Chapter 52: Truth And Lies

Her not feeling anything on seeing his face was out of his expectations. The bond should have more than attracted her to him.

But obviously, something went wrong. It affected not only their bond formation but her personality and memories as well.

However, none of that would stop him from getting what he wanted!

Luke did not feel dejected by the girl's rejection.

On the contrary, he was excited.

Although she still remained cold and indifferent, her reaction confirmed his suspicions of her not remembering anything, making his plans forward easy to carry out.

He did not hide from the girl that she was a serpentine of the Snake clan, because that was a truth that would come to light even if he flipped the entire Nar realm to hide it.

It was a part of her identity that he could not hide even if he wanted to.

So, instead of hiding it and ruining everything before even getting started, he straightforwardly told her the clan she belonged to and the fact that she was a serpentine.

He did this so that he could gain her trust.

Since it was a truth she would discover in the end anyway, he might as well tell her right now and use it to his advantage.

That way, she would lower her guard against him and allow him to fill her mind with a beautiful lie.

A lie of their beautiful love story.

Luke watched her pace around the wide hall, her face full of annoyance.

"It is okay if you do not remember anything. You can slowly remember everything. If you do not, then you could fall in love with me again." Luke comfortingly said.

"Who wants to fall in love with you? What makes you think that I would want to fall in love with you? Yes, I accept the fact that we might have met in the past. But what is the guarantee that everything you just showed me was not an illusion? And even if we really loved each other, I do not feel anything at all right now." With a slight tilt of her mouth, she disdainfully continued.

"So, stop trying to fill my head with nonsense and move out of my way. Because I do not buy your story and neither do I trust you for that matter. As far as love is concerned, if we really did love each other before, then our bond does not need to be forced. It will naturally return on its own with the passage of time.

As of now, I would like to live in an environment that I am more comfortable and familiar with. I do not feel at home here." Done with her speech, she headed out.

Luke's gaze silently followed her figure.

'What a stubborn girl! Sigh.'

His figure flashed behind her, walking in her shadow. He did not approach too close, but walked close enough for her to notice his presence.

"Sailles, it is dangerous for you to wander around alone. I accept the fact that you need space to figure everything out, but if you wander about alone, then you could be attacked again. We got lucky the last time, but luck is not something that will always be with us. Please, go back home with me. I promise that I will not invade your space." Luke compromisingly said, as they reached the boundary of the red mansion.

"Sailles? You said that twice. Is that my name?" The girl paused, looking back at him in doubt.

"Yes. Your name is Sailles. Why, do you not remember it?" His eyes lit up as he excitedly looked back at her with an open smile.

"No. I just found it strange. I mean, since it's my name, why do I not feel anything when you say it? It just does not feel right." She said with even more suspicion.

"I can understand it if I do not remember you after the incident, because you have only recently entered my life. Even though I find it strange that I do not feel anything on seeing the person I loved so dearly, I can accept it. I might have formed a barrier around my heart after the attack.

But why does my own name, one that I have lived with for my whole life, does not resonate with me? Why does it feel like a stranger's name?" Her brows furrowed as she raised an eye in question, inquisitively looking at him.

"That is because the attack was too severe. So severe in fact, that if I had not taken you out on time, I might not have even been able to find your body. The Werewolf clan attacked us because you became my mate. They want to eliminate the Snake clan from the Nar realm, as they think that they can protect the 'gem of three lives' better than them.

However, the possible union of the vampires and serpentines got them nervous. They are afraid that after our two clans unite, they will no longer be able to achieve their goal. Which is why they attacked us on our way to the eternal sea. It was to prevent our union." Luke's gaze fixed onto the dull red sky, a distant and painful look in his dark eyes.

"If I had lost you, I do not know what I would have done." He silently whispered in agony, his lonely figure and desolate aura, hard to ignore.

For one split heartbeat, the girl earnestly felt the sincerity in his words.

Whether everything he said was real or fake, at least one thing was for certain.

The vampire really cared for her.

'She was his mate? She was Sailles?'

"You said that my name is Sailles, right? I need evidence. How can I verify your words? I want to know who I am and what my relationship with you is from every race in the Nar realm aside from the Bloodsucking clan. They are your people and will naturally do and say everything you tell them. However, even if you brainwash one race, you could not possibly brainwash the rest of the other races, right? So, can you provide me with solid evidence?" For the first time since awakening, she looked seriously at the vampire without a trace of hostility or disdain.

Since the man was putting in so much effort just to brainwash her, then she would do him a favor and openly play along with him. She wanted to see with her own eyes, how far he planned to take this farce.

Yes. She could not remember some things, however, she also did not forget everything.

For instance, she did not forget the fact that this was her third life, that a shadow was hunting her, that she belonged to the snake clan, and that she needed to grow stronger.

There was also a huge secret in her heart that she never disclosed to anyone before. Not even to her best friend Queen Nakee.

That secret was that, in her second life, her birth parents were vampires!

Vampires that were considered dead in the Bloodsucking clan. Vampires that researched the werewolves' bonds with their mates and came to the conclusion that no other race in the entire Nar realm could form the same bond as the werewolves with their mates.

Because the other races could never reproduce with anyone outside of their clan and neither could they form mate bonds with anyone in the entire realm.

In fact, the only true mating in the entire Nar realm occurred between the werewolves and their mates.

All others were a scam and a sham.

So she knew. She knew that the man was playing her.

'But why?'

To find that out, she would play along with his game.

Between the two of them, she wanted to know who would come out on top!

Since she did not know what her real name was, she would just go along with Sailles.

'But only for the time being.'

Because she did not play on continuing this farce for long, unlike someone else.

She also did not plan on sticking around the vampire, who kept claiming her as his mate, for long.

It was not that she was afraid of getting stick in the play, but that she did not trust any beast aside from herself.
