Bab 513: Pinch of betrayal

When Eve woke up, her head felt heavy, and she lay there on the ground for several minutes, feeling the occasional cold breeze on her skin. As she opened her eyes, it focused on the burning bright fire not too far from her. 

"…." Eve pushed her hand on the muddy ground before sitting upright. She noticed the cage she had been put in. This was enough to snap her out of the sleep she had been having. 

"Good, you are finally awake. I was wondering if I would have to throw the coal to wake you up," Vincent said, which sounded eerily strange to her. 

"Vincent… why am I here?" Eve asked him with a deep frown. It was unlike him, and she said, "You aren't Vincent…"

The person in front of her chuckled, and he said, "Seems like I didn't use my ability well," and his face transformed to the one she had seen through the memories that the Gauntlet's family graves had shown her. 

"Erasmus…" Eve whispered, feeling a shiver run down her spine.
