"F…Frankly, lady," Knox began with a dry, hoarse voice. "I don't give a flying f*ck!"
The Cobra Empress mysteriously smiled.
"Oh, but I believe you will," she said. "Over time, you will grow to learn that, in this world, you only have me to rely on. And as my newest precious toy, I'll be sure to spoil you. Shower you with all my affection."
