"Well done, Nikolai. You've made me proud once again." A deep, raspy voice spoke.

"Of course, Sir. Anything for you." Nikolai's voice echoes out into the room and wakes up the young, unconscious girl tied up in the chair.

Sage opens her eyes to sound her wrists and ankles bound tightly with rope onto a chair. She looks up and sees two men.

Nikolai and the Prime Minister of the nation.

"Ah, the young princess finally awakens." The Minister speaks to the Sage with a taunting tone.

Sage glares at him, but keeps silent.

"Oh, I see. Now you want to keep your mouth shut? Haha, not gonna happen. We need answers from you ." Nikolai steps forward towards Sage.

"What kind of answers?" Sage asks in a calm yet angry tone.

The Minster steps forward. "All the answers."

The girl rolls her eyes. "You are not getting any answers from me." She speaks with a low growl.

"Oh yes we are." Says Nikolai. He pulls out a needle filled with a dull brown liquid. "This truth serum will make you speak nothing but the truth."

Sage raises her eyebrows in confusion. There was such a thing as truth serum? But of course, the government was capable of anything, even creating something that seems impossible in the eyes of other.

Nikolai simpers as he pushes the needle into Sage's arm, causing Sage to flinch.

As the serum went into her bloodstream, Sage suddenly felt groggy and dizzy. She groans due to the unfamiliar feeling within her.

"Now," the Minister speaks. "Question 1: What is your full name, Darling?"

Sage looks up with her eyes almost closing shut. None the less, she answers, "Sage West Lyell."

Nikolai and the Minister look at each other with a satisfied smirk.

"Question 2: How old are you?"

"Seventeen"

"Good. Question 3: Where are your parents?"

"My mother and father were killed."

"Why?"

"They went against the Government."

The Minister was not shocked at the bit of information he gained. Of course, this was a young girl who had no parents. And these parents were no good either.

Nikolai looked at the Minister, who was in deep thought.

"Sir?"

"I have an idea." The Minister spoke, ignoring Nikolai's comment.

"What is it, sir?"

The Minister ignores him once again and walks over the girl bound in the chair.

"Don't worry, Darling. It's gonna get better from here. You won't be a useless anymore. I'm putting you in the Unwanted Association."
