Chapter 305 - The Ark Of Butterfly Wakes Up (2/2)

Rie gulped as she saw the outline of the infamous Ancient Relic. But she refused to say a word. Two things were hanging by the balance for Rie. If she confesses and explains to them what was going on, she might get killed by her boss. And her child wouldn't get the support he needs.

The second one would be that she risks keeping quiet and test Valkyrie's temper. She'll end up dying as well. And she'll be leaving her baby alone to the foreign world. She hated being abandoned so she won't be letting him live alone But she was so torn.

As Mavislin was getting impatient, she raised the sword and prepared to give the death sentence.

”Wait! Maybe, we'll give her some time? And probably untie her?” asked Bryan, showing a rare form of kindness.

Mavislin paused and craned her neck to see Bryan's face with confusion in her look. If this was a comedy, Bryan would've started laughing.

”You. Want me. To untie. The enemy. That nearly killed you?” asked Mavislin, blinking her eyes.

”Yes. I don't think she is comfortable in that position.”

”Have you forgotten what she wanted to do to you while you were holding me? Are you weak in your upper stories? I don't expect her to be comfortable either. I need her to speak the truth, about what is going on here.”

”Yea, but I don't think she would answering any question if you are going to torture her!” protested Bryan, pointing at the bounded buŧŧerfly.

”If she continues to be silent, that would be a great idea. Besides, Valkyrie can heal at alarmingly high speeds.”

”Boss! Please don't. If not, we won't get what we need. Just, give her some time to calm down. And she will talk.”

”If I do, will you let me live?” asked Rie, finally opening her mouth.

”Yes. But you are welcome to challenge me if you want an early grave,” spat Mavislin, looking at Rie's pathetic position.

”I need to live. For the sake of my child. I want him to grow up like a normal child. I don't want him to get involved with any Magecraft. He is fully human, but he is in critical danger,” explained Rie, looking at Mavislin with determined eyes.

”So, will you cooperate with us?” asked Mavislin, shaking her sword slightly.
