I'll kill you after I finish this game!

His blurred vision took in the corpses and people around him, or those who were about to become corpses.

Just like when she was bathing in the spring and her abuser approached her, Lizzie cried and desperately tried to escape, but the grinning Crusader in her sight still pierced her delicate body with his sword.

Her consciousness was swallowed by the deep darkness, and as she lay on the ground gradually losing her breath, she thought it was the end after experiencing the initial pain.

The darkness of death was silent, a welcome relief compared to the hellish scene just moments before, but Lizzie, trapped in the darkness, found no liberation.

A light that filled her with despair emerged from the darkness of her consciousness and vision.

She did not die, but survived. However, what was truly devastating was that she was not saved by kind people, but by the Crusaders.

The Crusaders had just finished a war, and the excited soldiers had nowhere to vent their frustrations. So, Lizzie, who had been urgently rescued and resurrected, was imprisoned and became a tool for countless Crusaders to vent their anger.

Crying, desperate, and begging for mercy, Lizzie was relentlessly tortured as countless soldiers unleashed their most primal human desires upon her.

She didn't care who saved her or who killed her; she prayed to the God she believed in for a miracle and mercy.

But it was no use. Lysette, who had been crying incessantly, cried until her tears ran dry and began to harbor resentment and curse.

Her prayers turned into curses, her gentleness into hatred, and her kindness was torn apart by humanity.

The once kind and devout girl began to lose all vitality, both physically and spiritually.

Useless, she was thrown into a garbage dump, and even on her deathbed, she used the last of her strength to curse God, the Crusaders, and everything that had persecuted her.

Later, she was rescued by another person, a mad dark magician, who granted her an immortal body and powerful vengeance.

Gradually, she became a witch feared by everyone. After her teacher passed away, she inherited his surname and changed her name to "Lizelot Verukumesta".

The white-clad girl named Lizzette is gone, chewed and devoured by the sins of this world.

The fragments spewed from those hideous fangs pieced together to form Liselotte, the world-destroying witch who embodied punishment.

This is the newborn named Lizzette, a witch who gave birth to terrifying evil from a body of pure goodness.

Liselotte!

"No!! I don't want to!!!"

Lizzie, who had just finished dreaming, awoke from an unimaginable, profound fear. With tears in her eyes and her face streaked with tears, she was trembling with terror from the horrific and tragic life she had lived.

Although she didn't see what happened next, Lizzie felt so much pain, as if she had actually experienced it herself, and she even felt it was real.

Moreover, this was not a coincidence, because Reigen actively intervened in multiple timelines for Lisette. When the various Lisettes converged, Reigen withstood the backlash of cause and effect for her, but she still received the afterimage of the rewritten timeline.

Without Reiji's arrival, there was only a very, very small chance that Lizzie, across multiple timelines, could find her own salvation.

Lizzie sat up in the soft bed and looked around in a panic, fearing that everything in her dream would become reality.

After all, she had thought that death was the end, but after being resurrected, she fell into hell, a hell where she could neither live nor die.

She was covered with a thin sheet, and there was a block of ice on the table at the edge of the bed that was cool but wouldn't melt, so that Lizzie wouldn't feel too hot.

The surrounding decor is simple and old-fashioned, neither luxurious nor shabby, striking a perfect balance.

The girl is now somewhat disoriented. She desperately wants to see Razer so she can understand her current situation.

"Lizzie, are you awake?"

A voice that brought joy and reassurance to Lizzie came from outside the door. Hearing footsteps, she realized what was happening and immediately began to frantically wipe away the tears on her face.

She didn't want the other person to see her like this, but the golden color that always captured her gaze and heart still made her walk in ahead of time.

Rezer brought a bowl of soup and some simple food to Lizzie's side and placed the plate on the table by the bed.

Looking at Ligete, who was looking down for some reason, Reizer glanced at her and noticed the dampness on the edge of her pillow.

Without saying a word, she reached out and touched the girl's face. When she touched the girl's soft, moist cheek, Lizzette's body trembled.

"Lift your head, Lizzie, why are you crying?"

The words and the man's gentle stroking motion made the girl, whose face was flushed with shyness and streaked with tears, slowly raise her head.

Lei Zhe gently wiped away the tear stains from the corner of the girl's eye, looking at the sad girl who had suddenly woken up with a look of comfort in his eyes.

"Lei Zhe...Sir..."

Feeling the warm touch on her cheek and being enveloped by an unimaginable sense of security once again, Lizzette finally let go of her fear.

An overwhelming sense of relief and joy welled up inside her. It was wonderful, truly wonderful, that Lord Razer was still by her side.

The relief of escaping the nightmare, and the joy of having the person I longed for by my side after losing them, almost made Lizzie cry again.

Why does she need him so much, even though they've only known each other for a day?

Did she need him? Or was she begging for protection? She didn't understand. She only felt her heart always beat faster in front of him, and she longed to stay by his side.

"You must be having a nightmare. This place is far from Béziers and the fortress. With me here, no one can hurt you."

Lei Zhe gently wiped away the girl's tears and whispered words of comfort to soothe her soul.

And Lizzie had indeed calmed down from the attack. A smile finally appeared on her face, but her eyes still held a hint of lingering fear as she hesitantly asked Reiji a question.

"Lord Reizer, how is the fortress...?"

Because of the incredibly realistic dream she had just experienced, Lizzie couldn't help but want to find something different in reality to put her mind at ease.

But Lei Zhe's next words sent a chill down her spine again.

"You slept all day; the fortress has long been breached by the Crusaders."

It was breached in just one day. What would have happened to me if I hadn't been rescued by Reiji?

The image of herself on the verge of death flashed through the girl's mind again, filled with anger and hatred, cursing the world and the god she once believed in every second.

Without Lord Razer, that... that would have been her fate.

Seeing the girl break out in a cold sweat, Reiji, out of respect for Lizzie, did not directly read her thoughts, but he guessed most of what was going on.

After he finished speaking, he brought the prepared food to Lizzie.

"Don't worry anymore. With me here, you must be hungry after sleeping for so long."

Lizzie's Puritan faith forbids killing and she has never eaten meat, so Rezer prepared a nourishing vegetarian meal for her.

When Lizzie heard what Reiji said, she touched her empty stomach and remembered that she hadn't eaten all day. Looking at the food in front of her, she still swallowed hard, her mouth watering.

However, when the girl lowered her head and reached for the utensils to eat, she calmed down and saw that her pure white sleeves and clothes had been changed, and her face immediately turned red with embarrassment.

The person who rescued her was Lei Zhe. Her original clothes were dirty and torn when she ran away, but now she was dressed in clothes made of more luxurious and comfortable fabric.

I've been seen naked again, huh? Why do I say again...? It seems like I was seen by him last time I went to the bathhouse.

Lizzie shook her head and forced herself to focus on the food, beginning to enjoy it with Reiji by her side.

After finishing her meal, Lizzie looked around but couldn't see her clothes. A little embarrassed, she asked Reiji:

"Lord Reizhe, where are my original clothes?"

“It’s lost,” Lei Zhe answered without hesitation.

"well!?"

“Your clothes are so worn out that they’re completely stained with blood and torn. You can wear this one from now on.”

Lei Zhe continued talking to himself, then took out a set of pure white clothes from the room cabinet that had been prepared beforehand.

In Lizzette's eyes, the clothes were like something only a princess would wear—pure white Lolita fashion, which was incredibly beautiful and lovely to a girl of that era.

"Can I really wear this kind of clothing?"

Girls love beauty, and Lizzie fell in love with the dress at first sight, but her modesty and shyness made her hesitate.

After all, Lizzie was just an ordinary Puritan girl. Although she dreamed of being a princess, she could distinguish between reality and dreams.

"These were originally meant for you to wear. Do you expect to move around in these thin pajamas?"

Seeing the girl's longing and a hint of self-doubt, Rezhe chuckled and said to Lizzie, then placed the clothes, headdress, white stockings, and exquisite shoes in front of her without further ado.

Looking at the girl's blushing face, Lei Zhe looked directly into her eyes and said:

"I'm really looking forward to seeing you wear it."

After saying that, Reiji left the room temporarily, waiting for Lizzie to get out of bed and tidy herself up before coming out.

The girl, alone in her room, finally couldn't resist the temptation and reached out to touch the beautiful, gorgeous, and extremely comfortable clothes.

Remembering that Lei Zhe had said he wanted to see it, the girl temporarily set aside her reserve and began to slowly put on her clothes.

A moment later, Lizzie, clinging to the door frame like a startled or shy little animal, revealed half of her exquisite attire to Reizer outside the door.

The girl wore a lace-trimmed hair clip in her silver-white hair, with white bows on both sides of the clip.

She wore a white ribbon bow around her neck, and her clothes were all white, with a snow-white skirt that was trimmed with lace and ruffles at the hem.

The sleeves of the dress are puffed up at the shoulders, covering about half of the arm, while the other half of the sleeve has three layers of pleats.

Now, with her petite figure and already exquisite appearance, Lizzie really does look like a shy little princess.

Reizer then offered the compliment that Lizzette wanted to hear, saying, "It looks beautiful and suits you very well, Lizzette."

This is a heartfelt statement. Like her daughter, Xiaoyou, Lizzie is indeed a princess-type clothes hanger. No matter what she wears, she exudes a cute and lovable aura, making people feel an irresistible urge to protect her.

"...Thank you."

Clutching her skirt tightly, Lizzie lowered her head shyly and joyfully. The praise from the person she longed for was what she wanted to hear most, and what she desired most.

"Hey, Lizzie, what are your plans for now and the future?"

Hearing Rezer's question, Lizzet felt a jolt in her heart. She didn't answer immediately, feeling confused. But when she looked into Rezer's eyes, she realized that he might leave again.

"I don't know, may I... follow Lord Reiji?"

"...I'm afraid that won't work. I can only stay with you for a little longer."

Upon hearing Lei Zhe's words and his head-shaking in denial, the girl felt her eyes welling up with tears, and her heart ached with pain and disappointment.

Why leave? Isn't it good to stay here? Stay with me...

If not, I can come along; I won't cause any trouble...

Lizzie wanted to say it, but she couldn't say it, she was too embarrassed to say it, and she couldn't muster the courage to say it.

In a short period of time, she developed a great dependence on Razer. Whenever this man appeared, he would protect her and give her an unimaginable sense of security.

She still remembered what they had talked about that night; she had been asked to help her, and now she had saved her twice in a row, which was a great help.

But she was terrified. She was terrified that after Lei Zhe left, the things in her dream would become reality. She was afraid that she would be maliciously hurt when Lei Zhe was not around.
