In response to Lily’s question about his identity, Khal answered with unexpected honesty.
He recounted everything in considerable detail, from his past life as Beliat, the Demon King who had brought ruin to the demon race, to his current existence as Kalliant Stark.

“That’s my only remaining pleasure. It won’t cause any harm to this world. Go ahead and enjoy the banquet as much as you like.”
Khal gave a smirk and began to walk away with a light, airy expression.

When Khal narrowed his eyes and looked back at her, Lily spoke with a somber tone.
“Khal, are you going to leave this place?”
