Chapter 379: The Ultimate Pleasure

However... 

Everything ultimately revolved around— 

Licitris's belief that she was on the brink of Annihilation, filled with longing, desiring to obtain a connection. 

This provided Sterl with an opportunity to exploit her vulnerability. 

At that moment, Licitris could only stand there, feeling wronged. 

Her earlier words had carried some of a queen's authority, but now she resembled an ordinary girl. 

"What's wrong?" 

"I'm serious..." 

"Though I've had many partners in the past, they were merely toys." 

"I will absolutely be loyal to you!" 

Licitris spoke with utmost sincerity; in the final stages of her life, she had no desire to seek additional lovers. 

Sterl shook his head, maintaining his cold demeanor. 

"We're just using each other." 

"Your people offended me earlier, and you helped me take revenge." 

"We're even now."
