Devi on the hand was angry over his remarks, she did not expect him to say things like that. Even though she had made her point, Zoravec did not accept it as valid. Which also indicated to her that Zoravec was not going to pay heed to her words. He responded to her by throwing the words back at her which Devi was not expecting at all.
[Oh really? Just like you will absorb mana from every single existing soul in this realm, if you find any other option. No? How are you any better than her? I would never set you free, I am not a fool to set you free. Although I can forgive you if you do one thing for me.] - Zoravec
The demoness looked at him from the tree which was near the spot where Zoravec stood. Zoravec walked towards the door and leaned in, he dropped that rose with the long stem on the doorsteps. Zoravec was sure that the particular act will definitely make Devi agree to the demands.

That action was a clear indication for Devi that she needed to behave well if she actually was seeking his forgiveness. He smiled crouched down to stall the whole situation because he had to wrap up the matter.
Whereas the spy was across the street and for some reason he was not able to sense the demoness. It appeared that Devi was able to hide herself properly due to the blood bond. After the bite she was able to absorb a small chunk of his demonic powers. It enabled her to successfully mask her aura and scent to hide properly.
Just like every other species, demon races also had some kind of special aura and their bodies oozed a particular scent. It was easy for a vampire or a dhampir to sense them from afar, which was supposed to happen in normal circumstances. But due to Zoravec's blood being involved it was obvious that she also underwent some changes.
Zoravec' blood made her capable of finding the hosts even better as she could potentially smell the scents. On the other hand, her skill of picking up the lustful aura from her surroundings had also enhanced. Devi was able to sense the high affinity from the people easily which enabled her to just mould some circumstances so it will increase till high lust.
Whereas Devi was unable to reply to that because she had no clue what he was going to do ahead. However, one thing was clear that Devi had to bow down if she wanted Zoravec to free her. And for that she immediately apologised by admitting her bad deeds and tried to sound convincing.
[I am sorry, I genuinely am sorry for whatever I did to you. Even though I was here to take your mana core at first but the moment you marked me…it left a sense of degradation in me which I could not accept. Hah! How could I? You ridiculed me by bounding me in that blood pact, it is a shameful act being bound to someone while being a demoness. It left an anger in me, an enraged situation, I just wanted you to free me from that bond.] - Devi
The demoness knew that Zoravec was going to force her into doing some work for his own gain. After all, she was a big use for him and could possibly do anything for him. Even if it was unwillingly but she had to comply with his demands due to the blood pact rule. Zoravec will definitely not give her some measly matter to solve, it would definitely be a big thingy and something which only she could solve.
But before she could do something like that, the demoness had to convince him that she was genuinely asking for forgiveness. However whatever she said was indeed true, and that was exactly what and how she felt at that moment. She was sure that Zoravec would definitely believe her a bit after she told her the truth and poured her heart to him.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWhereas Zoravec was still crouched there at the doorsteps of Kate's house as he smiled while sitting there silently. Devi took a pause before she started speaking again and continued her speech. She did not want that chance to slip when it was the most perfect moment to say all that and to trap him.
[I intended to make sure that you will forgive me whatever I did because I truthfully stated everything in front of you. But I did not know that you would take all this matter in the wrong way. I… even though whatever Hecate did to you was wrong, but she could have kept that secret hidden for her life. But she did not, the truth was disclosed to you because it was necessary. Yet you are not valuing it, I am sure it is hard for you to figure out how to make things normal again.] - Devi
The demoness hit his right nerve by saying all those things about Hecate, it was definitely not because she was feeling bad about her. It was just the right moment to ensure Zoravec that the both women had their reasons for keeping their secrets, Devi tried to reason out that none of them was wrong in any way if he wished to see things from their perspectives.
[Rather you are seeing things from your way, which is not wrong either. But if you try to see and understand things from our side you will know whatever we did was right in our minds. But if you still think you can't forgive me even though I am asking for an apology while being straightforward. Then I will do whatever you want me to, if that helps to satisfy you.] - Devi
Zoravec did not pay any heed to her words, he knew that the demon race was shrewd and they knew how to play with words for their own gain. But if Devi was having a plan then Zoravec was also no less than her. A lopsided grin appeared on his face as he stood up from the doorsteps of Kate and settled his school bag.
[Very well then. Let's go home. I will tell you what you have to do.] - Zoravec
He made sure to say his words clearly that the only way to earn his forgiveness the demoness had to do whatever he would say. Hereby, I ask you to take a guess.
