As the guards surged forward, their sights set on Nora, Lilith's disdain was evident, evident in the derisive sound that escaped her lips. Her piercing gaze turned back to Valerie, their eyes locked in a tense exchange.
"Tch! So, your plan is to eliminate her no matter the cost?" Lilith questioned, her voice laced with contempt and incredulity.
Valerie's response was devoid of hesitation, her determination unwavering. "Yes, if it means obtaining what I desire," she affirmed. Her voice carried a hint of longing as she continued, her hand instinctively resting upon her chest.
"After all this time, I've finally encountered someone who sets my heart ablaze." A faint smirk curled upon her lips as she added, "I simply yearn to bring him to his demise".
In response to Valerie's admission, a fiery determination ignited within Lilith. Adopting a fighting stance, she radiated an aura of ominous black energy, encompassing her entire form.
