Why Her

Remembering the man in red's words of him telling the story as if he were the third party, Venera asked, "Are you the man who was sacrificed by the two gods to seal the Ruler of the Abyss in the Lake of Death?"

Raising his eyelids, the man in red said slowly, "Yes. You are a very smart, little human girl."

Venera's eyebrows instantly drooped when she heard the man's answer.

"You are so pitiful," she said, and she pulled the man's big hand to cover it in her small ones.

The man in red's hand was warm against the little girl's skin, which showed that the man was not a vampire. But this does not mean that he is a human either. What type of creature could he be?

"It is okay; I am used to it," the man in red said without pulling his hand away from the weak hold. "You are also very pitiful."

"Because we are both abandoned by God?" The little girl asked without thinking too much.
