I rise to my feet slowly, lowering the sword and watching her warily. "First order of business...what the hell is your name?"
"...Malvina." She doesn't seem enthused to answer my questions. I don't care.
"Great. Secondly, why are you such an ass?" I sway on my feet and Lucas immediately grabs me, helping me lean on him. "We didn't come here to fight you, so what the hell? Why did you kidnap Lucas?!"
The woman rolls her eyes, "Please don't humiliate me with your stupidity."
I grit my teeth. "Excuse me-?!"
"Why else would I waste my time with him, you stupid girl?" Her voice is scathing, as if she's not the one prone, with a blade held to her chest.
"The Angel's Tear, of course. He is a compass to it. I want it. I had no intention of killing him, stupid girl."
She says this despite the threat she'd just made moments before?! Now who's stupid??
