If it was the spirit of the Grand Duke, he could resist Lethe, but Merkede would not be able to endure it.

�don�t worry.�I will never let you get hurt.�Just say a word.�

�no.�I didn�t see it.�

Merkede was almost crying.

�You know.�yes?�Now, don�t turn your head and look at me.�Look into my eyes.�

The succubus, who had been hit directly by Lethe�s gaze, felt fear as if it would blow its mind away.

�uh?�Huh?�

No matter how much a child does, in the end, he can�t fool his mother�s eyes.

�If I do this, I�ll get caught.�

Realizing that a signal of lies was floating in his eyes, Merkede made a decision.

�Lethe.�

she smiled faintly.

�Really.�

Just as Lette, reading her eyes, was about to scream, Merkede�s head exploded.

�ah����!�

Shaking back and forth from the mental shock, Lethe stared blankly at the faceless corpse.

�Me, Merkede.�

Memories of laughing and chatting with her flashed through my mind without missing a single scene.

Magritte came.

�Stop going back.�I�ll have to clean up the lab.�I will give you a separate message.�

Lethe tightened her eyes and turned her head.

�Grand Duke, I said���

�Would you like to ask me too?�

The Grand Duke would never make the same choice, but his words increased Lethe�s guilt infinitely.

�I�m sorry, Merkede.�

Like Gaia in the real world, all demons were of equal value to Lethe.

�This is the last time.�Next time I come back, I will never back down.�

In order not to make Merkede�s determination meaningless, Lethe promised the future.

As the laboratory door closed, Magritte raised the hand of the faceless corpse and kissed the back of it.
