Chapter 274
Translator: Yonnee
—
The lingering impact of that smile left Grace staring blankly at the door for a while.
“Less than human?”
With all decisions already made?
Could she mean influencing the decisions of other houses? Even that saintess wouldn’t be able to do that.
“Hmm… she’s bluffing.”
But Grace’s judgment was a miscalculation.
As soon as she finished mumbling, the door burst open with a loud bang.
“Criminal Grace, hear this! Punishing you for your wicked deeds is heaven’s divine will!”
It all happened in an instant.
With ominous declarations, the Utta Sect’s paladins stormed into the room, and before she knew it, a long spear pierced through Grace’s abdomen.
“Urgh…?”
Grace looked down in disbelief.
She saw crimson blood.
“What… is this…”
How could this be happening? How could there be paladins here in Bohr Castle? Did her father permit this?
Thousands of thoughts flashed through her mind. But they didn’t last long due to the excruciating pain in her abdomen.
“Ugh…”
The blood that had been slowly pooling at the wound now gushed out.
Grace finally realized her situation.
Could it be… she was going to die so meaninglessly?
She gasped for breath as if lacking oxygen.
“I did nothing wrong… why is this happening to me…”
Why was she being killed so senselessly?
“I only tried to follow the natural order… why…”
And at that moment.
“Do you really think so?”
Though the voice wasn’t entirely clear, it was familiar.
“Of course…”
I did nothing wrong.
It was a murmur she couldn’t fully articulate.
However, it seemed the person asking understood her answer, as she heard a small sigh.
“Haa… you really are something.”
She wanted to offer some excuse for her unjust reaction.
But.
“You scorned the things that make humans truly human. So now, I intend to treat you as less than human.”
Had Reina reappeared, delivering those meaningful words before disappearing?
“……?”
A situation too unbelievable to comprehend. She looked down, and her abdomen was perfectly fine.
But that wasn’t all.
There were no Utta paladins, no spear piercing her flesh, no sacred blood flowing around. None of it was there.
“A dream…?”
She knew her condition had been strange lately, but to dream in the middle of a conversation?
Moreover, what she had just experienced felt too vivid.
As she quietly sat trying to grasp the situation, she stood up and approached the door Reina had exited through.
“Could that clever child have done something to me…?”
Grace’s voice trailed off as she paused. Her eyes froze, forgetting the confusion.
“……”
The door she had assumed would be locked was open.
Could it be a trap? That thought briefly crossed her mind.
Creeeak—
The Bohr knights who had been guarding her were nowhere to be seen. Only the stairs leading down greeted her.
“……”
Everything seemed suspicious.
But in the end, she chose to escape.
She wasn’t someone meant to be confined in a place like this. So, wouldn’t it be right to take advantage of the opportunity and escape?
“Huuk… huuk…”
She ran down the stairs frantically.
Her feet scraped against the rough stone steps, but she didn’t stop, fearing someone might catch her or she might encounter someone on the stairs.
And when she finally reached the ground, her heart pounding.
“What on earth…?”
There was nothing there. The entire Bohr Castle was in ruins, resembling the site of a castle destroyed a hundred years ago.
“……”
Could it be that Reina Chantra and Ethan Liam had destroyed Bohr Castle and left?
But even if that were the case, it seemed like everyone had vanished without a trace.
At that moment, she heard the cry of a beast not far away.
“Grroooowl…”
Bohr Castle, built above the sacred ground of Chetrasiu, should have had no aggressive beasts. Hence, Grace felt relieved.
But it was a naive judgment.
“Grrowl.”
When she realized something was wrong from the growling sound, it was already too late.
“Grroooowl… Grahh…!!!”
In an instant, wolves pounced on her, biting into her limbs.
“Aaaagh…!! Let go…!”
The unbearable pain began to tear her flesh apart.
“No, no…!!”
I’m not supposed to die here like this! I did nothing wrong!
And then, she heard the voice again, echoing in her ear.
“Do you really think so?”
Her breath caught in her throat.
“Re-Reina…?”
“Do you really think so?”
Forgetting the pain, Grace stared blankly into the void.
“…What… what have you done to me!”
“So, do you really think you’ve done nothing wrong?”
“Yes. I believe that…! I’m right! I’m correct!”
She screamed in desperation.
It’s not that what I chose was right. What I chose is what made it right. I am the very justice and truth of this world!
She shouted towards the invisible Reina.
“Your savior act is flawed! In the end, humans survive by the logic of power! Everything is about power!”
Suddenly, the pain of having her flesh torn away vanished. The scene before her eyes flipped.
“You have scorned the things that make humans truly human.”
Reina appeared again.
“So, I also intend to treat you as less than human from now on.”
The same words, the same situation, and the impending pain.
Grace, being clever, understood immediately.
“You… you cast a mental spell on me.”
The Reina before her was nothing but an illusion, but the saintess did not respond.
Even so, Grace was certain.
“Treated as less than human… is this what you mean? Ha, hahaha…”
This was another prison and torture created by Reina.
