Simon's mind went blank for a moment.
Daughter of Hell's Sword Daemon.
The Abyss Sovereign had said it calmly, the way someone might mention the weather.
Simon's expression didn't change, but his heart was no longer calm.
He had prepared himself for many things on the way to this palace. He had thought the Sovereign might suspect that Lilith was more than a Lesser Demon. He had even considered the possibility that the Sovereign had connected her to the spirit Daemon he mentioned before the council.
But this?
The Sovereign knew exactly who she was.
Only one question remained in Simon's mind.
'How did he know?'
Lilith's name was not something written in the history of this age. Even the elders, with all their knowledge of ancient Daemons, had only guessed that the Daemon behind his bloodline evolution method existed as a spirit. They had never learned her name. As far as Simon knew, he was the only living being who knew that she existed.
He glanced at Lilith.
