"No." Jinx's expression was conflicted.

If she could, she wouldn't want to hurt Nyx, but she wanted to stay alive.

"We can't get any useful information, so we won't get the antidote." She tightly gripped Jules' arm. Her voice was soft, but her tone was urgent. "Once the Moonshade Poison takes effect, we'll both die painfully."

Banon controlled his subordinates with ruthless methods. If they had family, he would use them as leverage; for those like them, who had no family, he used poison to control them.

From the moment they were selected and trained, they were fed a poison called Moonshade Poison, and they had to take the antidote every three months. If they didn't, they would burn with an internal flame, their blood would go haywire, and they would slowly die in endless agony.

"We have no choice." Jinx slowly wrapped her arms around Jules. Her voice trembled. "I want to live, and I don't want you to die."

They had both witnessed the horrific deaths of people who had died from the poison.

Banon made sure to gather his subordinates and have them watch the fate of traitors.

For them, the best ending was to commit suicide before the poison took effect. Once it did, life was worse than death.

Jules sat up in silence after a long time. "I understand."

In fact, she was already tired of being manipulated like this and thought that dying might not be so bad.

Since childhood, when she was chosen, she had been treated as a useful tool to be trained. She could only follow orders and lived each day in a daze. Today, it was the first time she felt like someone was actually treating her like a person.

Nyx had shown her kindness and was willing to give her freedom without expecting anything in return.

After experiencing what it was like to be treated as a human being, now she had to step on Nyx and become a slave again to a villain. It was a different kind of life worse than death.

She was tired and wanted to escape this cage, even if it meant paying with her life. But she didn't want to drag Jinx down with her.

The two of them had once sworn to be sisters. Now that they were on the same mission, if she betrayed Banon, Jinx would also be doomed to die.

For Jinx's sake, she could only continue enduring and follow Banon's orders.

"But... you saw it too. Nyx and Erik have a good relationship," she sighed in frustration. "Do we really have to seduce him?"
