After a few seconds, Lilith's lips finally parted, and she gave her answer.
"I want to get rid of the demon king, for good, so our family can be safe."
Figured that was the case. She wants to kill the demon king, which means our interests aligned, at least temporarily. Lilith was powerful; there wasn't any doubt about that. She would be the perfect shield for me.
Whether I would come to see her as a mother, I wasn't sure. Right now, my feelings toward her were mixed. On one hand, I felt a strange connection to her, and on the other hand, I was naturally wary of her. After all, she was the one who sent the demon slayer after Khalissi, and I killed her son.
Could a normal mother-son relationship even be formed after all that has happened?
Plus, the way she looks at me like how a starving lion looks at meat didn't help much to ease my suspicion. She seemed like an over-compassionate mother. I bet she was the same way with her other children too.
