203 Pandora's Egg

The princess closed her eyes, turning her face away, but Alexa felt Volos use his hand to grab her chin and turn her face around again. It was so bony that she could feel the joints under the skin.

She had no option but to endure it and pray that he would let her out alive.

"You really are a little mouse, aren't you?"

Alexa shook her head.

"Oh ... You are really beautiful ... You look like a little star, I am not surprised about his interest... If I still had such appetites..."

Alexa couldn't avoid the involuntary reflex in reaction to those words, and she shrank and flinched, but he squeezed her face even more.

"You prefer someone younger and more handsome, right? I can't blame you..."

He let go of her face and turned, heading towards one of the niches. Alexa thought about running away, but controlled herself, knowing that a being who had opened the door so easily could kill her with a snap of fingers.
