"Forget it. Let's talk about something more constructive."
"Constructive? Are you planning to have a taboo, erotic affair with me, a king who has failed and lost everything? After I reject you, you'll lure me with food, drug it to knock me out, then take my purity while I'm completely defenseless—is that it?"
Su Mo's libido took another hit. Expressionless, he said, "Sorry, I have no such plans. Don't make things up. Also, Artoria, didn't you say before that you wanted to protect humanity and yourself from the Magus King? Then why not try defeating the Magus King?"
"That's impossible. Didn't you hear what I said before? The Incineration of Humanity has already reached its final stage."
"That's just an excuse for you to escape reality. You simply don't want to resist or face it."
As he spoke, Su Mo walked toward Saber Lily.
"Make a contract with me. I'll lend you my power. I'll help you face it, help you resist together, and together we'll send that Magus King who incinerated humanity flying!"
"A contract...?"
Saber Lily lowered her head slightly. Though she could indeed calmly accept the ending of perishing alongside the Holy City, she did not mind having one more chance to remain behind and personally stab the Magus King a few times... More importantly, though she had lived for over 1,500 years and, as a king, could not display emotions or such things, her heart was honest.
Having wandered as an undead spirit for over 1,500 years, both her heart and mind had long grown weary. Right now, she desperately wanted a warm embrace to lean on.
"A contract alone isn't enough. I need an embrace to fill the exhaustion I've carried for over 1,500 years."
"No problem." Su Mo pulled Saber Lily into his arms
