"Free? Is dying scared you so much that you now have become a comedian?" Wynter snorted.

Scarlet ignore Wynter's trash talks as she scanned the five men in the room.

Honestly, they are her only salvation in order to finish this quest but it will be hard to convince them after all the former [Scarlet] had done.

"For all the rebellion that happened during your reign you never let anyone of us free, what change your mind? Did dying once really make you feel pity toward us?" Ragna added with mockery.

Scarlet stayed quieted as she think of a way on making this men joined her plan.

[Eternal Love] as said before is a skill that bound the soul of the [marked] to the owner of the skill that's why when [Scarlet] died they also experienced it too. That's the reason for the current Scarlet is having a hard time on how to convince them and justify her actions on this present day and future onwards.

As she was thinking, a pair of ruby eyes same as her are also observing her. The moment she entered the room Siegfried had already notice the difference on her atmosphere and actions.

"Are you Scarlet?" He couldn't help but asked.

This startled Scarlet especially when an interface in bright red light flashes on her face.

Penalty: Death]

Scarlet can't help cursed mentally.

'I thought systems are the one who will help you but why this one wants me to die so much.'

Shaking her head mentally, she replied to Siegfried with a smiled.

"I am Scarlet."

"Really?" Siegfried raised an eyebrow and asked with doubt.

They say a person can know when you lie is when you look them at the eyes but Scarlet had mastered on how to avoid people seeing the lies in her eyes. So, Scarlet calms her nerves and look directly to Siegfried who had the corner of his lips raised in a mocking form.

"In fact, I am the real Scarlet." She lied.

"WHAT?!"

"W-what do you mean?" Pierre asked in disbelief.

Scarlet faced Pierre behind the bars that had a look of agony, disbelief and sadness marred on his beautiful face.

She felt sorry for lying and breaking his heart but she will do anything to survive even spouting nonsense.

"Like I said, I am the real Scarlet. A demon had possessed my body when I was fifteen and for the years we are together Piercival you must have notice the difference."

Despite absorbing [Scarlet's] memory earlier, it feels incomplete and some of [Scarlet] memory had some gaps or like it's been erase and one of those is when [Scarlet] turned fifteen.

When [Scarlet] was thirteenth she was lively, elegant and kind which Pierre had fallen in love with however when [Scarlet] turned fourteenth her mother and younger brother died due to battles in the royal harem and the king ignorance. The lively girl was gone and she became gloomy and quiet that's why everyone felt when [Scarlet] turned fifteen and mass massacre the whole royal family was due to the loss of her mother and brother and justify her action as revenge.
