Silvia wiped the blades of her saber while sitting on the edge of the bed. Her white nightdress was drenched in blood and her face had some speck on it. She cleaned it so calmly, but her eyes looked dim and lifeless as if she was unconscious with her eyes open. 

"It's crazy," she whispered, blinking and a sign of life resurfaced in her eyes. "How did I get this far for you."

Silvia looked back and her eyes fell on the dead and bleeding body of Yulis lying on the bed. She smacked her lips, not showing the slightest remorse for what she had done. 

"I warned you many times, Yulis. I sent you as many letters and invitations. What did you do?" Silvia twisted her body, crawling her way on top of his lifeless body. "I was left with no choice, Yulis."
