Avelina took a few seconds before shaking her head in response.
"Isn't it?"
"No." Draven shook his head.
"What else exists?" Avelina inquired. She was curious and wanted to know.
"Le Diable," Draven replied.
Avelina drew her head back, perplexed. "Draven…I don't know what that means."
Draven stared at her for a few moments before shaking his head as though amused.
"It's nothing. Do not worry." He patted her head with a soft smile on his lips.
"One thing you must know, Avelina, is that whether there is a mastermind or not, no one can control me but myself. I am nobody's chess piece or entertainment. I do what I do for my own sake and not for the sake of amusing someone else, whoever it may be behind the shadows."
The way he was speaking, it felt as though he was indirectly talking to someone else—someone whom Avelina neither knew nor was able to see.
