Rescue, The Revealed Truth (4)

“Ugh…”

Roelin was tossed by him and she eventually hit a wood on her back, which made her curl like a shrimp as she swallowed a groan. Moreover, during the process itself, the pain from her foot amplified as if the branch that had penetrated her foot was caught somewhere else before the wound got even wider.

“I also can’t believe that I got fooled by such a girl.”

He grabbed her by the hair once again while spitting out words as if his pride had been dreadfully hurt. The pain of having her hair pulled instantly caused tears to flow down from Roelin’s eyes.

However, Roelin still stared at the man, even in tears, as if she could not afford to lose at the moment.

It was utterly best not to get caught now, but she had already been taken captive anyhow. That was why she didn’t want to beg for her life to be saved at all.

She opened her mouth to the man—all ready for death.

“Who played tricks on you? It seems like you weren’t the ones who dared to fool the Empress of Seroif then!”

“What? This girl……”

The man twitched his lips at Roelin’s roar. She continued to snap while simply staring at him like that.

“Who made you do it? Dare to kidnap me and even try to kill me—the Rakain Kingdom then? You think that you’ll be safe after committing these crimes against the Empire… ugh!”

And with a thud, she got lurched—!

Roelin’s head swung sideways after being slapped across the cheek by the man who could no longer contain his own anger. Her lips immediately burst and blood began to ooze out. Then, the man raised his hand again.

If she were to get hit by that rude hand once more, she thought that her eardrum would explode or her skull could have fractured to boot.

She felt a buzz in her ear and bit the flesh inside her mouth tightly in return. Even if one part of her body had been damaged, she could never lose. At the very least, she didn’t want to show such weakness to these kinds of people.

Since she was no longer the fake Princess of Rakain.

For the reason that she was now the Empress of Seroif as well as the companion of Kergel himself.

If she were to show a weak and pitiful appearance, Seroif would then be laughed at. In addition, Kergel would be ridiculed too.

She couldn’t afford to be weak; not for herself, but for the sake of the man whom she loved.

Roelin stared at the man again while straightening her face, which quickly got bruised up and turned blue. Then, the man who tried to swing his hand at her once again began to flinch at her gaze for a moment.

“This—really!”

The man suddenly felt ashamed of his own appearance and flicked his hand even rougher than before.

Her face turned to the side again with blood all gushing out. He brutally continued the violence against Roelin like a man who could no longer control his wrath.

Roelin’s body became completely broken and bruised all over. It was a moment when she was so messed up that she couldn’t even bear to open her eyes and look around.

It was just then.

Wooo! Woong!

The cries of beasts began to be heard through every nook and cranny. On top of that, a stormy wind blasted from the sky.

The man who was raising his hand at Roelin rolled on the floor as he became unable to overcome the intense force of the wind.

“What? What kind of wind……”

The man immediately lifted himself and opened his mouth. But he was rendered speechless.

No, it wasn’t just that one guy. All the others, who were just watching him act violently against Roelin, looked somewhere else as well—dumbfoundedly.

Roelin then fell down and started to stare amidst the somewhere which they looked at with such swollen, half-closed eyes.

A large man appeared to be standing across the street in a blurry sight.

It was difficult to distinguish it properly since everything had been utterly dark and it was even harder to see the man clearly since her upper eyelid was all swollen whereas blood had been seeping down while blocking her view.

But she could definitely see that he wasn’t like any other ordinary person.

The same was true of the body that clearly appeared two or three times larger, but all the hair on the upper body, which almost had no skin at all, had been the definite evidence.

A black fur that resembled the darkness was covering all over the man’s body.

‘Am I dreaming? Or am I only hallucinating instead?’

Maybe it was just both. Roelin laughed helplessly as she thought that the man who appeared like a beast was just like Kergel himself.

Since she missed him so much, she felt like even this person had overlapped Kergel’s appearance in such a ridiculous situation like this.

Whoo! Whoo!

At that moment, she could hear the cry of a wolf. Then, the howling of those beasts stopped all of a sudden.

It was as if they were obeying their king—the King of Beasts.

“What the hell is this……”

The man stuttered and gulped down his saliva. An indescribable fear had engulfed the man entirely. It was an unfamiliar feeling that he had never experienced in his life as an assassin.

The man who had caused such emotion eventually took a slow step ahead. Then, as if the forest itself was angry, the earth began to tremble and the surprised mountain birds soared into the sky at once.

It was just bizarre. It was as if everything on the ground had resonated completely with the man.

“Who are you? …yah!”

As he got stimulated from the strange fear that was spread by that particular man, the assassin sprinted out as a reaction towards him.

But he couldn’t even get to reach the front of the man at all.

Phuk.

It didn’t take long for just a single life to disappear. In fact, there wasn’t even a loud noise.

There was just a little sound that seemed like bursting a tiny mere fruit instead.

“Oh, my God. Kehil!”

Some of the men automatically cried out in astonishment. However, there was no longer a man named Kehil anywhere else.

Rather, what had been left was only pools of blood soaked in the soil and pieces of flesh scattered in all directions.
