Light Banquet stiffened, her expression instantly going blank.
Sure enough.
It was just as she had thought.
What she hadn't expected was that this guy would actually admit it so openly!
A faint smile curved Lynn's lips as he said softly, "We're allies, after all. But we used to be enemies. If we don't have a little leverage over each other, how could we dare trust each other with our backs? Don't worry, though. Once you've done what you promised me, I'll remove it for you right away. I can guarantee that much."
Light Banquet's gaze turned icy, and she said nothing.
Lynn said softly, "Otherwise, how could I dare trust you, Light Banquet?"
A long silence followed.
Light Banquet slowly clenched her fists.
But she knew he was telling the truth.
She was at his mercy and had no room to bargain.
At that moment, however, she finally understood just how terrifying this guy was.
What sort of calculating face lay beneath that warm smile? The mere thought sent a chill through her. She could never be sure whether, while he joked and laughed with her, another pair of cool, rational eyes in his mind was scrutinizing her. When he behaved so immaturely, even absurdly, in front of her, was there a cold glint flickering deep in his eyes?
This guy...
If demon kings really existed in this world, he had every reason to be counted among them.
In fact, if Satan didn't get a tattoo of him, it would feel like an insult to the word "devil"!
"I understand-"
She bit her lip.
Even if she was unwilling, there was nothing she could do.
"I'll do what you say-"
"Then take your clothes off."
"..."
Bang, bang, bang-crack, smack-bang, bang-
