Chapter 111 (2/2)

Benjamin was suddenly filled with helplessness

On the other hand

This was good, too He did not need to waste his energy to speak

He shook off Mary’s hand and took a few steps backwards, his face guarded

”Why did you do this?” He coldly asked

Mary choked and shook her head, the necklace still tightly held between her fingers, ”I… I had no choice! This was all for everyone, all for… all for Grant”

Grant?

Benjamin only had more questions ”Why would your intent to kill me be related to Grant?” He asked i She was deep in some sort of emotion that she could not retract herself fro to herself, ”You… All of you had no idea how hard this is forI did was for this family, even Claude didn’t care… Do you know? Grant was nearly assassinated when he was young, but Claude? Claude wasn’t even worried! He toldto protect hi to protect him aside from us?”

Benjamin stood at the side as he indifferently watched Mary, as nearly in hysterics Benja a particularly disgusting perfor did not stop As she continued to lay herself bare, her control over her emotions faltered; the necklace that she clutched on looked as if it was going to break apart under the force of her grip

”You don’t understand how hard I worked to protect this fa and criticizingout of control, ”Do you knoould secretly switch the nuht after that incident I would switch it back before the sun rose… I did this for more than 10 years It waskidnapped! But, no one knew, no one…”

Fck…

Benjamin could not maintain his indifference after that

What was she saying?

Benjas now could not be described with a siht Benjaht? Then, what did Mary mean with this? She knew Benjamin was kidnapped? Then, why did she remain quiet?

What happened to fair treath already, he never ientle Mary, would be worse than Claude!

Also, does thiswas not an accident after all?

Benjamin lost his ability to for he experienced during the initial days of his teleportation was because Mary changed their door plates every day?

She was indeed a very…responsible mother

Hah

”You shouldn’t blame me for this, what I did was all for the fa to kill Grant in the Kingdoht… That night when the Holy Knight sent you back, I was the only one at hoht, if Grant wasn’t such an a child, if - if he was you, does it mean that he will then be able to live on safely? Then… I don’t knohat happened to ht haunted me, and when I saw the notice in the streets, I was foolish and…and…”

Benjamin backed off hurriedly and shook his head when he saw Mary approaching hi his hand Benjaine that this was the reason why Mary would hire an assassin to kill hione crazy Crazy and foolish

He could not comprehend how obsessed Mary was, nor the aenius Regardless, Benjaical son! A normal mother would never kill her son off for a reason like that

In her eyes, was Benjamin just Grant’s cannon fodder?

No wonder No wonder the madame always treated her with attitude

”Please, please forgive me I did this for the Lithur family, for the future of the household… You cannot blame me” Mary looked at Benjamin, her eyes full of suppressed insanity

Her ether, her eyes bloodshot She was treround

”I will not blame you,” Benjamin said, his tone chilly as he shook his head, ”I will tell everything to father, grandmother, and everyone”

Benjaive him a satisfactory answer, at least on this matter Besides, the madame would probably be very interested in this, too

This mess should finally reach its end now

Mary promptly shook her head as she stepped backwards ”Your… Your father is still in the lands, your grand tea with Lady Wood… There’s… There’s onlyShe struggled out of her uncontrollable eentle and soft Mary With the words she just said, the atmosphere in the hallway suddenly became eerie

There was… only her?

A bad premonition rose in Benja roos Benjamin could not see any of the servants who usually populated the Lithur Manor The servants ere standing by the door a fewwas up What was happening? A chill shot down Benja happened in the family?

”Where are the others? Jereo?” He glared at Mary as he snapped at her Then, he stopped caring and started shouting, ”Jeremy! Jeremy, come out! Jeremy!”

His voice echoed in the empty house No one replied

”I I sent all of them away” Mary wiped off the reer choked up; her voice slowly became calm and steady She see to do?” Benjamin stepped backwards He was prepared to cast some spells

Mary shook her head as she looked at Benjamin in peace ”I did this for the Lithur faive me Claude, Claude would understand why I did this”

Benjamin cursedto do, but his instincts were screa very terrifying was going to happen soon

He turned and prepared himself to leave At the exact moment, the door to the Lithur Manor was pushed open Si room, moved As if she hadgrip that it broke without warning She flung the necklace away, sprinted to Benjamin and kneeled in front of his and wailed

Benjamin was dumbfounded What?

She cried and wailed, ”Grant, how… How could you do this? My Grant, oh, my child… You, you really…”

With her words, the pearls froround They bounced around the living rooround echoed in the room

Outside the opened door, a platoon of people walked in, and the leading tere the bishop and Accius Fulner Behind the to see the stunned Benja Mary

The ate

Accius suddenly snorted and took a step forward He shouted at Benjaavel to announce a death sentence, ”Grant Lithur, as an apprentice priest as fortunate to receive the God’s blessing for your talent with the holy light, you betrayed God’s light and committed a sin with a person of your same sex! I’ve already told the bishop what you did, and tomorrow, you will be tied to the Sinner’s Cross and burnt to death This will clean the holy light you tainted with your filth!”

After Accius finished, the pearls on the floor stopped rolling around, like corpses who finally stopped their painful struggle and gave in to the eternal darkness
