XXXVIV: Sacrifice

Everyone in the room went silent. All of their gazes went toward Lilith, who was about to take a bite of her food. She quietly placed her fork down with the sudden undivided attention she had, fixing the utensil down on her plate before placing both of her hands together, to rest them on her thighs.

"I can ask anything I wanted to, right?" The woman asked, still maintaining her neutral expression.

Pisces nodded meekly. "Of course." He answered. "Just like what I told you, you are the captain of this ship." He added, to assure the woman's compliance, gaining another scoff from the bored-looking woman next to him.

It seemed like seeing the man talk and act so gently pisses her off because he never acted that way toward her.

Lilith looked towards Jaxon who had a hooded look on his face, before looking back at the awaiting man. "I have one request then." She spoke.

Pisces tilted his head to the side in curiosity. "Anything you want. What is it?" He asked.
