Chapter 1020: You Broke That... (1/2)

”Aaaaaa...”

*Crack!~*

The sound of bones breaking could be heard along with the suppressed cry of the pained voice of a woman!

Davis looked at the sight in front of him with wide eyes.

Nora Alstreim knelt on the floor as her head hung powerlessly while arms and legs were chained to the wall behind. The originally white robe she wore was soaked with her crimson blood, and her blonde hair strands were scattered on the floor by her side.

She had her lips slightly torn, a few of her teeth lost, her sharp nose shattered, and her eyes were crimson red. Her left cheek had sunk inwards, and her whole face seemed to be badly disfigured that it was bleeding, but the blood on her face already seemed to be somewhat dried, obviously from the abuse that she had been subjected to from the person in front of her.

Claire held on to Nora Alstreim's blonde hair with one of her hand, with the other clenched into fists, ready to plunge again as it was already colored in crimson blood. However, the moment the door behind them opened, she swiveled her head and saw that her son stepped into the room, his expression appearing stumped as if he possessed no words to her current actions.

Her expression turned into a grimace before she wryly smiled, ”I told you not to enter.”

Davis looked dumbfounded at the scene. Nora Alstreim's face was absolutely wrecked that she had difficulty opening one of her eyes while her other eye was completely closed as it seemed to be heavily bruised and swollen.

She seemed to be gasping in pain.

However, that wasn't what made him dumbfounded as he has expected such a scene to take place, but...

'Why is she crying?'

Looking at his mother's moist and red eyes as well as her tearful face, he felt dumbfounded.

Judging by what he saw, Nora Alstreim couldn't have injured his mother in any way other than with words.

”Go outside, Davis.”

Davis just shook his head. How could he leave after knowing the truth?

Nevertheless, if he told the truth at this point...

Davis raised his hand and placed it over his forehead, feeling stupid.

”It-it's... It's... n-not me...”

Nora Alstreim muttered tiredly.

”You're still not going to accept your wrongs!?” Claire's turned around as her face flushed with an enraged expression, but it appeared to be that she was also hurt by her repetitive answers.

”I... have d-done... nothing w-wrong....”

”Liar! You are nothing more than a two-faced liar! If I had that parting gift you delivered me in the secret entrance through Immeth Alstreim, it would be so much easier to prove that you are a two-faced liar!”

Nora Alstreim possessed an indifferent expression on her bloodied and battered face. Originally, she had raged as she was dragged away by her hair, but she was quickly put into place as the chains limited her movements on top of the two inscription seals that were placed on her.

Then came the interrogation, which she answered that it wasn't her all the time. It was when she discovered and came to accept that the other party was really Claire in their conversation to her shock that she said that it should be a misunderstanding, trying to make her understand when Claire suddenly started to rain down fists upon her in an enraged manner.

However, she wasn't even angered but glimpsed at Claire, who shed tears as she beat her down for some inexplicable reason. It wasn't as if she was the one who was being tortured but Claire.
