"Is it… related to that mark?"
Dante inhaled deeply.
That sigil wasn't like a normal slavery mark. It was completely different, and no one would look at it and think of enslavement.
Additionally, a strange mark on the head wasn't something unusual. An ability of a class, a strange trait, an artifact, a relic, they all could end up giving similar marks.
However, Emeralda was able to see that the mark was related to Dante somehow based on the feeling she had whenever she looked at him.
That feeling was the trait he hated the most after the misfortune traits, Demon of Temptation.
That trait not only affected his appearance, but also his voice and presence. Dante couldn't stop that trait by only wearing a mask and hiding his face.
Unless he crippled himself, burned his face, and damaged his own throat, he would always be attractive. And his mask couldn't do anything about that. It could hide the existence of his trait, but not disable the effect.
And he hated that.
