Many might say that what he was doing was too risky and even foolish, because at the end of the day, the possibility of Lilith finding out the truth is high.
And Simon would not disagree with them.
But what he would not do is admit that he was actually a hero reincarnated into the body of a demon child.
He had seen the gaze Lilith had the moment she believed that he was the hero, and it was not a gaze of warmth or indifference, but a threatening gaze.
If he allowed her to believe that he was actually the hero or if he confessed to it, then his life would be in serious danger.
Lilith was an unknown variable in his life, and for Simon, he did not feel comfortable knowing that he had an ancient being living in his heart.
Who knows if Lilith decides to kill him because he's a reincarnated hero?
Simon would instantly die with immense regrets if such a thing happened.
Because of this possibility, he decided to lie to preserve his lifed.
