I Became the Demon King of Lust

There was an awkward silence that hung in the air after Lilith said this.

She had turned her head away as if she didn't want to look at me, but there was a part of the way that she acted that seemed like she wasn't able to look at me.

It was almost as if there was some kind of secret that she was hiding from me with the way that she turned her head.

I just remained in silence since I really didn't know what to say in response to what she had said.

There was a part of me that wanted to refute what she said, but I realized that I couldn't since I didn't know everything about this thing in the first place. At the same time, a part of me recognized that she must have her reason for saying this.

It was just that she wouldn't tell me that reason…

Seeing her like this, I felt a bit conflicted.

There was a part of me that wanted to ask this, but there was also a part of me that wanted to trust her to a certain extent.

I knew that Lilith did many strange things, but the things that she had done had usually helped me in the long run.

In the first place, if it wasn't for her giving me the demon king system, none of this would have even happened.

So at the very least, I should show her this kind of respect and trust.

In the end, I was the one that broke the silence by saying, "You should know that we are much more deeply linked than other people…or living beings. We should at least show that we have the minimum amount of trust in each other by sharing some information, right?"

Lilith still didn't look at me when she heard this, but I could see that she was slowly peeking back at me.

At the very least, it seemed that she was a bit hesitant about keeping silent.

It seemed like she had been moved to a certain extent by my words.@@novelbin@@

Even though to others, it might have seemed like I was thinking too much since she was in a bunny doll in the first place.

After a long moment of silence, Lilith suddenly gave a sigh before saying, "This is something that I can't tell you about. It's not that I don't want to tell you, it's just that you're not ready to hear it yet."

There was a very confused look that appeared on my face after hearing this.

I narrowed my eyes to look at her as if I was trying to see if she was being serious or not. After all, this was a very strange answer no matter how one looked at this.

But looking at her, I could see that she was serious about this.

It seemed that whatever trouble she was facing was serious enough that she was acting this way.

It made me even more curious about what she wasn't telling me, but since she was willing to take the first step…

"Alright, I'll trust you this time. I hope that you will be able to tell me more in the future." I said this with a deep sigh.

Lilith looked at me with a strange look before giving a nod.

This was the kind of nod that seemed to come from someone with something to feel guilty about.

Though I had no idea what she would feel guilty about.

I was about to turn in for the night, but Lilith suddenly stopped me by saying, "This is what's best for you. I just want to tell you that if you want to know more, you have to become stronger. The more of a demon king you become, the more of the system you will have access to."

I couldn't help slightly knitting my brows when I heard this.

This was something that Lilith kept telling me to do, but to become more of a demon lord was harder than it seemed.

After all, to do the things that were required of a demon lord, especially a demon lord of lust…wasn't that easy. It wasn't something that I could just accomplish because she told me to do.

It would attract a lot of attention to do things like that and this was not something that I could afford to do.

Attention was the last thing that I wanted right now.

So in the end, I just gave a simple nod without saying anything else.

That was because there was something else that I learned from her words.

She was telling me to act more like a demon king in a time where we were supposed to share more information with each other.

This wasn't a direct piece of information, but rather a very indirect piece of information.

Lilith was trying to tell me that this warning of hers was related to…the origin of the demon king system.

The reason she was stopping me was most likely related to the origin of this demon king system that I had.

But what I didn't understand was how the origin of the demon king system was related to this Evolution Stone. It didn't seem like it would be related beyond the fact that they were both related to the dungeons.

The dungeons were the domains of the demon kings and the Evolution Stone had come from a dungeon.

That was the only link that they seemed to have.

Lilith didn't seem like she was going to say anything else.

I could even see that she was trembling a bit while wincing her face.

It seemed that she had already pushed herself to just tell me this much.

If she were to try and tell me more…there was no doubt that she would be punished more by whatever was currently punishing her.

In that case, as her partner, I should know not to push this matter any further than this and just accept what she could give me.

But it all made me very curious as to what the origin of the demon king system was.
