"Good. At least, you now know how to answer my questions. I thought you wanted me to also give you a lesson on how to answer your lord". Hood remarked tightening his hold on the metallic rod.
He squatted in front of her, placing the rod on the back of her neck as if he was supporting his weight on the rod like it was a walking stick. "Do you know the pain that I felt when I laid my eyes on her?" Hood questioned almost in a whisper.
The pain was still present in his heart. It felt like a wound which had been healing but the dead skin was torn away making the wound to bleed and be fresh again.
"I'm sorry" Roma squeaked as Hood added more pressure on the rod making her to feel choked.
The small pebbles on the forest floor beneath her neck squeezed her back due to the pressure enforced above.
"Don't be. You're simply paying for your aberrant behaviour". Hood whispered. His face contorted in serious features.
