It only made sense that he was interested in her since she was quite the beautiful woman in the first place.
But then again, I had to think about it from the demon point of viewâŠ
Some demons had different aesthetic senses compared to humans since they had different bodies compared to humans.
So the beauty that I saw in Elizabeth was only considered beauty in the eyes of a humanâŠso it wasnât as if all the demons would consider her beautifulâŠ
Then again, the three eyed demon race wasnât that different from humans either, so this Caiman should see her as a beautiful woman.
Especially with the way that he looked at her.
It was hard to hide the traces of lust that were in his eyes as he looked at Elizabeth.
I shook those thoughts out of my mind before becoming too distracted by them and went back to focusing on Caiman who still didnât seem to put me in his eyes. It was clear that there was only one thing that was on his mind and one thing only.
Elizabeth looked like she was about to say something, but I cut her off by saying, "Yes, thereâs no need for you to trust me. Feel free to continue thinking whatever you want to think, that is the freedom that you have. But just because someone doesnât believe something, it doesnât mean that itâs not true."
When Caiman heard this, he finally turned to look at me.
He was finally looking at me like he was noticing me for the first time.
He narrowed his eyes to look at me before saying, "Big talk coming from a human."
"Yes, but wasnât it the humans that pushed you back in the first place?"
At this, he deeply knitted his brows as a trace of killing intent appeared in his eyes.
But I wasnât worried since the other demons didnât react the same way as him.
The other demons had faint smiles on their faces when they heard this.
The demon race was one where strength ruled, so their way of settling conflict was naturally to show strength. In the demon race, if one side backed down, then they would be looked down upon.
I knew this because of the parts of the game that had been in the territory of the demons, so I knew what kind of behaviour to show when facing the demons.
But Klein and the others didnât know this.
So when they saw that there was a trace of killing intent that appeared in Caimanâs eyes, they wanted to step forward to protect me as my guards. Only they were stopped by me raising my hand to stop them.
Caiman didnât miss the movements from Klein and the others, so a smile appeared on his face as he said, "Oh, it seems like your babysitters have something to say about this. Perhaps you should listen to them and not act out."
The tone that he had was as if he was talking to a child.
The disdain in his voice was very clear.
But that wasnât surprising since I had already crossed the line earlier.
So if I were to back down nowâŠ
Acting like I wasnât fazed at all, I said, "Hmm, theyâre just worried about you. Big words like that should be backed by big action and it seems like you have neither."
"YouâŠ" Caiman narrowed all three of his eyes to look at me.
Elizabeth stepped in at this by saying, "Caiman, this is the guest from the human race. You should understand what that means."
There were some other demons that stepped forward and nodded in agreement while mediating on behalf of Elizabeth.
These were clearly the demon leaders that backed her, so they had to show some form of support for Elizabeth. But at the same time, I could tell that they were holding back to a certain extent while also probing me.
It seemed that they were interested to see what kind of things I would be capable of.
As expected of the demon race that respected strength.
When Elizabeth stepped in, Caiman also had to show a bit of restraint since she was the demon queen of the demon race. It wasnât as if he would be able to beat her and it wasnât as if he wanted to beat her.
He was someone that wanted to woo her and marry her to become the demon king.
But it was also clear that he was annoyed because Elizabeth stood up for me.
At the same time, he could tell that there was something special about the way that Elizabeth stood up for me.
It was a certain tone of voice that she took that annoyed him.
Only before he could actually say anything, I said, "Then how about we play a little game?"
Caiman looked at me with a strange look when he heard this, showing that he clearly didnât expect me to propose something like this.
At the same time, the others looked at me with strange looks since they didnât understand what I meant when I proposed we play a âgameâ.
It wasnât as if playing a game would actually do anything at a time like this.
But I didnât seem fazed at all as I said, "I think that thereâs a special game that your three eyed demon race plays, so I think that it would be the perfect thing to play here."
"YouâŠ" Caiman said in a voice that had a trace of threat to it.
After all, he immediately understood what I meant when I said this.
But that just made him even more angry since the thing that I proposed was considered an important thing for the three eyed demon race.
Those that understood looked at me like I was crazy and those that didnât understandâŠstill looked at me like I was crazy.
Still I said, "How about we play a round of Illusory Battle?"
