| | |->-> Kate hurried to the bottom of the lookout tower and felt that it was necessary to be alone. She was tired of sitting by the central fire. Even the existence of Guerrerogan would not reassure her. Among so many busy adults, she feels lonely. For the first time, she realized that she does not know anyone in this world now, and she has no place in this world. The flame reminded her of the fire in Earl Klein Castle. The ladder creaked under her bare feet. She climbed the sentry as quickly as a monkey.

Bai En sat alone, looking at the darkness outside. The sun has long been set, like a blood stain on the horizon. A bigger moon floated to the sky. The silver light was washed down. A breeze hit Kate's cheeks, and a rustling voice sounded in the forest. Bai En looked at it like he was hypnotized, falling into his own dark thoughts. She ran quickly and sat cross-legged next to him.

"Bai En, I'm scared," she said. He looked down at her and smiled.

"Me too, little guy."

"Don't do this!"

"doing what?"

"Call me 'little guy'. Like Guerrerogan. He never calls other people's names, right? My name is Kate. You should call me that way."

Bai En smiled at her. "Okay, Kate. Can you do me a favor? This may be important to all of us."

"If I can."

"Tell me about your parents."

"I have no parents."

"Everyone has parents, Kate."

"Except me. Carl's wife Heidi found me in the basket, she always picks berries there."

Bai En smiled. "You were found under a bush of berries?"

"It's not funny, Bai En. They said there was a Banshee nearby. The villagers killed it. They also wanted to kill me, but Heidi wouldn't let them do that." Bai En tried to stretch his face. When he saw how serious her expression was, his joy disappeared.

"You are right. This is not funny"

"They took me in and took care of me. Now they are all dead."

"Does Karl and Heidi know who your parents are? Any ideas?"

"Why do you ask this, Bai En? Is this really important?"

"possible".

Kate recalled the night when Karl was drunk. He and Heidi thought she was asleep. She slipped into the kitchen to drink water and overheard their conversation. When she realized they were talking about her, she stayed on the other side of the door. That night's memories flooded my heart like a tide. She wanted to ask them more questions and what they meant, but she was too scared to ask. Now she realized that she would never have a chance.

"I heard them talk about a young girl in the castle with the same hair as me." Her name is Justin. She was probably a distant cousin of Earl Klein, a poor relative who came to live with the family. She disappeared a year before I was born. No one knows what happened to her. "

"I think I know." Bai En said softly.

A sound of footsteps approached the bottom of the tower. The ladder trembled, and Messner's head came out of the trap door.

"You are still here, Mr. Bai En. I'm here to take your place. Go down to have something to eat. You too, kid. Is there no trace of Rolf? He is missing."

"I didn't see anything," Bai En said.

"I don't know what happened to him."

——————

"What's your name?" Justin asked. The bearded man caught by her scouts spit at her. She nodded to Marlow Grayman. The unicorn raised his fist. The ribs were broken and there was a crack. The man's head hung down. If it were not for the two horned beasts supporting him, he would have fallen.

"What's your name?"

The man opened his mouth. Blood dripped from his chin onto his leather vest. Justin held out his hand and took some from his fingertips. She tasted it, feeling salty and warm, full of strength.

"Rolf," he said finally. At that time, Justin knew that no matter what she asked, he would tell her. She knew that it was not the rangers who killed the blind Trier's team. The tracker who survived the camp attack told her about the girl's guardian.

"There is a dwarf and a dark-haired man traveling with a little girl. Tell me about them."

"Go to your hell."

"I will ... eventually," Justin said. "But you will meet me there."

The man screamed because one of the horned beasts broke his shoulder. His body stiffened with pain. The muscles on his neck protrude like tight wires. Finally, stories about how he met dwarves, dark-haired men and girls in the forest rolled out of his chapped lips. At last the man stopped talking and stood in front of her, exhausted by his confession.

"Take him to the altar!" Justin ordered.

The man tried to struggle because they took him to the altar in Kazakitar. His efforts to escape were futile. The horns are too strong, too much. He cried when he saw what was waiting for him. When he saw the large stone pile and the black altar on top, he was more afraid than when he was captured by the horned beast. He must know what will happen next, Justin thought. The heads of Earl Klein and Chavez seemed to scare him most.

"No! Don't!" He screamed.

She carefully bound him and easily lifted him to the altar. The army gathered and looked forward to what was about to happen. When the moon broke through the clouds, she motioned for the drummer to start. Soon, the bass drum made a rhythmic sound, as slow as a heartbeat.

She stood on the pile of stones, feeling the power of slowly gathering. She looked at the face of an animal outside and below. They looked up, their eyes filled with anticipation. She drew her sword and raised it above her head.

"Blood for blood!" She shouted.

"Fight for the Throne of Skeletons!" The shouting answer was ripped from the throat of a hundred people.

"Blood for blood!"

"Fight for the Throne of Bones!" This time the response was even louder. Thunder thundered in the woods.

"Blood for blood!"

"Fight for the Throne of Skeletons!"

The blade fell, separating Rolf's ribs. She leaned forward and reached into the man's slimy gut with her hand wearing a handguard. She ripped the heart away and lifted it over her head, making a terrible sucking sound.

Somewhere, in a space other than space, in a time other than time, something moved and responded to her call. It flows inward and spirals upward from the outside. A red pulsating darkness gathered in the space above the altar. It flowed into the heart that she lifted above her head, and it started to beat again. She reached out her hand and put her heart back in the sacrificial chest.

After a while, nothing happened, and there was silence all around. Then, there was a scream in the throat of the thing that was once Rolf. The flesh of the corpse's chest flowed together and began to smoke. Then the body stood upright on the altar. Its eyes opened, and Justin recognized the man peeping out from inside. Her body was temporarily controlled by the spirit of her demon prince Kazakitar.

When flowing under the skin, smoke rises from the body. A scent of rotten and burnt meat mixed together, filling her nostrils. The thought and power contained in the immortal frame is shaping it into a new shape, a shape somewhat similar to the inhuman beautiful form of the devil prince. Justin knew that the body would burn out in a few minutes ~ lightnovelpub.net ~ could not control the energy in the body, but that's okay. She only needs a few minutes to talk to her master and seek his advice.

She quickly outlined what Rolf told her. "I'm going to this place and kill everyone there."

"Go ahead, my darling." The devil prince's lovely voice sounded like a bell from his rotten body. She once again felt the recognition and admiration she always showed in front of him.

"I am going to kill this girl. If the dwarf and that person want to protect her, I will dedicate their hearts to you."

"The best way is to kill them at the fastest speed. They are a fallen pair, ruthless and deadly. The dwarves carry a weapon made in ancient times and become the scourge of the gods. And the other ... they all Is a merciless killer. "

"The two of them are in fact dead. I am fully armed according to your prediction. No warrior can defeat me in battle. If you are telling the truth."

"Ask yourself, my lord's darling. You know what I tell you is the truth. You also need to know this-if you do this, immortality and a place among my lord's voters, it must be you Yes. "

"Will be successful."

"Then go with my blessings. Spread chaos and terror, don't leave the prey of your choice in the world."

The feeling that the devil prince was present disappeared. The corpse was planted into the soil, and it had begun to shatter into dust. Justin turned and signaled her troops to attack.
