14 [1-14] Portraits of Blood Roses (2/2)

--...... So that's a form of revenge. If you think about it, killing is just a moment of pain. It's good to make a name for yourself, scare people, and then finally attack and kill them. Let them die in slow despair. ...... After this case is over, I'll think about self-branding as a medium- to long-term policy.

But ...... they also do terrible things to girls who are not even old enough.

The fact that there was someone else who pitied her made her heart pound in a different way.

It seemed to warm her already shattered heart a little to know that there was someone else who felt sorry for her.

The King's brother's group didn't say anything, but they did say that they killed him after giving him a rough time. There is a story that when he went up to the execution table, his face was so beaten up that he couldn't even tell whether he was a man or a woman. You'd think he'd want to turn into one of them.

The branch manager (master) also said sadly.

That's a rumor that's been going around, but it's true that he was given a rough time.

A life taken from me. A mother taken from me. A meaningless torment. Hilbert, the pretender. Lawrence, the knight-errant who betrayed the king and undermined everything Rene had been robbed of. ......

--Yes. I'll make it right, I promise.

”...... Iris?

I'm not sure if you've seen this before, but I'm sure you've seen it before.

I'm afraid of your face.

”Oh, uh, that's terrible. ......

”Really?

Deanna looked at Iris with pain.

I don't know much about politics. I don't know much about politics, but I just can't believe that people who make little girls look like that are decent.

Iris (Rene) was silent. I know firsthand that they are not decent. Now I don't know if Iris (Rene) is decent either.

”Anger is poison for the body and the mind, Iris. Take it easy on yourself.

”It's okay to be angry at ....... Why can't I just laugh and forgive whatever happens?

I'm not sure if this is a good idea or not, but I think it's a good idea. You can't just laugh at it and forgive it.

Then Diana shook her head as if to say, ”That's not the point.

Someone has to be angry at unreason. But you can't be happy when you're angry. That's why I don't want you or any other child to look like that. I want you to smile. Leave the dirty work to the adults.

Smile. ......

Yeah, yeah. A smile, especially on a girl's face, is like magic in itself.

I don't mean to be a child.

He's got to grow some hair on his bottom before he can talk like that.

Ow!

Deanna poked Iris lightly in the head.

Iris (Rene) can read Deanna's emotions.

Just as she had said, her heart was filled with warmth and love.

Iris wondered if she could say the same thing if she were to see Rene in her true form. In any case, her words would not be enough to save her. If there is such a thing as a 'happy function' in the human heart, Iris's has already been broken.

--What I should do is not to smile and be happy. So, for example, ......

I'm not sure if this is a good idea, but I think it's a good idea.

When she had read Diana's emotions earlier, she had picked up on a reaction that concerned her.

The range of perception expanded around Iris (Rene) in the Adventurer's Guild branch.

Joy, anger, sorrow, fear, confusion, desire, and the sincere prayers of the clergy: ......

We can read the various emotions of the people living in the city.

Among them, there was ”hostility”. A coldly honed hostility, unmixed with anger or resentment.

Normally, when people develop hostility toward someone, it is as a result of anger or resentment.

To skip that process and develop hostility is ...... an example of what an assassin who wants to kill someone for work might look like.

--Something's coming.

I don't know where this feeling is directed, and I don't know if it's related to Night Python. But it seemed worth at least trying to find out.

--I'm just an escort, a shadow. I'd have to be passive.

If there's an opportunity for me to jump in, I can't let it pass me by. We'll get him!

And I don't want Deanna to see it. And I don't want Deanna to see it. If she gets any more worried, she might just say she's going to cancel the quest and leave.

Deanna. I think I'll go home first. I'm going to pick up some dried fruits from Waterfowl on the way, so I might be late.

”Really?　Have a safe trip back.

Okay.

I was about to run into the danger myself, but of course I didn't say that to her.
