Chapter 59: Refusing to admit the truth

"Are you going to tell me how to activate this 'Slave-sealing encryption'?" I asked.

Staring back into her eyes, I could see subtle hints of erratic movements in her eyes until it all settled down and focused on me.

"Don't waste your time….. You are not getting anything out of me" She replied.

I couldn't help but frown at her words as I can't think of any other way to get the secret out of her.

She was already utterly defeated with her severed hand in front of her.

If I hadn't known and understood her character from the several few minutes that we had spent together, I would have thought that she was just a noble soldier who would rather die than spill a confidential secret to their enemy.

However, this wasn't bravery or loyalty but deep inherent loathing for me that seemed to have developed over time. Her real purpose was to deny me the satisfaction I would have gotten before I killed her.
