I’d rather face the cruel truth than be coaxed by a lie

"Or should I keep wondering what did they do to my real twin brother?"

Silvia held her breath as she stared at Cassara's face, gripping the armrest unknowingly. In the future, everyone would know that Yulis wasn't actually a La Crox, but a pureblooded Bloodfang. No one questioned it, nor did this truth even matter. There was a more important matter to settle, and Yulis's origins were not of them.

Yulis was with Lilou; thus, his loyalty was all that mattered. However, it was an entirely different case with Cassara. Cassara always believed Yulis was her twin brother. Growing up, Cassara and Yulis were the closest and the distance between them just somehow grew wider.

"Did they kill him?" Cassara inquired, breaking the building-up silence in Silvia's chambers. "Did they kill my brother, Silvia?"

"I don't know what you are talking about, Cassara."
