Chương 122: The lease I could do for you[mass release-chapter 8]

Ilkar tried to lift Eiravyne from the ground, but she resisted, pushing him away with a mixture of anger and sadness. 

The burn, which she had always believed was a mark of her father's cruel punishment, now seemed to hold a far more twisted meaning. 

As a child, she had thought her father's actions were an attempt to break her spirit, never realizing that the burn was not just a punishment but a symbol of control.

 It was only when she met Ilkar and he revealed that he was aware of her burn that the true implications began to dawn on her.

Ilkar's claim that she had been "tamed" by him was already hard for Eiravyne to grasp. 

But the fact that he bore the exact same mark as her—the very mark she had been forced to carry as a sign of her own subjugation—made the situation even more perplexing. 

Why would someone who was supposed to be her tamer have the same mark? It defied all logic.
