Below each of her palms was a crystal glass filled with scarlet blood.

One of the glasses was already full. Roswaal turned around, casually picked up the crystal glass, raised it to Subaru Natsuki in a toasting gesture, and then tilted his head back and drank the blood wine in the glass in one gulp.

His lips were smeared with blood, making them even more vibrant, and a joyful, lingering smile appeared on his face.

"Mmm~ The virgin's sweetness, it tastes really good~"

"You bastard!"

Natsuki Subaru's eyes blazed with fury, and he charged forward without a second thought, clenching his fists.

however……

Boom!

A few seconds later, he flew back like a piece of trash and crashed heavily to the ground.

Roswaal stood up, twirling his cane as he looked down at him.

"Subaru, you're just a spectator who happened to be there."

If you're smart enough, you should sit in the VIP seats and watch this great show I'm directing.

Of course, if you're unwilling to follow my rules, then I'll have to expel you from the 'theater'.

"Roswaal, you bastard!"

Natsuki Subaru lay on the ground, staring intently at Roswaal's clown-like, comical face, cursing through gritted teeth.

Roswaal chuckled softly and said calmly:

"Lamu, teach our guests what etiquette is."

"Yes, Master."

Natsuki Subaru suddenly heard a familiar voice behind him and couldn't help but shudder.

He hadn't forgotten a single one of the terrifying scenes he'd just witnessed.

Before he could turn around, a pair of slender hands had already placed on his shoulders.

"I'm sorry, Subaru-kun~ These are all Master's orders~"

His lighthearted tone carried an undisguised malice and cruelty, like that of a venomous snake.

"what!!"

Natsuki Subaru immediately felt a sharp pain in both shoulders and couldn't help but scream.

Immediately afterwards, he felt that as soon as he moved his arm even slightly, intense pain would strike.

Ram actually dislocated both of his arms.

The intense pain was unbearable for Subaru Natsuki, and snot and tears flowed uncontrollably from his nose and face.

"Let's take the final step."

Roswaal, with that strange tone, raised his cane and slammed it down.

Clang!

Roswaal drew a rapier from his cane.

The sword's blade was extremely thin, seemingly only a finger's width, yet it was exceptionally sharp, gleaming with a cold, bluish-gray metallic luster even in the darkness.

Roswaal turned to face Emilia, who was nailed to the wooden frame.

"no, do not want!"

Natsuki Subaru seemed to know what he wanted to do, and despite the excruciating pain, she looked at him with a pleading expression.

Roswaal seemed particularly pleased with Subaru Natsuki's pleading voice, his lips twitching to the sides, and a pleased smile involuntarily appearing on his face.

"That's right~ that's exactly it~"

"Wouldn't this carefully crafted performance be utterly boring without an audience?"

As he spoke, Roswaal showed a regretful expression and spread his hands out to Subaru Natsuki.

"I'm sorry, Subaru-kun."

As the most crucial part of this play, Emilia must die today; even God cannot save her.

"No!"

Amidst Subaru's desperate wails, Roswaal plunged his rapier into Emilia's chest.

A large amount of blood immediately gushed from the wound, instantly staining Emilia's white dress red, like a spider lily quietly blooming on Emilia's chest.

"So beautiful..."

This red spider lily, forged from fresh blood, was so vibrant that even the instigator, Roswaal, was mesmerized.

Emilia suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood, her head slowly lowered, and she soon fell silent.

Emilia is dead...

Roswaal bowed deeply to Subaru Natsuki, as if taking his final bow as an actor.

"Roswaal! You bastard!"

I'll kill you! I'm going to kill you!

Natsuki Subaru suddenly went berserk, like a wounded and raging wild beast.

Despite his hands hanging limply at his sides, unable to exert any force, he still managed to stumble and get up from the ground, fueled by his willpower and anger.

However, before he could take two steps, Ram quickly stepped forward from behind, grabbed his head with both hands, and twisted it forcefully.

Click!

A crisp sound.

Natsuki Subaru immediately felt a sharp pain in his neck, and his gaze involuntarily turned to his back.

Ram snapped his neck.

"Oh my dear little Ram, you're being so rough with our guests!"

"I'm so sorry, Master."

With Roswaal's strange accent and Ram's insincere apology echoing in his ears, Subaru Natsuki's consciousness gradually faded into darkness...

"what!"

Natsuki Subaru woke up with a look of terror on his face and sat up abruptly in bed.

He subconsciously reached out and groped around his neck and arms.

"Huh! How come my neck and arms aren't broken?!"

Upon confirming that he was completely unharmed, Natsuki Subaru couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

"Sister! Sister! The guest's illness has started again!"

"Rem! Rem! The guest is in danger, we need to get away."

The familiar, sarcastic tone of the two voices came from the bedside.

Natsuki Subaru looked up and saw the familiar figure dressed in maid outfits, one blue and one pink.

He stared intently at the blue-haired figure, an expression of disbelief on his face.

"You...you weren't already...!?"

The words 'dead' almost slipped out, but Natsuki Subaru barely managed to hold them back, staring in horror at the two unharmed twin maids.

The blue-haired maid who was reduced to just a head, and the pink-haired maid who resembled a crazed killer.

The terrifying scenes from last night kept replaying in Natsuki Subaru's mind.

Chapter 490 Death Cycle (Part 1)

"Sister! Sister! The guest doesn't seem to be fully awake yet."

"Rem! Rem! The guest still seems confused."

Seemingly noticing Subaru's strange expression, the twin maids began to launch into a tirade of sarcastic remarks, much like a stand-up comedy routine.

If it were yesterday, Natsuki Subaru might have been in the mood for a passionate exchange with them, but after what happened last night, Natsuki Subaru's face was just twitching at the corners of his mouth, revealing an extremely ugly smile.

After being woken up by the twin maids, Natsuki Subaru washed up and went to the dining room for breakfast. His expression remained grim.

His expression darkened even more when he saw Roswaal, who had returned to normal, and Frederica standing behind him.

When Emilia appeared at the restaurant entrance, holding her cat Parker.

Bah!

Natsuki Subaru suddenly stood up from his seat, knocking over the teacup beside him and shattering it into pieces.

He was completely unaware of this, his eyes fixed on Emilia at the restaurant entrance, his gaze incredibly strange.

Seeing Subaru's strange behavior, everyone looked at him with suspicion. Only Roswaal's eyes flashed, and the corners of his mouth curled up, revealing a mysterious smile.

"What's wrong, Subaru-kun?"

Is there something dirty on my face?

Emilia felt a little embarrassed by his gaze and lowered her head to ask softly.

Upon hearing Emilia's voice, Subaru Natsuki suddenly jolted awake.

He soon noticed that everyone in the restaurant was looking at him strangely.

Natsuki Subaru's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly reached up to scratch the back of his head, putting on a silly smile and laughing awkwardly.

"No! No! It's because I didn't sleep well last night, and I still feel a little dizzy."

I'm sorry for the trouble!

Natsuki Subaru bowed deeply as he spoke.

However, as he lowered his head, Natsuki Subaru could no longer hold back, and his face showed an expression of utter shock and even terror.

It's restored! Everything's restored!

Was everything that happened last night really just a dream?!
