31 – Triang Village (2)

* * * *

In the pitch-black darkness, someone might be frightened by the unknown darkness.

In the forest, the boy who suffered from lycanthrope doesn’t even feel much emotion.

“Kkeuheugh…! That’s right!!! Didn’t you say yes!! You answered correctly this time, but why are you saying that…”

The man’s voice, now white from the continued interrogation, begged for mercy.

Where the hell did it go wrong?

How could this boy be able to interrogate people so cruelly and not leave a speck on his expression?

A few hours ago, when a subordinate heard a report that a boy and three girls had appeared in their area, he was the man who shouted cheers, saying, “What kind of rice cake is this?”

Moreover, according to the reports of subordinates,

They all look like they’re from the academy, and there’s only one boy with a weapon.

Even the academy, where the elite of the elites gather, will not be able to hold back a surprise attack in the dark.

Since they were several times their number, the man salivated, thinking that he would be able to devour the unripe fruits of the girls.

However, it was he who realized that it is always important to be vigilant and that it is important to be fully prepared after committing theft dozens of times.

He ordered his subordinates to prepare arrows coated with paralytic poison as well as flasks with poison for throwing.

It didn’t matter too much if the girl was struck by the poison in the flask and her skin melted a little.

Even so, the girls who went to the academy would be prettier than the average village woman, and their flesh would be chewy beyond compare.

That’s why it was more important to have a chance to win 3 girls than to lose that much.

But what kind of joke is this?

The night they thought was a good time for an ambush, that darkness.

Rather, it became the best time for the boy to demonstrate his specialty.

Everything they prepared had turned into mere children’s toys for the boy who had experienced the battle with the gigantic monster.

The moment they felt the smell of a campfire burning in their nostrils.

A boy appeared out of nowhere with the moonlight,

All of the subordinates, who had been grinning at the thought of coveting the girls, had their heads torn instead of the corners of their mouths.

The man couldn’t believe it.

It was because he knew that there was a fundamental difference between having the ability and actually doing it.

What do you do if you train hard under a knight, but when you actually kill someone, that one second of hesitation makes you run away.

These were the words the man always uttered while killing the men who tried to protect the woman.

But what is this?

Is that boy a terminal who became a born killer?

‘This guy is crazy.’

This was the thought of the man who had his eyes on the expression of the boy who began to interrogate him while cutting off his own skin.

A madman shouldn’t have done that, so the man answered the boy’s question faithfully even while crying out in pain.

Even so, the man was so desperately empty as the boy stabbed his thigh.

“…It must be quite disgusting.”

That was the reason.

The reason why he stabbed the man’s thigh even though he only answered the truth.

This work was a very necessary process for Grace now.

The first step is to let them know that evil deeds are so simple, yet the fruits are so sweet that the person who did evil never changes.

Grace succeeded in identifying all the pagans in the work, but

Not all of them were notified.

This is because only the number of people excluding the elderly and relatively young teenagers were notified to the party.

Because of that hypocritical sense of justice. because of conscience.

Emotional judgments, devoid of logic, kept the cultists from rooting them out.

Because of that, the pagans once again came to prominence and resulted in the death of innocent people.

That’s why it was necessary to inform Grace.

It’s good to throw away the thought that the wicked will repent and repent.

The fact that those who have tasted that easy and sweet fruit once may come to their senses only after tasting the terrible experience.

“Now do you understand, Grace? These guys are just a bunch of people who are looking for an opportunity to steal property and rape women.”

“…”

“Grace?”

Grace lifted her head and began to stare at me.

In her eyes looking at me, sympathy, pity, pity… I confirmed that it was full of those kinds of emotions.

“Why are you looking at me like that?”

It wasn’t a thief who was bleeding all over, so I couldn’t help but question the look in his eyes toward me.

* * * *

Grace was an orphan.

As soon as she was born, she was crying profusely with a little money and a note saying ‘I’m sorry’ posted at the entrance of the orphanage, which was the beginning of her life.

Even so, she was able to live without any inconvenience at all.

The first reason is that the country she was born in is a holy country.

And Seongguk was a country that, according to the country’s policy, was providing a fairly substantial amount of money to the orphanage.

And the second reason was that her appearance was different from a young age.

The boys around her surrounded and protected her with her long-eyed eyes, soft and smooth cheeks, and her bright smile that seemed like a halo shone every time she smiled.

Looking at the boys covering her and blushing, Grace had one thought.

‘Something very round keeps lingering.’

What I said about the boys was right, but it wasn’t about their appearance.

To be precise, it was a story about a world only visible to Grace.

“What, what did you say Grace?”

“That oppa doesn’t like you, that’s a lie. Every time I see your face, something round moves!”

Upon hearing this, her older sister, who attended the same orphanage, told the director to take Grace and tell her in detail what she was seeing.

Other than that sister, I wondered if the child had some kind of mental illness.

But the more I listened to Grace’s story, the more I knew that Grace was not mentally ill.

“The person who wore the same thing as that older brother…”

The commonality of the objects Grace spoke of.

That is, they were people who suffered from an extremely extreme love affair, or people who are still suffering from it.

In response, the director of the orphanage urgently called in a priest.

With the suspicion that a resident of the Holy Land would have, perhaps, that Grace’s power was due to something sacred.

Since Seongguk was responsible for managing and supervising the orphanage, it did not take long for priests to be dispatched.

Soon after, the priests took Grace, who was still young, and as a result of asking and examining her, they discovered a surprising fact.

“This child can see the movement of the soul.”

Her ability wasn’t just a lie detector.

She was just letting people know that she had seen people’s spirits fluctuate to and fro whenever they felt something strong.

However, since most of the strong emotions of people are on the surface, Grace’s ability was not used much compared to its versatility.

Very few people can completely hide their anger.

So was love.

That’s why Grace’s abilities are most helpful… There was usually only one case that was more useful than that.

To identify the feelings of a person who is insecure by telling a lie.

And since this was the ability related to faithfulness among the most important faithfulness and benevolence in the kingdom, Grace left the orphanage shortly after.

“Besides, this child…has an unusual level of divine power.”

It was an opportunity for Grace to leave the orphanage at a young age and learn divine magic while growing up in a church.

And thanks to that, the character Grace was created.

He grew up among priests and nuns due to the size of his divine power that could not be compared with children of his age.

She has always been loved by those around her because everyone around her has treated her with respect for her beautiful looks.

Due to the characteristics of Seongguk, which always emphasizes faithfulness and kindness,

Although priests and nuns sometimes tell lies in a light, joking tone, malicious lies from people are truly one of the hardest things to experience.

That’s why even though Grace had enough skills to enter the academy at the top of her class, she was able to have that kindness and justice.

That’s how the original story the boy knew began,

The sad love that threw Grace’s body due to the background the boy did not know began.

The reason was the sudden change in the environment surrounding Grace.

A good person no matter how you look at it. Unlike the life in the cathedral, where there were only good people even looking at it, the academy was full of people full of envy, jealousy, and malice.

Of course, even that was just a sentiment from her point of view, and it wasn’t that the academy was really full of bad guys.

Since it was an academy that they entered after going through such high school, it was only the young students’ mind that they wanted to become better than anyone else.

However, even that was too much stimulation for her, and the continued stimulation caused physical and mental fatigue.

It is safe to say that it was fate that a man named Ian Cedric, who boasted of the extremes of goodness, appeared in front of her out of nowhere.

Then, she followed Ian around like a baby bird following its mother.

At such times, Ian’s goodness and justice made her feel irresistibly comfortable in a foreign country away from her hometown.

That’s how the girl’s love began, and the end would have a terrible ending.

If you hadn’t witnessed with your own eyes the form of a soul you’ve never seen before, where two souls coexisted in one body out of nowhere.

And if you didn’t know that the feelings of those two souls were only for one person… The girl would have met a terrible end.
