Leila stood there in front of Sven, unflinching. Her focus was all spent on him that she didn't notice Vreskrr approaching towards her. It took her Sven's words to realize that the demon girl was beside her.

As she had feared, Sven responded with mockery. There was no tone of compassion in his voice, only a strong sense of nihilism. If this man who was standing in front of her really was the Sven that saved her years ago, then something must have happened; something that greatly changed his personality to the worse.

And to think that something changed him so much that he had no remorse destroying his own hometown...

"I am not going to kill you, Sven," she replied, her tone stern and calm, "At least, I am not going to kill the Sven that I once knew. The Sven that saved me years ago. Do you remember the village of Remuria? It got attacked by the demons. Every single person died that day, including my own father and mother. But I alone survived. And you know why it is? It's because you saved me. You saved me before the demons can get to me. And that day, I saw your tears; tears of regret for failing to get to the village in time."

Leila paused for a little bit, composing herself as her voice had begun to shake.

"I do not know what kind of injustice you have witnessed. By showing me those people behind you, I assume you are talking about the difference between the rich and the poor? Or about slavery? True, there are injustices in that, but your own injustice is bigger. How many people have you slaughtered ever since you become the Tyrant? And if that wasn't enough, you have to taint them with necromancy as well, giving them no rest even in death. That is the most foul of injustice. An injustice fit of the demon king himself! So for what purpose did you defeat him, if you're just going to replace him?"

At this point, her voice had greatly shook with anger. Anger and disappointment. Leila could feel her eyes tearing up as well but she tried as hard as she could to hold it back.

"You're not going to make a better world by doing this. You're just going to ruin it. So please! Stop all of this madness! I know you're a good man inside, Sven!"

Her pleading speech however, was soon followed by Alionna's wrathful indictment. Leila couldn't help to glare at the priestess whom she didn't notice coming in as well since she was ruining her persuasive power.
