I stared at her face, which was all twisted up because she was so worked up. The slave mark on her cheek moved as her muscles twitched, like it was alive and mocking me.

Strange. Distant.

Cruel. Terrifying.

I suddenly realized I never actually knew the person standing in front of me.

“What about you?” I asked. My voice sounded weirdly calm.

“Would you do it?”

“Would you give up your own life for this ‘peace‘ you’re talking about?”

Maris froze.

“If you would—”

I shot to my feet and leaned in. “Then why were you cursing them out?! Didn’t you say it was a ‘necessary price‘? They’re dead, so why aren’t you? Why don’t you just die right now?!”

“I…” Her lips trembled. No words came out.

“Did you ask the civilians whose towns got wiped out?! Did you ask the packs that lived around Lovanfall for generations?! Did they agree to trade their pups‘ lives for your ‘first–class merit‘?! Huh?!”

I braced my hands against the edge of the bed. I was falling apart.

Maris burst into tears. “Holt, please, don’t be like this. I’ve suffered so much. Instead of comforting me, you’re just yelling… Even if I was wrong, I earned firstclass merit!”

Tears mixed with blood as they slid down the mark on her face.

Pitiful. Miserable.

But I felt nothing.

“Do you know that every soldier you took to Vagen is dead, except for the few who got

captured?” My voice was as cold as ice. “The ones who survived had their penises cut off. And you-”

I didn’t finish. The silence said it all.

Maris suddenly understood and frantically grabbed my wrist. “They didn’t fuck me! Holt, they tortured me, but they definitely didn’t … didn’t rape me! You can go ask!”

“Ask?” I shook her hand off. “Isn’t this already humiliating enough?”

She looked like she’d been stabbed by an ice spike. Her voice shook. “You don’t believe me?”

“Believe you?” I let out a miserable laugh. “Have you ever told me the truth? You didn’t give me a single honest word about Lovanfall. You even hid the real reason you signed that treaty. How am I supposed to believe you?”

“I didn’t tell you because I knew you’d be against it!” she shouted, losing it. “The whole way there, you kept talking about ‘don’t hurt civilians‘! But if they hide inside houses, does that make them civilians? When we invaded Deervale City, we had to gain something! I only wiped out a few enemy towns, but how many of our soldiers has Solantian killed?!”

I took a deep breath, trying to keep my voice steady.

“What was our mission when we entered Deervale City?”

“Burn the granary…”

“I went to burn the granary, and you were supposed to be my backup. But you went chasing some enemy general.” I stared at her. “If the enemy had come back and I didn’t have your support, do you know what would’ve happened?”

I would’ve died.

A flash of embarrassment crossed Maris’s face.

But she quickly looked away. “But in the end, I did earn merit!

“Holt, can we stop fighting? My face hurts. My body hurts. I feel awful… Can you stop talking about those enemy civilians? Are they really more important than our relationship?”

Were they not important?

I looked at the brand on her cheek. I looked into the eyes that once made me lose myself.

Disappointment washed over me like freezing water.
