Evangeline froze.
A ridiculous fact suddenly dawned on her.
Ever since she had known Nix, his every thought had been for her to kill Loras and possess this body alone. Yet this Beastman, so paranoid he bordered on madness, lost all will to live the moment he lost her. He gave everything to the very soul he despised most.
At the tribal trading assembly, she had actually seen the madness in Nix's violet eyes shatter, piece by piece.
What Nix left behind in the end was not hate, but an extreme love—an unspoken... sacrifice to see her wish fulfilled.
He knew better than anyone what she wanted.
And so, with his own hands, he transferred his life force to her target, granting her wish in the cruelest way imaginable.
Evangeline put the egg back into her storage space and took Loras's hand.
His body was rigid, and a flicker of resistance and repulsion crossed his eyes, but ultimately, he did not pull his hand away.
