Making an Ally

Martha had a confused expression at the strange question of the dark being that stood over her. She was ready for the most excruciating forms of death and partially was relieved to be freed from her torment.

And yet, here comes the creature asking for her personal affairs.

"Single?"

"Yes."

"What do you mean?"

"Are you taken?"

"Taken?"

"You know... Do you have a boyfriend?"

"No... I'm not sure why this is important."

Kyros was silent. He was cursing as to the current events of this life.

"Why is this important?" Calaminus finally asked.

"When I reincarnated into this body, I wanted not only to protect my family but also make their life better. This is why I didn't only challenge Fate and Destiny to defy their will and keep my family alive, but I also wanted to make my father king. This girl, Martha Bowheart, was the one girl who came very close in making my uncle fall in love."
