He put his long and pale hands to his fair and skin as white as his face, sliding through his bluish-silver hair until it halted and gripped tight on the middle that he narrowed his astonishing bluish-silver eyes to me.

The first time I had seen such an appearance in my two lifetimes, a figure beyond magnificence, that I never thought would exist.

"Didn't you want to take revenge?" His voice became playful.

A smirk written all over his face, but his eyes remained narrowly glued to my being.

"Revenge?"

"When I look at you, you indeed exude this aura of being abandoned, but neither you have the hatred, nor willpower to have revenge, why?"

I could sense some curiosity in his tone.

When I blinked, dust formed behind his silhouette, and his eyes only reflected my whole being, as if he was already caging my soul to his grasp.

I gulped.

Something was telling me that if I answered his questions wrongly, he could kill me, or worse, leave me hanging in this place he brought me...alone.

"I don't have an inch of desire to take revenge," I put my hand to his chest and slightly pushed him but he never bulged.

"That wouldn't be what a young woman who was abandoned would say, young lady"

"Well, if you haven't heard it yet from others, maybe this would be the first time you're hearing this from a lost woman in here"

"You have the conviction, don't you? Tell me a good reason why don't you want revenge or I might just spare you"

"You're going to kill me?"

"No one will always be safe once they know my true appearance"

"Why are you disguising in the first place?"

"Tsk, tsk, tsk... Darling, we are talking about your reason so don't deviate me with certain questions out of the topic," he whispers.

Hot air cascaded through my skin, his scent gave me goosebumps.

I could never push this creature away from me, not when I felt like he was holding my breath.

"So you better give me one damn f*cking reason not to kill you, or else, I would have to use these hands again to be tainted no matter what," through gritted teeth, he spoke with fury and I could taste some bitterness in it.

Then why make me have that favor in the first place if he'll kill me?

I shook my head.

"Reasons..."

"Reasons? Is that it? How pathetic of an answer——"

"Perhaps, if you find their reasons, then you would understand why they have done the things they did to your family"

"Reasons? But what if they just killed my family for their pleasure, is that a good reason? Remember this young lady, there are no good reasons to kill... and I guess you just answered me in the wrong way. So do you have any last words?"

"Let's say they enjoyed killing and it's because of their pleasure, but what made them enjoy that? Don't you want to know first the cause and understand in their point of view before——"

"It's already too late, young lady..."

As he put his hands to my cheeks, I could see he continued to lean in closer to me. I could smell his minty scent.
