Chapter 295 – Consequences (1)

Translator: Atlas / Editor: Regan

Cerdina had much in common with Estia.

She had been beautiful. Everyone considered her to be the fairest woman in the Empire. But no one would think so, looking at her now.

Cerdina came back to consciousness in an alley, and instead of the beautiful gowns she had always worn, there were only tattered rags. She had been stripped of her jewels and all her other splendid decorations.

As she rolled over in the filth of the alley, her eyes turned up to the sky. The black clouds were gone and white clouds were flecked against the blue sky like paint. Blankly, she gazed up at the picturesque view.

The pain that suddenly struck her was hellish.

Reflexively, Cerdina grabbed for her arms with both hands, only to find there were no arms, there were no hands, it was only thoughts, automatic and futile reflex.

“……!”

Her body wouldnt move the way she wanted it to, and Cerdina looked at herself with trembling eyes. Where her arms were supposed to be, there were only scars from where they had been ripped away. The pain was a phantom pain from limbs that were not there.

Cold sweat poured down her face at the agony of the missing limbs. One by one, she recalled the events that had happened before she collapsed, the memories flashing through her mind.

Her red blood. Piercing screams. Overflowing rage.

Her body weakened as she convulsed, her eyes shaking wildly.

It would have been better if she had died.

She would rather have died. Her heart would have hurt less if she had died at Blains hands. She could do anything for her beloved son. She wouldnt have been afraid to give her body to him. She would have loved it if he had eaten her heart.

If she could have given everything she had to Blain, she would have died in peace.

Tears slid down her cheeks and fell to the ground. Cerdina gritted her teeth, her face hardening.
