My finger ghost over her cheek as she sleeps peacefully beside me on the bed. She is attractive, utterly beautiful. I still remember the day when she saw me for the first time. Stupid girl, still didn't realize that i'm not Suguru, her lover. She was quick to take me to her house without even questioning my sudden appearance.

Though, i suppose it just makes it easier for my plan. She is not a sorcerer. No. Just a simple woman. But the curse energy sealed inside her body is everything i need to become unstoppable. I can't rush my plan yet. I need to wait. I need to make her voluntarily give it to me herself, or the curse energy would kill me instead. I've seen it once and i'm grateful that those stupid sorcerers don't know anything about her raw power, yet. I need to keep her close to me and act sweet to her like Suguru. When the time comes and I absorb the curse energy from her, i'll just leave her alone.

My eyebrows furrows. Why does the thought make my stomach churn with.. guilt? She was the sweetest woman i have ever met. She is so kind and gentle. Too good for this damn world. She deserves to be loved. I.. i could love her. Yes. I could. Wait-.. no. I need to focus on my plan.

The corner of my lips curled subconsciously when I saw her eyes flutter open.

"Did i wake you up, princess?"

Fuck. It's become my habit now to call her by that nickname.
