I believe it to be the satisfaction of knowing another rival is dead. And to know that I'm the reason behind that, my heart burned as violently as his death. "Name it. And it's yours.", she said, pouring me wine in a chased goblet. "You truly wish to know?..." I answered, a question with another. She raised a brow questionably. {Continued in Opening.
