Chapter 1.20 - Kind and Cruel (Unedited) (2/2)

‘I don’t know if I can see Fiona’s face after this.’

He heard that she want them to be friends, but that was a promise that could be broken at any time. No, in fact, even after today, Fiona might go back to Heilon Manor and she would completely forget about him, she might have a busy life every day. She might find another kid since orphans like him were all over the place.

Sigren looked up.

“—so i’ll give you two options.”

With a clear voice, Fiona spread out her two fingers. The sunlight fell on her. The fine silver hair shone brightly.

“ The first choice is to get out from the wall naked.”

Her words were saying getting out, yet in fact, it meant nothing more than to kick them out.

“The second choice.”

Fiona pointed her index finger at an important part near the mercenaries’ pants and spoke cheerfully.

“Cut it.”

“….”

At that moment, a tremendous heavy silence came down to the village square. Now the mercenaries’ faces were not white but blue.

Fiona tilted her head with a face like, “what, you did not expect this much punishment?”

Sigren’s expression was in the same manner.

That was indeed the northern way. The punishment was straightforward. Those who stole, cut the wrist, those who molested women….

Well, they had no room for sympathy.

“Of course, I’m going to give you at least amount of mercy.”

Regardless of the atmosphere of the village square. Fiona clapped her hands and ended the conversation with a cheerful voice.

“So it’s up to you to choose.”
