Chapter 73: – The First Letter (73)

༺ The First Letter (73) ༻

My wrecked body begged for rest.

My stiff muscles felt as heavy as lead, and my clothes were soaked with all kinds of blood—a mixture of my blood and those of my opponents.

And among the bloodstains that decorated my top was the blood of the woman who was collapsed in front of me. Delphine Yurdina, heir to one of the 5 most prestigious families in the empire and also the leader of the North.

She looked up at me in a daze from the ground. It was evident from her expression that she couldn’t understand what I had just said. Everyone else also wore similar expressions.

An eerie silence settled into the glade, but I didn’t mind it one bit. Only one thought ran through my head.

I needed to get revenge for the pain Celine, Seria, and Senior Elsie suffered.

Senior Delphine started staggering backwards, but I threw my hatchet at her again to stop her resistance.

Pak!

Fresh blood dyed her skin as the hatchet lodged into her other shoulder.

“Kyaa?! Aaaaaaaagh!”

Unable to endure the pain, Senior Delphine screamed as the hatchet struck her again. With this, she was no longer able to use either shoulder, preventing her from possibly wielding her sword again.

A sigh escaped my lips.

“That was for Celine. And the next one……”

“I surrendered!”

A scream erupted from Senior Delphine’s mouth as her body trembled with eyes wide open as if she was having a convulsion. Grinding her teeth as she tried to ignore the pain, Senior Delphine suppressed the humiliation, anger, and fear.
