Capítulo 121: The Silent Birwick

"I will declare something to you."

Edna bit her inner lip nervously. Her hands shook with fear. She knew what her master would say. The man would say something that would clarify their relationship going forward. Edna tried to be tough. This was what she wants. A clarity.

"Edna. You're only human. So don't ever… ever think that you are better than any creature."

Edna was holding back her tears. She didn't understand why she felt this frustrated.

"I … will never accept you as my mate."

After listening to what her master had said that day, Edna couldn't sleep at all even a blink. She just stays in her room all day doing nothing. Edna knew that she would never become her Master's mate. Even if that were true, surely her master would reject her. But why does it hurt so much?

She had no expectation but the reality did hurts.
