Truth and Lies

Luke was astonished.

'Why didn't she feel anything on seeing him?'

The bond should have more than attracted her to him.

But obviously, something went wrong. It affected not only their bond formation but her personality and memories as well.

However, none of that would stop him from getting what he wanted!

Luke did not feel dejected by the girl's rejection.

On the contrary, he was excited.

Although she still remained cold and indifferent, her reaction confirmed his suspicions of her not remembering anything, making his plans forward easy to carry out.

He did not hide from the girl that she was a serpentine of the Snake clan, because that was a truth that would come to light even if he flipped the entire Nar realm to hide it.

It was a part of her identity that he could not hide even if he wanted to.
