Compared to Angel's surprise, Yurika was even more astonished.

Thus, Yurika had assumed that Xius might act against Angel after returning.

She had even considered explaining things to Xius before he merged with his puppet avatar's will, asking him not to touch Angel for the time being. After all, Phantom Demon stood behind him.
