Reincarnated as incubus: I didn't mean to seduce you!-Chapter 494 - 192: Lily’s Lament and Kael’s Charm (10K)_4
Even when he heard Senior Sister Lily say that, deep down, he still felt it was somewhat overthinking and overly sentimental.
It was just an ordinary rescue.
No matter who was there that day, whether it was Elanna, Hassaka, Lily, or anyone else, Kael would have chosen to help.
Within his capabilities, he was willing to reach out to others.
However, it was this very "within his capabilities" that made Lily's eyes shimmer every time she remembered it, with a silent yet determined desire to keep him in her heart.
He realized at that moment that she was a girl who lost her parents during her childhood.
She was starved for love but feared being loved.
When someone showed her kindness with no expectations of return, it was easy to touch her deeply.
If it happened to be a rescue after an emotional breakdown, it could easily leave a lasting impression on her.
But fundamentally, that rescue, in Kael's eyes, was just a helping hand. He didn't pay much attention to it at the time of the rescue, nor did he invest much emotion.
Saving you wasn't about showing kindness, it was just what I wanted to do. Is this moment really that important to you?
After all, Kael knew his capabilities were finite, and he couldn't save her every time.
Maybe one day, he wouldn't even be able to save himself and would die alone, curled up in some corner of the world.
He naturally disliked that Lily was stuck in the past, but he couldn't help but remember that scene.
The look in her eyes when she stubbornly bit her lip and stared at him.
So, time and time again, he picked up this poor girl, wondering if he could arm her with his current command of spell, like leveling up in a game.
This way, with thick protective layers, she might become someone remarkable.
But now, this silly girl clearly had Mr. Luxius as her towering protector, yet she still stood seriously by his side, head lowered, smiling, and said,
"It's okay, just a little is enough!"
Stop being an idiot! You are like a rootless duckweed now, use every resource you can find!
What kind of nonsense non-competition! If I were in your position, I would do whatever it takes to seize everything I could.
Even if some actions were inhumane, it wouldn't matter.
But why? Why did this silly girl still have a hesitant look on her face, wanting to refuse?
Perhaps she truly felt inferior to her core?
People who have experienced having nothing often go to one of two extremes when making choices.
One is to exhaust all possibilities, try everything, and if there's nothing, then struggle, fight, and seize. Hold tightly to everything within their control.
The other extreme...
Would turn out like Lily.
Non-competition!
No matter the emotions others had when giving her something, whether it was simple pity or genuine hope to help like a friend or teacher.
All of this always gave her the pain of the question, "Do I really deserve this?" Because she had nothing before, and she believed she would have nothing in the future...
So, she simply chose to give up everything.
Just quietly accompanying the people who were good to her was enough. That was Lily's obsession.
She had to convince herself that she wouldn't ask for anything, just needing a warm corner in the world that wouldn't push her away was enough.
"Mr. Luxius, whatever you're giving me, give it to Kael instead. I'm still far from deserving it; it's better suited for someone who needs it."

Kael was silent for a moment, glanced at Lily, then looked at Luxius, finally sighing and saying,
"In that case, Mr. Luxius, give it to me."
Luxius looked at Kael in surprise. It wasn't that the items were too valuable for Luxius to be emotional about, but he didn't expect the boy to choose to accept Lily's goodwill.
He could previously sense that while Kael often appeared to be around Lily, the boy was consciously building a wall between them.
He just didn't expect this time, Kael chose to break that wall, which astounded Luxius.
As he pondered what went through Kael's mind, he met Kael's determined expression.
Could it be... this boy finally decided to walk down the path of "you are all my wings"?
In fact, if one thought about it, Kael was inherently talented in this regard. Incubus, after all, this species almost never produced males. Only in extremely rare cases was there a certain chance of a male Incubus.
Most of the time, those who possessed the traits of Incubus lineage, were like Kael, a Mixed Blood Incubus.
Even male Mixed Blood Incubus were rare in the Incubus species. It could be said without reservation that Kael himself was a rarity.
