Away from the battle, Karsa was still pursuing a man in white from a distance.
Suddenly, Karsa stopped and said, "Is that man dead?"
At that moment, the man in white was hurrying along, carrying Rosa and Camilla on his back.
He took out a pendant with a black star and said, "It's good that I possess this magical trace that conceals the presence of the Sani. That man who was following me was using my Sani to track me..."
A few moments later, a man in white arrived at a dilapidated hut belonging to the master of the Meganon organization, where Malcom and Lang Yu were standing under a tree.
He placed Rosa and Camilla on the ground and knelt before Malcom,
saying, "This humble servant salutes the First Commander of the Shadow of the Great Duchy of Zatopia."
Malcom spoke, "Well done, .... Ben."
The man in white removed his mask, revealing Ben, the chief servant of the Bamira family.
Lang Yu remained silent, watching from afar.
Malcom spoke. "Wake the young lady..."
Ben stands up and slaps gantely Camilla on the neck.
She wakes up and opens her eyes.
At that moment, Malcolm and Ben kneel, saying, "This humble servant greets the young lady of the Duchy of Zatopia!"
Camilla stands and says calmly, "Malcom, it's been a long time. How are you?"
Malcom replies in the same posture, "Better now that I've seen you, my young lady..."
Camilla sighs, then looks at Lang Yu leaning against a tree, then at Rosa lying unconscious on the ground.
Camilla wipes her shoe on her daughter Rosa's face and says with disgust, "A vile human... to give birth to something so filthy..."
Then she spits in her face and kicks her repeatedly in front of everyone until blood begins to flow. "Disgusting filth... a damned, filthy human..."
Then she stops, Rosa's face covered in blood and dirt, even though she is still... Unconscious
Camilla sighs and smooths her hair, then asks Malcom,
"How's the plan going so far, Malcom...?"
Malcom speaks with a serious expression,
"The plan is excellent. We've ignited a war between the Black Fingers organization and revolutionaries against a royal government and the nobility...
We've facilitated every means of fighting them for the past 30 years.
We spread lies and accusations that the nobility oppresses the people.
Then we gathered the most powerful individuals who harbored resentment towards the nobility and created the Black Fingers organization.
After that, we made the Black Fingers organization appear as the saviors of the people, the poor, and the needy,
and we made it appear as an evil organization that claims to be good and traffics in human beings in front of the nobility, the king, and the people oppressed by the Black Fingers organization..."
Camila smiles, saying,
"So the king, the nobility, and the oppressed people see the Black Fingers organization as evil, and the Black Fingers organization and the oppressed see the nobility and the king as evil...
What a clever move, Malcom... But how Did you make this possible?"
Ben replies,
"My lady, we have hired one hundred thousand people over the past thirty years and made them steal, kill, and oppress people and nobles.
Half of them claim to be emissaries of the nobility, and the other half claim to be members of the Black Fingers organization.
This is how we have divided a people and a kingdom in two, forcing them to fight each other.
In two months, the kingdom will be utterly destroyed..."
Camilla smiles wickedly and laughs savagely.
"Hahaha... Humans are truly stupid. And now, in two months, the Duchy of Zatopia will prepare its army to intervene in the affairs of the Kingdom of Maltalia under the guise of peace, resolving problems, and helping the kingdom return to a state of peace."
Malcom and Ben stand, saying,
"Yes, my lady... This is how the Duchy of Zatopia will control the Kingdom of Maltalia from behind the scenes, controlling the Senate and rivaling the power of a royal family...
And soon, after ten years of taking benefits from the Kingdom of Maltalia, the Duchy of Zatopia will take the control of the green forest kingdom..."
Camilla smiles.
"Yes, and that's how my father will love me and acknowledge me as the heir to the duchy.
Then I'll seize the throne and rule the kingdom itself ...
Then I'll conquer Maltalia completely, then Robana, then Cynthia, and that's how I'll build my empire, the Black Rose Empire."
Malcolm and Ben kneel, saying,
"Riseup, Black Rose Empire!"
Camilla walks towards Lang Yu, stepping over her daughter Rosa as she stands before him.
"And also...? Who are you, boy from the eastern continent?"
Lang Yu speaks calmly.
"Lang Yu is simply someone who hates the kingdom of Maltalia and wants its ruin."
Malcom says,
"My lady, he is a very important person to us. He is, in fact, someone who was truly harmed by one of the nobles of the kingdom of Maltalia.
Years ago, Viscount Ramson kidnapped his sister.
Lang Yu tried to capture him after a long search, but in Finally, he discovered that his sister had married Winson Bamira..."
Camila smiled. "Oh, so you're Sang-ya's brother? Winson Bamira's first wife. She was a great woman... But something bothers me. Why do you want revenge even though your sister lived happily with someone from the kingdom you want to destroy?"
Lang-Yu spoke. "Winson Bamira abandoned my nephew and niece as soon as she died for a woman he thought was more beautiful, and that woman is you..."
Camila's face darkened. "So you want revenge on me?"
Lang-Yu said, "Don't worry, it's not your fault you're beautiful."
Camilla laughed at Lang's sullen face and said,
"You're quite the character, East Continental boy..."
She walked a little way, then took a small knife from her dress pocket and stood in front of her daughter, Rosa.
"Malcolm, burn this knife," she said. "I want to draw something beautiful on my beautiful daughter's face..."
Malcom accelerated the electrons of oxygen atoms around the knife, causing it to heat up and ignite a flame, making it extremely hot.
Camilla smiled and said to Ben, "Wake her up... Ben..."
Ben slapped Rosa's neck to wake her and held her hands to prevent her from moving.
It took Rosa a few minutes to wake up.
She opened her eyes and began to feel pain and a burning sensation on her face.
She was shocked to see that her mother, the one who had given birth to her, breastfed her, raised her, kissed her cheek before bed, and stayed up with her when she was sick, was burning her face with a sharp knife.
Rosa was speechless with shock at what she saw and screamed loudly in pain.
The one who suddenly turned back on her... She screamed as if her soul were leaving her face, covered in blood, filth, and dirt, smoke billowing from the intense burning.
Camilla stood smiling and said, "Hmm, that's how you look..."
Rosa writhed on the ground in agony, her face scarred by a burn that spelled out the word "filthy."
It was truly a terrible time for Rosa, as if a winter's night had enveloped her.
Rosa wasn't really hurting from a previous burn or beating... but rather from the actions of her beloved mother.
But as the sun always does, it rises even after a long, cold night... the sun rose again today.
Camilla said, throwing down a knife, "Let's leave now and return to the Duchy..."
Malcom spoke up, "What about the masters of the organization and the Bamira family? Should we interfere further...?"
Camilla smiled. "Let them kill and cut themselves even more..."
Ben asked, "What about her, my lady?"
Camilla replied with a frown and annoyance, "Just give her to some bandits to enjoy..."
Ben drew his sword and advanced towards Rosa.
Rosa looked at him sadly and bitterly, saying, "Even you, Ben...?"
Ben moved his sword towards Rosa's body, saying coldly, "Yes, even me..."
Camilla advanced, hearing the sound of a brutal blow and seeing blood spurting everywhere, a sticky sound revealing the extent of the fluids and blood that had flowed until a drop fell on Camila's dress.
She became angry and looked back, saying, "You idiot! You've soiled my clothes with her blood!"
...
Then she saw Malcom and Lang Yu before her, raising their swords, trembling and fearful like an atom defying the universe...
A huge man with a great black aura and intense golden eyes with huge rings flying everywhere was holding Ben by the neck, while Ben was covered in blood and unconscious from the first blow.
A broken sword belonging to that man began to radiate an aura that made the moon, sky, trees, and earth bow down Because of the strength of the man before her,
Camilla was shocked by the horror of what she saw, her eyes wide with disbelief.
As the sun always did... it rose .....
