Chapter 1203 - Lucy's Decision

Temperatures rising, hearts squealing.

Tick-Tock-Tick-Tock.

Everyone's heart was in a mess.

Would she do it? Would she betray her people for her mother's past?

Even Kora couldn't say that in Lucy's shoes, she too wouldn't be tempted.

To know the truth is to understand and prevent all torture problems too.

In other words, to know one's past is to know one's future.

Everyone's heart thudded widely, with sweat running from their armpits down below.

'Princess, don't listen to them!'

'Com'on, sister. You are a witch! A traitorous one for that matter. But don't worry, we will fulfill your promise and tell you all we know about your mother once you leave with us. After all, that was the promise. For you to come with is in exchange for your mother's origins. But after extracting all information from you, you will still continue being the chosen one. Yes! The chosen sacrifice to appease our rage!'

The flames of countless emotions rose fiercely within the room.

And the person who held everyone's attention only stayed in a daze, looming at both sides severally, with her head moving back and forth between the desperate hostages and the Number 5's extended hand.

It was as if she had an angel on one shoulder and a demon on the other.

But you know, the wait didn't take long because in under a minute, she had made her choice.

And at this moment, seeing Lucy turn to them in an aggrieved manner, as if saying sorry, the hostages felt their faces turn pale.

The worst had come. Their princess had chosen the side of these dastardly women!

.

At first, Lucy feared that because of the constant abuse from her father, her mother might've been rambling and going into madness when she was younger.

And there were some words that she recalled that had always stood out.

So after hearing the exact same words from these women, she knew that their claim might've been more accurate.

Her mother was an enigma wrapped in a mystery.

She never said anything because, deep down, she felt like uncovering anything would be a waste of time.

Her mother was too good at hiding secrets. And unless she wanted one to know, they would never do so.

If she felt that her mother was going towards madness, how could she also claim to be taught how to read and write by such a person?

And if you said your mother is strong, then how could she be so bullied to the point of death?

.

Over the years, even though many thought her mother was a peasant, others thought she had been an abandoned noble instead.

Why? Because when she first married in, she had been too fair for a peasant.

(In truth, this was because people from Tenola had fairer skin when compared to people from Veinitta, Pyno or Morgany.)

Others also speculated that she was a brothel woman or pr?st?tut? who used to be well taken care of too.

In short, when it came to Lucy's mother in the beginning, there was no actual proof of her identity. But after a while, evidence of her village burning to the ground came out, finally proving that she was a peasant. And even though the majority believed it, there were still people who had their doubts while she was still alive... Probably why hidden guards would spy on her from time to time.

But looking at the way the woman was oriented and just ended up dying like that, it was clear that those who were suspicious had highly overestimated the woman.

She was an orphaned peasant. Case closed.

But even though the case was closed for many, how could Lucy let it go?

Thinking of her suspicions growing up, she was now pumped up and was hell-bent on uncovering the truth.

Indeed. Her decision had been made.

But unfortunately, there was something else Lucy was forgetting.
