The man was like a ghost. He did not show any emotion of joy, anger, sorrow, or pleasure, but just walked toward Mirwa in a daze.
Linos thought the sight was eerie. It is rare to see a person who does not show any emotion. He approached Albe with a touch of apprehension.
"Oh ...... oh ......"
Mirwa is still panting, shaking her head slowly from side to side. It seems that she cannot accept the fact that her contract with the spirit, which is the life of Siljus, has been severed. He has to fight against the danger of his life that he is about to face. It was not hard to understand his reluctance to accept the reality.
When Albe came close to Milwa, he stopped. He stands there with a blank expression on his face. Mirwa, on the other hand, does not react to him, but just continues panting.
Albe slowly put his hand on the belt around his waist. Linos, looking at the scene, had a strange expression on his face, not knowing what he was going to do.
He took off the belt, raised it, and swung it down with force. A sound similar to a rupture was heard at the same time as the woman's desperate scream.
Albe continued to beat Mirwa's body with the belt as if she were in a fever. The belt hit various places on her body, face, legs, and arms. Each time, there was an indescribable sound of skin hitting skin and Mirwa's exclamation. Linos, who was close by, unexpectedly took his hand to make him stop.
"Haa...... haa...... haa...... haa......"
Albe is breathing on her shoulder, glaring at Mirwa. Her clothes are torn and her body is swollen purple and bleeding in places. It was painful to see her endure as she curled her body around herself, trying desperately to protect herself.
He was still trying to hit Mirwa. But Linos was holding his arm tightly and he could not move it. His eyes were reddish-black and discolored, revealing a deep hatred.
"Stop it!"
Linos opens his mouth quietly. Albe slowly turns his gaze to Linos. His face is contorted.
"Mr. Linos. ......"
Soleil, Matkal, and others came to the side. They too seemed to be at a loss for words at the sight. At that moment, Milwa muttered in a low voice.
"I ...... didn't think I could get away with this ...... to my concubine for free. ......"
Albe silently turned his attention to Milwa and kicked her head as hard as he could. Mirwa let out a muffled cry and rolled around, holding her head with both hands.
"Will you stop it?"
Linos says admonishingly, cajoling a little strength into his hands that are holding him. Albe's face contorts even uglier.
"Ouch ...... ouch ...... ouch!"
Milwa rolls over, holding her head, sounding as if she is about to cry. Eventually, she screamed pleadingly with her hands still holding her head down.
"It hurts, it hurts. ....... Someone, please put a healing spell on me. Quickly, please put a recovery spell on me ......."
No one responded to her words. Milwa looks up and turns to Linos.
"You, cast a restorative spell on her. You should at least be able to use recovery magic. Apply recovery magic to your mistress quickly!
At her words, Linos just stared at her with a blank expression on his face. She turns her gaze to Soleil and continues to speak.
"Soleil! I don't care if it's you! Give me some restorative magic! Quickly! It hurts, it hurts!
But Soleil showed no reaction to her. Milwa, spilling tears, choked Linos and the others.
"It's terrible, terrible... how can they torture her when she's suffering so ...... much? ..."
Linos looks stunned. What are you talking about? At that moment, Soleil opened her mouth.
"Milwa......, everything that is happening to you is because of what you did."
Suddenly Mirwa's exclamation rang out. She stood up with a desperate look on her face and glared at Soleil with a look of hatred on her face.
"It was your fault to begin with! If it weren't for you, none of this would have happened! If only you weren't in this world, none of this would have happened! That's right! If you had never been born, many people would not have died! It's all your fault, Soleil!
"Milwa!"
I hear a voice with anger in it. It's Escalina. She opens her mouth, tears welling up in her eyes.
Do you know what you're saying? It's not the same Siljus!"
"I don't know anything about that! Escarina, you, too, lost the life of the man you fell in love with to this Soleil! Why are you with him? Don't you hate Soleil!"
"Milwa ......"
Soleil opens her mouth in a calm voice. I look at her and see that her body is glowing a faint golden color. Instantly Linos senses that Soleil is trying to kill this Psyllus. However, he does not feel any negative emotion such as hatred. Rather, there was sadness. She seemed to be confronting Mirwa while suppressing it.
"You only think about yourself. ......"
"What?"
"It is not my fault that the first ...... contract with the forest spirits was cut. It was because you neglected to sing to the spirits. Otherwise, the spirits would not break the contract. It can't be you who doesn't know that."
Milwa was about to say something, but Soleil interrupted her with more words.
"If you had really made an effort to have a close relationship with the spirits, Pope Queen would not have broken the contract with you. When Shenlong-sama tried to terminate the contract, the spirits did not object at all. If the spirits really liked him, they would have refused to terminate the contract.
"Shut up!"
Mirwa exclaimed. But her voice had drained all her strength, and she collapsed to the ground.
"Guys ...... guys, it's your fault ....... Everyone ......."
Then Milwa burst into tears. Soleil began mumbling and chanting. Then the golden light she was wearing fell on Milwa's body and enveloped her.
"Soleil, what have you done?"
"Yes, I've made it possible to monitor Mirwa's every move."
"What? That's what ...... is all about."
"Yes. It is possible with the power of Shenlong-sama. However, this is limited to those who can make a contract with the spirits. It is not impossible for anyone other than Siljus, but if they are too far away, it will be difficult for them to grasp the situation. I will watch Mirwa for a while. There is probably nothing I can do, but as soon as he tries to do something, I will be able to tell, so I don't think there is anything to worry about.
Soleil smiled as she said this. She looked at Milwa again and spoke to her in a firm tone.
"Now Milwa, I leave the rest to you. You can go back to your village or you can live on your own. I respect your decision and I will see what you do from now on.
At these words, Mirwa cried out loudly.
"Let go of me. ......"
Suddenly, Albe opened his mouth. He looked at Milwa and muttered in a small voice. But Linos shook his head slowly.
"I can't do that. I have many questions for you. I'm going to have to take you back to the capital."
"I said let me go!"
Albe shouted loudly and took a black pill from his pocket and threw it into his mouth. .......
