21 – Red Garden Landscaper 7

Yuria is openly cursing her in front of her.

However, while listening to this, Isolda did not feel the emotion of anger.

Rather, the feelings she is feeling right now are… doubts… and anxiety that she herself cannot understand…

“..why.. why do you think so?.. what did that woman do..”

Lee Sol-da asked in a trembling voice. Regarding this, Yuria looked at Isolda and said with burning anger in her eyes.

“… She is my enemy… the evil woman who ruined my parents… and made them die in the end…”

“Lee.. Lee Solda.. n… Yes.. my parents… ?”

It was a story I didn’t know.

However, there was a guessing part.

That’s why Isolda was able to know.

that what she said was true…

That this child’s parents died because of what he had done.

“Yes.. so you don’t know how happy I was not long ago. Hearing that the wicked villainess was punished by Bahamut-sama…”

YuRia recalls the joy of that time while tightening her hands holding the reins.

At that moment, she didn’t notice Isolda looking at her with a pale expression.

“Originally, I was going to succeed and get revenge, but now I don’t have to. That’s why I’m going to my parents now. To let you know that Lee Solda is dead… now you can close your eyes in peace…”

“… .yeah… Goa..”

“… ? Mrs. Isera? divination . okay..”

Only then did Yuria notice that Ysera’s complexion was not looking good.

In response, she called out to her with concern, but right after that, Ysera raised her hand to block her words.

“It’s okay.. It’s a little.. I’m tired.. I.. I’ll rest inside for a while..”

“Ah yes. Then rest for a bit, because we have to go a long way to set up camp anyway..”

“Yeah… well, then I… .”

Lee Sol-da staggers into the carriage.

Looking at her, YuRia began to look back on her memories to see if there was anywhere she could get medicine along the way, worrying that the wound on her back might have gotten worse.

Isolda settled deep in the wagon.

But… there she could hardly lie at ease.

‘I… killed… I… I… the child’s… parents… I..’

It was Lee Solda who had thought that a person’s life was worth less than a single gold coin.

I have always thought that humans are just tools to be utilized and objects to be traded in other ways.

However, even she couldn’t take the current shock lightly.

YuRia, who has been identifying with herself all the time while seeing her own appearance overlap.

Because of this, even when she heard about her parents, Isolda didn’t feel like they were strangers.

It seemed that there was a soft part, but I still had a feeling of mourning for their death.

They sympathized with those who suffered the same fall as himself.

And, the culprit behind all of that… was none other than Isolda Evergarden herself.

A chain of desire that she lightly wielded with the feeling of using a tool.

That… is what killed them.

If it hadn’t been for her, that child… that child who resembled himself as a child would not have been pulling a carriage alone in the cold wind.

that she had taken away

the child’s family. the future. happiness..

No, it’s not just that kid.

A lot of people who don’t even know Lee Sol-da’s face… They must have already suffered the same pain as that child.

Everyone who was used, robbed, and abandoned by her…

Everyone she treated as mere tools and treated without mercy…

‘I..I..until..what..then..then..what..what have I..’

He always thought of himself as a special being different from others.

She is a colossus who will one day grab everything in this world, and other humans are just objects she can handle.

That’s why she thought she could use even humans without hesitation for her own benefit.

I thought it was possible to make others unhappy for my own sake.

But,

As I met this girl named Yuria,

listening to her story,

By empathizing with her feelings,

For the first time in my life… while sharing heartfelt sympathy with others…

Isolda’s soul, which had been weakened and shaken by the failure…

At this moment, I had no choice but to admit one fact that was so cruel.

The people who were made unhappy by her hand… were actually no different from her.

That I had a past like hers, that I had a family like hers, and that I suffered from failures like hers.

As soon as I realized that the things I had discarded as worthless were in fact huge debts…

she..

A wicked woman who brought tears to the eyes of many people.

Tears of blood flowed from Leesolda Evergarden’s eyes… filled with unbearable guilt.

“I’m sorry… I’m sorry… I’m really… sorry…”

*

“Are you okay? You still have a bad complexion…”

“It’s okay..I… And.. you should get some rest too.. you look very tired.”

Still with a pale, bloodless face, Isolda spoke without a trace.

In response, Yuria was thinking of giving her a little more rest anyway. Isolda stubbornly refused and allowed her to sleep.

“That.. well.. if you’re really having a hard time, wake me up anytime. Because I’m fine…”

“yes. I will do that.. have a good rest..”

After repeating the request, Yuria manages to get inside the carriage and fall asleep.

In addition, in a situation where the dogs guarding the surroundings were also sent inside for a rest, Isolda started driving the wagon alone.

It is Lee Sol holding the reins of a horse in the misty rain with a face like a pale corpse.

In such a frightening silence, Isolda idly began to ruminate on the pain of the sin she had committed.

‘… A wicked woman… who will fall into hell… an evil wicked woman… ‘

YuRia’s words never left her mind.

For a moment, the very words that the girl in her childhood felt like cursing her life now…

it now. It had become a very cold and sharp needle, stabbing Isolda’s chest endlessly.

It hurts so much.

To the point where flesh was torn, blood flowed, and bones were punctured.

And even then.. never stop and constantly.

In the pain that did not go away, Isolda looked at the sign erected on the side of the road with empty eyes.

A sign indicating that the destination is not far away.

However, the resolve she had when she first set off on this journey no longer remained with her.

‘Now.. what should I..?’

Nothing could be done.

Starting over, gaining strength, and taking revenge.

Now that he recognizes the weight of his sins and is weighed down by them.

She couldn’t touch anything.

Because in the process of reaching out for it, I felt like I would hurt someone again.

Because I felt like I was going to treat someone like a tool again and ruin their lives.

‘I’d rather… not run away… it would have been better if I’d just crawled on the floor there without knowing anything for the rest of my life…’

However, Isolda knew that it was already too late to go back.

Then at least… at this point she wants to do what she can… no, she should. she started thinking.

‘If at least I can do that… then can this pain… be a little less? If so…’

A hazy dawn with drizzling rain.

The endlessly running carriage finally stopped.

However, the place they arrived at was neither a fancy city nor a noisy market.

Cemetry.

A place where the dead rest for the last time.

There, a girl slowly knelt down and looked at the two tombstones in front of her.

“I’m here…Mom…Dad… ”

Yuria calls them with a voice filled with sadness and longing.

Even though she came prepared, she carefully touched the tombstones in front of her, feeling as if she was about to cry.

“It’s been a while, isn’t it?.. Today… I brought you very happy news.”

With those words, Yuria began to show a smile on her lips.

Much harder than she thought…

With tears in her eyes, she smiled as brightly as she could in front of her parents.

“Please be happy.. Mom and Dad. It’s finally dead… That wicked villainess… Isolda Evergarden is dead. The person who bullied my mom and dad… who destroyed our family is finally…”

“no… ”

“?”

At that moment, a cold voice came from behind.

At this, Yuria slowly looked back as it was.

Standing there… a familiar yet… at the same time a completely unfamiliar person.

“Lee Sera Lee? What happened here?”

“… That too… no…”

With those words, Ysera slowly approaches Yuria.

Then, with a cold expression on her face, she looked down at YuRia and opened her mouth.

“It’s not Ysera. My name is.. Solda Lee.. Evergarden..”

“… .Yes?

YuRia’s face began to harden coldly at the words that flowed out in a trembling voice.

“That… that… what… are you talking about? This… Mr. Lee Sera… such… that kind of nonsense…”

Yuria denies it with a trembling voice at the unbelievable story.

However, looking at her like that, Isolda spoke in a cold yet determined voice.

“It’s true. The villainess who killed your parents… the one you wished would end up in hell… that’s me…”

“… .”

At Isolda’s words, Yuria couldn’t think for a moment.

The person he saved with good will.

It was a short time, but a person who had a longing heart.

And.. the person who shared the pain with her.

That person… is his enemy. The fact that she was the very villain who caused all the sorrow. YuRia couldn’t decide how to accept it.

at that time..

“!… .”

The next moment, Lee Sol stretches her arms forward and offers something.

Upon seeing this, Yuria began to feel her confused mind suddenly cool down.

“Take it… you always wanted it.”

What Isolda held out was a dagger.

It was made not long ago and still retains its sparkling luster.

An item that Isolda carried in her bosom in case everything failed.

Seeing this, Yuria asked Lee Solda with a trembling voice.

“Uh…why…why is this… ”

“It’s the life you saved.. so.. I want you to take the last one.”

“… ..”

Lee Sol-da speaks in a calm voice with a soulless smile.

In response, Yuria grabbed the dagger in front of her with trembling hands.

As someone who sold iron ore, she could tell at once that the quality of the dagger was quite good.

If you pierce the heart with this… it will surely end Isolda’s life.

With her own hands and no one else’s.

After her parents died, she would finally be able to do what she had always wanted to do.

“… .”

Yuria gripped her sword tightly with trembling hands.

In front of her eyes was Isolda, who was standing quietly with her eyes closed.

The figure of a wicked woman calmly waiting for death with a shadowed face

Looking at this, Yuria finally made up her mind and slowly raised her dagger.

And..

-“Pak!”-
