It was a hopeless wish. It was a wind of despair. Still, she wanted to repay her with riches. She thanked her for giving her another chance.
The queen herself spared her, who had tried to put her in a predicament.
She wasn’t sure exactly what the reason was, but one thing was clear…
‘She is a respectable and good person. Just like His Highness the Crown Prince…’
She was the second person who brought light into Yuria’s life.
The person who reached her hand out when she thought her life was over.
Thanks to Rixus, who reached out for the first time, Yuria got a new life, but…
This time, she just couldn’t do it.
Because she realized so vividly what she had done to such a good person.
‘……Even if I die, I won’t be forgiven.’
Everything that she longed for as a monster now felt so futile.
“……”
Yuria looked out of the window with blank eyes.
It was autumn, when summer passed and the leaves dried out.
The bare branches resembled her body.
Wheeik—
A cold wind blew and made her silver hair flutter.
From Malta to Akktoum, and everything she had been through…… It all felt like a dream.
Yuria closed her eyes.
She then pulled the calling string for her nanny. As soon as her nanny arrived, she gave her the handover papers.
“Take care of this. Nanny.”
“…Doing this paperwork isn’t difficult. But my lady, really, don’t you want to call a member of the legislature?”
The nanny looked down at Yuria with the most worried eyes.
From the time her lady returned to the mansion, she had been ill.
She had already been in that harsh prison for several days with her weak body, so it was reasonable.
Plus she heard she didn’t eat any food when she was in prison.
Her lady refused to see her till now. The first thing she did when she returned was to fill out the transfer papers.
“Please, my lady…”
Yuria looked up at the nanny’s worried face.
She always raised her like she was her own child. She was just like her mom on behalf of her busy parents.
Of course, there were differences in status, but from time to time, Yuria felt a strong affection for her.
The nanny surely felt the same way.
Although now that the whole world cursed Yuria, the nanny only cared about her, regardless of her sins.
“….…”
Yuria looked at her nanny with blurred eyes, and then she opened her mouth.
“Yes, I beg you, nanny.”
“Ah, my lady. Wait a minute!”
Joy and relief appeared on the nanny’s face.
The nanny, who was about to leave the room in a hurry, stopped by the doorway, waving the papers in her hand and saying,
“Don’t worry about this either. I’ll take care of it right away!”
“……Nanny.”
Yuria stopped her before she completely turned her body.
“Yes?”
Yuria said,
“…Thank you. For being my friend.”
The nanny smiled faintly with her wrinkled face.
“Don’t say that, my lady.”
The nanny closed the door and left.
Yuria’s eyes slowly trembled in the stillness that fell in the room.
She instinctively realized that the time had come.…… It was now.
Yuria slowly opened a drawer and took out the bottle inside.
It was the Poison of Mandra Gora, which was used at the last wedding she attended and only had half of it left.
The difference was that today, she was sitting in front of this poison without any antidote.
Tuk—
Yuria’s hands as she opened the bottle cap shook like crazy.
She decided to die, yet her fears did not go away.
But her hesitation did not last long.
She closed her eyes tightly and swallowed the poison.
The poison scorched her esophagus and devoured her whole body like a demon.
“Uck.”
Suddenly, hot, crimson blood flowed from her lips.
Her delicate body slowly collapsed onto the floor, and the blood from her mouth slowly wetted the floor and spread widely.
Looking at the blood, Yuria was happy inside.
She became a monster for a while, but at the moment of her death…… She could die as a human.
The last light shone in Yuria’s pale blue eyes.
A long time ago…
When she tried to give up her life in front of a swamp of despair like death.
She heard a dry voice that had brought her back to life and sustained her.
“Live.”
The words that a god-like being with blue-purple eyes had spoken to her.
“If you can’t live well…”
“….…”
“You can hold on by desperately grabbing your life.”
The voice that illuminated her life and made her live again……
It rang slowly in her ears and then fell in vain.
Tears trickled out from the corner of one of Yuria’s eyes.
Whoosh—
The gust of wind made the hem of her thin, blood-soaked dress flutter in the sky.
At last, the energy of life completely disappeared from Yuria’s body.
A few days after Yuria’s death……
In the northern part of Spinel, a major disaster occurred when ‘Melphius’ invaded.
It happened on the same date and at the same time as her last seven lives.
The monarch of Spinel asked for close cooperation from Lucia and the margrave.
Lucia, commander of the transnational knights, the Valderi Order, and the large Ghost Army joined the subjugation group.
Melphius was defeated at an unprecedented rate.
There were no casualties among the common people, only a small number of injured people.
In the history books, it was recorded as Spinel’s brilliant victory.
Ame: ah, I’m so conflicted as to how to feel about Yuria. Is dying easier than living calmly in Malta? Isn’t it cowardice? And that aside… Deborah! That snake! Ugh!
Dea: I…WHAT? YURIA! I had this whole redemption arc ready for her, she was going to help completely bring Deb down and then she goes and dies…
