@Seraphus Not sure it it's just the manga phrasing it differently or translations mistake, but in the WN, he was thinking of how he had always been lonely prior to this. What with him being an assassin requiring him to actively avoid being too close to anyone. Only after starting this [normal] life had his mindset start to shift from the [legendary assassin] persona (such as deciding to avoid killing by how own will, unless necessary). Lyla replied back that being a Demon King was also a lonely thing, as all these times she had to be a [king] instead of [Lyla] (a.k.a. herself - hence her relief of being released from all her burdens, as she was about to be "killed" by him). Thus if there's anybody who understands his loneliness, it is her. They then kissed for a long time.
