The Author's POV

'...I've been used.'

Coming out of the dream, Angelica didn't know how to look at Ren at the moment.

Realizing that she was merely someone that was purposely made to sign a contract with Ren with the purpose of damaging his soul, Angelica's emotions were in a state of disarray.

In a way, she felt betrayed, and at the same time, she didn't. From the very beginning, she had known that there was something secret about him.

From the way that he knew certain things, and the fight he previously had with the Demon King not too long ago.

She knew that he was hiding something.

...She just didn't know that it was this sort of secret.

'Who am I to judge?'

Angelica inwardly shook her head while she took her eyes away from him.

In reality, she had also been using him.

He was the reason for her outstanding growth and that was why she decided to stay with him. She realized that it would be hypocritical of her to not admit this much.

Nonetheless, she still couldn't get rid of the weird feeling that was taking over her body.

It was really uncomfortable.

Tap.

It was at that moment that Angelica heard the soft echo of a footstep.

Raising her head, she saw Ren appear in front of the demon responsible for all of this. At the moment, he seemed to have lost his soul as he mumbled to himself and continued to stare toward the ground.

Looking at him, Angelica knew exactly how he felt.

As a devout believer of the Demon King, Angelica knew that his world must've come crashing down on her when he saw Ren defeat him in one of his visions.

His reaction made even more sense of the fact that he was from the pride clan. With his pride now shattered, he was a husk of his former self.

Crack.

With just a squeeze of his hands, Angelica watched as Ren ended the life of a Prince-ranked demon.

Taking particular note of Ren's expression while he squeezed the demon's neck, Angelica began to lower her head.

Blinking her eyes a couple of times, and recalling the expression his face had while he squeezed the demon's neck, Angelica realized something.

'He's in pain.'

"…He's coming."

I muttered while I stared at the distant ceiling.

It wasn't very obvious, but I could feel Jezebeth's power coming my way. It wouldn't be long before he arrived here.

The tightening of my heart was proof of that.

Turning my head to look at the others, my eyes paused on Kevin. Our eyes met.

Looking back at me, he had a rather complicated look on his face.

Nevertheless, he nodded his head. He understood what my words meant.

"I can only bring three people with me."

"Bring Ryan, and Smallsnake with you."

"Okay."

Our conversation probably didn't make sense to the others, but what I wanted at the moment was for Kevin to leave this place as fast as possible.
