Chapter 891 – 100 Days – The End of the Knights of the Zodiac
“Cough…”
The Commander of the Zodiac Knights, spitting out bright red blood, looks at the sky with blurred eyes.
Even though her appearance had changed so much, the sky of Holympia, which had been completely black and filled with red storms, was still disgusting to her.
“Damn… It ended up like this…”
She laughed cruelly, unable to breathe properly due to the blood flowing from her nose and mouth.
Born from the seed of the Royal Mistress, the god of life, there was only one thing she could do from the moment she was born.
Giving birth to Venus Holympia’s child. To create the ultimate successor who will complete the task as Jupiter Holympia wishes.
Other than that, no one expected her to accomplish anything great, and not even she thought she could do it.
“I will kill you… I will throw you away… I will definitely kill you… Furthermore, I will chew your flesh and eat it…”
The Zodiac Knight Commander muttered like an ant crawling, and there was still a burning anger and hatred in his heart.
Honestly, she wanted to kill Jupiter Holympia if she could, but that was impossible.
So she decided to take her anger out on her princess. Although she was not the one who created him, she was the reason.
“Damn… Damn… Damn…”
Vomiting pitch-black blood, the Commander of the Zodiac Knights tries to get up somehow, but cannot.
Even at this very moment, her body was endlessly regenerating with the magic and vitality given by the discarded ‘sisters’ who were born from the same seed, but there was a limit.
Even at this moment, when the jewels and magic stones created at will on his pure white skin spread like scales all over his body, the Commander of the Zodiac Knights only shed tears and a burning desire for revenge.
“I’m going to kill you… I’m going to kill you…”
The witches who looked at her pitifully stood next to the leader of the Zodiac Knights as she vented her anger.
“Poor thing.”
“There must have been a way to kill Jupiter Holympia.”
“Ah, that couldn’t have been possible. It would be quite difficult to point a sword at the being that created you.”
The Zodiac Knight Commander sheds tears at the sound of their cool-headed voices, not ridicule.
Who didn’t know there was no such method?
Since I couldn’t do anything, I took my anger out on the princess.
“Pityful thing.”
“There are limits to regenerating the body. Oh, my.”
“Even with our own strength, we can’t give new life.”
“Because he was born from the beginning with the power of the old gods, gained flesh through magic, and gained destiny through magic.”
The Commander of the Zodiac Knights looked at the witches who talked as if they knew everything with resentful eyes.
She wanted to move her hands and twist her neck and bite her sweet breasts to restore her vitality, but she wasn’t allowed.
Because this was the fate of the Commander of the Zodiac Knights.
“How is your condition?”
“Oh… Should I be honest with you, our little princess?”
The one who appeared with Walburga, who had a lively voice, was Venus Holympia, the princess whom the Commander of the Zodiac Knights so desperately wanted to kill.
“Even if Arisa wasn’t resting like she is now, it would be impossible to save this child.”
“According to Walburga’s explanation, didn’t you say that the sisters are endlessly sharing life and magical power?”
“No matter how much water you give to a seed that has already withered, nothing will bloom.”
The princess looked down at the leader of the Zodiac Knights with her eyes filled with sadness.
“Ha… Haha, ha… Did you come… To laugh at me?”
The leader of the Zodiac Knights, whose face looked exactly like Hedone’s, laughed, with dark blood dripping from her nose.
The princess shook her head without answering.
The body of the Commander of the Zodiac Knights, who had the same face as Hedone whom I truly loved, was twisted hideously.
The flesh was torn, and internal organs were sticking out to the extent that it was impossible to tell where the shoulder started and where the arm started.
Her body was completely in tatters due to the witches’ constant attacks, and the gaps in her skin were being filled with endlessly growing magic stones and gems.
“You are a very beautiful being.”
That’s why the princess said that the leader of the Zodiac knights was beautiful.
“On my dying day… I guess I’m planning on committing a crime…”
The Zodiac Knight Commander snorted.
Her damaged skin was covered with scales made of gems and magic stones, and she was beautiful without needing to lie.
“Yes… Do that… Rape me… Rape me who fought bravely on the battlefield… Rape me…”
The leader of the Zodiac Knights scoffed and glared at the princess.
“Because that’s you… You pretend to be nice, but in the end… You’re obsessed with pussy… A rapist… Trash…”
The princess slowly got down on her knees after looking at the leader of the Zodiac Knights, who was coughing up blood from her mouth.
“Little princess.”
“Commander of the Zodiac Knights. Do you have a name?”
The Zodiac Knight Commander blinks at the unexpected question.
“To give someone like me a name… Ha, haha… I’m going to humiliate them until the end of my dying day…”
“You will be Hedone’s older sister.”
The princess knelt down and tightly held the hand of the leader of the Zodiac knights, who had turned into jewels, and made eye contact with her.
“What are you doing…”
“This is the only thing I can do for the sin that caused you to be born.”
“What are you doing?”
“Will you allow me to love you just for this moment?”
The Zodiac Knight Commander smiles at the friendly voice.
“You’re saying you’re going to commit it eventually…”
“Is that possible? I can’t heal you, and neither the witches here, nor Elaine nor Arisa can heal you.”
The princess, who was once again spitting out her darkened blood, held the hand of the leader of the Zodiac knights tightly and led her towards her body, making eye contact with her.
“You are dying. So, I will do what you wish.”
“Ha… On the topic of hypocrites…”
“If you wish, I will kill you with my own hands for a quick death. If you want to spend the moment your breathing slowly dies in the arms of a warm person, I will do so. If you wish to kill me right now, even at this very moment…”
The princess carefully grabbed a dagger that had fallen near her and placed it in the hand of the leader of the Zodiac Knights.
“Even so…”
“Ha, haha… So stupid…!”
As soon as the sword was in her hand, the leader of the Zodiac Knights plunged his sword into the princess’s heart with all her might.
“Woe… Princess…!”
Ceres was surprised, but the princess only furrowed her eyebrows and did not throw away her sword.
“Die… Please die… I mean die…”
The leader of the Zodiac Knights, who screamed in tears, ended up crying while half-cuddled in the arms of the princess.
Even when she had the chance, she could not kill the princess.
“I am… My name is… My name is…”
Spitting out her blood from her mouth, the leader of the Zodiac Knights holds the princess’s dress tightly with her hands that have turned into jewels.
Because her life was over here, her body was cooling down quickly.
“… Hedone…”
Hedone spoke, spitting out dark blood.
“… Hedone.”
“Ah… Venus… Holympia…”
With her hazy eyes, Hedone pressed her hand to the princess’s chest.
“I am… The princess… The princess Venus…”
“Speak slowly.”
“… I knew… I didn’t do anything wrong… But… I had no choice but to do this…”
Hedone looked up at her princess with eyes devoid of any light.
Her princess held Hedoné’s body in her arms with both her hands. Blood was pouring out of her chest, but Hedone’s entire skin had turned into a jewel, and she was completely white and naked, even without the armor she was wearing.
“I… I feel so unfair…”
“How unfair it must have been to not even see the woman who was the reason you were born.”
“Ah… Princess Venus… Is such a warm person…”
Hedone, who even the tears flowing from her eyes have become a jewel, somehow moves her hand and caresses the princess’s cheek.
The hand that the princess felt was nothing but cold, but she did not reject it.
Even in her last moments, she did not abandon the woman who plunged the knife into her chest.
“Why did I… Want to kill you…”
“Isn’t it because the flame of anger you harbored has now faded?”
“Ah… Princess Venus… What if…”
Hedone, who let out her warm breath, looked at the princess with her darkened eyes, eyes that had become a single jewel, and spoke.
“… When you said let’s fight together… For the empire where the sun never sets…”
“If you had held my new hand… I think we would have had a slightly different fate.”
“Ah… Even at that moment, all I thought about was killing you… Killing you… Killing you…”
Hedone, now cold, touches the princess’s cheek one last time and speaks.
“Princess Venus…”
“Hedone.”
“Please take my heart… Please take the heart of this ugly Hedone who only wanted to kill you…”
“If you wish…”
The princess nodded and placed her forehead against Hedone’s to give him a little more warmth.
“Ah… Her sisters will know the feelings that the ugly sister found out. So… Please…”
Hedone whispers in a faint voice.
“Please use my heart to your heart’s content… And love Hedone… My brother… More…”
Before he could finish his words, Hedone’s body, which had become a gem and a magic stone, was crushed.
Before the princess could hug her tightly, she was crushed into powder and scattered into small fragments on the floor.
“Hedone…”
Hedone’s body was crushed and disappeared.
The part of the body that had been reduced to powder, and the heart that the princess had hoped for until the last moment, remained in the princess’s hands.
“… Please forgive me for finding out about your situation too late.”
Speaking in a whisper, the princess pulled her heart strongly with both hands and buried it in her chest.
“Even Emperor Jupiter would never have thought something like this would happen.”
Hedone’s heart, which the princess embraced, took on a transparent and clean appearance and began to emit its rainbow light.
When that light reached the sky. The princess could hear.
The sound of countless sisters crying and sobbing.
