Seven Sins System Chapter 417. You Want Me to Answer That?
Puriel’s PoV
A silent tension seemed to hang between Puriel and Azrael. The only sound was the soft, rhythmic breathing of the girls on the bed.
Standing at the foot of the bed, her hands moved, reaching out towards the girls.
A soft, ethereal glow emanated from her palms.
Puriel knew the girls had recovered; they no longer needed her healing. Yet, here she was, performing a redundant ritual.
The glow from her hands was nothing more than a façade. But why continue the charade?
Perhaps it was because of him.
Azrael, sitting casually against the headboard, his intense gaze fixed on her. There was something about him, something that always drew her closer, yet filled her with an inexplicable turmoil.
Puriel couldn't tell. All she knew was that standing here, under his watchful eyes, made her feel alive in a way that was both terrifying and exhilarating.
The truth was, Puriel was confused. Her feelings for Azrael were a tangled web of anger, fascination, and something dangerously close to desire.
Maybe she continued this fake healing because it gave her a reason to stay in this room, to be near him.
Yes, she had tried—to bridge their worlds by sharing her thoughts and her realm's norms. She wanted, more than anything, to make him understand what was appropriate or not in her eyes, to give him a glimpse of her truth.
Azrael had been blunt. He had said to her that they couldn’t be together. It wasn’t just impractical; it was impossible.
A goddess and a devil, intertwined?
It was the stuff of tragic myths, not real life. But then the past had unveiled itself, revealing Azrael was El—the El of her childhood, the friend who had once made her world a brighter, kinder place.
This revelation had reignited a spark of hope in Puriel's heart. The possibility that somewhere beneath Azrael’s hardened, devilish exterior, the boy she knew and cherished still lingered.
Could she revive El, coax him out from under the darkness that Azrael had wrapped around himself?
Once more, Puriel's eyes flickered to Azrael, and she found his gaze already anchored on her.
His expression gave nothing away. The slight furrow in his brow could have been irritation or perhaps frustration.
Choosing to ignore him seemed the easiest response, but in truth, Puriel felt paralyzed.
As a devil, Azrael's views on relationships were straightforward, largely revolving around the primal aspects—sex being the main component.
But Puriel, a goddess enshrined in the virtues of chastity, found herself at a crossroads. She knew in the deepest chambers of her heart that she could never fulfill this part of him.
This difference twisted inside her. She wasn't even sure if Azrael had the capacity to grasp the concept of love as she knew it.
To him, the devil's doctrine taught that lust was an end in itself, and love, if it was acknowledged at all, was a secondary, perhaps unnecessary, emotion.
How could she explain the depth of love, its sacrifices and its purity, to someone whose very nature might be incapable of comprehending it fully?
"Hey, wanna bang?" he said out of the blue.
She turned sharply towards him, her expression twisting into a cringe of disgust.
“You seriously want me to answer that?” she retorted.
A satisfied smile curled the corners of Azrael's lips, clearly amused by her reaction.
“At last, you gave me a reaction,” he noted, his voice laced with satisfaction.
“So you just want a reaction from me?” Puriel’s voice rose, tinged with annoyance.
She crossed her arms, distancing herself physically as if to protect her sanctity.
“Don't you think that's too childish?” she challenged, her eyes narrowing.
