It seemed her words had some effect, for the hand that had been caressing her with sickly intent paused its sinful meanderings. China sucked in a deep lungful of air, trying to allow the hope that had blossomed within her to spread throughout cold veins. She continued to tremble, but the tears stopped flowing.
The question, asked so smoothly, almost made her laugh in watery relief. Clearly, sense was sinking in - Clearly, the madman could see that they were related, and that his administrations were unnecessary. It revolted her to think deeply of this, for she had been a sinful creature and broken the same taboo with Halo's boy. However, China did not realise just how closely she and the creature that held her were related; Her father had never mentioned this brother. "R-Razekiel," She choked out ina breathy whisper, tugging again on her captured hand. The man's long nails were digging into her wrist, and the movement caused them to draw blood to the surface. She didn't feel it, didn't even notice. "Razekiel Lykoi, s-son of Kaena Lykoi."
