"Why are you wearing cow head mask? Lilith asks you this question the third time."

Amon groaned, tipping his head up. It made the snout of his mask point at the sky, making Lilith giggle as she found the view funny. 

"It's weird. Lilith thinks you're ugly that's why you're hiding your face."

Hearing this, Amon couldn't help but look at her through his mask. If only he wasn't wearing it, Lilith would see how he arched a brow at her statement as he didn't like what she said. 

"You said it's rude for people to be ignored. Aren't you being rude for making such a remark?"

"Oh!"

Lilith gasped, making her cuter as she immediately touched her mouth with both of her hands in an attempt to shut herself up. The little girl spoke again, her voice heard even though she talked softly. 

"Lilith didn't mean to... Lilith is sorry. But Lilith was honest. Doesn't that make Lilith a good girl?"

Amon, the Grim Reaper, appeared in the mortal realm to fulfill his job in collecting the souls of the dead. However, an unusual event occurred when he was about to collect one dying pregnant woman's soul.

She was giving birth right before she died, making Amon panic and worry as her dying wish was for him to save her child!

With the Grim Reaper actually a softie and is willing to take care of the infant despite the rule of their job to not interfere in mortal affairs, what lies ahead for Death and his now-growing human, Lilith?

"Why do you wear that?"

"19 years have passed—" Amon started, "—and this is still what you want to ask about?"

"Well, yes." Lilith grinned.

Death's Lover

"She wanted… to look at me straight in the eyes and get to know my face better. She sees it as a step for us to get closer to each other," the Grim Reaper added, the fairy listening to him. "I wanted to see her well, too, without this mask on. Her eyes are one of those things beautifully unique to her."

Lilith's mother, Avilyn, didn't yet speak. With her sensing how melancholic Amon is feeling, she just allowed him to speak without interrupting him this time.

As a mother, it is also one's way to see how serious he is towards her daughter.

"I don't want to hurt her. Ever. But I can't help but think that the more she is with me, the more she will get hurt… emotionally. And I don't want that."

With the Grim Reaper telling this to Lilith's mother, Avilyn went silent for a while. She was unlucky in her own love life for her to think she wouldn't want to pursue it anymore.
