The crow's cry became clearer and louder.

Adele could even hear the sound of wings flapping.

She did not escape.

In other words, at this time, he had forgotten to escape, Adele just stood there, holding [Lupas] in his arms tightly.

Immediately afterwards, she could see the crows.

A crow with only blood-red eyes is flying out from the dark passage behind it, flapping its wings!

The feathers of these crows are pure black, but they seem to have a dangerously penetrating green luster.

There is obviously no light in the passage, but this strange and terrifying crow can be seen very clearly. Sacrifice as wanbar.net Sacrifice as

The crows opened their mouths, howled, flapping their wings and dashed towards Adele.

Little Adele, who had been terrified, stood there, just holding [Lupas] tightly, neither dodge nor dodge.

However, the crow's movements stopped about half a meter away from Adele.

The crows with red eyes and green feathers hovered directly in the air without flapping their wings in a very strange state.

After that, they began to twist and weave together in a messy manner, until no specific shape could be seen.

Those feathers glowing with terrible green fell to the ground.

The twisted flock of crows continued to merge, and soon became a man in a robe.

This seemed to be an adult man, his robe was the same as the feathers of a crow, a dangerous green glowing in the black.

The man's face was completely covered by the hood, and his vision in the passage was dim. Adele couldn't see what the other person looked like at all.

"who are you?"

Little Adele held [Lupas] and took a step back. It seemed that she finally remembered that it was time to escape at this time.

It's just that she can't run away anymore.

"Me?" the man under the hood said, a husky, magnetic middle-aged man's voice:

"Am I? I have many names. But now, I am the follower of death, but maybe someday soon, maybe a long time later, I will be death itself."

The tone of the man's statement was unusually calm, and at the same time it seemed so cold that there was no emotion.

Adele didn't understand the other party's words, holding [Lupas] and continuing to retreat.

"Yeah. Little girl, give this back to you."

The man under the hood didn't seem to care about Adele's actions, and suddenly preached like this.

Then he shook his hand covered by the robe, and took out a simple-looking, very ordinary-looking long sword—

[Pale justice].

"What happened to... my brother?" Adele looked at the familiar long sword, his pupils widened and his voice trembled.

"Ah, is the boy who just held this sword your brother?" the man said, "Sorry, I may be a little too used to the killing here."

The man with the hood said [sorry], but there was still no emotion in the words, and his tone was calm as cold and piercing ice.

"Kill...you say to kill...my brother, my brother doesn't know you. Ho...why are you, woo...why..."

Little Adele hugged the doll in her arms tighter, as if this could bring her a sense of vain and security. Her body trembled, and tears poured out from the corners of her eyes.

Facing the man who was incarnation of the crow in front of him, who spoke terrifying words in an extremely calm tone, Adele couldn't even generate sad emotions normally, it was just fear.

Fear deep in the bones.

"Why, it's just a whim." The man said, "I suddenly felt that before the day I turned back to death itself, I might need a new weapon for self-defense. Your sword is very good."

His tone is still calm.

It is because of this cold and calm tone that his words seem inexplicably true, as if this man, the attack on the Renault family was really just a whim.

He doesn't care at all.

Adele's heart beat violently.

She didn't understand, she couldn't understand at all.

The man in the robes saw that Adele did not accept [Pale Justice], so he leaned his sword against the wall of the passage.

Little Adele said, "Why give it back to me, you said what you want."

"I don't have to do it. Moreover, giving it back to you is just a whim. I didn't say it, right, girl, you are a bit like my daughter." The man just said.

His tone remained the same, flat to almost cold, but when he talked about the word [daughter], he barely had a little fluctuation and change.

Adele shuddered as he looked at the long sword leaning against the corner.

What the man said, even this nine-year-old girl could not accept.

What is [on a whim]?

why?

Why?

When Adele looked up again, the man who had brought her deep bone fear had disappeared.

The entire underground passage was completely silent, and even the first frog croak was inaudible.

...

Little Adele dragged [Pale Justice] with one hand and [Lupas] with the other, and walked towards the fortress along the passage stupidly.

Along the way, she seemed to have met the people who accompanied her into the underground passage.

The knight, the butler, the maid, and her brother...

Little Adele didn't know how much time he had spent, or how he got out of the underground passage.

But when she returned to the fort, there was only silence in the house.

Everywhere you can see the guards and servants lying on the ground, just like the people in the passage.

They don’t have any scars, and their expressions are not painful. Instead, they appear to be extremely calm, but Adele knows ~lightnovelpub.net~ they are all dead...

The knight, the butler, and the maid, like her brother, were all dead.

Little Adele continued to drag the sword and the rag doll, wandering aimlessly in the huge home until she found her uncle, mother, and father.

Patter.

[Pale Justice] and [Lupas] both fell to the ground from Adele's hands. Minus bXWX

This girl, who was only nine years old, couldn't understand why something like this happened to her.

Why, everyone is gone?

"Only a whim."

The words said by the man encountered in the underground passage were so cold that people felt like they had fallen into an ice cellar, and it echoed in Adele's mind again.

Then, she stayed beside her father's body like this.

Weeping, and then until she loses her strength.

Fainted, and then slowly woke up.

It was not until how long it was before that priests dressed in Vatican costumes poured into the fortress of Renault's house.

However, in the huge fortress, the priests only found the earl’s little daughter.

She is the only survivor.

However, no matter what questions the priests asked her at the time, the girl had blank eyes and kept silent with a dull expression.

And before the priests took Adele away.

This nine-year-old girl will still bend down her tiny body that cannot control her trembling.

Under her body is a simple and incomparable long sword, and a rag doll that was originally very gorgeous and exquisite, but is now full of dirt.

The girl picked up the sword with a trembling hand.

Never touched a rag doll again. Mi He Mi
