As far as I can remember, the only impression I have of my mother is a coffin surrounded by flowers placed in the Demirian Cathedral.

And his father, the Grand Duke, never said anything about his mother's death.

He just required herself to learn swordsmanship, military tactics, and martial arts extremely strictly, and forbade her to have anything that a normal girl should have.

For eighteen years, like a walking blade, the reason for its existence is only to show the sharpness of the surname Izugonita.

No matter how well I do, my father will just respond perfunctorily.

She wanted to get rid of this kind of life, so she tried her best to become stronger.

The ninth-level sword master is second only to the emperor, so she will become the sword master.

If she is qualified to join the Wolf Riders, she will bring honor to her family, and then she will climb up to become the leader of the regiment.

Apart from the three grand dukes, there are only four executive officers under the emperor who can be ranked alongside him, so she will become the second executive officer!

After finally being able to stand shoulder to shoulder with her father, she was finally able to reject his control.

She had never lived for herself before.

When he was finally free, the disgusting Second Prince came back to bother him again.

After rejecting his advances again and again.

One day, his father gave him an order again.

Engaged with the second prince.

She knew why her father did this.

The position of Grand Duke was so high that he had to give something to the royal family to express his loyalty.

How can Your Majesty sleep comfortably if I don't try my best to demonstrate my loyalty?

But this had nothing to do with her resentment.

She cursed the Second Prince who kept pestering her and hated her father who had never cared about her since she was a child.

Rumors slandering her spread everywhere, saying how cold-blooded and cruel she was and how she had done all sorts of evil.

She also said how infatuated the Second Prince was with her, and it was a pity that she, such a wicked woman, had let the Second Prince down.

It's needless to say who ordered people to spread these vicious rumors.

But Grand Duke Moon turned a deaf ear to this and allowed her reputation among the nobles to deteriorate.

By acquiescing to these false rumors, she was clearly telling her:

Marry the Second Prince, otherwise even your father won’t care about you!

At this time, she heard the news that Faro had regained his title.

She investigated Faro, who had also lived a life of being manipulated by others, but he actually disobeyed his uncle and refused to give up the title of earl.

He was clearly just an ordinary person who was powerless a few days ago, but he did not listen to the arrangements of his elders and took the first step to rebel.

This fascinated her.

Her slender fingers stopped writing, and she looked at the approved application letter for the new Night Hunter, and a smile unconsciously appeared at the corners of her mouth.

Perhaps she herself did not notice that she had already developed some special feelings for this purple-haired boy in her heart.

Chapter 10: Destined Death

Abbey of St. Bonte.

A kind-looking priest was holding Farrow's hands and said gratefully:

"Master Faro, thank you so much for your generous donation to the monastery's renovation project. Your good deeds will definitely be remembered by the Dark Moon Cult."

"You are too kind, Father Set. St. Bonte's Abbey is located within Walsh's territory. I am only fulfilling my responsibilities as the lord."

Faro had a smile on his face, as gentle as jade. The stained glass of the church reflected the light, giving him a hazy glow, exuding a sacred and gentle atmosphere.

Even if the Son of Dark Moon came to the world, it would be no more than this.

The priest couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

"If your parents in Dark Moon's heaven could see that you have grown into such a great person, they would surely be very pleased."

The priest looked emotional.

"No, it's still far from that. Besides, I have something to trouble you, Father."

"Master, just ask. You have donated so much to the monastery. We will spare no effort to help the monastery."

"It's like this, I have a girl named Vera here..."

Faro recounted Vera's story.

After hearing this, the priest showed compassion on his face, picked up the dark moon pendant hanging around his neck and prayed:

"My God Themilas, please protect this poor girl who has been contaminated by the chaos of the outer realm."

"Don't worry, Lord Earl. I will definitely place Miss Vera here. There are fifth-level clergymen in the monastery who can help Miss Vera alleviate the degree of pollution."

"Okay, I'll leave it to you."

Farlow walked out of the church.

Since Vera's final outcome was that she was corrupted and degraded after being contaminated by the Abyss, and turned into a villain witch who was wanted by everyone.

So he placed Vera in this humble monastery before she turned evil.

Not only can she avoid trouble, but she can also rely on the sacred protection of the monastery to protect her from harassment from outsiders.

And after Faro donated a large sum of money to the monastery, Vera could also have a secure life here.

Avoiding becoming a witch and surviving as a normal human girl might be a good ending.

Faro lowered his head, a smile forming on his lips.

He felt very empathetic towards Vera when he was playing the game.

Now he could do something for her to reverse the sad ending, which fulfilled one of Faro's wishes.

------

"Come on, Vera, I'll show you where I live."

Faro looked at the thin girl at the door of the monastery.

Vera was still nervously pinching the hem of her new dress with her hands, looking around timidly.

"It's okay, don't be afraid. The nuns and priests here are all very nice people. I've also informed them in advance. They will take good care of you."

The boy's voice was as clear and magnetic as the spring breeze, just like the clarity of his eyes, blowing into Vera's heart.

Only then did she gradually let down her guard.

"Then... can't I go to your place and be a maid? I don't..."

Vera wanted to say "I don't want to be separated from you", but she held it back in the end.

"I'm not...used to being around people I don't know."

Faro helped her tidy up the hair hanging down beside her ears and said with a smile: "You also know that I have a fiancee who is not easy to mess with, so it will be very troublesome."

"Don't worry, I'll come visit you often."

"Once all the pollution in you is purified, you can come to work in the Walsh family's perfume shop, although it may be a long time later..."

"But I believe you can hold on, right?"

Vera didn't dare to look at that smile that was as bright as the moon and the breeze. She just lowered her head before her face turned red like a ripe apple.

But the white mist coming out of her head still showed the girl's shy mood.

[Damn it... Why did the fiancée named Celie get such a good deal? She's so sarcastic and unreasonable. How did Faro fall for her? ]

Vera couldn't help feeling a little jealous.

Soon, the two arrived at Vera's room.

The room was spacious and tidy, simple and elegant, and spotlessly clean. It was obvious that Father Seth really cared about this matter.

Vera and Faro were both very satisfied.

"Please sit down first. I'll open the curtains for you."

Farlow began to pull at the curtains.

But the moment his hand touched the curtain, the whole world seemed to be a moving film with the pause button pressed.

Everything turned gray in Vera's eyes, and the air was eerily quiet.

The girl's face froze.

Muttering in anger:

"It's you again..."

"Why do you still show up? How long are you going to pester me?!"

Vera suddenly lost control of her emotions and shouted at the top of her lungs.

Am I destined to be unable to escape the darkness of the past?

As if responding to Vera's words.

In the corners where the sun cannot reach, shadows seem to be crawling.

Soon it condensed into a human shape and slowly walked in front of Vera.

"I told you, there's no way I'd give up this precious body of yours."

"Those mages don't understand your value at all. They foolishly used the Abyss in your body to conduct experiments. They don't know that your body is an excellent carrier of the Abyss."

Vera stared at the outland demon coldly. If looks could kill, it would have died countless times.

"Look, only you can see me in the Abyss. Similarly, only I can help you and give you strength."

It was impossible to tell whether the demon's voice was male or female, but one could clearly sense the teasing in it.

"I won't borrow your power anymore. Do you want to take over my body step by step? Just give up on this idea."

Vera replied coldly.

The demon was startled, as if it understood something, and looked at Faro.

"Is this the guy who helped you absorb the Deep yesterday?"

“I never thought something like this would happen.”

After the demon carefully looked at Faro's body, a strange laugh came out of its disembodied body.

"What are you laughing at?" Vera frowned. "Stay away from him."

"Hehe, it seems like you have feelings for him?"

"This has nothing to do with you, get away from him."

The demon grinned and said, "Then you will need my strength even more in the future."

"From my perspective, he seems to have offended the Most High Chosen One, and his body is covered with the black lines of doomed death."

"His fate had already been determined several dimensions away, but he managed to break free from the shackles, so he was targeted by the world's correction force."

"In other words, he is defying fate and changing his own mortality."

"Using your human logic, if you like him, you definitely won't watch him die, right?"

"Then my power will come in handy. At least in this world, it's no problem for me to protect him."

Vera looked incredulous, but soon realized that it might be a lie.

"Why should I believe you? Who knows if you are just trying to deceive me so that you can take over this body step by step?"

The demon made a disdainful sound.

"Humans are not qualified for me to lie to you. Besides, in principle, demons will not lie to people."

"I can temporarily let you see the world from my perspective."

"This way you'll know if I've lied to you."
