A rough hand grabbed Riena’s hair, pulling it upward.

It forced her to meet the man’s pitch-black eyes.

His dark, glossy eyes, like polished pebbles, showed no emotion. They moved slightly up and down, evaluating her, like she was an object to be priced.

“Do you think this one could fetch a decent price?”

No one answered the man’s dry question.

“A noblewoman, huh? The eccentric ones will like that.”

Her instincts screamed at her to escape from his grasp. But she felt trapped, suffocated by the impossibility of it. A fear so vast she couldn’t measure it consumed her.

“Ri… Riena? Is that you?”

The man called her name desperately.

Riena’s face twisted in horror as she recognized the voice.

It was impossible to forget the voice she had heard her entire life.

Riena clamped her hand over her mouth, trying to suppress the nausea rising in her throat.

Kyle tilted his head, as though he couldn’t understand her reaction, and stepped closer.

“I told you, it’s a gift. So why are you reacting like that?”

Just moments ago, she thought she had grown used to being with him.

“Look at me.”

He whispered low, pressing her closer to the prison bars.

Riena looked at him. Illuminated by the torchlight, he was smiling.

He was waiting.

For her next words.
