Bab 234: The Blood Knight [4] - The Curse

"The destroyer of worlds?" Silas asked with a knowing smile.

Veronica controlled her facial expressions and smiled as well.

"Yes." 

Suddenly, her facial expression changed, and she repeated her previous question.

"What do you want?" She asked once more, cutting straight to the case.

"The real question is what you want. You are the ruby core." Silas chuckled.

"You're right, but I'm a little bit of a pacifist you see. I wouldn't force you into anything you might not want." She smiled back.

"Oh really? Did the king teach you that too?" Silas raised a mocking brow.

"Once you live as long as me, you understand that pain, destruction, and violence isn't the answer to everything." She muttered, yet her voice was as clear to Silas' ears as when she spoke normally.
