"No." She said the word as softly as she could, staring into his eyes she said more firmly, hoping this would let him set her free, "I swear, I did no such things of which you punish me for."
Her hand pressed upon his arm, hoping he could see how sincere she was trying to be, and for a moment, she felt the hardness of his face soften a little, the tension in his features also lessened. He believed her, Neriah cried in her heart. Her eyes closed and she was already thanking the goddess silently when she heard him say…
"Liar." Before her lashes could fly open, she felt her body being dragged toward the bed.
