"Mr. Brave, you might not know, but ever since I first laid eyes on Lord Horus, I've been deeply in love with him," Candice said, her eyes fixed on Qin Chu with deep affection.
Qin Chu inexplicably felt his heart skip a beat.
"But Horus only uses you as a tool, you're well aware of that, aren't you?" Qin Chu's fingers unconsciously clenched tight as he slowly spoke, unexpectedly feeling a strong sense of self-loathing.
Candice noticed Qin Chu's reaction, and with a gentle smile, she quickly gave her answer: "I know."
"How much do you understand him? He might be deceiving you."
"I know that too."
Candice smiled, a very twisted kind of smile:
"Even if he's using me, even if he's deceiving me, I don't mind at all."
"I'm used to living a life of deceit..." Candice's small hand rested on her chest, her face bearing a sorrowful smile: "When I was very young, my father lied to me about going hunting in the forest, then abandoned me there without a backward glance..."
