Mayo was the chief apothecary of the Izeluma Family. He had been employed by the Izeluma Family since he was very young.
After all, since the goal was to create the most beautiful humans, it was impossible for Huang Jinji and Bai Yinji to not pay attention to their diet. Therefore, Huang Jinji and Bai Yinji not only had their own maids, but also their own apothecary, tailor, and so on.
And their apothecary was Mayo.
In other words, Mayo had grown up with Huang Jinji and Bai Yinji, as well as Carina and Regina. They were childhood sweethearts, and they had known each other for at least ten years.
When he found out about Huang Jinji's death, Mayo's first thought was to avenge her.
Therefore, when Lenise followed Carina's footsteps into the forest, Mayo secretly followed her, planning to find a way to kill Lenise in the forest.
However, he didn't expect to bump into Karina in the forest and learn the truth about Huang Jinji's death from her.
If it was just the truth, it wouldn't be a big deal. But Carina actually told him that she wanted to escape from the Izeluma Family.
Perhaps it was because they were childhood sweethearts that Karina trusted Ma Yue very much. She told him the truth without any hesitation.
However, Mayo was furious.
He couldn't accept Karina's departure because it meant that he would never be able to see Huang Jinji's beauty again. This was something he couldn't accept no matter what. The reason why he wanted to avenge Huang Jinji was because her beauty had been erased.
That's right. Although Mayo, Huang Jinji, and Carina were childhood sweethearts, in his eyes, there was only Huang Jinji's beauty, nothing more.
Therefore, Mayo killed Carina, who had absolute trust in him.
Just to keep Huang Jinji's beauty.
This was the standard magician's logic. In order to pursue their own path, even if the person in front of them was a loved one, they would abandon and erase them.
Mayo was a standard magician. He ignored human nature and only saw what he wanted to see. Nothing else could enter his eyes.
Was this wrong?
Of course not.
For magicians, this was a very normal thing. There was no need for anyone to criticize him. Any magician would think that Ma Yue had done the right thing.
In front of such beauty, one's freedom and life were no different from dust, weren't they?
"So that's how it is. Then it can indeed be said to be normal."
Sovereign Baluyereta nodded with a look of approval on his face. "Killing Karina in order to preserve that beauty is indeed a matter of course."
As the monarch, she was the authority here. Her words carried extraordinary weight. To the magicians, it was as convincing as the dogma in a textbook.
Balon's face also lost its gloominess and calmness returned to his face. What Mayo had done wasn't a serious crime. It was just the death of a maid, so there was no need to make such a big fuss.
Although the magicians in the crowd didn't say it out loud, most of them agreed after thinking for a while.
Ermero II looked at the faces of the people around him and his expression became more and more depressed. The wrinkles between his eyebrows seemed to have deepened.
As the only ordinary person among the crowd, Grey felt suffocated by the idea of killing. Even though she was among the crowd, she didn't feel the slightest bit of warmth. There was only a chill spreading from the bottom of her heart.
Ryuga didn't say a word during the whole process.
"Taking this opportunity, I have a question to ask teacher."
Aoqi Orange seemed to have thought of something and asked the old woman beside her, "Teacher, what do you think of me being sealed?"
"What else can I think?"
The old woman shrugged and revealed a straightforward smile on her face. "Of course, it couldn't be better. In fact, it was I who strongly recommended you to the Clock Tower that you were sealed and designated. As your teacher, I know best that your talent should be preserved well."
Grey felt suffocated once again. The cloak on her body couldn't give her any warmth.
"I knew it would be like this …"
Aoqi Orange lowered her head and murmured. Her face didn't show it, but no one knew what she was thinking in her heart.
"Ha … Hahahaha!"
In the crowd, seeing that he had the support of the Monarch and the surrounding magicians, the ferocious expression on Mayo's face quickly disappeared and was replaced by a look of ecstasy. His originally pale face became flushed with excitement.
Then, he took out a medicine box from his bosom. Under everyone's surprised gaze, he quickly opened it, causing a strange fragrance to spread in the hall.
"Ka —"
A crisp sound, like glass shattering, sounded in the silent hall.
Everyone in the hall looked in the direction of the sound.
Aoqi Orange lowered her head.
There was a crack in her chest, and a green plant sprout grew out of it. It seemed to have grown out of her body without her noticing it beforehand.
"So that's how it is … Is it a plant mixed in with the memory-impeding medicine? It was originally fine, but it reacted with this fragrance, so it grew out of my body? "
It was obviously a fatal situation, but Aoqi Orange's words didn't have the slightest trace of nervousness. It was as if the plant growing out of her body wasn't her at all.
"That's … That's right! This is what I did to the drug … the drug that obstructs memories! "
Mayo raised the medicine box and looked at Aoqi Orange excitedly. "Do it again! Let's … let's do it again! Aoqi … Miss Aoqi! Even if Karina is gone … But there is still Estella and … and Regina! They can all become the materials for Cinderella! Let that kind of beauty … appear in the world again! "
"Don't … Otherwise, this plant … will crush all your internal organs! Even if you are a Crown Magician … If your internal organs are crushed … you won't be able to survive! "
Silver Magician Estella and her personal maid Regina looked at Mayo with a complicated expression.
As childhood sweethearts who grew up together, they were treated like a test subject by the other party. Their hearts were filled with regret and anger.
Ryuga's eyes were cold, looking at Mayo without the slightest emotion. Only he could kill Aoqi Orange, no one else could touch her.
"Ah, I didn't tell you, did I?"
Aoqi Orange didn't have any intention of surrendering. Instead, the smile on her face became more cheerful. "I was plotted against once. Since then, I reflected on it and put it in my body … Don't worry, it will only chew you up like minced meat."
