Chapter 159 As a Demon

[I’ll be back . ]

While she had been surprised at first, she was happy . It was the first time someone had shown her goodwill . No one had wanted her like that except for her nanny .

Jang Ye Ri placed her hand on her chest and began thinking . She felt like someone was hitting her from inside her chest . It was a strange feeling, and it was, of course, the first time her heart had beat at only a word .

‘I love him . ’

While she did not know much about the love, the thought came to her mind . They had not seen each other over a long period, and they only had communicated to each other through the ring after meeting on that they . She had only smiled when gaining information regarding him .

However, she now loved him . Not because he was a demon or the fact he had done many things for her . Jang Ye Ri did not know the reason . She had come to love him without realizing it .

If they met after everything was over, she would confess her past mistakes . If he accepted her after her telling her how dirty, vile, and evil she was, Jang Ye Ri would take a step towards him .

She shook her head and slowly walked the castle . While the bloody corridors and the sticky floor made her discomforted, she was used to it .

Jang Ye Ri did not find the sight strange, as she had been born in this imprisoning and ominous castle . She knew almost everything about this evil castle . The room where she and the slaves stayed, the room where guests were invited, and another room where the evil massacres occurred .

Jang Ye Ri wandered the castle and thought about what had happened to her in the past . Unlike those who did not remember their childhood, Jang Ye Ri clearly knew about her younger days . She could remember her mother’s face despite having seen her only a few times . Jang Ye Ri had not been recognized as her father’s family at first .

Unlike other slaves and Green Skins, Jang Ye Ri had stayed in the castle and not in prison . However, she had been called to be experimented on by magicians . It did not take long for Jang Ye Ri to notice that she was different from other humans .

Unlike those next to her, she had weird horns, and her eyes looked like a beast rather than a human’s . While she passed by her father during the experiments, he had not even looked at her . While Jang Gi Hoo had looked at her with strange eyes, she had not known what was behind that at that age .

About the time the experiments ended, Jang Ye Ri had earned the human language, ate human meals, and lived like a human . While there was a boiling instinct that would spring up every once in a while in her chest, since she did not want to be seen differently from others, she oppressed anything strange as much as she could .

The time she could meet her mother was very short, and Jang Ye Ri had never been able to talk to her mother . Her mother had always been locked up in a room with iron bars and vacantly stare at somewhere without even noticing her .

Jang Ye Ri would sometimes call her ‘Mother,’ there was no answer . Other children in the other rooms seemed to be always scared, and the adults were in the same state as her mother .

However, Jang Ye Ri remembered that the children fervently hated her .

‘Why is Mother so vacant? Why do I live with a nanny in another place?’

These thoughts circled Jang Ye Ri’s head . While her nanny had always loved her, something was missing in her life . While Jang Ye Ri wanted to run around and play, she stayed quiet like her nanny told her to do and tried not to stand out from the others .

She had opened and closed her eyes, and now the guards were staring at her with vacant eyes . They were her brother’s soldiers and not the castle guards .

“What? Why is the lady here?”

“Fuck, you were told to kill all of them . ”

“What?”

Jang Ye Ri ripped them open with the Reaper’s Scythe, and it had been so fast that the stupid soldiers had not known what had happened .

“Trash who are not fit to live . ”

Blood sprayed like fountains from them, and Jang Ye Ri walked between them .

‘Revenge . ’

Thoughts of revenge rang in her head towards the brother who raped her and the father who had killed her mother . She had waited for this day too long . She walked to see that her brother’s soldiers were against her father’s forces . She poured magic inside the Reaper’s Scythe to cut up everything she could see . The heads of those battling were separated from their bodies at once . They could not even scream before dying .

Jang Ye Ri smiled since it meant that she was coming closer to her dream . She finally arrived at her father’s room .

Since the room was perfectly soundproof with magic, she could not know what was going inside . However, Jang Ye Ri went in .

“Why are you here, my daughter?’

She saw a room filled with blood and corpses . She saw her father twisting Kim Huiyeong’s neck in the middle of the room . All of the corpses were either burst or twisted . They were high-class soldiers that were different from those she had seen outside . Also, Kim Huiyeong, who was hanging by her father’s hand, was one of the strongest in this city . She was not weak to be beaten like that .

The old man had been hiding his power .

“Please...let me live...King...”

“Your king is that idiot . ”

Jang Ye Ri turned her gaze again, and she saw her brother shaking in the corner with one of his arms completely crushed . She did not open her mouth and instead raised her scythe with one hand . It would serve as an answer .

“You know that your father is merciless against enemies . If you do not want to share the same fate as your stupid brother, do not cross the threshold . ”

“Ahhhhh!”

With a crushing sound, Kim Huiyeong’s body twisted completely as a warning not to come inside . From when Jang Ye Ri was very young, her father was the subject of fear, and he still scared her . Jang Ye Ri thought this was similar to the time she agonized over cutting off her horns . She had already chosen the answer .

Jang Ye Ri closed her eyes and again repeated the words of hate inwardly .

‘Anai Totka . ’

She felt strangely comfortable, and she saw an evil and fallen monster instead of her father . Jang Ye Ri walked on, not as a human being, but as a demon .
