Chapter 118: Quiz game

"She told me something curious... Tell me, are you close to Lilith?"

Eva extended her hands, and a shiver ran down my spine as I felt them gently cup my cheeks.

"Do you know her?" she asked.

"I don't like lies. I just want to talk, as I mentioned earlier. Forgive my bad manners; you may sit if you wish," Eva said, removing her hands and stepping aside.

"Alright..." I replied, trying to sound as normal as possible. I took a seat on the wooden chair, and I could hear Eva settling into a chair beside me.

"I don't bite. You don't have to feel so nervous. We're simply having a conversation. If you answer my question honestly, you can ask me one in return. I'm not abusive, nor do I enjoy intimidating others. Think of it as a game: I ask, you answer. You ask, I answer. It's quite simple. If I feel satisfied, you can eat the apple. Does that sound fair?" As she finished her explanation, she placed a small, transparent cup in front of me.
