Luciferia was wrapped in Mya’s warmth and was feeling a happiness that could not be envied by anything in the world. But that perfect moment didn’t last long.

“Her Majesty, what are you doing now?”

The door was opened roughly with a sharp voice.

“Lilith!”

Luciferia reflexively escaped from Mya’s embrace and opened her eyes.

There was Lilith glaring with cold anger in her eyes.

“How dare you say where this place is…”

Before Luciferia’s cold voice even finished, Lilith’s gaze turned to Mya, who was in her arms.

“Mya…!”

Lilith’s eyes instantly turned into embarrassment and jealousy.

“I asked you what you are doing now, Your Majesty.”

She gritted her teeth and asked again. The air in the room suddenly became cold.

Luciferia did not even shake an eyebrow at Lilith’s cruel question, but instead smiled leisurely.

“Well, what does it look like? I think you know without asking, Liris?”

Lilith’s anger began to boil over at her provocative tone.

“Don’t pretend not to know! How dare you hold my daughter in your arms… What have you done!”

Lilith gritted her teeth and gave strength to the words, ‘My dear.’ Mya meant that it was her property.

“Ha! Yes mya? Don’t be ridiculous. Lilith.”

Luciferia said sarcastically.

“It is true that you brought her here on your own, but Mya is the ‘human child’ I was looking for at my command. In other words, it was mine from the beginning.”

“Nonsense! I personally rescued him from the forest and brought him back! You didn’t lift a finger!”

Lilith’s voice rose.

“Furthermore, knowing how much I cared for and cared for Mya…!”

She sent a pitiful look towards Mya.

“Do you really think I brought Mya back on my own?”

Luciferia said coldly.

“If you care about Mya so much, why did you disobey my orders and take her without permission? Who is it that threw the entire demon world into chaos by publishing it on MATube without my permission and even holding a contest?”

“That’s…”

Lilith was speechless. As Luciferia said, she tried to use Mya to increase her popularity and strengthen her power.

“I thought I could do anything for Mya! I thought it was a hundred times better than leaving it coldly like you did!”

“Neglect? How dare you leave someone behind!”

A spark of anger flashed in Luciferia’s eyes.

“You don’t know how much I care and love Mya!”

“Love?”

Lilith snorted and said.

“If you really love Mya, would you be able to look at her with such cold eyes? To you, Mya is just… an interesting toy, a cute pet, nothing more or less!”

Luciferia’s expression turned cold. Lilith’s words were like a dagger piercing deep into her heart. In fact, Luciferia herself could not accurately define her feelings toward Mya.

‘toy? Pet…? no…’

Luciferia tried to deceive herself. The warmth I felt when I held Mya, the unknown emotions I felt every time I looked into her eyes… were more than just possessiveness or curiosity.

“Shut up, Lilith.”

Luciferia said in a cold voice.

“How dare you judge my heart? You’re just trying to use Mya to gain power! Don’t hide your ugly desires under the mask of love!”

“A mask? You must be hiding behind the authority of the queen and trying to monopolize Mya!”

Lilith did not lose and fought back.

“Mya is not your property! Mya is… Mya is…”

Lilith was unable to continue speaking and looked at Mya. Lilith felt something hot rising from a corner of her heart.

“Mya… I will protect her!”

Lilith blocked Mya’s path and glared at Luciferia. Her eyes were burning with love, jealousy, and anger.

The air in the room became heavy due to the fierce battle between the two demons.

Hyunseong sighed inwardly.

‘How did this happen…?’

Hyeonseong’s body trembled involuntarily at the bloody scene unfolding before his eyes.

‘I don’t know what you’re talking about… but it sure looks like they’re fighting because of me…’

The sight of the two demons glaring at each other as if they were going to kill each other was terrifying.

Those eyes, that expression, the life that filled those surroundings…

It was daunting and dangerous, as if two huge beasts were fighting over territory.

‘With just one finger, something like me wouldn’t even be left with dust, right?’

Hyunseong swallowed his saliva without realizing it.

It reminded me of a terrible drama I used to watch on TV. The scene where the wife and her lover were fighting over the descendant of a chaebol family, holding his hair, and the scene where the entire family was entangled in a sea of tears because of the secret of his birth…

I thought, ‘At that time, it was just a drama, so we fought like that in a childish way… It doesn’t happen like that in real life.’

But no.

Reality is worse than the drama, and the jealousy of the beautiful demonic beauties was beyond imagination.

‘But… it’s not bad to be loved by these beauties, right?’

Hyunseong tried to think positively.

But at that moment, their legs gave out and I collapsed due to the murderous energy they were spewing out.

‘Ugh…!’

I was out of breath. This is what I saw in martial arts novels: being able to kill a person with just one’s life… I was desperately experiencing it with my own body.

‘I thought things like fierce spirit only appeared in cartoons… but now cartoons have become reality…’

Hyeonseong desperately tried to hold on to his spirit.

A sharp tension filled the room, like a tautly pulled bowstring. The atmosphere was so bloody that if one word was wrong, a war would break out at any moment.

But at that moment, something caught the eyes of Lilith and Luciferia at the same time.

Mya’s face, which had been struggling between the two people, was turning pale.

“Mya…!”

A desperate cry burst from Lilith’s mouth.

Where her gaze was directed, there was Mya, sitting down helplessly and breathing hard.

“Mya, are you okay? What’s going on?”

Lilith urgently tried to approach Mya, but at that moment, Luciferia’s cold voice stopped her.

“Get out of the way, Lilith.”

Luciferia pushed Lilith away and knelt in front of Mya. Her hands were careful, and her eyes were full of worry.

“Mya, come to your senses. Can you hear my voice?”

Despite her sweet voice, Mya could only blink her eyes with difficulty.

“What have you done!”

Lilith looked at Mya’s condition and shouted in anger.

“You must be scared for your life!”

Luciferia also did not lose and refuted.

But they both realized it.

How much fear their fight, their fierceness, had brought to the weak Mya.

At the same time, the two demons regretted their actions and seemed to feel sorry for Mya.

“Mya…”

“Mya… please…”

Lilith and Luciferia simultaneously called Mya’s name and anxiously called his name. Their voices no longer contained anger, jealousy, or resentment.

It was full of only worry and affection.

The room was instantly filled with cold silence. Their hearts were filled with only worry and self-reproach for Mya.

Luciferia’s heart sank as she looked at Mya’s pale face. Her hands were trembling, and her eyes were full of anxiety.

“Damn, what should I do in times like this…”

Luciferia was embarrassed and held her head. I even felt fear at the thought that I might lose Mya. At that moment, she thought of the beings she could rely on.

Is there anyone else but “!”

At Luciferia’s urgent cry, the tightly closed door burst open.

“Your Majesty, what happened…”

“Mya…!”

Sarah was looking embarrassed at the door, but she immediately found Mya lying on the floor and ran over in shock. Following her, Leah also entered the room with a serious expression.

“Mya! what’s the matter? What’s wrong?”

Lilith was already kneeling next to Mya and examining her condition. But a look of embarrassment was evident on her face.

“Damn, I’m sure he’s alive…”

Leah muttered in her characteristic calm tone and checked Mya’s pulse. Fortunately, the pulse was weak but beating regularly. However, his breathing was unstable and he was unconscious.

“First… let’s lay him down on the bed.”

Sera calmly resolved the situation and carefully picked Mya up with Lilith and laid her on the bed.

“Leah, find out Mya’s condition.”

“Okay…”

Leah immediately took out a portable diagnostic magic tool and began to skillfully scan Mya’s body. With her skillful hands, Sarah loosened Mya’s clothes and brought her a cold wet towel and placed it on her forehead.

“Hmm… I don’t see any special trauma or disease…”

Leah frowned and muttered the diagnosis results.

“But his biological energy is abnormally low… It seems as if he is under extreme fear or stress.”

“Fear? Stress?”

Lilith made a puzzled expression.

“Looking at Mya’s condition… I guess she was probably exposed to strong magical power. Especially… accompanied by mental shock…”

“What is that…”

Luciferia tried to refute, but soon remembered her own actions and kept her mouth shut. The fierceness between himself and Lilith, the fierce battle between them over Mya…

‘Could it be…is that really why Mya…?’

I couldn’t believe it, but it was really because of that.

Luciferia lowered her head in guilt.

“Damn… I was a fool!”

She clenched her fists. Instead of protecting Mya, whom he loved, he was filled with anger and self-reproach at the reality that she was hurt because of him.
