They exist for one purpose alone: to be trampled into dust beneath the boots of those strong enough to stand above them…For that, is the law of the worlds."
Although he said, seeing this side of her, Rahu's heart tightened; it was as if an invisible force squeezed it, stifling his breath. That sensation was awfully uncomfortable.
The storm of souls and screams did not vanish.
The souls still howled and screamed at her…still accusing her.
But right that instant, something shifted. Yveline's trembling gradually slowed. Her finger, which had been clutching her head, loosened. Her breathing slowly became steady.
Rahu smiled when he saw this. He could have directly devoured the souls present here. But he didn't, because this was the first woman he respected. It would be more cruel to her than helpful.
He stood there beside her, tall and unwavering. His presence shielded her like a pillar driven into the void itself.
The souls screeched again.
"Monster!"
"Traitor!"
