Chapter 276

The story that Tierre wanted to tell wasn't that complicated. It could even be considered a cliché from a certain perspective.

It was a story about a young lady who was ostracized by the people around her since she was born. She tried her best to gain the approval of others.

In the story, the young lady was treated as a monster by the people around her since she was young. It could be said that she suffered the coldness and warmth of the world.

The people around her looked at her in fear.

One of her parents wasn't home all year round and the other never looked at her as if she was his own daughter. Instead, it was as if they were looking at an accident that shouldn't exist.

Because of that, the young lady never had anyone around her who she could share her heart with. All she had was loneliness, emptiness, loneliness, and darkness.

Of course, no one around her dared to mistreat her.

Because the young lady was treated as a monster, the people around her were unwilling to get close to her. Not to mention provoking her on their own initiative. Only fools would do that.

That was why the young lady had always been alone and was not allowed to leave her house. She was either locked in her room or locked in the basement. The only place she was allowed to go was the training arena. Other than that, she couldn't go anywhere else.

Because of that, the young lady could only train herself hard since she was young. She even drew up a perfect and complete training plan for herself. She learned skills that matched perfectly and worked hard to raise her level.

The young lady naively believed that as long as she was strong enough, one day, she would be able to control the 'ghost' in her body and gain the approval of her family.

In fact, because of her hard work, the talent that she displayed was noticed by others.

Besides, some of the people in the family believed that they shouldn't restrict the young lady's future. Even if the 'ghost' in her body was terrifying, there was still value and other uses for it.

Under the advocacy of such voices, the young lady slowly gained some freedom.

Her father who wasn't home all year round took care of her during that period of time, which was rare.

It was so that if the young lady went berserk, there would be someone who could stop her by her side.

Her father was the top genius in the family. His talent was even considered to surpass her father, who was also the young lady's grandfather, to inherit the family.

Naturally, when no one had the confidence to stop the young lady in her berserk state, only the young lady's father could step up.

That was why the young lady's father brought her around during that period of time, traveling between the family, the palace, and the knighthood.

Under such circumstances, the young lady finally got to know some people who dared to get close to her.

Some of them were the princesses of the kingdom. They were thought to be the reincarnation of a hero and were the strongest people in the human race.

Some of them were the descendants of great nobles. Although they weren't particularly outstanding in terms of strength, they had a very calm mind.

The other one was a little mysterious. Not many people knew about her background, but she always had a gentle smile on her face. Even when the young girl told her that she was a monster that people feared, she never distanced herself from the young girl.

Thus, the young lady had friends and finally had a place where she could be considered 'human'.

However, the good times didn't last long, and the girl's situation, which had turned for the better with great difficulty, began to deteriorate again.

The years had passed away for the years. at once.

Because of the hidden injuries left behind by the girl's rampage, this existence who was once regarded as the pillar of the family finally passed away.

As the main culprit, the young girl was once again seen as the embodiment of disaster, a berserk monster. This caused the clansmen to declare how dangerous she was, saying that she should be locked in the basement and not allowed to come out.

. and.

After all, the young lady was no longer alone. She had the princesses of the kingdom and the descendants of great nobles by her side.

So, they intervened with their rights and prevented their people from interfering with her freedom.

Because of that, the young lady was lucky enough to escape.

However, what happened next completely dragged the young lady into hell.

That was ten years ago.

At that time, something big happened in the Imperial City.

The [Slaughterer Faction] of the old Demons broke into the Imperial City and started a massacre.

Originally, this was something that was impossible to happen.

There was a very high level enchantment around the capital city. It was simply impossible for the people of the Devil Race to silently attack the capital city.

Even if the other side seemed to have a very powerful spatial magic caster who had a way to break through the barrier, it was still impossible for them to sneak through the barrier with so many people without alerting anyone.

At most, the Demons would allow them to enter the Imperial City, or simply destroy the barrier around the Imperial City.

But once the barrier was destroyed, the Imperial Palace would definitely notice and face them head-on. With the power of the Royal Knights and the Royal Knights, even if their opponents were thousands of the old Demons, they would still be defeated.

However, things were progressing in the worst direction.

Thousands of assassins from the old Demons still managed to sneak into the Imperial City without anyone noticing.

The reason was simple.

They had a spy.

Someone was waiting for them in the Imperial City.

And this person had a special position in the Imperial City.

That person was the young lady's mother.

"What did you say?"

Shien was shocked when he heard Tierre's words.

Tierre could only remain indifferent to all of this.

"You didn't hear wrong." Tierre said faintly, "It was this mother who helped the people from [Slaughterer Faction]."

"Why?" Shien still didn't quite believe it, "Is she a spy for the Demons?"

"Of course not." While denying it, Tierre calmly said, "You know the status of the Elbe Family, and the wife of the next head of this family must have an extraordinary identity. Under normal circumstances, how could she be a spy for the Demons?"

Since her identity was high enough, there was no reason for her to be a dog for the old Demons, right?

Unless she was being threatened, or there were other benefits to be gained.

The mother that Tierre mentioned was for the latter.

"Do you know why that mother never looked at her daughter as if she was her own daughter? Instead, it was as if she was looking at an accident that shouldn't exist?" Tierre self-deprecatingly said, "Because that mother didn't marry out of her own will. Instead, a noble from a neighboring country arranged for her to be a pawn in the Kingdom."

"Neighboring country?"

Shien was stunned.

"That's right," Tierre coldly said, "She was a noble daughter of the Ragnar Empire in the North."

The Ragnar Empire was a neighboring country that shared a border with the Mithra Kingdom.

In the past, wars had broken out between the two countries.

Although, in the end, the two countries signed a non-aggression treaty and stopped fighting each other, as the saying goes, wars never disappeared, they just didn't surface.

There were still some people in that country who coveted the Kingdom, so they married the daughter of a noble from their own country. On the surface, it was claimed to be a marriage alliance, but in fact, it was to make the other party a spy to collect intelligence and secrets of the Kingdom and wait for an opportunity to act.

In other words, this mother never cared about her own family, but about the neighboring country that was her hometown — the Ragnar Empire.

For such a mother, the existence of the girl was nothing more than a "thing" that was born from the sacrifice made to complete a mission, not a family member that should be entrusted with feelings.

Not to mention that this daughter had the blood of a noble from the enemy country, so it was even more impossible for the mother to acknowledge her.

Just like that, the mother, who was a spy from the neighboring country, received an order from the Empire to create chaos in the capital and weaken the strength of the enemy country. The [Slaughterer Faction] was secretly placed in the capital.

And this matter was finally discovered by the girl's father.

As a result, the father chose to put righteousness before family and personally cut off the mother's head in front of the girl.

And after the girl was regarded as a sinner, she was hated by the other nobles and was completely ostracized by her own clan, and finally left the family.

This was the story of the girl — Tierre Erbein.
