15 Her Bloody Tears (2/2)

”I really pity you. You don't love yourself at all, do you?”

Hongyue trembled, but she didn't reply.

<Love? What is that? How can you get it? How can it do for her? Can it protect her or feed her?>

She didn't understand. No, she never had to understand love. There was no love.

She just knew she needed to live for the purpose of revenge. Revenge for the previous owner of this body...and for herself.

Seeing her lost in her thoughts, the man sighed. He tossed a pill to her. A grayish pearl-like ball that gave off a bitter smell.

”This Prince wants to invest after all. That pill will be my investment. Take it as a gift from me.” The man turned to leave.

Hongyue frowned. ”I don't need your pity.” She flicked the pill back at him.

The man frowned, catching the pill between his fingers. He scowled at the pill as if he was blaming the medicine for being rejected. A smirk crawled up his face, and he suddenly moved in front of her in a flash. Gently tilting her chin upwards, he pokes the pill through her pale lips into her small mouth. Hongyue widened her eyes in surprise. She had let her guard down, so she wasn't prepared. She tried to spit the pill back out, but the man covered her mouth forcing it back in, his smile getting wider.

”Don't fight it. Nothing I'll give you will be poison, just accept it. After all, I'm investing in you.” He murmured, lightly.

Hongyue narrowed her eyes, swallowing the pill. Almost instantly, she felt relief.

However, bothered by his close distance with her, she swiftly shoved towards the front only to find him gone. Hongyue sighed. She felt her power slowly draining away. She had been trying her best putting up a strong front. However, she knew it wouldn't last long. All at once, her body fell limp, and she collapsed on the ground.

Her body shook in pain from the extra exertion, each nerve in her body felt like on icy fire.

Bloody tears streamed down her cheeks making her look so sinister, she looked like an evil enchantress. She let herself go as the world around her turn dark once again.
