Chapter 233: The Shadeless One
Chapter 233 – The Shadeless One
"I am Silentshade," Ester said, in the most composed voice she could muster in that moment.
To Sylphira, seeing such a being act tough and confident was nothing short of amusing.
After all, she could take control of Ester’s mind with a flick of her will, peel every memory from her brain, and use her as a puppet for all eternity if she wanted to. And that was no exaggeration—her will was powerful and that even among the Originals. Between Mortis, Ebony, and herself, Sylphira had the strongest will of all.
But she had chosen otherwise.
After spending five entire days being burned inside the flames of hell to improve her will, she had finally decided to take a time for herself and so wanted nothing more than to relax, to breathe a little, to unwind her mind with something entertaining. And Ester... was entertaining.
So she decided to indulge this uncultured creature just a little more.
"Silentshade... is that your name, or a nickname you picked up while sneaking into an unknown territory?" Sylphira asked, her mischievous expression never once leaving her face.
Ester was caught off guard for just a second as she hadn’t expected that kind of question but she steadied herself immediately.
"It’s my name," she replied simply, not wanting to say anything more.
But deep inside, she knew it was pointless to keep acting. Her foreign identity was already exposed. There was no mask left. No more pretending.
