Silva took Amber to another room, they sat across a table and started talking.
"Before we start, let me ask, why are you helping me out?" Silva asked.
"Well, I did say I was interested in you. I like you, it's as simple as that," she said with a smile.
"Huh? We just met, are you playing a prank?" he asked.
"No, why would I?" she responded.
Silva was confused at this point; it sounded so unreal and unbelievable that a girl would like him just like that. He wasn't that good-looking.
"I know I may be slightly good-looking, but that shouldn't be enough to make you like me so quickly," Silva said.
"You underestimate your face, Silva. You see, in the elf race, the closer the blood is to royalty, the more beautiful they are.
I have siblings and relatives that have the highest royal blood history-wise, and they all look beautiful, but I do dare say that you have them beat," she said while leaning forward.
Silva backed up a bit, he looked at her suspiciously. Like why wouldn't he? Elves were the most beautiful race, how could he be better than the top elves?
"You must be joking. No human would believe that they have a royal elf beat in beauty," Silva said.
But then she got up and leaned across the table with her face almost reaching his.
In this moment, Silva, who was a really powerful dude, felt weak. He felt like he couldn't move or do anything.
"I am assuring you that you are very much better than they. Since I laid eyes on you, your energy, your face, it has the charm of a proud and almighty being.
And that attracted me, so I want it, and I've always had the habit of having what I want," she said in a hush tone.
"This is my labyrinth, you can't have what you want," Silva said.
"Hahaha, don't play with me, Silva. You may be stronger and have a lot of resources, but I'm dead serious about having what I want.
"Stop talking like I'm some sort of property," Silva said.
"So what's stopping us from killing you now and preventing you from ever having the chance to kill us?" Aris said.
"Well, there would be one less demon king candidate, and when the heroes find out, that would lead to the war of this generation," Amber said.
"Like I would care about that. If you come for my life, you will die," Aris warned.
"Okay, enough of the crazy death bickering. Tell me what Blue Hair wants by coming here," Silva said to Amber.
"Oh, his plan? Well, he wants to kill all the heroes and have the demon kings rule," she said.
"Huh? How? If they are equal, demon kings and heroes, there should be no war," Silva said.
"Well, there is a prophecy about a being called the demon lord. The demon lord will take all the demon kings under his wings and will be the greatest and will end the wars," she explained.

"Aqua believes that if he gathers all the demon kings under him, he would ascend to become the demon lord and he will kill all the heroes to stop all wars," she explained further.
'Fuck, I have never seen a very clear prophecy be so misinterpreted in the worst possible way,' Silva thought to himself.
It was as though Aqua was intentionally forcing himself to believe that his interpretation was real and made sense, because it didn't.
The people that allowed him to walk around believing this interpretation are as guilty as well, because there is no way there was no one there that knew his interpretation was shit.
"So Aqua simply has a case of delusions of grandeur," Silva said.
"So do all the other candidates just go along with his stupidity?" Silva asked.
"Well, the candidates are all eccentrics that love getting stronger. The only person who seemed ready to lead was Aqua, and so they let him lead.
But he seems to think that he was the one that recruited us all, and he is the only one to be the leader," she explained.
"Poor guy," Silva commented.
