The Incubus System Chapter 728. You Want to Set Me Free So You Can…

I bobbed my head in agreement, fully aware that the task ahead would be far from a walk in the park. "Yes, I know it's going to be a tough battle. If push comes to shove, I might have to resort to more forceful means to ensure your freedom," I admitted, considering the potential scenarios that lay before me. I mulled over the possibilities, contemplating the potential repercussions. Perhaps I could request assistance from Mia, someone with the power to issue an evacuation order, minimizing the risk to innocent lives while ensuring Puriel's freedom.

She fell silent, her brows furrowing in deep contemplation. I could practically see the gears turning in her mind as she pondered the situation. Then, out of the blue, she broke the silence with a surprising proposition. "What if... what if I agree to donate my energy in small amounts from time to time?" she suggested, her voice laced with a mix of uncertainty and hope.

Her idea caught me off guard, and I found myself momentarily speechless. It was an unprecedented suggestion that had the potential to shift the power dynamics and provide a compromise that hadn't been considered before.

I took a moment to collect my thoughts before responding. "That's... an interesting proposal," I mused, weighing the pros and cons.

"That could potentially be a game-changer," she interjected, her voice filled with a newfound enthusiasm.

I regarded her with a hint of skepticism, raising an eyebrow in disbelief. "Hold on a second," I said, my tone tinged with caution. "What with the sudden enthusiasm?"

A fleeting moment of uncertainty passed over her features, but she quickly composed herself, determined to explain her motivations. "Even though the light dimension has cast me aside, stripped me of my angelic status, I am still an angel at heart," she declared, her voice laced with a mix of righteous determination and bitterness. "It's my duty to prevent the demons from wreaking havoc in the human world."

My mind processed the implications of her proposal. It was undeniably a good idea, a potential lifeline that could lead us out of this predicament. I found myself silently acknowledging her ingenuity, impressed by her ability to think outside the box. This meant her isolation hadn't completely eroded her logic after all.

As I fell into a momentary silence, I couldn't help but let my gaze wander, taking in her form from head to toe. I noted the subtle curves of her figure, the way her features held a certain allure. 'I never thought she would be this smart,' I complimented her.

However, my prolonged scrutiny did not go unnoticed. Puriel's expression shifted, her brow furrowing in a mixture of confusion and unease. Instinctively, she crossed her arms over her chest. Her body language suggested a hint of caution as if she were distancing herself from me.

A bewildered look settled on her face as she confronted me with an unexpected accusation. "Wait a minute... You want to set me free just so you can... you know, have sex with me, do you?" Her words were laced with suspicion, a tinge of apprehension coloring her voice.

I gave her an incredulous stare, utterly perplexed by her assumption. Why on earth would she think such a thing when we were discussing something as serious as our plan for her own freedom? My initial admiration for her logical thinking quickly dissipated, replaced by a wave of exasperation. "Okay, scratch that compliment," I muttered under my breath.

Unable to resist the opportunity to tease her, I allowed a mischievous grin to form on my face. I figured I might as well play along for a bit. "Well, of course, that's also one of my goals," I responded, my tone dripping with playful sarcasm.

Her eyes widened in shock, her mouth agape. "Wait, so you really do want to set me free just for that?" she exclaimed, her voice a mix of surprise and indignation.

I maintained my flat stare, unable to comprehend how she could have so readily believed that I had such shallow intentions. Frustration welled up within me, and I couldn't help but voice my discontent. "Come on, Puriel. You can't seriously think that's true," I complained, my tone tinged with annoyance. It was disheartening to think she would question my integrity so easily.

As the awkwardness of the situation settled upon us, I found myself at a loss for words. I pressed my lips together, searching for the right way to express my thoughts. Finally, I mustered the courage to speak, my voice tinged with a touch of vulnerability. "Well, I can't deny that I am interested in that tho," I admitted.

She seemed on the verge of protesting, but I cut her off before she could voice her objections. "But," I interjected, "That's because I have to break my angelic seal." I locked my gaze with hers, hoping she would understand the weight of my words.

Her lips pressed together, her blush deepening as realization washed over her. "Oh right, I remember that,” she murmured, her voice filled with a mix of embarrassment and comprehension.

"Good," I responded, a sense of relief washing over me. "I'll discuss your idea with Mia. She might have insights or alternative solutions. Hopefully, we'll receive some positive news soon," I confessed, my voice filled with a mixture of hope and determination.

She nodded in response.

"Since everything has settled…" I mumbled, feeling the weariness weighing me down. I lay down and closed my eyes, hoping to find solace in sleep. "Now let me sleep," I added. The events of the day had drained me, and all I wanted was a moment of respite.

However, it seemed that Puriel had other plans in mind. "Good," she chimed in, her voice filled with excitement. "Then I will tell my story!"

I gasped, my eyes snapping open as I turned towards her. An innocent smile played on her lips as she clutched a thick book in her hand.
