NovelEnglishChapter Ninety Five So many questions clouded my mind-questions about Trian. I always thought he was mysterious, but perhaps I underexaggerated it all. He leftwith so many unanswered questions. How had he escaped the Pit? How had he gotten into my room? And how in the hell did he disappear into thin air? He had asked if I trusted him. I did-more than anyone in my life, though there weren't many to begin with. He said he would cback for me; he also toldwhat I would have to do. I didn't know his plans, but I had no choice but to trust him blindly.
Two days passed. I knew Julia would be visiting anytfrom now, but this tI was ready.

"I brought you sfood. But as I have told you before, it all comes with a price." She said, “It's just one simple task, and this torment-it would be all over, your sins forgotten. That's not too much to ask, is it? On the contrary, it's fair..." >> "You are right." I said, cutting her off and enjoying the surprise on her face; she hadn't expectedto give in.

I thank you, Empress, for helpingsee just how deeply I had been tainted by sin." Her smile broadened even wider if that was possible. "You need to eat; you are weak, and then you will make your confessions." "Thank you, Empress."

I spent thirty minutes in the bathtub, lost in thoughts of Trian and how enticing of a man he was. Another ten minutes replaying every word he had spoken toin the room, lingering on the promises he made. The last twenty minutes were spent getting dressed.
In exactly one hour, Julia walked in, seemingly happy to seeall dressed and ready.
"Shall we?" she asked, and I opened my mouth to give a sweet response, but I wonder if overdoing it will bring about suspicion, so I shut my mouth and issued a nod. "Great! They are all waiting." She announced.
