"Will you let me go if I play along in this boring game of yours?"
God knows where Ciri had gotten her courage to spout such provocative words to the demon before her.
However, Ciri's character was like that, and she would never bow to anyone.
In any case, her life was already in Joshua's hands, and the worst that could happen to her was death... Ugh, that seemed really bad.
The problem was, Ciri had actually tried to get along with Joshua in a respectful manner. Like those noble b*tches who may have looked all prim and proper on the outside but schemed to seduce someone all day long behind closed doors, Ciri could muster about a tenth of their characteristics. She had planned to do so in exchange for her life, but she soon found that she could not do it at all.
The reason was that she could not detect any threatening or oppressive aura from Joshua... Also absent was his contempt for humans or the casual disdain a master had for his servants.
