"Why did Celaeno kick you out?" Matthew asked, picking a place to sit among the chairs of the office he and Lenore went in.
"Celaeno is… A hard woman." Lenore dismissed him.
"And Malphas got to you and forced you to be his general again?" Matthew questioned her, looking at her bare flesh covered with fresh scars.
"No. He didn't force me. I convinced him to let me command one of his legions again." Lenore corrected Matthew with a bit of pride.
"And the scars?" He asked.
"This was… Punishment. For leaving him." She revealed while caressing her belly where a large round scar was near her navel.
"And even being tortured you asked to be his general again?" Matthew found it odd.
"It was better than being dead." Lenore protested with anger in her eyes.
Matthew ate his own words. He became silent for a while, just looking at the Erinyes body language. Guarded, scared.
"So when did Malphas start to work with Samil?" Matthew asked.
"Samil?" Lenore questioned him.
