Chapter 201: Rosa and her family's circumstances.

There was part of the Grooma Kingdom where gates on its own could deter many visitors!

This part naturally belonged to the nobles that won the special floor for themselves in coalition! These families were strong and from the top floors, so people obviously would take detours or just make sure to miss their households.

Within one of those, the handsome man with golden lightning lair on his head stood straight while keeping his eyes on the similarly golden sun.

His hair was indeed like that and its luster seemed to fight against those sunrays.

Embraced by nothing but silence, Mervase faced the unreachable with his eyes while smiling faintly. He just heard the news of his younger sister going for the new mission with the person he had seen not too long ago.

Though Kyoya had his own charm, this charm worked on those who had something in common with him. It could be either faint interest or just killing intent, but Mervase had never thought about Kyoya as someone significant.

Even after learning about his time with his younger sister and that the husband could somewhat influence her.

For him, Rosa was already dead and even more!

"He is back."

Mervase whispered to himself out of sudden.

His voice was empty, eyes slowly losing the challenging glint as he turned around. With steady steps, the eldest son of Nure Family made his way to the house's yard where the returned took a seat to rest.

This returner was naturally the head of this family and Mervase's father.

After going through the wounded and exhausted family guards, Mervase finally settled himself behind his father. He neither sat down or parted his lips, he himself just blended with the wooden house and yard whose only talk was to let out small lightning sparks from time to time to tease the silence.

The nature itself here was filled with the belief of their lord, looking both pure and innocent!

However, Mervase and the family head were aware what kind of emotions hid behind this belief.

"Your disappointment… It has to be so huge I want to feel it."

"You wouldn't be able to hold it."

The disappointment Mervase spoke about was connected to the youngest son's death and the black court. While the new object appearing in the Grooma Kingdom was indeed a huge challenge, the youngest son's death was something that could slice through father's heart!

It hurt even more after he began to feel the pressure from the eldest son.

Of course, at this point, even the most stupid person would be able to see that both of them were at bad terms. This kind of relationship was hidden from the rest of the world, but Mervase felt fate would soon reach out for him.

It was mainly due to the black castle and its court. He felt like it was his chance to take over the family and begin the new chapter.

A chapter where he would be the family head, the strongest one who wielded the sword.

"Why can't you wield the spear?"

"I was simply born to not wield it."

"Were you the one to kill Makron?"

"You should pay me some money for being such a good brother for him."

The Nure Household was the believers of lightning god and their main weapon was spear. It was a lightning spear that was the lightning bolt itself! Every opponent of this family thought about this spear like that in their last moments.

A loud and powerful lightning bolt that heavily rends the flesh.

Unfortunately for the family head, there were two descendants that took another path which was swordsmanship. Both Mervase and Rosa were pulled by the weapon's looks and grace from their early days!

It was inevitable!

Just as inevitable as the Lightning Flesh Weapon technique.

The spear that was called the right hand of Nure Household's Lord was actually the spear made with the sacrifice. This sacrifice was exactly the technique that swallowed up the bodies of Nure Household's descendants. The current family head's lightning spear was rumored to be made from the highest quality lightning material from another world pillar yet it was just a base.

A base for the sacrifice that devoured Mervase's aunts and mother.

When he got to know about this, Mervase's heart sank and he naturally raised his sword at his own father, but to no avail. The gap was just too big and he back then was only fifty years old. Back then, Mervase experienced the torture from his father, but it was the reason as to how he became aware of the Lightning Flesh Weapon technique!

It might've been fate, but he indeed learned this technique! Maybe the cruel god pulled some strings from the boredom, but Mervase was far from being happy! He learned the truth about his god and family, then… a few years later, his father used clever words to keep Mervase on his side.

"Rosa's talent is higher than yours."

If Mervase were to not use this technique, then he would one day get beaten by Rosa in terms of climbing and even status in the whole kingdom! Her talent was far better and luckily enough, the family head used the same teachings as if Mervase was truly the heir to his family.

He taught Rosa to enjoy the killing so that her bloodline and killing intent would be passed to the weapon. Of course, he never planned to make Mervase the heir nor to pass him this technique. This meant that both of them were left alone when it came to growing up in strength, but the stars aligned!

And Mervase himself never really wanted to use Rosa as sacrifice, but as more time passed, he realized that it was indeed the way for them. It was just how the belief of their lord was… Thus, Mervase plotted to stop Rosa's growth.

When she hit the 20th floor strength as an amazing and outstanding woman, Mervase made Rosa hear the talk between him and father. He used many means to trick his father's senses and spit out the truth about the lord, their god.

This made Rosa join the adventurer party where she could just live and smile from time to time. However, she never felt like getting stronger as it would be pointless anyway. There was an eldest son with the technique and… the youngest whose fate would be even better if he managed to survive! She was left alone and her path was also different one, so no one would let out their hands to hold her and support!

All those feelings were hidden deep inside her heart, but Mervase himself had many things hidden within!

One of these was that he… made a connection with the black court.

He just needed a fate to reach out for him and help him use this connection to overthrow his family's principles.

Since nothing could be done with the lord's belief as he was mere mortal, Mervase could only like what was available for him.

He liked his household's yard, houses and the surname.

And he swore to properly control all of these!

"I heard she went on a mission with a newcomer."

"What about it?"

"I would die out of laughter if she managed to escape you, that is. It would be also funny to see her going against you."

"There is no way for her to go against me. The gap is way too big. Besides, there is no one who can heal her heart."

"I wonder what you have used to break her heart."

"A truth, that is."

-

Somewhere deep on the 19th floor…

"Look, titty bitch. My design is far better."

"Quality is far worse, you meant, blonde bitch! BB!"

"What quality? My clothes are from higher floors and reworked by blacksmith believers from the Grooma Kingdom to suit my level and strength. Thus, it's better."

"Go beg your daddy for more money for these, then, BB! We will go with the husband to the higher floors and get the best cottons with our hard work and love, right, the husband?"

"Yes, yes."

"You heard it, BB!"

"..."

'BB' was the new nickname for Rosa which was a shortened version of 'Blonde Bitch'. It seemed like Xaya took a huge liking to it as it also sounded somewhat weird. No one would call a woman 'BB' but here was Xaya, a yandere wife.

And she even challenged… BB!
