章 34: What it Mean to Dominate Someone's Heart (R-18)

"Why me? You could make Emma one. She's more useful to you than I am."

"She's not worth it, nor is she capable of becoming one. Giving your whole heart to someone isn't something just anyone can do." 

"You do it for your mom, which means you're capable of it."

Nerissa starts pondering his words, the meaning of giving one's whole heart.

After taking Mara as one of his apostles, Malacai understands the meaning of dominating someone's heart.

He got lucky with Mara, but realized that finding others will be very hard.

Just being completely obedient to his orders is not enough, not even feelings of love or obsession. 

It's beyond all that, where they put him as a priority above everything else.

When their only reason for living is him, like how Nerissa accepts her situation, despite all the hatred in her heart, as long as it can guarantee her mother's happiness.
