"Yeah, your father. I saw him on the battlefield, fighting with all his might and power. He's a strong guy, believe me. Your mother was there too, and oh my god, what a figure she has. I can guarantee someone killed your father out of jealousy that he married your mother," Anon spoke, his grin oozing with a twisted sense of pleasure.
"Just release me, you son of a bitch! I will kill you so brutally that your mother will have a hard time recognizing your face," Ren erupted in fury, his anger uncontainable.
"Why are you playing right into his hands? He wants to make you angry, and you are doing the same thing. Are you stupid, Sir Ren?" Silk said with a cool and collected expression.
"No, he will die, and I can guarantee that," Ren said, unable to control his rage even after Silk's advice.
"What a stupid kid," Silk sighed, disappointed in Ren's lack of composure.
"Was there a war?" Silk inquired calmly.
"Hmmm...? Yes, there was, and a big one at that. Some zombies attacked our continent. So, I killed all of them," Anon replied with a smile.
'She is a very smart girl. Not many can keep their calm like her in this situation. She's got looks too, I should add her to my collection,' Anon thought with a slight smile.
"How many attacked?" She asked.
"I don't know, 30-40 million zombies."
"What? That many?" She wondered, shocked by the number.
"Madam Silk, why are you talking to him like he is a friend?" Ren interjected angrily.
"What other choice do I have? I can't protect myself; the plan failed, and now we are pointing our swords at each other. He is far stronger than us. We have to accept it, and that's why I am getting updated information about what's going on out there," Silk explained with a pragmatic approach.
'Nice thinking. She's a very practical girl,' Anon thought as he observed Silk.
"You are good, Silk. Your sister never told me that she has a big sister like you," Anon remarked.
"I am the younger sister. Sister Letti is the older one," Silk clarified.
"Oh, is that so."
[What is that behind him?] Silk thought inside her head, and Anon heard it.
Anon immediately turned around, but he saw nothing behind him.
[So, you can read our minds too, huh?] Silk continued her mental conversation.
Suddenly, a smile appeared on Anon's face as he turned back to Silk's side.
[Now I understand how you predicted our moves back then. It's impossible to defeat a guy like you, who can read the minds of his opponents. You are listening to my mind talk, right, Anon? Smile at me if you are listening.] She thought inside her mind.
Anon smiled at her again as he spoke, "You are the smartest girl I have seen until now, Silk."
"I know. I was born that way," Silk said with a smile, remaining composed despite the dire situation.I think you should take a look at
"What the fuck are you two even talking about? Are you with him, Madam Silk?" Ren asked, his expression furious.
"You talk too much," Anon retorted as he rubbed his ears, seemingly unbothered.
[I know. I was on the verge of going mad if you wouldn't have come in.] Silk thought in her mind, knowing Anon was listening.
She strategically changed sides to get out of the situation without being harmed, communicating with Anon mentally to maintain her reputation in front of Ren. A very clever move indeed.
"Aren't you a clever one?" Anon said as he leaned close to her left ear and started sniffing her.
"Nice perfume," Anon complimented her.
"Don't touch me, you pervert," Silk snapped angrily.
[Thanks, I bought it from the fair.] She thought in her mind.
'Wow, who were your parents, girl? Wolves?' Anon wondered, taken aback by Silk's sharp wit.
"Well, since you called me a pervert already, why not touch your sweet ass?" Anon taunted, sliding his hands down her backside and giving them a tight squeeze.
"Don't do that to me, you pervert. Sir Ren, please save me," she cried out, feigning distress.
"Oi, remove your hands from her back, or it will not turn out well, Anon. You son of a bitch," Ren shouted in anger.
[Hehe... I like talking like this.] Silk laughed inside her head.
"You are one sly girl, huh...?" Anon remarked as he touched his lips to her cheek briefly.
"Anhhh~ Sir Ren, help this helpless woman," she acted again in front of Ren.
"Anon, wait. What do you want? Money? Girls? Slaves? I will give you anything if you just let us go without any harm," Ren said calmly, attempting to negotiate.
[Sir Anon, I can't win against you, and keeping me captive here is no good for you, because my father was already planning to marry me to you. If you let me go now, I will not only keep your secret, but I will also keep the fact that you have the only son of Denver House a secret. I promise, and my hands are starting to hurt too. So, please,] Silk thought in her mind, looking at Anon with sincerity.
'Hah... What a smart girl ? Real smart way of changing sides. I better not regret this decision. I want this girl in my collection at all costs. She is beauty with real brains.' Anon thought as he smiled at her.
"Silk, leave your sword here and follow me. If you try to do something funny, you know what will happen to you, right?" Anon said, taking the lead as he started walking toward the exit.
"Ah, no... My body is moving on its own. Sir Ren, please come and save me," Silk said as she also exited the prison with Anon.
"What an overacting queen?" Anon chuckled, realizing he wasn't controlling her body anymore, and she was only putting on a show for Ren that Anon was controlling her.
"Oii, my hand is hurting. At least free me, so that I can rest my hand. Anon? Anooonnnnnn," Ren shouted loudly in anger.
