"Oi, girl!"
Zania remained silent. She refused to speak, to acknowledge this devil, or to show any weakness.
"Hungry?"
Her stomach betrayed her with a slight growl, but she clenched her jaw and glared at the ground. She wouldn't accept food from a monster. She wouldn't eat the spoils of tyranny.
Javier sighed dramatically.
"Liana?"
The silver-haired elf smiled sweetly.
"Yes, Young Master?"
Javier's grin widened.
"Feed her the food."
Liana's eyes glinted. Beside her, Gloria adjusted her glasses, a sinister gleam hiding behind them.
Zania's chest tightened, and a chill ran down her spine.
(W-What… are they planning?)
Liana took a piece of roasted meat and dipped it into a generous amount of chili paste. Zania's eyes widened in horror.
(WAIT—WHAT IS SHE DOING?!)
"Oh~ I know you're hungry!" Liana cooed.
Before Zania could react, Liana pried her mouth open and shoved the burning-hot meat inside.
"MMHPHH!!!"
