Mara's voice came out choked with rage and horror.
"You... how could you be so cruel?! You made my father eat my mother's heart! How could you do something so monstrous?!"
Damian laughed, the sound carrying genuine amusement.
"You Nobles are truly fascinating. When it comes to commoners, you treat them worse than Monsters, torture them for entertainment and kill them for sport. Use them as tools and dispose of them without thought."
His expression hardened.
"But when it comes to your own kind, suddenly you talk about cruelty? About humanity? About how wrong it is to inflict suffering?"
He leaned closer, his voice dropping to something quiet and deadly.
"When your father manipulated Zavier's father to eat his own wife alive while both of them remained fully conscious and aware, where was his humanity then? Where was the concern about cruelty?"
Mara's face went pale, her eyes showing confusion.
"What are you talking about?"
