Sebastian, sensing Eliana's unease, reached out to squeeze her hand reassuringly. "We will face whatever challenges come our way," he said, his voice firm yet gentle. "Together."
Eliana nodded, drawing strength from his touch. She knew that the road ahead would not be easy, but with Sebastian by her side, she felt a sense of courage she had never known before. The Demon God, once a figure of fear and isolation, was now her partner, her protector, and her love.
As Sebastian and Lito left the dining room, their footsteps echoing in the sudden silence, Eliana turned to Sophie, a warm smile gracing her lips. "Would you like to explore the mansion?" she asked, hoping to distract the young girl from the unsettling news.
Sophie's eyes lit up with excitement. "Yes, please!" she exclaimed, her earlier anxieties forgotten.
Eliana rose from her seat, taking Sophie's hand in hers. "Come along then," she said, leading the way out of the dining room.
