Chapter 649 – A. A ? ─ A Mother Loves Her Daughter
“You’re so good at saying ridiculous things like punishment! You’re a hologram after all! Don’t you think I don’t know that you can’t do any harm to us?!”
The princess spoke as if she was in awe and grabbed Ceres’ waist tightly.
『Vergilia, you really made a foolish child her pillar.』
With a small sneer, Ceres’ mother extended her hand to the princess.
Until this moment, the princess was looking at the other demons standing in the dark rather than looking at her hand. They were all kneeling, so it was clear that if they suddenly lunged or used magic, there would be a noise.
The princess thought that if she could understand such small actions, she would be able to avoid enemy attacks even if she could not use the power of the royal family.
─Pajijik, Pajijijik!
“What is this…?!”
It was only after seeing purple light emitting dangerously from the hologram’s fingertips that the princess realized.
The being in front of her is truly trying to punish Ceres with his own power. Rather than threatening in moderation!
“How is something like this possible?!”
The princess hurriedly hugged Ceres’ waist and evaded her body from the lightning that spewed out.
It seemed like she had surprisingly easily avoided it, but unfortunately she was mistaken.
─Fired! It’s so bad!
The lightning that hit the wall bounced as expected and flew towards the princess and Ceres. The princess, who could not have anticipated such an attack, stretched out her arms to block the lightning in order to at least prevent Ceres from getting hurt.
─Purrr!!! Buzz, buzz!
“Ah?! Ahhh! Tsk! Kkkk! Kkkk…!!!”
That was the worst choice. The princess, who thought it was just basic lightning elemental magic, immediately regretted it.
As soon as the lightning struck the princess, her entire body was struck painfully. Up to this point, I felt tremendous pain and suffering, but the problem came next.
“Gagging! Gagging! Gagging… Gagging! Gagging! Gagging…!!!”
─Beep beep beep!!
The devices attached to the princess’s neck, ankles, and wrists began to tighten, making loud noises.
The princess suddenly felt like she was being strangled and grabbed her neck, shaking her arms and legs.
But there was no way for her to escape the pain. I raised my fingernails and tried to somehow grab her necklace and pull it off, as if digging into the flesh of her neck, but she tore the flesh for no reason, and blood poured out! She just leaked out and there was no way to rip off her necklace.
“Ugh, huh! Ugh…! Ugh…!”
“Uh, mother…!! Please stop!! Because you’re doing this! I heard what you said—”
Ceres, who was shaking the princess’s body lying on the ground, stopped her words.
Because she saw her mother with her hands pointed at her, and she knew better than anyone else what that meant.
─Flash! Puzzle!!
Light emanates from the magic circle once again, like lightning in the sky. The magic that hit Ceres’ body caused so much pain that white smoke spewed out from her body, and the princess could only look at Ceres as he coughed on the ground.
“Ke, Ceres…! Gag, Ceres…! Ugh!!!”
The princess, who had grabbed and pulled on her necklace several times, was barely able to breathe in and out.
It’s not because I ripped off her necklace. After the loud ringing sound, her necklace stopped working and returned to its original size.
“Ugh, ah… Uh, mother… Ah, ah! Ugh…!!”
Ceres, holding his head with both hands, eventually falls to his knees.
As if her daughter’s screams were nothing, the being called mother by many demons lightly moved her fingers.
『Vergilia. I have given you so much. You don’t seem to know how precious the blood flowing through your body is and how valuable it is to our humanity.』
“Mother, ah, ah…! Ugh, huh… Ugh, ugh…!”
『My foolish daughter. There is nothing sadder than a mother tying a bell around her child’s neck, but it is natural for a parent to worry when she sees her child playing by the river. 』
“I… Will never, ugh…! Just like mom wants…!”
Ceres trembled, holding the ground with both hands, bleeding from her nose and drool from her mouth.
The princess wanted to get up and help somehow, but the devices wrapped around her wrists felt like huge rocks, so she couldn’t get up.
『Daughter, you will become a child who listens well to me from now on.』
“Ugh, ugh…! Ugh!”
『Starting today, you will engrave on your body one clear and obvious fact.』
“Ugh, ugh… Ah, ahhh…!!”
White smoke began to billow out from behind Ceres.
It was a magic circle with a letter engraved on it that seemed to the princess to be absolutely evil. The princess felt such intense anger that her whole body trembled as she carved her magic circle on her beloved daughter’s back.
‘Ceres’… Wow! Are you saying the magic circle behind your back is a secret?! Damn it…! Isn’t it okay if I tell you about these things!?’
The princess clenched her molars, blaming herself for having met her in her distant future.
『Vergilia, keep in mind. You are my daughter.』
『You will become a child who listens well to me.』
『You will come to hate humans.』
『Vergilia. My excellent daughter. Keep this in mind. I am always loving you.』
─Page crackles and flashes!!!
“Ah, ahhh!! Ugh, ah… Haha, ah… Ugh…!”
Ceres’ body trembled slightly as it let out a long, long scream.
“Ke, Ceres… Cough, Ceres?!”
On the back of Ceres, which was spouting pure white smoke, the magic circle that was clearly visible when the demon was shown appeared and disappeared repeatedly like a mirage.
『I’m looking forward to it. My daughter Make her mom happy.』
“… Yes, mother.”
Ceres staggered to his feet and grabbed the sickle lying on the ground.
─Squeak, squeal
The princess felt fear at the sound of her sharp scythe being dragged across the floor.
“Ke… Ceres…?!”
But the princess was surprised for another reason.
Ceres, dragging her scythe towards the bed, was crying.
She knew what she was going to do from now on.
‘Oh, this…! Who would have thought there would be a worse parent in this world than Abama…!!!’
The princess pursed her lips and tried to move her arms and legs with all her might.
‘Ceres too…! Damn it! Ceres is working hard too! A little…! A little! ‘Move!’
Ceres eventually came in front of the princess, who was trying to move her arms with all her body’s strength.
“Haaa… Ha, haa… Venus… Ah…”
Ceres, who looks like he’s about to burst into tears, grabs the scythe with both hands and raises it high.
“Ha, Ceres… Ugh! Ugh… I, haa… I don’t hate you…”
The princess smiled.
This was something that could not be helped.
Who in the world would think that parents would try to control their children like puppets? No, are you expecting to actually control it?
“Ah, ah… Ugh, ugh!! Ahhh…!!!”
Ceres, emitting purple light from his back, trembled and eventually swung the scythe he was holding with both hands.
─Sigh! Push! Bye! Pgak!
The sharp swing of the sickle causes bright red blood to gush out from the bed.
Like a miner swinging a pickaxe to find a vein of gold, Ceres’ scythe swung vigorously, and only when bright red blood stained the bed and seeped onto the floor did he stop his arm.
“Ah, ahhh… Ah, ahhh…! Ugh, ah… Ahhh…?!”
Ceres, who was shedding tears, couldn’t even speak properly and threw his body down.
“Oh my, you killed the bug that was playing as her friend with your own hands, my lady.”
“Tsk tsk tsk… What should I do if you dirty the bed you’ve been rolling around in with bugs so much?”
The sneer heard in the dark eventually causes Ceres to drop the scythe he was holding.
“Ah, ah… Ah, no… I, I…”
Ceres, covered in bright red blood, looks alternately at the princess sprawled on the bed and the ground.
She chose to let her body move as it pleased. There is no way she could kill her beloved Venus. So she just promised herself not to kill her…
“Ugh, ugh… Ugh… Ugh…!”
Covering her mouth with her sticky blood-stained hand, Ceres begins to vomit.
It has to be that way. Because in her bed was Paris, whom she cut into pieces.
“Ugh… Ah, ah… I, I… This, human…”
Trembling, Ceres falls to the floor.
“I hate humans… I hate humans… Ugh, wow… Humans are annoying… Humans… Ah, ah…!!”
Ceres is trembling as she clutches her black hair.
This is because he made eye contact with the princess lying on the floor. She hated herself so much that her mind began to fill with thoughts that she too should die.
“You shouldn’t have pulled a prank that you couldn’t handle from the beginning, young lady.”
The demon that snorted at her was still in the dark.
‘Ceres’ mother is…? Ugh! Shit! Didn’t she disappear as a hologram without even going to do her business?!
The princess clenched her molars. It was the worst feeling as she cried out in her bed and the blood seeped into her own body.
However, she did not want to stay still like a sheep being led to the slaughter, with her whole body shaking.
─Beep!
‘This sound…? Now, wait… Is it really broken?’
I don’t know the principle. But you can know the result.
The moment Paris’ sticky blood filled the ground touched the princess’s wrist, the mechanical device made a small sound and disintegrated.
‘Ha, indeed! There’s no way you can fill this device forever?! If the guy kicking it dies, it will take care of itself! Was that condition blood?! These cruel, unmatched bastards…!’
Even while thinking that, the princess regained her freedom and quickly spread her blood on her neck, wrists, and ankles with her right hand.
I’m crying! It broke her heart to see Paris’ blood gushing out of her bed, but she was so emotional that she didn’t want to throw her life away.
“Cough… Cough! You idiots…!”
The princess stood up trembling and grabbed Ceres’ scythe that was thrown to the ground.
“How did he get up… Now, wait! That guy’s restraints were released?!”
The demons in the darkness were startled and screamed.
Either way, the princess was targeting her demon, who introduced herself as ‘Satan’ from the beginning.
“Ve, Venus… Ugh I…”
She saw a trembling Ceres running towards her, but the princess didn’t care.
She grabs her scythe with both hands and swings it towards her Satan.
“Ha! I don’t even know how to swing a scythe…”
Satan laughs and then realizes. The princess had no intention of cutting with her sickle. From the beginning, her only intention was to throw herself at Satan. Quaaaaa! The scythe flew in and created a storm and simply cut Satan’s neck and upper body in half.
“Yes, Satan!!!”
The princess hugged Ceres with both hands, ignoring her panicked demons and running towards her.
I can’t stay here forever. The princess ran toward the terrace with all her might.
“Ah, ugh…! Venus! Ah, haaak! Let go. Let go! I… I want you… Ugh…!”
“Didn’t you come to hate humans?! I’m not human to begin with!”
The princess screamed loudly and jumped to the floor, holding on to her Ceres’ waist.
Countless lights began to follow the princess, but they were too slow.
─Crack! Crack! Crash!
It was all too easy for the princess, who had regained her royal power, to throw down her demons wearing a suit that seemed heavier than steel.
So the princess ran. She fled from the paradise created by Ceres. She ran like crazy, hugging her beloved, who was throwing her body into his own arms, as if he was having a fit.
“Huh! Huh! Ceres!! Ugh! Stay still! Haa…!!”
She ran desperately through the forest, jumped over the flowing river, and just ran straight. When the princess realized that no one was following her anymore, she stopped.
“Ha… Haa, ugh… Haa… Haa… Are you okay, Ceres?”
“Ugh… Ugh, Venus… I’m better… Ah, Lord… I didn’t want to kill you, I didn’t want to kill you!! I didn’t want to do something like this…!!!”
Ceres clung to her princess’s body, buried her face in her chest, and began to cry.
“Ceres… Calm down… I am here…”
The princess, patting her beloved Ceres on the back, realizes very slowly.
Cold. This place was so cold. The princess may have been naked, but it was so cold that white frost formed on her breath just by breathing in and out.
‘Isn’t there only one place in the empire that’s this cold?’
The princess, reminded of Galagon, the kingdom where Paris was born as a princess, had no choice but to close her eyes.
