Chapter 183

TL: Zimmings

The tattooed man staggered towards us.

“You’ve run away like a rat. Dirty bitch, you dare to use such tricks on me. But it’s futile. No one would be able to save you.”

“Shut up, Benedict.”

Lisette, no, Mom seemed to know him well. The man’s face distorted as she responded with a gentle tone.

“In the meantime, just keep your mouth…”

“You are still stupid even after all this time. Tell me again to close my mouth then. I might do something to your baby.”

“What?!”

I sighed and looked at my mother.

“I have warned you several times from ten years ago. If you irritate me one more time, who knows what I’ll do.”

“Y, you old man……!”

“Even my three-year-old son knows more words than you. You kept repeating that sentence over and over again. If you have a brain, please do what is called studying.”

‘Wow…’

From the moment I read the note my aunt kept, I noticed my mother’s extraordinary qualities, but in reality, she was a braver person than I thought.

The man’s face flushed red.

“Let’s see if you could say it again after I twist your neck!”

The man ran towards my mother.

However my mother was quicker, she kicked his crotch and ankles.

“Ugh…!”

Mom swept her long hair back and took her breath.

“If you threaten me with my child again one more time, you’ll suffer worse than that.”

“Crazy… this crazy bitch…!”

Boom-!!

Suddenly, there was a sound behind us.

My mother hesitantly looked behind.

Looking down at us from above the valley was the mage we saw with Benedict.

With his robe removed, the crest of Neliardism was shining on his chest.

Adrian saw him and muttered.

“…Cardinal Paul.”

When I heard his name, I shook my head.

“Paul?”

He was a man that even I, who grew up as a child of fate, had never seen before. Cardinal Paul worked for Pope Christian behind the scenes.

And-

‘He’s one of the most powerful cardinals.’

A monster-like man who was acknowledged for defeating an ancient monster from the highlands alone in the Holy War.

‘If it’s him, even if Adrian and I recovered our divine power, we couldn’t beat him.’

Mom hid me behind her back and yelled at Paul.

“Aren’t you tired of chasing us Paul?”

“If only you as the saint act properly, I wouldn’t go this far to chase you.”

“It’s only natural that I run away from a bunch of madmen like you guys. Scrap your plans! How many houses do you think are under here?!”

“A sacrifice is inevitable for the cause.”

My mother’s expression became anxious. The fire he made quickly spread to the wood. If it wasn’t extinguished, there would be many victims.

‘It must be winter, so each house must have stored oil.’

In addition, firestone is distributed to the people of the territories suffering from the cold during this period.

‘If it catches fire, it will immediately explode.’

Usually, real-time fire detection is carried out to prevent forest fires from rising in winter and touching firestones, but the detection tower cannot be operating properly in a chaotic situation due to the barrier.

“Please hand over the child, saint.”

When Paul spoke arrogantly, my mother embraced the baby and protected me behind her back.

“Would there be any mother who is willing to hand over their child?”

“You are a saint. What would the parents under this valley think when they see their children burning to death?”

“…….”

“You are a wise girl, so think carefully. We will take the child. As a saint, you can save many people just by us taking the child.”

“Paul!”

A cry echoed in the middle of the mountain.

“Madam…” Reina called her in bewilderment.

Mom’s hands were trembling. Because the lives of countless people were on her hands.

The fire was getting bigger and bigger, so mom was even more worried.

I gently grabbed my mother’s hand and whispered.

“It’s okay.”

“…….”

“I’m a courageous kid who finds joy in life even though I go through many hardships!”

As I spoke with a broad smile, my mother stared at me with tears in her eyes. Benedict, who had been waiting for this moment, got up and smiled eerily. He seemed convinced that my mom would never abandon the people as he had known my mother for a long time.

The mother, who had lowered her head, slowly raised her head after much contemplation and looked at Paul.

“I…”

There was a hint of disdain on her face. Seeing her expression, Paul asked.

“Yes, saint. The right choice-”

“No matter how much I think about it, I can’t give my child away.”

“What?”

My mother hugged the baby tightly.

“Go.”

“Mom?”

“Hurry, I’ll stop the fire!”

Reina, who realized the meaning of my mother’s actions, rushed to Benedict to buy more time for us.

“N, no.”

Mom looked at Adrian. After that, she whispered something to him as he grabbed something. Adrian understood that and nodded.

“Don’t worry.”

As soon as she smiled, Adrian hugged me.

“N, no. Let go of me!”

“We have to go.”

“No! Let go!”

Mom!

Mother-!!

I reached out to my mom as Adrian carried me away.

“No! I won’t go! My mom-!”

The newborn baby in his arms also burst out crying. As if she knew that she would never see her mother again.

***

Boom boom-!!

As soon as the barrier appeared on the back of Lisette’s hand, thunder rumbled in the sky.

Eventually, the dark clouds covered the full moon and rain began to fall.

[This idiot…!]

Some voices echoed in Lisette’s head.

[Bad bitch, scoundrel, rabid dog… you liar!]

“I’m sorry, Pur.”

[You promised to be my friend, and you said you’d never give up on us, we should’ve be together forever!]

[Stop it you idiot. The one who is suffering the most is Lisette.]

[…….]

Hearing their voices, Lisette lowered her head.

‘Ah, my friends.’

Lisette has always been a special person who was prophesied as soon as she was born.

The elders in the temple were excited to see the prophesied child after a long time.

If her bloodline was on their hand from generation to generation, the temple would be glorious for an eternity.

However, an unclean sentence was engraved on her shoulder when she was born.

The priests believed about this phropersied child, but they were a bit hesitant because of that one fact. So the child was left all alone.

The people in the temple have always been cruel like that.

By a stroke of luck, she met those pitiful that were tied on the temple’s etwal.

The angels inside the etwal spoke to her, whose heart was imbued with loneliness.

In the end, she escaped from the temple to save her friends.

One of the friends who was locked up in etwal said:

That’s stupid. Eventually, she will be caught by the temple and lead a more terrifying life than before.

‘You are wrong.’

Only after leaving the temple did her life begin.

She met a family who loved her, met a man who was willing to give his heart, and had three lovely sons.

And…

‘I met her, Leblaine.’

A child who always appeared in her dreams since childhood and experienced the same pain as her.

When she found out only this morning that the child in her dreams is her daughter, she felt happy yet sad at the same time because they would soon be separated again.

She had known about her from the beginning.

She is her dream and hope. She wanted to live like her, who kept being optimistic even though she experienced many hardships in life. She’s also bright and lovely, everyone around her always adored her.

‘There are many people who will love you without me.’

“Damn bitch!”

Benedict, who had just killed Reina, approached her.

And Paul, who jumped down the cliff, was also coming towards her.

‘I’m so happy to be able to give birth to you.’

Benedict’s sword struck her instantly. And a black stem from Paul’s hand came toward her neck.

“Madame!”

Lea and Cecilia could be seen running from afar.

“Ugh…!”

“The sinner who dared to steal God’s property.”

“Go into God’s arms.”

Benedict and Paul smiled eerily, and at the same time, Lisette laughed and raised an eyebrow.

“Did you forget? I’m the temple’s crazy bitch.”

“What?”

Lisette shouted as Paul frowned.

“I only need to do that.”

“This crazy…!”

“Let’s go together, trash!”

Boom-!

“Madame!”

“No!!”
