    Episode 199 – Princess, Ariana Crowfield 12 –

    The law is far, the fist is close.

    hyundai. no.

    Even in modern times, this was far from reality.

    Republic of Korea during the Ssangpalnyeon era.

    The fist went further than the law.

    It was quiet because the power was closer.

    In the end, fists were always looked down upon.

    however. In ancient times, this was praised.

    Even in a modern empire, it would be reprehensible to use officially authorized force outside of designated areas.

    In the past, there were no such restrictions.

    That’s why it was called barbarian.

    That’s why it wasn’t easy to change.

    Seonghwangcheong also tried to change. When Seonghwangcheong tried to suppress it by force, it became another oppression.

    They decided to simply focus on changing human perception.

    It was that kind of world.

    A barbaric era.

    A time before civilization had even established its proper foundation.

    The era humans call ancient times.

    In such a world, what can a person who has been brought down by his fists do to rise again?

    “I will be your servant.”

    It happens with your fists.

    Those who prosper by the sword. As the saying goes, we will perish by the sword.

    Those who perish by the sword. It is the way to prosper by the sword.

    He was betrayed.

    Now is the time to thrive on betrayal.

    ==========

    The events that occurred that day were widely spread.

    It was something that even Seonghwangcheong did not expect.

    A vampire intervened in the war.

    Those who were betrayed were turned into vampires.

    The vampires created in this way became a grand threat.

    The biggest reason is that most of the vampire preparedness measures that humans had prepared so far did not work.

    Vampires who live forever are afraid of death, apart from the fact that they rarely die.

    That’s why I try not to fight in situations where I have weaknesses.

    The reason they fight is because there is an order from the Lord of Blood.

    I try not to send my men to battlefields where there is a high possibility that Hyeolju will use some trick.

    However, those involved in this war were different.

    Those who decided to become vampires out of revenge for being betrayed.

    These were not people who chose to become vampires because they feared their lives.

    Although their bodies were filled with cold blood.

    My heart was burning with revenge.

    They either openly commit suicide against Seonghwangcheong.

    They targeted the weak point with a surprise attack during the day.

    Of course they all died.

    But I didn’t have a single regret.

    A day when I thought I would be safe from vampires.

    And because it was an attack that occurred in a sanctuary.

    The moment the vampire stopped being afraid of death.

    There was no longer any way for humans to survive.

    Even from Seonghwangcheong’s point of view, there was no other way.

    They did not become vampires because of selfishness, but because they were betrayed and took the opportunity.

    It is not something that can be prevented by punishing the perpetrator.

    It was impossible to punish future victims.

    Let’s try to stop the victim in the first place.

    Because there will be other betrayed victims.

    This was the same for the perpetrator.

    A situation where war occurs.

    The perpetrators were often powerful.

    Asking them to sacrifice is the same as asking them to go to war.

    Eventually, the war began to turn increasingly unfavorable for the vampires.

    And a man was walking down the street.

    His name is Dilenium.

    To eliminate the battalion that abandoned him.

    He was a human who had become a devil.

    “What do you think?”

    “… ”

    His blood master asked.

    He didn’t say anything.

    Actually, it’s not that I don’t have any particular thoughts.

    Because there was too much to say.

    Chuck ㅡ

    He simply raised his head and looked at his former comrades.

    I could feel their living, breathing blood from afar.

    Now it was time to get that blood.

    =========

    That’s how the bloody revenge ended.

    No priests or wizards.

    The unit that could only handle basic Aurors was brutally killed by a single vampire.

    “Please save me~”

    There was no mercy.

    There was no consideration whatsoever.

    All that’s left is just blood.

    They were only vampires who survived by drinking blood.

    “… ”

    By selling myself to the devil like that.

    He was the one who achieved his revenge.

    His face wasn’t very good.

    His blood master, who had doubts about him, asked.

    “Why are you making such a bad expression? Didn’t what you wanted come true?”

    “… ”

    He didn’t say anything.

    And the blood vessel knew.

    What does he think?

    I was simply wondering if there might be another reason that I don’t know about.

    I just looked for it once.

    “Is it vain?”

    Revenge is futile.

    It is said that most vampires feel a sense of futility after achieving revenge.

    Revenge is short, but life is long.

    And it doesn’t end.

    When you can’t see even an inch ahead.

    I knew that the road called life was short.

    After the fog cleared, the road was long enough to see the horizon.

    I was no longer an innocent victim.

    The cruel murderer himself remained and spent eons.

    Most vampires were destined to feel this way after revenge.

    The only reason it isn’t well known.

    Most of them died in revenge.

    This is because those who survive have become accustomed to even despair and have resigned themselves to it.

    “In the end, it probably wasn’t a big deal. They are no longer there. The only thing left now is you, my servant.”

    He can no longer be forgiven.

    He will forever be a vampire.

    There is no way to remove this label.

    “At the time, they probably did such a thing because they thought they could go to heaven even after they die. It can happen at that time. But now I think differently.”

    Hyeolju smiled crookedly.

    Chin~

    Both of his hands grabbed Dilenium’s shoulders.

    Blood rat and his blood relatives.

    With the faces of the two beings facing each other.

    The owner’s mouth opened.

    “But what? Unfortunately. They were destined to die someday.”

    All humans die.

    In the end, they will be judged by God on whether they will go to heaven or hell.

    Because Dilenium cannot intervene in that trial.

    Because they can go to heaven without suffering even if they commit evil deeds.

    He chose revenge.

    However, there is one fact he overlooked.

    Even if I eventually took revenge. He had no positive influence on the referees after his death.

    At best, it completely blocks the possibility of doing good deeds in the future.

    All I could do was console myself by reducing my chances of going to heaven.

    Considering that these are people who betrayed once, they can betray twice.

    It didn’t seem like I would live my life accumulating good deeds.

    ‘rather… ‘

    For Dilenium, a despairing possibility was realized.

    Because he was killed by himself.

    Because he was killed by the devil. Rather, he thought that his chances of going to heaven might be slightly higher.

    And that.

    Even if we excluded it, it would have been meaningless.

    After all, they will die someday.

    But you will be judged.

    Dillenium is no longer a victim.

    Hell will await you after death.

    even…

    “So. How does it feel to sell your soul to the devil? Boy.”

    This devil. Because it doesn’t seem like he will force himself to do good deeds.

    “You have a thoughtful expression. Do I have any regrets?”

    Yes.

    I regretted it.

    I regretted it so much.

    The life I’ve lived so far has only lasted about 15 years.

    I could have had to live as someone’s servant for hundreds or thousands of years.

    no. Maybe it could have been like that for the rest of my life.

    That’s why I regretted it.

    “That’s the expression on his face. then. I feel sorry for you, so let me do you a favor. Is it a mercy?”

    Is he a whim?

    I don’t know if there is any mercy left for the devil.

    I decided to do you a favor.

    Of course, it was obvious that he would not listen to anything related to his salvation.

    In other words, you had to choose something that was related to suffering more.

    ‘I decided.’

    Even if there is pain.

    Let’s shorten that period.

    I answered with that in mind.

    “Please erase my memory. And at the most, only one day every 10 years. Release your memories whenever you want. You can watch my pain.”

    This was to be comfortable and not to give up hope.

    You will live comfortably for most of your life.

    To the vampire who lives forever.

    Because ten years is not a very large period of time.

    “Keuuuuhaha! okay! You have to listen to that much!”

    Did he like that?

    I accepted the offer right away.

    Just like that, my memory was erased with an ‘order’.

    If you look at it now, you can see the thousands of years that were under him.

    Dillenium thought it was a very comfortable time.

    He even had blood relatives under him.

    Because acknowledging that fact once every 10 years was enough.

    however.

    Another thing that the mortal Dilenium had overlooked was holding him back.

    [Nothing is permanent in this world.]

    Even if he is an immortal vampire.

    Finally, many years have passed. Eventually, his blood vessels disappeared.

    The progenitor was sealed.

    Nowadays even blood vessels have disappeared.

    Dillenium was free once again.

    Now is the time to take responsibility.
