At the sound, Austin's expression froze, and he slowly turned his head to look at Leo.
The surrounding guests were also stunned, their eyes shifting between Lilith and Leo.

"Do you realize how impolite and foolish this is?" he said calmly.
Lilith bit her lip.

She slightly parted her lips, managing a weak smile towards Lilith.
"Thank... you," she mouthed silently, slowly shaking her head.
Watching the succubus shake her head, tears also began to roll down Lilith's cheeks.
Not out of sorrow, but from a sense of helplessness.
She knew that, no matter how angry she was, she couldn't save the succubus with her strength alone.
