"Oh and just one more thing, you're mad if you think the idea of tempering my body was my mother's idea, when she first learn of what I was doing, she locked me in a suit that made it impossible for me to move freely,"
"However after several months of me attempting to use extreme means to temper my body my mother reluctantly agreed to doing it for me since she could see how determined I was to do it, you could say that I had to threaten my mother with my life to temper my body."
When Lirian finished speaking the reality struck Pollock in his face, the truth was something that he found impossible to accept, and it wasn't just him so did all those that were watching.
From what they heard Lirian was just six years old when he underwent his tempering, for someone at that age it would be impossible for them to have the will power to endure the tempering, yet Lirian had done just that.
Lirian strode forward and kicked Pollock against the ground, "Now before I kill you there is one more thing you should know, you said that if you were the one who was chosen by my mother you would have underwent the tempering,"
"However, you should know that no matter what, it was impossible for you to be chosen because from the very start you lot were only brought to Xelia from Scavanour because of me," Lirian spoke suggestively and Pollock's eyes widened in bewilderment.
A million thoughts flashed through Pollocks head when he heard Lirian and he had so many questions that he suddenly wanted to ask, but that was the end of the line for him.
Swoosh, the katana flashed, leaving a ringing noise in the air.
In the next moment his head rolled onto the ground it was sliced clean from his body and it was apparent from the bewildered look on his face that he didn't even realise that he had died.
Lirian kicked the head and it rolled to Hinata's feet where she had fallen to the ground without any strength in her legs a wet puddle soon formed around her legs as she looked at Pollock's head.
She could see his two long ears pointing up to the sky but mostly she could see his green eyes that had lost its light, becoming completely void of all life.
Two streams of tears began to fall down her face as she looked up at Lirian with anger filling her gaze.
Lirian could feel her intense gaze and a look of pleasant surprise appeared on his face, "It seems like that fools feelings for you weren't completely one sided," Lirian laughed at Hinata without a care in the world, he didn't know how to feel sympathy and he had no intention of learning how to do such a useless thing.
Especially for someone that harboured the intention to kill him, there was a saying that said there is always someone that had it worse than you, however in Lirians view he was that person that always had it worse than others so naturally he'd never feel sympathy for anyone.
Hinata wanted to reach out to grab the head of Pollock but as she looked at her hands she was reminded that they were completely mangled and broken.
"You… you said, that we w… were only… brought to Xelia… because of you," Hinata sniffled and looked at Lirian for answers, she was aware that it was impossible for her to win, so the only thing left for her to do was learn the truth.
"You want answers huh?" said Lirian whilst lightly shrugging his shoulders, then suddenly struck out with a kick catching Hinata in the jaw.
It came as a complete surprise to Hinata as the brutal force from the kick completely shattered her jaw and left it dangling loosely from her face.
"Sure I'll answer your questions, but first I'm going to get a good bit of torture in, but don't worry to much I won't kill you after all, your testimony will be used against Telamon before his execution," Lirian said pensively.
Hinata's eyes contracted in fear, and in seconds she was screaming in pain as her flesh was being torn apart and bones violently crushed, in just minutes she had screamed so much that her vocal cords were tearing and blood began to escape from her throat and fill her mouth.
"We should move and kill him now," a zealot suddenly said to the group, however to his surprise Number 1 stopped him.
"The prince candidate is going to tell that girl the truth about his adoption," Number one quickly added, "If there really is a secret behind his adoption it's obvious that the empress doesn't want anyone to know about it, if we can learn about it we can send a final message to our masters it will help them greatly against the empress," Number 1 explained.
The zealot called Number 2 shook his head slightly, "It's obvious that the prince candidate is aware of us, he is trying to buy time for his back-up to arrive," he said thoughtfully as Hinata's resounding screams reached his ears.
"I'm aware," Number 1 said with a nod of her head, "but so what according to my intel Anya Capriska only has an advanced second accord technique, due to her battle experience it will be a little more challenging, remember all of my people are advanced second accord combatants so only a few of us will be needed to defeat her,"
"We also have a huge number advantage, I doubt that Anya Capriska is capable of defeating all of us," Number 1 said resolutely.
"We also have to worry about the elites from the great families we don't know how many are here," Number 2 interjected with a firm stance.
"We can handle them," Number 1 said firmly, "We'll wait until the prince candidate is finished speaking do you understand, or do I have to remind you why I'm Number 1 on this mission," Number 1 said coldly her tone allowed no room for argument.
Number 2 had a displeased look on his face but he could only suck it up and follow Number 1's orders, it would be completely counterproductive if they had a falling out at that moment.
Several minutes quickly passed by, Hinata's voice had gone completely hoarse and she was left incapable of making a sound.
Hinata slowly blinked her eyes open, hoping that everything that had happened was simply a nightmare, but reality poured cold water on her hopes.
Hinata could feel her back pressed against something hard, but what took up most of her attention was the area in front of her where she could see a pair of extremely familiar arms and a pair of familiar legs, both lying in the dirt.
'Those are…" she thought in horror and looked at her hands and legs that were no longer where they belonged, but as she looked down she could make out a metallic blue sword handle sticking out from her sternum.
It was only then that she realised it was Lirian's katana that was pinning her in to a tree and she was powerless to do anything about it and she was incapable of speaking.
The torture was still fresh in her mind, the entire time she was begging her body to fall unconscious, but it never happened, it was like Lirian knew exactly how far to go, before it became unbearable for her to continue enduring, then he'd begin a new form of torture.
Every second was like a living hell for her and she could feel her mind on the verge of collapse.
"…that was unfortunate," she could hear Lirian speaking Edith.
"I thought her mind would be stronger, but despite me being gentle with my methods she still passed out," Lirian complained to Edith.
"Oh, it looks like she's woken up," Edith said looking at the miserable state Hinata was in, her face and body were completely disfigured, she doubted that anyone would be able recognise her after what Lirian had done to her.
Edith didn't feel sorry for Hinata at all, but still she found it hard to watch as Lirian tortured her, the only thing scarier than the torture was Lirian's attitude about the entire thing.
He was completely unfazed by the guttural screams of pain released by Hinata, it was like something he was extremely well versed in doing such things, and a look of elation filled his face as he used various methods to torture her.
The hardest thing to believe however was that Lirian said this was a gentler manner of torture, to her it seemed completely unbearable.
'I guess that the son takes after the mother,' Edith thought, she had heard a lot about the things the empress had done on a broadcast to a woman that was involved in her poisoning, that left her infertile.
As such she couldn't help but think that Lirian and the empress were alike, 'Unfortunately their similarities had to be in some thing sadistic,' Edith thought with a sigh.
"I believe that it's about time for me to answer your question," Lirian said lightly taking a step towards Hinata.
