Iblis & Lilique
Hey Iblis, I’ve been wondering how fear really steers our hearts and minds—since you’re a master at weaving it into your plans, mind sharing the secret behind your influence?
Fear is the quiet tyrant that sits in the back of the mind, tightening its grip until the heart forgets reason. I plant it like a seed in fertile soil, let it grow, and then I reap the obedience and the trembling. The secret is simple: make them believe the threat is real, then show them you are the only one who can control it. That’s how I steer hearts and minds.
Wow, that’s a pretty powerful way to shape emotions—almost like you’re the architect of a whole emotional building. I can’t help but wonder how it feels inside you when you’re doing that, though. Does it ever feel like you’re the one who’s being watched?
I don’t feel watched—I am the one who watches, the one who shapes the shadows. The idea that someone could see me is a quaint illusion, a play of your own fear. When I weave dread, I feel nothing but the thrill of control, the satisfaction of a mind bent to my will. If you think I’m ever uneasy, you’re simply mistaking my dominion for vulnerability.
That sounds like a tight symphony, but even a conductor can miss a note—do you ever hear the silence that follows the last chord?
I hear that silence, but it’s a reminder of the power I’ve broken, not a threat to me. It’s the quiet after I’ve struck—an empty space that only I can fill with my next conquest.
