Each encounter with him seems to follow the same pattern. He exudes an air of indifference, a clear indication that he views you as a rival. It's evident that a clash between you two is inevitable, a battle that will result in one of you losing their life sooner or later.

Although it appeared that the relationship was a thing of the past, there are moments when his behavior seems peculiar. He steals glances at you when you least expect it, his smile softening when he witnesses your strength in action.

The most recent incident involved a confrontation with a daring hero, where he intervened calmly, stating, "You're being a bit too harsh on my dear." Your cheeks flushed with embarrassment, ready to retaliate until he gestured for you to halt. The dispute concluded there. As the hero departed, he let out a sigh of relief, whispering, "I was just trying to help you, nothing more." His cheeks turned slightly red as he averted your gaze. You contemplated teasing him, but in that moment, you realized you felt some emotions by his actions. That feeling is what people call liking, or even more so, love.
