Since that day, the Torturer's character took an one-eighty turn.
Perhaps she was afraid that she would end up in Alpha's hands again, or perhaps she was simply afraid that Liora would kill her. But no matter why, from that day onward, her willingness to serve Liora had seemingly surpassed that of Alpha, nearly matching that of Scurry.
Not only did the Torturer take the initiative to give Liora the Gothic castle, but she also gifted her the entire City of Pain, claiming that she was merely managing in her stead for now.
Liora didn't comment on the Torturer's sudden change of attitude.
Whether she was truly loyal or she was just pretending, time would let her know sooner or later.
Under this strange tacit understanding between the two, time quickly went by.

Day and night alternated, and before long, almost an entire week had gone by.
