The great doors of the assembly hall opened slowly.
The sound of the hinges echoed through the enormous chamber, drawing the attention of everyone inside.
Every conversation stopped.
Every whisper disappeared.
Hundreds of eyes turned toward the entrance.
For months, the humans had argued about the Devil King's successor.
Some had called her a threat.
Others had called her an opportunity.
Some believed she was simply a political tool.
And some had wondered whether she even existed as the stories described.
Now they finally had their answer.
Lilith stepped through the doorway.
The first thing the people inside noticed was not her aura.
It was her appearance.
She looked...
Human.
There were no monstrous features.
No terrifying horns towering above her head.
No monstrous claws.
No appearance that immediately separated her from the people sitting inside the hall.
