The Incubus System Chapter 648. You Are The Lord of Perverts ? III
"Spill it out," she insisted, her voice filled with a mix of anger and determination. I could tell that she was not going to let this go and was determined to get to the bottom of what I had said.
I refused to back down, my eyes eting hers with a steely gaze. "I know you heard it," I said, my voice firm and unyielding.
"I did," she admitted, her voice soft and filled with resignation.
I looked at her with a flat stare, my eyes were cold and unemotional. "So? What do you want from ? An apology? I won't say it." I challenged her, although I knew that she was not going to be easily swayed by my words.
She snorted in annoyance in reply.
Then, silence descended upon us.
I lay myself down. My eyes closed, trying to ignore her. I was purposely not saying anything or apologizing since she was the one who started this in the first place. I even pretended to sleep, lying there like a corpse with my hands resting on my chest.
Despite her silence, I was confident that it wouldn't last long. Her loneliness would soon get the better of her, and she would reach out to once again. And I was right.
"Ethan..." she called out to , her voice soft and hesitant.
I remained silent, pretending not to hear her.
"Ethan," she called out again, this ti her voice filled with a hint of whining and frustration. I could feel her shaking my body, trying to wake . With a hazy and sluggish hum, I replied, "Hmm?" My eyes remained closed.
"Wake up," she implored, her tone firm yet gentle.
With a nonchalant tone, I responded, "I am." My eyes were still firmly shut.
Suddenly, I felt her presence upon . I could sense her weight as she climbed atop my body. The aroma of her scent wafted into my nostrils.
"Open your eyes," she urged once more.
Reluctantly, I obeyed her request and slowly opened my eyes.
As I gazed into her face that was right in front of mine. Her eyes sparkled like diamonds. Yet, despite the beauty that was so close to , my expression remained unchanged, my face as flat and impassive as ever.
"What?" I asked, my tone flat and devoid of any emotion.
I could see her frustration, her annoyance at my indifference.
She gave a glare, her eyes narrowing as she took in my impassive expression. For a mont, I thought she was going to say sothing, to lash out at for my perceived disinterest. But then, her expression slowly lted into a pout, her lips curling downward as she hugged again. "Don't ignore ," she whined, her voice filled with a sense of desperation. "You are my only friend."
A long breath escaped my mouth. I felt a sense of exhaustion wash over . I didn't want to deal with her emotions, her drama. But at the sa ti, I couldn't help but feel a sense of guilt for ignoring her. "Fine," I said, my voice resigned. "Just stop making that face, okay?" I asked.
She released her hug. Her eyes searched mine as she looked at . "What face?" she asked, her tone soft and innocent.
"That disgust expression," I stated. "It makes feel like garbage."
She nodded, her expression becoming more serious. "All right," she agreed, her voice filled with a sense of understanding. "I won't make that face again."
I sat down and gazed at Puriel. "So I assu we can talk seriously again?" I said, my tone filled with a sense of urgency. I needed to know that she was ready to have a real conversation and that we could finally make progress toward finding a solution to her situation.
She gave another nod, indicating that she was ready to talk.
"Okay," I continued, not wasting any ti. "About when I can free you, I'll talk about it later. I'm waiting for more information from my woman." Of course, I was referring to Mia. She was working hard to find an alternative commodity aside from Puriel's angelic power. On the other hand, she knew that cutting the vaccine completely wasn't a good idea, either for her kingdom or demon hunter.
Puriel's eyebrows furrowed as she looked at . "Your woman?" she asked a note of curiosity in her voice.
"She is a princess from the kingdom where you are now," I explained. "She is looking for a way out since your angelic power is the main commodity of her kingdom for hundreds of years."
She was silent for a mont, deep in thought. I could see her mind working, could sense her considering all the implications of what I had just told her. "I actually don't mind sharing my power with them," she said finally, her voice filled with a sense of resolve. "Especially since they need it to fight demons. I just want my freedom," she explained, her eyes eting mine with a sense of determination.
I double-checked to make sure I had heard her correctly. "Are you absolutely sure about this?" It would certainly make our negotiations with the kingdom much easier.
Puriel nodded her head firmly. "I am sure. I understand that humans need my power to fight against demons, and I am willing to share it with them. Moreover, I know that angels no longer want to interfere in human affairs even though the demons are still among them."
"Well then, everything should beco much simpler. But I do have one more request." I said, without missing a beat.
Puriel looked at inquisitively, her head tilting to the side in an almost birdlike way. "What is it?" she asked, her voice filled with curiosity.
"My Angelic Seal," I replied, getting straight to the point. "Can you help break it?"
