Chapter 95 Fate · Future - Two (II)

The scene shifted again, the girl known as Marlina sat in front of a dressing mirror, staring at her reflection.

She appeared so fragile and helpless, but no matter how delicate she seemed, her gaze remained resolute.

All of this was seen by Seraphina.

"Marli..."

The girl who was observing all this could only utter her sister's name in a weak and pale voice.

"Seri..."

As if responding to her, the girl in front of the mirror whispered softly:

"I will save you, I will definitely... get you out of this hell, believe in me."

She seemed to be speaking to Seraphina, and also reassuring herself.

"Ansel..." Seraphina stared blankly at Marlina, who was making a vow, "What was I doing at this time, and what did I do after this?"

"..." Ansel hesitated for a moment, "Seraphina, you need to understand one thing, these are only your original future, not the present, what will happen in the future, it no longer exists, so—"

"What the hell am I doing!"

Seraphina roared in rage, "Did I do nothing but enjoy Marlina's protection!"

Ansel sighed, "It's worse than that, I can only say, if you want to see, be prepared."

Seraphina, dressed in a red and black uniform, hid a woman in a concealed cellar, then stood up amidst the increasingly close footsteps.

"Hey, wild dog, is there no one else?"

"There's no one else, and, I warn you, if you call be by that name again, I'll break your legs!"

"Tsk." The man in the same red and black uniform as Seraphina sneered, "Then I'm really scared, get out of the way."

Seraphina's eyes tightened, "What are you going to do?"

"What am I going to do? See if you've done anything stupid again." n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

The man walked over with an expressionless face, "Last time you let that baron's kid escape, our team not only got nothing, but also got whipped thirty times by the lord, and you got away with nothing... Heh, it's great to have a favored sister, or did you sell yourself?"

"Bastard..." Seraphina drew the short knife from her waist, her dark red eyes filled with a ruthless and violent determination, she said word by word, "If you dare, say it again."

"Thank... thank you for your mercy..."

When the scene changed again, the girl named Marlina had lost her spirit, her pupils were pitch black.

But even so, Marlina's heart still held that belief, the belief that even if her own life was shattered, even if greater suffering was in front of her, she had to realize it.

She murmured softly, emotionlessly, mechanically:

"I have to get Seri... out... I must... get Seri... out..."

The arrival of the severe cold wave did not alter its course. This time, however, without Ansel's proposal, countless people perished in the Red Frost territory due to the harsh cold. And this... this was Seraphina's sole opportunity.

Her only chance to escape from the Red Frost Manor, the city of Red Frost, and even the Red Frost territory itself. On the day the cold wave struck, a vehement dispute erupted between Seraphina and Marlina. "Marlina, what on earth are you saying? Why should I obey that swine's commands? Do you know what he wants me to do?" Seraphina bellowed, "He wants me to rob, to steal, to kill! To murder innocent people, the elderly, children, women! Do you have any idea how repulsed I feel, how much I want to die when I do these things? Why must I do them... I don't want to do them anymore!"

Marlina, clad in a purple off-shoulder gown, casually responded, "Have you finished?" "You..." Seraphina was livid. She forcefully slapped the lit cigarette from Marlina's hand, shouting furiously, "Marlina, what has become of you? Does the life of a rich lady make you this happy? Have you forgotten the life we used to lead? Look at yourself now, look at your attitude in front of that man... How could you change like this!"

"And what's the alternative?" Marlina retorted, "Should I yell at him like you, and then we both get executed the next day?"

"I..." Seraphina was momentarily speechless. She gritted her teeth, staring intently at Marlina. After a long silence, she finally softened. "Marli, please don't do this..." She pleaded, "I'll find a way, I'm already trying to find a way. I'll get you out of here, please stop degrading yourself like this, please... I will succeed."

Marlina smirked, taking another cigarette from the box on the table. "So, what have you done, Seraphina?" she asked softly.

"I... I'm trying to find a way, Marlina, you have to believe me. I'm very capable, there are only a few of his guards who can defeat me now, it won't be long... That scoundrel won't be a match for me, I can definitely help you escape—"

"Enough, Seraphina." Marlina interrupted her, lighting her cigarette. She exhaled a cloud of smoke nonchalantly, "I want to stay here."

Seraphina was stunned. She stared blankly at her sister, obscured by the smoke, and forced a smile, "Mar-Marli, you're joking with me, right?"

"Are you still a child, Seraphina?" Marlina countered, "I've had enough of our past life. Now, here, lord can give me the best. Why should I leave with you?"

"..."

She ignored the stunned Seraphina, flicking her cigarette and scattering sparks, "As for you, do whatever you want. I don't care, as long as you don't disturb me and lord."

Enraged, Seraphina slapped Marlina, sending her cigarette flying. The scene... was eerily familiar. "Marlina! I won't consider you my sister anymore!" The young girl yelled, standing up to leave, but she stumbled and fell due to a sudden wave of exhaustion.

"Seraphina, he has wanted to enjoy you for a long time, so I added something to your tea earlier." Marlina said, flicking her cigarette. She leaned down and whispered in Seraphina's ear, "For my sake, and yours, behave yourself."

With that, she blew a puff of smoke in Seraphina's face. "Mar...lina..." Seraphina, drained of strength, glared at Marlina with an almost inhuman rage and hatred, "You... you... Ahh!!!" She roared, her previously weak body suddenly filled with a violent strength, as if the effects of the drug had suddenly worn off.

The enraged wolf lashed out, gripping Marlina's throat tightly, her dark red eyes devoid of reason. But when she met Marlina's dull eyes, her pupils trembled. The howling wolf harshly pushed away her sister, who was no longer the person she once knew, and crashed through the window, disappearing into the blizzard brought by the severe cold wave.

"Cough... cough..." Marlina, huddled in a corner, coughed incessantly. In the cold wind-filled room, she shivered and took a drag from her cigarette. The last glimmer of light in her eyes was extinguished. "Don't come back, Seraphina. Heh, heh heh..." The woman laughed cruelly and masochistically. "Don't disturb my beautiful life."
