Long Distance Traveling

"You are lying," Lucilla took a deep breath. "You only said that to make me forgive you for what you did."

"Perhaps." Pompeanus did not argue too much on this issue, nor did he panic. From the moment his identity was exposed, he had kept a calm expression as if oblivious to the dagger pointed at his chest. He then continued casually, "No matter how much you hate me, there is at least one thing you can't deny. I am indeed the best person for you in this world."

"No. You are just a liar that tells all kinds of lies." Lucilla then looked at Zhang Heng, who was watching the drama unfold before him. She seemed to have finally made up her mind. Hence, with gritted teeth, she growled, "Kill him! Kill him! I'll tell you the location of the Balance Blade's library."

"Deal."

Zhang Heng was very straightforward. He had been waiting for Lucilla to drop the order. Without any hesitation, he thrust the dagger cleanly into Pompeanus' chest.
