------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Haruhime become silent. She has no answer to this question of Primis. This question is something Haruhime has also asked herself before but since she don't have answer to this, she always put it aside. But now since Primis is asking this and she have to face this question.

Primis: Tell me.

Haruhime: I-I....

But still no answer. She is looking down thinking about it. Because she is deep in thought she didn't realize that Primis is already standing in front of her. Primis raises his right-hand and touch Haruhime face. Before Haruhime could understand what's going on, he raises her head and make her face him. Since Primis is making sure to keep the power of his Sharingan in control, Haruhime has no problem looking directly into it.

Primis: Answer me, Haruhime. Why?

Haruhime: I-I...

Primis: Everyone knows what kind of person you are in Far East but they didn't trust you one-bit when someone put a blame on you.

Haruhime: ...….

Primis: Even your own father, who was taking care of you didn't trust you. Why?

Haruhime: ...…...

Primis: You are here ready to do anything so that some innocents who you have never meet in once can be saved. But everyone who knows what kind of person you were there in your Home. Then why did no one come to help you.

Haruhime hurriedly closed her eyes because she don't want to hear any of it. She wants to avoid this question no matter what. She is just running away from it. And Primis knows that. That's why his next words made Haruhime body tremble violently as she opened her eyes.

Primis: Why, you didn't hate them.

Haruhime eyes wide open. Primis words are keep on sounding in her ears nonstop. As Haruhime was lost in thought, she didn't realize that Primis is slowly releasing the power of his Sharingan.

Primis: But it's not that you didn't hate them. In truth, you hate them but you just don't to admit it.

Haruhime: ...…...

Primis: You hate all of them. You hate your father; you hate all the people there; you hate the Pallum guest who you were offered to by your father; you hate him because he ran away when monsters attacked; you hate the bandits who captured you and sold you to brothel; you hate all those you took your body here because of that you lost the right to saved by hero; you hate Ishtar because she brutally hurt the only friend you made here and show you kindness, Aisha.

When Aisha name came, a great change appears in Haruhime. The kindness in her eyes started to disappear slowly and slowly. By now Primis has already released the full power of his Sharingan and he succeeded in taking out the Hatred buried deep within Haruhime. But he knew that he needs to give one last push to release all of it. So, he continued.

Primis: The reason why you didn't blame anyone and all of this is because you thought one day a hero will come to save you. So, you want to remain kind because Hero won't come to save you if you hate others. But what was the result. No hero came to save you. And know you are too far gone. So, why are you still hiding your real feelings?

Haruhime: I....

Primis didn't let Haruhime continue and bring his mouth close to her ears and whisper.

Primis: I will help you to get your revenge on all those who wronged you. So, tell me Sanjouno Haruhime. You hate them, didn't you?

Haruhime remain silent and went deep in her thoughts.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

She started to remember her past. About how happily she lived in Fast East. How people around her were very kind to her. She remembers her father, his kind smile. To live with these kind people all the time, that's all she always to wanted. She never says no to anyone.

She always tries her best to live up to her father's expectations. No matter how difficult she always tried her hardest because she loved to see the happy expression on her father face when she completed the task. But as she grew up as a dignified young lady of a noble family her interaction with other people started to become less and less. But whenever she met them, they always show her the kind smile and praise her for her efforts.

As time went by, her home is the only left for her. She feels like she is in a cage but still she never complained because her father was always happy. She started to read books to get rid of the feeling of isolation. She loved the books in which hero came to save captured princess, queen and so on. Since she is also living such life, she also thought that one day Hero will come to save her.

But even after reading so many books, she can't get rid of the feeling of isolation from the room. One day some children came. They said they are from Takemikazuchi Familia and will take her out to play without anyone realizing it. She happily agreed. They were her first friends. At morning she spent her free time on reading story books and in night she plays with her friends outside.

She enjoyed her life but one day everything changes. Someone framed her for eating the offering. Her father who she loved the most didn't even ask her about it and directly disowned her. She was then offered to Pallum guest at a high price. She was sitting in the cage which that guest brought, to take her away. At that time, she looks at all the people surrounding her. These are the very people who always show kindness to her but now their eyes are filled with disdain and disgust when they are looking at her.

She saw her father who was standing far away. He also has a same look in his eyes. Seeing everyone like this, her heart started to pain. She holds her chest tightly trying her best to not cry. Soon things become even more worse as some children started to throw rocks at her. Some of those stones hit her. She started to get injured but no one came forward to help her. Like she is not worth saving. But she tries her best to not cry putting a false hope that a hero will come to save her.

Soon, she was taking away by the Pallum guest. In the way, they got attacked by monsters. Guards protecting the carriage died one-by-one and that Pallum find a way and ran away. She saw with her own eyes as a monster attacked her. She blanks out thinking she died.

When she wakes up and find herself in unfamiliar place. She is still in cage but this one is a lot bigger. She looks around and finds many other like her who are in cage. At distance she saw some men who are gathering around a bonfire and laughing. As she confused where she is one of the people inside told her that they all are captured by bandits. She became sad again but inward she was happy that her so called 'Hero' will come to save her. This little hope is all keeping her from becoming insane.

But soon even this hope is shattered when those bandits sold her to Brothel. Before they can sell her Ishtar found her and make her the member of her Familia. When her first costumer came, she become scared and try to resist but its useless against the Adventurer. The Adventurer removed his clothes and jump at her. Seeing this she lost her consciousness.

By the time, she woke she finds herself in the same room but her clothes are disheveled and there was some juice on her body. She realizes that her body is no longer pure and now no Hero will come to save her. She cries a lot that day. After that more and more customers started to appear. She resisted at first then gave up.

As time went by, she no longer cares about anything. One day she met a person here. That person was the only kind person she met here. That person didn't feel disgusted even when knowing she has shared bed with many men. On the contrary, that person pity her. The name of that person was Aisha. Since Aisha didn't feel disgusted, Haruhime told all of her past to Aisha.

Aisha become sad knowing it and decided to help her to run away. At first, Haruhime don't want to because she had nowhere else to go. But Aisha insisted so she agrees. As they were running Ishtar finds them. Ishtar didn't do anything to her but made her look at Aisha who was beaten very brutally my Phryne Jamil, the captain of Ishtar Familia. In the end, Ishtar even raped Aisha broken body herself until her sanity was broken.

Haruhime saw everything with tears in her but she is powerless and helpless to do anything. From that day on, Haruhime never once look into Aisha eyes. No matter how many times they meet, Haruhime always avoid eye contact with her because she feels guilty thinking, she is responsible for what happens to Aisha.

Now to Haruhime death is better than living. She also wanted to kill herself but because of the collar on her neck she can't do it. She has already lost all hope by then. Currently, she is nothing more than a shell who always put a fake smile on her face. There is no Hero for her. So, she even stops reading those story books. There is only one question she keeps on asking herself that time and even now.

Haruhime: What did I do to deserve this.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tears started to fall from Haruhime eyes as she remembered her past. At this time, something akin to Devil whisper in her ears.

Primis: Do you hate them?

Haruhime turned her gaze to the person in front. She is looking directly into his glowing blood-red eyes without turning away. All the kindness in her eyes is gone now. Now Primis can see a boundless hatred in them.

Haruhime: Yes...I.... hate…...them.

Listening to Haruhime response, a smile appears on Primis face. But this is not some gentle smile or something but the cruelest smile Primis has ever made until today. Primis didn't realize it himself but the 3-tomoe in his eyes are rotating non-stop and the intensity of his eyes are increasing and increasing. His Sharingan is becoming more and more stronger.

Primis: Do you hate those people in your Far home?

Haruhime: I do.

Primis: Do you hate your father?

Haruhime: I do.

Primis: Do you hate Ishtar?

Haruhime: I DO.

A burst of power release from Haruhime. If there was someone else around Haruhime then they have been thrown away with great force. But Primis is not affect by this in the least. He narrowed his eyes and asked Twilight about it.

'Primis: What happens Twilight?'

[Bloodline Awakening.]

'Primis: Bloodline. Huh.'

[.... Looks like you hit a Jackpot, Primis.]

'Primis: Is that so.'

[Yes. It's extremely difficult to Awaken the Bloodline. Only those who have reached a very high-level can awaken it. Even then it is very difficult because body can't handle such change. But she Awakens it when she is mere Level 1. It has never happened before.]

'Primis: Is her life is in danger?'

[Not if you will make her the member. Didn't I said that you just hit a Jackpot. Once she will become the member her body will evolve and will be able to handle the power without any problem.]

'Primis: And what benefits she will get'

[Even time she will level up, the number of her tails will also increase].

Primis eyes widened slightly.

'Primis: You mean once she will become Level 2 then she will have two-tails; Level 3 three tails and by the time she will reach Level 9 she will have nine-tails.'

[Yes.]

'Primis: Then I really hit a Jackpot this time. But why did this happen.'

[It's because of your Sharingan.]

'Primis: My Sharingan.'

[Yes. You haven't realized it yet but your Sharingan has become even more stronger.]

'Primis: Huh. How?'

[Did you remember what Second Hokage told to Sasuke about Uchiha Clan when he was Revived by the Orochimaru.]

'Primis: About Uchiha being the clan possessed by evil.'

[Exactly. The greater the darkness the greater the power. As you made someone fall deeper and deeper into darkness, your Sharingan will become stronger. That's also the case for Lili, when you draws out her hatred. So, because of that you were able to forceful awaken Haruhime Bloodline.]

Primis just smiled and look at Haruhime who is also looking at him. He started to caress her beautiful face and spoke.

Primis: Tell me, Haruhime. Do you want to kill them by your own hands?

Haruhime: ...… Can I?

Primis: Of course, you can. I will give you power for the revenge. But Ishtar is mine. I want to kill her myself.

Haruhime: ...…...

Haruhime become silent. Primis didn't say anything and wait for her. After some time, she spoke. But her eyes are full of determination.

Haruhime: What do I have to do?

Primis: Are you ready to sacrifice everything for your revenge?

Haruhime: ...…I….am.

[DING]

[DING]

[DING]

[Sanjouno Haruhime has decided to sacrifice her everything to you for Revenge. She can now become Half-Member or Permanent Member of your Household. Which do you want her to become?]

'Primis: Half-Member.'

[Affirmative]

BDUMP!

THUD!

THUD!

Now there is a third heartbeat within Heart which belongs to Haruhime. Primis smiled cruelly again.

'Primis: Another one falls. Hehe. Now I think its time to get my hands on a loyal sword. So, after everything is done here, I am coming for you my darling Ais.'
