Chapter 655: Brainwashed Woman

Chapter 236 - Brainwashed Woman

Envy has no sympathy for the Light Empire generals, but she is not happy to see Amelia obeying Lucien that way.

'If you let him kill one of your pawns like that, the others may doubt your leadership.' Envy talks to Amelia mentally.

'Do you think I don't understand that?' Amelia replied sarcastically.

Knowing that it will not be good for her 'act' as the Light Envoy, she tried to talk to Lucien, but he told her not to get involved in this situation.

It is easy for everyone to understand that one of the generals did something bad to the cat-girl who was in Lucien's arms.

Although Amelia also has no sympathy for Lucien's wives, she doesn't want to create problems by defending a shitty racist.

So Lucien continued walking towards the generals behind Dawn, with a strange smile on his face.

The generals don't know what to think. This is supposed to be a meeting between the leaders of the two armies and not to resolve personal matters.

Dawn is surprised to see Amelia keeping silent and taking a step to the side. She is sure that Amelia would not let her people be intimidated, so she concludes that Amelia has everything under control.

But actually, Amelia isn't thinking about doing anything and just let Lucien get closer to the generals. Dawn also took a step to the side as he appears to be over 1.9 meters tall, and his horns and wings are quite intimidating.

The generals are the strongest and most courageous men of the Light Empire, after the King, of course. And together as a group, they become even braver. None of them would fear facing the brutal manticore clan's patriarch.

But there is something about Lucien that makes them uncomfortable. Perhaps it is his onyx horns that seem to shine, his blood-red wings with scary thorns, or the strange smile on his face.

After seeing the Light Envoy and their marshal staying silent while stepping aside and giving free passage to the devil, the generals began to be concerned.

Everyone understands that Madelyn probably pointed to just one of them, and those who wanted to stay together realized that it is not really worth getting into it.

As Madelyn had pointed to the middle of the group, the generals who are at the side of the group started to step back. Still, as no one remembers Madelyn, they all moved aside and back.

Lucien increased the speed of his pace and arrived in front of one of the generals. The strong blond-haired man appears to be no more than forty.

"I don't know what you want from me, damn devil!" The general declares boldly. But his body betrays him by moving slowly backward, making it clear that he is a little afraid.

As the general moves slowly backward, Lucien also moves towards him. "Do you really not remember that beautiful girl?"

The general looks disgusted. "Why would I remember a damn demi-human? You are asking me to distinguish animals. For me, they are all the same."

He stopped and stared at Lucien, thinking he just wanted to intimidate him and wouldn't really do anything in this situation.

"Sigh..." Lucien closes his eyes and then moves his head forward, hitting the general's forehead with his own forehead.

For Lucien, that was a simple move. He used just a little of his force at medium speed.

*BAM*

*CRACK*

But for everyone who is watching, Lucien's head became a blur as the general flew back several meters while his blood splashed everywhere.

The general feels excruciating pain all over his body, especially in his head as he falls and rolls on the ground.

"AAARGHHHHHH!!!!" He screams like never before as he feels the worst pain of his entire life.

But the worst is not the pain... Although Lucien's attack just made a few cracks in his hard skull, the man feels like there are huge holes in his head.

The general fears that, along with that dripping blood, his brain will also drain out from his head through the holes.

"AAAAAAAAA!! SOMEONE HELP ME!! I'M DYING!!!" The general cries in despair as he keeps his hands on his head.

None of the other generals wants to get close to their friend, and they even move further away.

But Dawn tries to run to help the poor man. Still, Amelia quickly appears in front of her and holds her by the shoulders.

"You must not be involved in this!" Amelia says with a concerned expression.

She really feels that Dawn is her first friend, but she is not going to stop Lucien from killing her if it will cause her problems.

Amelia's thought is the same as Lucien's: My family is important; the world does not really matter.

The difference between them is that now, other people, not necessarily with the same blood as him, are part of Lucien's family.

Dawn still tries to go towards the general who keeps screaming and crying on the ground. "I have to help him! Please, Light Envoy, let me go!!"

"This is an issue between them," Amelia says without releasing Dawn.

"But, I do not understand what it is about!!"

"Then try to understand it!"

Despite the general's screams, everyone is listening to Amelia and Dawn's conversation. And Lucien understood Amelia's point.

Lucien does not feel the need to give satisfaction to anyone outside his family. But he knows that his actions are being detrimental to Amelia's leadership as the Light Envoy, and that is definitely not fair to her right before their battle.

Then he looks at Dawn while shaking his head. "I read a lot about you in books. Also, I heard a lot of people talking and telling stories about how a brave and honorable warrior you are, and that you fight to defend your innocent people."

He makes a confused expression, further confusing Dawn. "But you are here defending a man like him?"

"What did he do to you?!" Dawn asks.

Lucien quickly responds. "Nothing to me. He doesn't have the balls to attack someone with the same strength or stronger than him. But a few years ago, he attacked a group of young non-combatant demi-humans who were leaving the Alliance to have a peaceful life in Portgreen."

"No way!" Dawn quickly denied that.

Lucien continued to explain. "He not only killed those young people, but he also had a lot of fun torturing them. Damn!! They were just kids who didn't have good opportunities in their homeland and wanted to start their lives over again in another place. They wanted to get away from the Alliance so they didn't have to fight against your people."

As the only marshal and princess of the Light Empire, Dawn always had a lot to do and a lot of people to lead.

Because she was always busy fighting on the various frontiers of the Light Empire and also taking care of political issues, most of the time, she only saw her soldiers on the battlefield.

And since that specific general had only recently been promoted from captain, she had only fought at his side a few times, not to mention knowing his past or personality.

Still, Dawn couldn't believe that one of her generals would do something like that. After all, her people are not the villains here.

The Light Empire only faces the Alliance's demi-humans because they are evil and want to destroy world peace.

Well, that was what her father, the Light King, has been teaching her from her childhood. He told her how the demi-humans have been attacking their people since many years ago, and now it's their turn to attack back to defend the people of the Light Empire.

While Dawn doesn't believe Lucien's words, the other generals look elsewhere. None of them can claim not to know what it's like to have fun torturing demi-humans as they all really like it.

But of course, due to the strict discipline that Dawn leads them, and her personality, everyone understands that it's better for everyone that she does not know the kind of dirty things they like to do.

While Dawn is confused, Amelia notices the other general's sorry expressions.

With Envy's help, Amelia now finds it very easy to really understand people around her, and she already knows what kind of people they are.

Of course, that kind of disgusting thing that Lucien is telling them, she didn't know and now, just like him, she is very angry with these men.

Lucien realizes that Dawn is still not convinced and sees Amelia's sad look. So he tries again to explain the truth to Dawn because Amelia seems really to like her.

He looks at Madelyn. "Please, tell them what that man told you, my dear."

The general's suffering did not really bring a good feeling to Madelyn, but knowing that Lucien will hurt anyone who hurts her like that, gives her a very good feeling of security because, of course, no one will want to harm her while fearing him so much.

And being calmer now, Madelyn speaks in a neutral tone. "While torturing and killing my friends, he made me watch everything and then let me go after telling me he would feel great pleasure knowing that I will always have nightmares from not being able to forget everything he made me watch."

"No..." A part of Dawn's heart starts to break while she sees the honest expression on Madelyn's face.

Madelyn is clearly young now, so if that happened several years ago, she was really a kid when the general supposedly did all of those terrible things.

And even if they weren't young, Dawn would still feel very sad because she is completely against torture and cruelty. Precisely because she doesn't like people like that, she fights against the Alliance's brutal and evil demi-humans.

But if her soldiers are also cruel and evil, and she never realized that even though she is their leader, it means that she is a blind idiot and is actually the worst person among her people.

While she feels so bad, a tear starts to come out of one of Dawn's eyes. She can't believe that she has been allowing such acts of cruelty for a long time without realizing it.

The general who was rolling on the ground in pain is also hearing everything and yell. "That is a lie!!"

The other generals are very afraid that their secrets would be discovered, especially after seeing Amelia's severe look. So, on hearing their comrade trying to lie, they quickly try too, to save their asses.

"Yes, that is a lie!!"

"You can't believe him!!"

"Exactly, he is the devil!"

"The devil is lying to weaken us!"

While Dawn finds Maleyn an honest and innocent girl, her generals no longer look like the brave and honorable men they once looked to be.

Now they look just like desperate people trying not to suffer the wrath of that handsome devil.

And about Lucien... Dawn can't help but admire some of his characteristics. Not his beauty, but his calmness in dealing with the situation even though it is evident to everyone that he very much wants to kill the general that did so much harm to his wife.

Well, he as the devil himself may actually be lying, but Dawn doesn't think that's the case. He's so strong, incredible, intimidating... Even the Light Envoy took a step back to let him handle it.

While Dawn's expression switches from sad to angry, Lucien realizes that perhaps she really is the brave and noble warrior of books and stories, and just doesn't know how dirty and wicked her soldiers are.

Well, if she, as their leader, never noticed that they are just damn racists, she must be blind and stupid, or she never had a chance to see the truth because she was blinded by brainwashing.

Anyway, Lucien doesn't want to be the kind of person who judges others without knowing them. But he doesn't mind judging this general who did so much harm to his cute Madelyn.

And his verdict is a brutal death.
