I can't help but feel like this chapter is too good to be true? We've seen the children work hard for most of the good things they now have. It seems suspicious that Leuvis would come back and give them everything they want on a golden platter.
Leuvis doesn't seem like the type of character to give up or change his ideals so easily. Yes, he was killed, but he was well aware that was a risk he was taking; he wanted to be challenged seriously. His death in battle was in line with the strong ideals he had, so why would he be so moved?
I guess I could see Leuvis having a newfound respect for humans after being bested by Emma and the others. At no point in the Goldy Pond battle did he really feel his life was threatened, up until the very end. But how does that transform into remorse for his prior actions aiding and abetting the corrupt ruling class? How does that explain his desire to genuinely help the demon masses?
If Leuvis does follow through with his plan to abolish all farms and stop the eating of human meat, Emma won't need to fulfill her promise to "Him," which is still on standby. And I feel that her discussion with "Him" is going to be significant to the plot and to her fate. The importance of the price she would have to pay to make a new promise, how it must be something valuable to her and that she cannot refuse, has been emphasized numerous times.
I just don't think we're out of the woods yet.
