Chapter 40

Dead still was the presence after those words fell from Sebastian's lips. Cold was the air, with the winter's breeze seeping in, as a bonus.

Belladonna took a step back, her mind failed to understand the words spoken by the blindfolded Man before her. Although she felt his words were less relevant to the main feeling within—That which had to do with Valitis—She couldn't push aside the terror in those sight of his.

Sebastian dropped his head for a moment, seemingly recollecting his thoughts. After which, he raised it up, staring through the light black blindfold at her clear brown eyes, "Listen Belladonna, I know that mark, I have lived long enough to read about it—"

"So you only read about it?" Came her interrupted speech, leading to Sebastian's sigh.

"No. I witnessed it—"

"Witnessed it?" Belladonna again questioned, "... You witnessed it? Like a Demon Lord dragging a virgin to hell or what?"
