"No, no, no, I'll take it"

Shaking her head, Angelica quickly placed the orb in her chest.

-Shua!

Shortly after, as if made out of water, the orb directly melted into Angelica's body.

-Fwua!

As the core melted into her body, a terrifying red hue enshrouded her body giving her regal and majestic presence.

After a couple of seconds, slowly opening her eyes and turning her attention back to me, with a skeptical look on her face Angelica asked.

"...why are you giving it to me?"

Thoughtfully placing my hand on my chin, I shortly replied.

"Mhh, let's just say that I'm trusting you"

Taken aback by my answer, Angelica didn't know how to answer.

Being a demon and coming from a place where everyone would screw you over at the simplest mistake, the word 'trust' was not something Angelica was very familiar with.

There was no such thing as trust amongst demons and so Angelica was naturally unaware of how it felt to be trusted by someone.

...yet that all changed today.

For the first time in her life, someone had said that they trusted her. Moreover, it was the same human that had enslaved her and made her work for him for five years.

...it was weird and made Angelica feel odd.

Although she wasn't sure how she was feeling right now, deep down, just a little part of her felt grateful.

Turning her head away from me, Angelica softly muttered.

"...I see"

Seeing her reaction, unaware of what she was thinking, I kept a simple smile on my face.

Everything was a lie.

Of course, that wasn't the truth.
