SWNOVELS Chapter Temptation unveiled
In the darkest recesses of his domain, Greed stood surrounded by the flickering inferno, his mind preoccupied by thoughts of the mortal realm. It had been days since he encountered the human musician who played the violin with such raw emotion. Her name echoed in his thoughts—aurora a name as melodic as her music. He had found himself irresistibly drawn to her authenticity, her ability to find solace in the midst of chaos
However, Greed's contemplation was abruptly interrupted by the presence of his brothers—Pride and Envy. The two embodiments of their respective sins circled him like vultures, their forms shifting in the shadows.
"Ah, Greed," Pride sneered, his voice dripping with condescension. "Is it not fascinating to see you preoccupied with something other than your insatiable desires?"
Envy's eyes gleamed with a mixture of resentment and curiosity. "Tell us, brother, what has captured your attention so thoroughly? Could it be that you envy the humans for their ability to experience such emotions?"
Greed's gaze turned cold, his patience tested by his brothers' taunts. "Save your mockery for someone who cares," he retorted, his voice a chilling reminder of his authority.
Pride chuckled, undeterred by Greed's response. "Oh, but brother, we simply find it intriguing that the demon of insatiable desire has become entangled in matters of the heart."
Greed's fists clenched at his sides, his inner turmoil barely concealed. He had always prided himself on his unwavering dedication to his nature, but Auroras presence had unsettled him in ways he couldn't comprehend.
"Do not concern yourselves with matters that do not pertain to you," Greed snapped, his patience wearing thin.
Envy's smirk widened, his eyes glinting with mischief. "We merely wonder how far this newfound fascination will take you. Will you abandon your essence for the sake of a mere mortal?"
Pride joined in, their words a cruel symphony of mockery. "Perhaps you'll become a lovesick fool, forsaking your domain for a chance at companionship."
Greed's anger flared, his eyes blazing with intensity. "I will not stand for your interference," he declared, his voice a low growl that reverberated through the abyss.
The two demons exchanged knowing glances, their amusement evident. With a final taunt, they faded into the shadows, leaving Greed alone with his turbulent thoughts.
As the darkness swallowed them, Greed's resolve hardened. He refused to allow his brothers to dictate his actions. Auroras influence had opened a door within him, one that led to questions about his very existence. He found himself torn between his insatiable desires and the yearning for something more meaningful.
Deep within the abyss of his heart, Greed knew that his journey was just beginning, and the path he chose would forever change not only his own destiny but the fate of both realm.
