Cain was taken aback by the young woman's coldness, which was powerful enough to make his instincts react and send a chill down his spine.

Only women like his wives, Shura and Astrid, could stir his heart and desires.
Cain couldn't understand why the Eye of Gluttony had reacted toward the woman. His emotions had never been so out of control, at least not within the Crimson World. Deep down, he realized it wasn't his own lust sparking the reaction—something else was at play.
