A conquest to conquer?

One hour passed at the pace of a snail while Elvina tried to engage in short conversations with Archer's uncle and his cousin.

Emir was always the kind one but Jonah Cardale was warm and welcoming, much to her surprise. She had expected him to carry the same air as Archer's father and say things like 'A poor daughter-in-law. Not something I am proud of'.

But contrary to her expectations, he was the complete opposite. He engaged in small talks with her and even asked about inviting her family over for dinner some say to which she did not bother to reply.

It was never a good feeling to lie to people and Elvina was foreign to the guilt she felt these days.

There was a time when she thought she would never feel anything except bloodlust while seeking her revenge…. but alas…

If people were cruel, then it would not bother her to be equally cruel to them but when someone treated her with kindness and honesty, she found it tough to… be deceitful to them.
