"Why would anyone want me...dead?" Lisa asked, looking anxious and terrified. Not just for her life but for others as well. That human woman who was possessed by the Knight was innocent and died due to the demon's influence. And who knows how many shall die this horrible death just to harm her. She is sure that anyone hardly would be benefited by her death.

This entity is hell vent on.

This is the second attack and this one managed to harm her even if it was just a scratch.

After what had gone down at the streets, her guardian demon never left her sight for once when they reached Mingyu's office and kept the human in high alert and fear. Not until Lisa forced him to veil himself from the mortal sight and convincing Mingyu that he was gone. Soon after, they were back at Pride's mansion. Currently, they were in the large space of his living room.

Jungkook was phasing back and forth in front of her. She was seating on the sofa with her knees close to her chest.

He halted, hearing her question. "Sadly, I can't find a reason. But my suspicion is that this must be done by another demon, a powerful one. The incubi were easily commendable. They just need a scent but a knight? They need a strong summoner or a practicer of dark magic to give it a purpose. someone evil enough or a demon." He told and continued to phase around.

Lisa stared at him, contemplating if she should say it. "What if Lucifer himself is doing this? And He is just playing a game with you." She told, gazing at him with uncertainty.

He stopped and turned his head to her words. "No, he wouldn't be playing a game so easy as this. I know him well enough. If he planned to make me fail in my task, i wouldn't even last a day or two. But he may be hiding something about this particular task..." he took a seat on the single sofa and rested two fingers under his chin.

"You mentioned, it could be another powerful demon...as powerful as you? Could it be one of the other princes..." she pauses.

He removed his fingers from his chin and scoffed. "As powerful as me? I doubt. But are you insinuating this mysterious ill wisher is among the other six princes of hell, the six other sins?" He asked, gazing at her with a defensive look.

Lisa did not answer but nodded her head hesitantly.

"That is not possible. My brothers wouldn't-"

"Your brothers?" She suddenly questioned, confused at the way he had addressed the other hell princes.

"Yes, my brothers. Not by blood but by our bond. We are the seven deadly sins. We are each other's equal. No one is more powerful than the other and we have mutual respect for one another. It's hardly believable that any of my brothers would break the sacred bond by sabotaging me."

"You trust them so much..." She told, the genuine shock in her tone irked him.

Jungkook looked down, sighing. "They are the only ones worth my trust...only ones that I am sure won't backstab me. I am aware you don't see us demons having any good qualities but that doesn't mean we don't have brotherhood or even...capable of not trusting our kind." The low and the subtle admiring tone in his voice surprised her further.
