Alex nodded, his expression thoughtful. "It seems so. He felt trapped in a role he never wanted. In his last moments, he wished for a different life—a life where he could be free of the burdens of being the Demon King."
Brittany furrowed her brow as she processed this information. "But does he understand what that means? Being human isn't just about the absence of magic; it comes with its own struggles and limitations."
"Maybe that's exactly what he wants," Alex replied. "To experience life without the weight of his past. I think he's searching for redemption in this new existence."
Amelia placed a hand on Alex's arm, concern etched on her face. "You care for him, don't you? Even after everything he's done?"
