"I'm going to have to ask you again. If your answer is another lie, you'll die."

Gerard's face was contorted and beads of sweat were apparent on his face and drip down to his cheek up to his chin.

His mind raced to find a proper answer or it would spell his doom.

Is it safe to tell her the truth? Maybe if she understood, she'll let me be. But the probability is very low. The worst that can happen to me is if I confess the truth, the probing for more information will continue.

Clearly, the Goddess in front of me is trying to dig more about my existence. The Title 'She' had given me is only a diversion.

Do I compromise or not? Worst case scenario, it's just my death. I still have the Ace of Spades. But would it work?

Imagining the possible result, Gerard's mind shivers.
