This is an IF Lily route, not the main story. It contains Yuri elements, so readers who dislike Yuri should press the back button.

Hoo-

Everything visible ahead is red.

The floor, the walls, the ceiling, all are a sea of blood.

Bits of human organs and flesh are strewn everywhere.

A sight that could truly be called hell on earth. And in the center of it was one girl.

While everyone else was covered in blood, she alone remained without a drop of blood on her,

Step

Holding the head of someone whose name is unknown,

Step

She slowly approaches me.

“Ah, it was Mother.”

Thud

The girl dropped the head. Squish! Blood and flesh burst, staining the girl’s feet and the floor.

But she doesn’t even blink an eye at a sight that would make others frown.

She just

Step step

approaches me one step at a time.

“I didn’t want to show you this kind of scene… I’m sorry, Mother.”

My breath is caught. It’s terrifying. She is the perfect predator, I am a mere handful of prey.

Run… Run away right now…!

“Just sleep for a little while.”

Thump

Had I barely taken a step, a sharp pain behind my neck and my body collapsed.

“When you wake up, everything will be over.”

With those words as the last, consciousness soon sank.

—

How could I forget that day?

That day my beloved lover, Tacha, called herself a bitch and crawled under a man’s crotch.

The days she carried his seed, held her bulging belly, and diligently served him.

How could I forget?

No, how should I forget?

Since that day, my life has completely fallen into ruin.

Just a queen’s position in name only. A position without any respect or reverence.

There, I was treated worse than Tacha, who had become that man’s bitch, and had to be forcibly summoned every night to watch their mating.

A situation where dying would be better.

But that man did not allow me to kill myself, and no matter how hard I tried to commit suicide, he would ultimately keep me alive.

As I was slowly withering away like that, unable to even die, salvation came to me.

Tacha’s daughter, Yelena.

That child, the only one among the countless children to inherit Tacha’s cotton candy-like pink hair.

That child, who was scorned for being the only one who didn’t awaken when everyone else was born with golden eyes.

I loved her.

No, how could I not love her? How could I not love that child who so closely resembled the person I loved?

I cared for that child, thinking of her as Tacha’s and my daughter. Although the green eyes that resembled that man were eerie, apart from the eyes, she was a very lovely child who resembled Tacha.

Yelena, who her biological parents didn’t even show their faces, preferred me, who cared for her with love.

Every day when I came, she would smile and fuss, asking to play, and I willingly responded, giving her the love Yelena didn’t receive.

Thus, 20 years flowed by, and before I knew it, Yelena had become a mature young woman.

Yelena, who grew into a beautiful woman resembling Tacha, was showered with countless marriage proposals, and I, though not her biological mother, willingly searched for the best match with a maternal heart.

No matter how ignored and neglected a queen I was, I was confident I could find a good match for Yelena.

And I was about to bring that carefully chosen match to Yelena.

But why?

Why is that man’s head rolling on the floor?

And why is Yelena killing her half-siblings?

“Sister, please, just spare my life… Aaaaah-!!!!”

Crack

With the eerie sound of a human skull breaking, Prince Alexandr’s scream echoed loudly and then faded away.

As Alexandr died, the other brothers and sisters screamed and resisted in their own ways, but soon their resistance stopped with a single shriek.

Then came the chilling silence and the pungent smell of blood that pricked the nose.

“Ah……”

Gripped by terror, I stood there as if rooted to the spot.

Flutter

Even if the paper with the difficult-to-choose marriage proposal fell and was stained with blood, I had no time to care.

I had to escape from this place immediately.

Forcing my trembling legs to move, I took one step back.

But

Clang!

“Ah…… Ahh…!!”

“?”

When I stepped on a piece of glass, Yelena immediately looked at me.

Noticing that I was the one who made the sound, she dropped her brother’s head and approached me.

Step

“Ah, it was Mother.”

Don’t come.

Step

“I didn’t want to show you this kind of scene… I’m sorry, Mother.”

No. Go away. Go away…!

She swings her knife.

“Just sleep for a little while.”

Swish!

Thump

“Aaaaaaaaaaah-!!!!”

The moment the knife plunged into my body, I woke up.

“Haa… Haa… Haa….”

My head was buzzing as if I had slept poorly, and nausea welled up.

But rather than checking the state of my body, I quickly looked around.

Unlike the scene in my dream, which was entirely covered in blood, it was merely submerged in darkness, the usual scenery without any difference.

The black scene, contrasting with the red, calmed me down.

“Haa… Haa… Huff……”

Was it a terrible nightmare, yes, it must have been just a terrible nightmare.

It couldn’t be real….

“You’re awake, Mother.”

It was Yelena’s voice. Forcing my head, which wouldn’t turn back, I looked up and saw Yelena smiling broadly, looking at me.

Wearing the clothes I saw in my dream. With a little blood stained on the hem, Yelena was there, as if the events in the dream were reality.

“Ah… Agh… Ugh…”

Then that terrifying scene came back to me.

Corpses strewn everywhere in a terrible state, their insides spilled out, pools of blood deep enough to form puddles.

And standing there was my daughter, Yelena.

“Lena… Lena (Yelena’s nickname), it’s a dream, right? It’s all a dream, isn’t it? Huh? Our Lena…”

I opened my trembling lips and struggled to ask.

That all of this was just a dream. That it was just a terrible nightmare. With desperate heart, I ask.

“Of course it’s a dream, Mother.”

“Ri… Right? It’s all just my terrible nightmare…”

“You were hoping I’d say that, weren’t you?”

Ah.

It wasn’t a dream.

That incident

Really happened.

My head buzzes and becomes noisy.

That terrible scene comes back again, painting over my vision.

Red blood is smeared on Yelena’s white, beautiful hands.

That blood travels up her arm, staining her daughter’s body.

From her chest to her face. From her face to her head.

Before I knew it, the bloodstains had spread to her hair, and drops of blood fell from her pink hair that resembled Tacha’s.

I was horrified and struck away her hand.

But-

Grab

“You seem to have been greatly shocked, Mother.”

Yelena grabs my hand again and leans her face in.

Then, the mint-colored eyes that resemble that man fill my vision.

“Just sleep for a little while.”

Yelena’s eyes turned golden, then gradually became a deep abyss, devouring my consciousness.

“J-Just a minute, Le… Lenaaaaa…..”

Regardless of my will, consciousness slowly sank into darkness.

‘Just what… is this ability…’

In terror and many questions, I fell asleep again.

—

Zzzz-

The ample chest rises and falls again.

Her breathing seems stable and there are no other peculiarities, so the ability must have worked well.

‘I was half in doubt, but thankfully it worked.’

She had been so shocked that I panicked and blurted it out, but it was truly fortunate that there was no abnormality.

Yelena felt relieved and pulled up the blanket to cover her.

Enough to cover her desirable chest. Because it must not be seen by the eyes of others.

With the blanket covering up to her neck, Tatiana looked like a baby wrapped in swaddling clothes.

That sight was so lovely, Yelena pressed her lips to her forehead.

Kiss

“Have a pleasant dream, Mother.”

Moving her feet, which wouldn’t move well, Yelena managed to leave the room.

And the terrible situation of the hallway was revealed.

Bloodstains splattered everywhere and the pungent smell of blood rising.

The maids and servants were diligently wiping, but it was difficult to erase all traces in one day.

Yelena frowned and called the chamberlain, urging him to quickly erase the traces.

If it was difficult in a short time, at least do the area nearby first.

If her faint-hearted mother saw it, she would surely be greatly shocked, so they must quickly erase it before she wakes up.

Yelena, now an adult, went down to the underground prison.

In the underground prison where the survivors of this rebellion were gathered, her blood relatives were confined.

Her sisters and brothers. Tied by leashes so they couldn’t escape, they reacted violently as soon as they saw Yelena.

“You… you…! Let me go right now? Let go right now, you worm-like bitch!!”

Even though she was clearly her older sister, the princess used vulgar curses, having abandoned courtesy and respect.

“You still have the strength to speak?”

“Let go right now-!!!!”

Gnashing gnashing

Biting off her own nails, which she had carefully maintained until now, her younger sister screamed, almost having a seizure.

But for Yelena, they were just whining and gave her no particular impression.

“Be quiet, you’re noisy.”

Zing-

As her eyes shone golden again, the girl who had been having a seizure just a moment ago collapsed onto the floor.

Seeing that, the other younger sisters were terrified and supported the collapsed girl.

“If you don’t want to end up like that, you’d better stay quiet.”

After threatening her blood relatives who were full of fear, Yelena moved to the adjacent prison.

Unlike the next room which was crowded with over ten people, only two prisoners were confined here.

Her biological mother, Anastasia Romanova, and her youngest brother, who was only a few months old.

“How are you? The floor isn’t cold, is it?”

When Yelena spoke, Anastasia raised her head.

Anastasia’s golden eyes were darker than ever.

Well, seeing her master torn to shreds before her eyes, this level of reaction was expected.

“Hmm… It makes me a little sad if you don’t respond? Especially since you’re my biological mother.”

Again, Anastasia refused to answer and tightly hugged the baby in her arms. As if to protect the baby from her.

Ha.

You treat me so badly.

Slightly annoyed by that sight, Yelena called the soldiers.

As soldiers armed with sharp spears and knives came, Anastasia flinched and hugged the baby even tighter.

“Bring the baby immediately.”

As soon as her command fell, the soldiers rushed into the prison.

“Aaaaaah-!!!! No-!!!”

Anastasia screamed and resisted, not wanting her baby taken away, but the soldiers were the absolute majority.

Furthermore, since she was even leashed, despite Anastasia’s fierce resistance, the baby quickly came into Yelena’s hands.

Yelena stroked her younger brother’s cheek. Aww- Golden eyes resembling Anastasia’s and Yelena’s mint-colored eyes met.

“You have a cute brother. Fortunately, he doesn’t resemble that man, and he resembles you a lot.”

“Yelena… Haa… Please… Give… Give him back… Sob… My… My baby…”

“Isn’t he old enough to leave his mother’s arms? You did that to me, so I’m a little angry.”

“Please… Agh… Ugh… Pleaaase…”

“………”

“Huff… Sob… Yelena, please…”

“…….. Annoying.”

Seeing Anastasia begging like that continuously makes my stomach churn.

She completely neglected and abandoned me, yet she dotes on my brother like that.

If she had that much interest, she should have used it on me.

Yelena called her loyal subordinate. A moment later, her subordinate arrived.

“Take him far away and abandon him. Preferably to the extent that he doesn’t even know of this country’s existence.”

“Yes, understood.”

“Nooooo-!!!!”

Anastasia’s scream echoed loudly through the prison. The sound was so loud that Yelena covered her ears for a moment.

Why is she acting like that? I’m not killing him, I’m just taking him far away and abandoning him so he won’t appear before my eyes.

Isn’t that a very merciful end compared to my siblings who met a cruel death in pieces?

I showed this much mercy, yet this is the reaction.

Yelena, furious, opened the iron bar door and approached Anastasia.

Grab

“Ahk…!”

And grabbing her hair. Her fluffy pink hair, the same color as hers, was messily tangled.

Their eyes met in mid-air.

Unlike Anastasia’s golden eyes, which were filled with terror, Yelena’s mint-colored eyes were full of madness.

Just like him… like Mikhail in his prime.

Seeing those eyes, gasp. Anastasia screamed unconsciously.

“You said you loved the baby so much, didn’t you? Then I’ll let you hold him.”

As my and Mother’s baby.

The dolls of the two people overlapped.
