“Free? Is dying scared you so much that you now have become a comedian?” Wynter snorted.
Scarlet ignore Wynter’s trash talks as she scanned the five men in the room.
Honestly, they are her only salvation in order to finish this quest but it will be hard to convince them after all the former [Scarlet] had done.
“For all the rebellion that happened during your reign you never let anyone of us free, what change your mind? Did dying once really make you feel pity toward us?” Ragna added with mockery.
Scarlet stayed quieted as she think of a way on making this men joined her plan.
[Eternal Love] as said before is a skill that bound the soul of the [marked] to the owner of the skill that’s why when [Scarlet] died they also experienced it too. That’s the reason for the current Scarlet is having a hard time on how to convince them and justify her actions on this present day and future onwards.
As she was thinking, a pair of ruby eyes same as her are also observing her. The moment she entered the room Siegfried had already notice the difference on her atmosphere and actions.
“Are you Scarlet?” He couldn’t help but asked.
This startled Scarlet especially when an interface in bright red light flashes on her face.
[Warning: User identity must not be revealed.
Penalty: Death]
Scarlet can’t help cursed mentally.
‘I thought systems are the one who will help you but why this one wants me to die so much.’
Shaking her head mentally, she replied to Siegfried with a smiled.
“I am Scarlet.”
“Really?” Siegfried raised an eyebrow and asked with doubt.
They say a person can know when you lie is when you look them at the eyes but Scarlet had mastered on how to avoid people seeing the lies in her eyes. So, Scarlet calms her nerves and look directly to Siegfried who had the corner of his lips raised in a mocking form.
“In fact, I am the real Scarlet.” She lied.
“WHAT?!”
“W-what do you mean?” Pierre asked in disbelief.
Scarlet faced Pierre behind the bars that had a look of agony, disbelief and sadness marred on his beautiful face.

She felt sorry for lying and breaking his heart but she will do anything to survive even spouting nonsense.
“Like I said, I am the real Scarlet. A demon had possessed my body when I was fifteen you should know that Piercival.”
Despite absorbing [Scarlet’s] memory earlier, it feels incomplete and some of [Scarlet] memory had some gaps or like it’s been erase and one of those is when [Scarlet] turned fifteen.
When [Scarlet] was thirteenth she was lively, elegant and kind which Pierre had fallen in love with however when [Scarlet] turned fourteenth her mother and younger brother died due to battles in the royal harem and the king ignorance. The lively girl was gone and she became gloomy and quiet that’s why everyone felt when [Scarlet] turned fifteen and mass massacre the whole royal family was due to the loss of her mother and brother and justify her action as revenge.
But for the current Scarlet they something fishy going on in fact [Eternal Love] is not as skill the former [Scarlet] is born with but she gained this skill when she turned fifteen and she tried to remember how [Scarlet] got it but unfortunately she couldn’t remember like it was hidden or erase. And with those plot holes she can use it to create a story and lie to them with a straight face.
“You are lying, if it’s a demon I could have detected it!” Elliot interfered not believing her lies.
Scarlet sighed and looked at the interface.

Forty five minutes had passed already.
“Do you think you’re the only one who possesses holy power? Have you forgotten I am one of the beloved children of the Goddess of Earth, Gaia? The demon that possesses my body must be strong that even with the protection of the Goddess they had taken over it.” Scarlet replied calmly as she watches Elliot falls on his knees in disbelief.
He is a well know Saint of Illuminus, the Sun God and possessed a great amount of holy power it must be a great shocked for him that the woman who bedded him was no other than a demon.

Scarlet sighed.
I think she did exaggerated her lies that she needs to make those love rates stop descending or else she will have a penalty.
While at it, she also checked the love rates of the three remaining men who are silent.

Ragna Beowulf

Ragna had a looked on his face that he didn’t believe any of her stories and his love rate is still the same maybe his hatred for [Scarlet] is too deep that he does not care whether she is demon or what not.
[ Name : Wynter

Wynter had the same look and love rate status as Ragna; Well, she really don’t care if they believe it or not as long the system says that her identity is not reveal she will continue her little fiction in order to stay alive.
Lastly, Scarlet now turn her attention to Siegfried who is silent the whole time she revealed the ‘truth’ and been observing her.
Name : Seigfried
Castillion

To her surprise, the love rate rise with one point.
Scarlet now felt curious as well as cautious towards this mysterious man. With him having the highest love rate despite being imprisoned and seen [Scarlet] cruelty, she feel there’s something wrong with these person.
‘A weirdo or a psychopath, it’s either of the two.’ She thought.
Once again she looked at quest interface to check out the time.

Another ten minutes had passed.
She sighed; time is getting shorter so she needs to start her plan.
“I know this must be a shocked to all but in fact everyone knew that [I] died earlier.”
The five men subconsciously nodded. They knew this fact because they also died.
“When the demon that possessed my body died -- Well let me correct that, I am not even sure if that demon really died or left on their own decision but on that moment with the help of the Goddess Gaia who manage to gather a small part of my soul use that opportunity to return it to my body. And I don’t care if you believe me or not, what I want now is your cooperation in order to save this kingdom as well as your children.” Scarlet explained as the men absorb the information.
“I know you hated the former [me]; I as well loathed [her] not only robbing my body and my life but also all the cruelty [she] had done towards other people, to you and to the children but this is not the time to dwell on this hatred. The former [Scarlet] had sent a lot of knights on the border leaving not enough man power to fight this rebellion and the fall of this kingdom is what the demon want and I need your cooperation to stop it and save this kingdom, the citizens, your loved ones, our children.” Scarlet explained wholeheartedly.
Scarlet mentally praise her acting.
‘Those acting gigs always come handy.’ She thought.
On her past life as an orphan, in order to brought food on the table and pay her bills she had done a lot of part time jobs and some of them are acting on minor roles on some drama that hone her acting skills.
“If you don’t believe me, I had brought the Oath of Nyx with me and let’s make a contract with each other.”
She grabs the scroll the Gilda left earlier in the table and showed to them.
The [Oath of Nyx] is an A- class item from the Temple of the Moon, the religion that worships the Goddess of Night, Nyx given to the royal family exclusively. It’s mostly use for contracts for the reason those who failed to comply what’s written on the agreement shall face the consequences and will be punished by the Goddess Nyx, herself.
“What kind of agreement do you want?” Siegfried voiced out.
“First, I will grant all of my consort freedom as long as you will help me on stopping this rebellion. When I say freedom that means you are free to go wherever you want and do whatever you want.”
“If I am allowed to do what I want, can I interact with my child?” Elliot meekly asked, a sense of longing was painted on his face.
Scarlet sadly smiled.
Despite being the father, these five men have not once did [Scarlet] let them see or touch their children.
Suddenly a memory flashed on her mind.
