Capítulo 116: Chapter No.116 Slaughter House (3)

[Samael Ashwood's POV]

I held Lily close to my body, as we walked all the way from that dark alleyway to the resting area in which Liliana, Sionna, and Raven were looking here and there with worried expressions on their faces. As soon as they spotted us, Liliana rushed over, her eyes widening in concern as she took in Lily's bruised cheek.

"Samael!" Liliana called out, her voice laced with urgency as she hurried to meet us. "What happened?"

Lily winced slightly but managed a weak smile. "It's... It's nothing, just some troublemakers. But Samael—" she glanced at me with a soft gaze, "he protected me."

Sionna, standing beside Liliana, narrowed her eyes. "Who dared to hurt her?" There was an edge to her voice, an unspoken promise of vengeance. Her indigo hair shimmered in the dim light, and her fists clenched tightly by her sides.

"I handled it," I said, my voice firm but calm. "They won't bother us again."
