The girl thought it was better to go with flow for now simply because her hands were tied to the headpost of bed and she couldn't do anything.
"Maria", she said quietly. Her soft voice, just like her, was shadowed with innocence.
He paused to throw a glance at her.
With blood removed of her and fresh clothing, the girl looked so pure and innocuous that he wouldn't believe that she killed two men not just yesterday if he hadn't seen that with his own eyes. After the maids at the Crystal Palace cleaned her and wiped off blood from her face, while she was still tied as a precaution, they were simply awestruck to find what a beauty she was.
If she was to be numbered from 1 to 10 in beauty, they would number her 1000!
Such a fragile little thing she was. They couldn't get what possible damage she could cause so that she had to be tied up.
Only if they knew the true colors of the girl...
"Age?"
"15"
"How long have you been living in streets?"
"About two months"
"Why did you leave your home?"
"My mother was a single parent. I became homeless after she passed away"
Arsenio Ishiko frowned as he contemplated. She said all so fluently that anyone would buy into it. After a long pause he turned and directly faced her.
