I didn’t know whether I should try denying it, or perhaps accepting it together, and what the consequences of my response could be.

As the words left my mouth, I was filled with dreadful self-loathing.
Hirkan gave me a pitiful look, almost as if he was trying to say what I was doing giving my heart out to a tyrannical psychopath like him.
I buried my face in my hands as I murmured.
“Please don’t tell other people that I said this.”
“No worries.”
“How did you figure it out, anyway?”
Hirkan lifted his chin into the air proudly.
