Title [3]

Iris smiled again.

She couldn't stop smiling ever since Damien came to her soul space.

It was something even she herself couldn't fathom.

'Was I always this easy?'

To think she'd cave so easily! Even she didn't expect how quickly her thoughts shifted from hesitation to acceptance.

'No, it's not that.'

This was entirely Damien's fault.

Her interest in him began during their first meeting. He was the first person to ever look directly into her eyes and remain unaffected, which naturally drew her to him.

When they were together in the Severed World, while the persona she created disallowed them from interacting much, Iris saw him with his wives and saw how he acted regularly as well.

Strangely, instead of the fact that he was a man with many wives repulsing her, the care he had for them despite their number and the fact that he was always putting them above himself drew her towards him even more.
