Sepia quickly moved her sharp, fang-like head in a complicated situation. Sarah’s unexpected reaction, and feelings close to pure adoration for ‘Mya’…

‘This is a variable…’

It became impossible to secretly take ‘Mya’ to his territory as originally planned.

‘good. ‘Let’s change the plan.’

Sepia quickly changed her strategy.

‘There’s no point in hiding it anymore. In fact, it only backfires.’

Sephia looked at Sarah with sharp eyes as if she had made up her mind.

‘then…’

A sly smile spread across Sephia’s lips.

‘I’m making the most of this situation.’

“Sera.”

Sepia called out to Sarah in a soft but firm voice. Her sharp red eyes were like a wild beast peering through its prey, but there was a calculating light within them.

Sera was startled by Sepia’s sudden call and raised her head. I still couldn’t take my eyes off ‘Mya’.

“Sepia… I am… ”

Sarah stuttered. The conflict between his awe of Mya and his loyalty to Lilith was evident.

“Calm down, Sarah.”

Sepia said with a relaxed smile. But in her mind, she was already calculating the next move.

“It seems like you too have fallen in love with that kid’s charm.”

Sepia deliberately used the word ‘child’. It was to stimulate Sarah’s maternal instinct.

“Me too… The moment I first saw you… ”

Sarah muttered, unable to take her eyes off ‘Mya’.

“I guess so. Same goes for me.”

Sepia nodded and agreed.

“But that child is Lilith’s.”

Sephia tested Sera by deliberately mentioning Lilith’s name.

“Yes, of course. It’s Lilith’s… ”

Sarah lowered her head and answered. But her voice was full of regret.

“But… ”

Sepia interrupted. It was as if he remembered something important.

“Is Lilith really…? Do you truly care and love that child?”

Sarah’s head lifted up at Sephia’s meaningful words.

“What… What do you mean?”

Sera looked at Sepia with surprised eyes.

Sepia smiled faintly. Finally, a small crack appeared in Sarah’s heart.

Now all I had to do was increase her doubts and insecurities.

‘Lilith, having your toy taken away will be more exciting than you think.’

Sepia thought to herself.

And a new plan was already starting to take shape in her head.

Sepia did not miss Sarah’s agitated eyes.

Sepia continued with a leisurely smile, like a skilled hunter enjoying his prey before it suffocates him.

“Lilith… I think he thinks of that child as just a toy. Like your own collection.”

Sepia deliberately chose sharp words to use. It was to plant doubt about Lilith in Sera’s mind.

“But… Lilith… To find that child… ”

Sarah tried to refute, but her voice became quieter without her knowledge. Because what Sepia said was not wrong.

Lilith turned the entire mansion upside down in search of ‘Mya’. However, his appearance was no different from that of a greedy nobleman looking for a lost jewel.

“To find it? well… ”

Sepia trailed off and smiled meaningfully.

“Was it really for that child?”

Sarah couldn’t say anything in response to Sepia’s question. This is because my head is full of complicated thoughts.

“Sera, it seems like you really care about that child.”

Sepia changed the subject and spoke in a soft voice.

“I… I am… ”

Sera turned her gaze to ‘Mya’ again. A small and delicate being… A cute and lovely creature that stimulates protective instincts…

“Without even realizing it… I keep feeling anxious… ”

Sarah opened up about her feelings honestly.

“That heart… I understand.”

Sepia nodded and approached Sarah.

“Me too… If you look at that child… like… ”

Sepia interrupted. And he whispered softly in Sarah’s ear.

“Like… I am overcome by the urge to hold him in my arms and protect him forever.”

Sepia’s sweet voice and breath tickled Sarah’s ears. Sarah felt a shiver all over her body for a moment.

Sepia’s words seeped into Sarah’s heart as sweetly as poison.

“Sera, if it were you… I will be able to make that child happy.”

Sepia said, placing her hand on Sarah’s shoulder.

“With me… ”

Sepia red eyes burned with a strange light.

“Let’s protect that child from Lilith.”

Sarah was confused. In my head, my loyalty to Lilith and my boiling affection for Mya were clashing violently like fireworks.

“I…”

Sarah barely managed to spit out the words in a cracking voice. But I didn’t know what to say.

As Sepia said, it might be better for ‘Mya’ than being by Lilith’s side… but…

‘good. ‘I’m almost there.’

Sepia could not hide her triumphant smile at Sarah’s shaking eyes and anxious spirit.

Now just one last time…

It was right then.

“How dare you!!!”

A woman’s voice full of blood-curdling anger shook the entire hallway. Sephia and Sarah’s bodies stiffened at the same time.

“Lilith… Nim!”

Sarah muttered in a voice full of astonishment.

At the end of the hallway, Lilith, engulfed in dark red energy, stormed in like a storm.

Her blood-red eyes were burning with anger, and in her hand was a whip that radiated dark energy.

“How dare you… !”

Lilith’s angry gaze was directed at Sepia. But the moment her gaze lands on ‘Hyeonseong’ at Sepia’s feet…

“Found it… !”

Hyunseong tilted his head without knowing what was going on. Although I flinched from Lilith’s strong energy, I instinctively knew that she was looking for me.

Tears welled up in Lilith’s eyes. But they were not tears of sadness or anger.

They were tears of relief and joy, like a person who discovered the water of life after a long thirst.

“My cute thing… !”

Lilith completely ignored Sepia and Sera and immediately ran to Hyunseong. And she hugged Hyunseong strongly with her arms that felt strong.

“Are you hurt anywhere? Is there any pain anywhere?”

Lilith breathed a sigh of relief as she examined every inch of Hyunseong’s small body. Her cold lips touched Hyunseong’s forehead and cheeks.

Hyunseong was surprised by Lilith’s sudden actions, but instinctively knew that she was not trying to harm him.

Rather, I felt a warm and cozy feeling and felt reassured.

“Lilith… sir… ?”

Sera carefully called out to Lilith. However, Lilith ignored Sera’s words as if only she and Hyeonseong existed in the world.

Sephia crossed her arms and kept her cool, observing the situation. Lilith’s actions were beyond expectations, but her sharp mind had already figured out the situation.

‘That guy… It’s not just a toy for Lilith.’

Sepia was convinced when she saw Lilith’s eyes looking at Hyeonseong. It wasn’t possessiveness or obsession.

like… The relief and joy you feel when you almost lose something precious and then get it back… It was filled with affection.

‘Interesting.’

Sepia licked her red lips and thought. An unexpected variable arose.

But she didn’t give up.

‘How should I…’ That cute toy… ‘Can I make it mine?’

Lilith was holding Hyunseong in her arms. Her cold body was slowly melting due to Hyunseong’s warmth.

It felt as if my heart, which had been frozen for a long time, was starting to beat again.

‘This warmth… This vitality… ‘

Lilith buried her face in Hyunseong’s soft hair.

Her sharp fangs were slightly exposed, but it was not an expression of aggression, but rather a look of happiness.

‘This child… never… I won’t miss it.’

Lilith made a promise in her heart.

Hyunseong sighed inwardly. I was trying to go to the bathroom, but something happened like this.

Ever since the vampire he met at the bathhouse cast a hiding spell on him, he noticed something strange going on.

But I had no choice but to follow the pressure, as if I was being hugged by a tiger.

I knew she cherished me, but I didn’t feel good because I felt like I was being kidnapped.

The opportunity came and I escaped, and now I am here.

Hyunseong sighed inwardly. ‘Oh really! ‘I’m having a lot of trouble trying to go to the bathroom.’

At first, I was just dazed by the sudden dimensional shift. The demon he met in the forest saved his life.

They treated me well, feeding me food and cuddling me like a doll in bed.

Now he treats me almost like a pet doll.

‘Am I cute?’

When he picked me up with his huge hands, I had no idea it would be like this.

‘No, before that, why are you fighting over me?’

Hyeonseong couldn’t understand.

‘I’m not even a cat!’
