"Lilith?" Aaron called out, uncertain and confused. His voice and sudden presence brought the battle to a pause. Lilith turned from her clash with Brian, her expression shifting as she caught sight of the newcomers.
Her eyes lit up—not just at the sight of Odin, but also Thomas and Will.
"You bastard! You caused me so much stress!" Lilith snapped, abandoning the fight entirely. She stormed toward the trio, her face a whirlwind of emotion that made Aaron instinctively tense. Her furious expression told him everything he needed to know.
"Lilith, calm down. There's no need to take things too far," Aaron said cautiously, slowly stepping back. He was clearly unnerved by the angry demoness.
"Calm down? Do you know how much trouble your dumb guild members put me through?" she said with a smile—but it was hollow, never reaching her eyes.
"He wasn't aware, Lilith. None of us were," Will tried to interject, defending Aaron. But it only earned him a sharp, icy glare from her.
