“Your comrade has just died, and you’re next soon. Since I find that you’re good-looking, I’ll allow you to choose a method to die.” Right after these words were spoken, a man entirely obscured by a black hat and robes entered the room.

The man in black robes was stunned for a moment. Then, he burst into laughter. “You…this woman. Not only are you beautiful, but you’re also interesting. I always mean what I say, but you can’t blame me since you didn’t play your cards conventionally and make a proper choice.”
